23 Reviews of Property 299612 in Corpus Christi, Texas

The place was located on the beach, however the condo we had was at the other end of the building, not the best view that was described but there was a view there. It was still good. Located in a nice quiet area, but close and convenient to everyhting. Would not go without a vehicle to drive.
The condo we had I would not recommend 6 people, it had a bedroom and bunkbeds, but really no where else for anyone to sleep. 2 adults and 2 kids would be fine in the place, anymore would make it crowded.
The kitchen was small but adequate, good for making breakfast and lunch but as far as a full dinner not recommended. We didn't care as we went out to eat every night, lots of good restaurants close by to choose from, all types.
As far as the overall place, the couch could be replaced getting very worn out, the bed was as comfortable as any hotel bed, we slept fine, not like sleeping in your own. the overall cleansiness of the place could have been better, not a 5 star place.
Texas State Aquarium, and USS Lexington are can't miss sightseeing things, plus if you have a day go to Padre Island State Park and spend time there. Take a drive down the beach there, very nice things to see and do.
If we were to go back to Corpus Christi to visit, would definately think about going back here.

We did not spend a lot of time inside the condo, as you can imagine, however, we found it to be pleasant, comfortable, and convenient.

Our boys (ages 10 and 8) loved the bunk beds, especially since they had never slept on bunks before. We appreciated having both televisions to keep up with the Olympics and other channels we don't normally get to watch! Although we didn't prepare any hot meals, we liked having the appliances and refrigerator available to keep bottled water, fruit, and prepare quick breakfasts and late night snacks. So many bars and hooks in the bathroom came in handy with frequent showers and trips to the beach and pool. The walk to the beach was easy and parking was never an issue. We never had any trouble with disturbances at night that kept us awake, but that could be because the bed was so comfortable!

We were able to take part in many fun and unique experiences while in Corpus Christi. Upon arrival, we immediately visited the beach for a few hours. One day, we walked to the USS Lexington, had lunch at Pier 99, and strolled along the beach back "home." A favorite of the whole family was the Hooks baseball game and the Whataburger on the Bay was fun, too. We loved our time at Padre Island National Seashore: building castles, playing in the waves, and resting on the powdery sand. Treasure Island Golf and Games provided a great Sunday evening family activity after dinner at B & J's Pizza.

Thanks so much for such an easy experience. We look forward to visiting Corpus again!

The condo was a great place to stay at for a vacation. My friends and I (5 of us in total) enjoyed our time in the room. The unit was in the corner of the complex, there was not much noise that could be heard by other units, which was really nice. The beds were clean and there were plenty of fresh towels when we arrived. It was really nice to be just a short walk from the beach and since it's a fairly isolated area of Corpus Christi, there were not too many people on beach to be overcrowded. I highly recommend the restaurant Pier 99 that was recommended by they owners. It's only a few minutes drive from the complex and served fantastic seafood. The fishing in the area was also great, with numerous locations to fish at. Overall, I would recommend this place to any of my family or friends.

Advertized as "sleeps 6" but if all six are awake there is little room to move. We only had 4 and felt a bit tight. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable but the sleeper sofa and bunk beds were not habitable. Thank goodness we brought a blow up double bed for the teens to share or we would have been miserable. The space was clean and the kitchen is well appointed for vacation needs. I had read other reviews so I knew to bring my own extra toilet paper and papertowels as well as bath towels as there were only 6 and I didn't want to have to do laundry that often on vacation.
We left a day early because there just isn't that much to do in the area and the jelly fish had come in after the first 3 days so swimming at the beach became impossible.

We have been going to Villa de Sol for the past 5 yrs. . I will have to say this was the best condo we have stayed in! All have been clean and well stocked, but this one was very clean and updated. The sheets were better than mine at home :-). All the towels were bright white and fresh. We have already decided to make reservations now, for next year for this condo. Being an end unit provided for "extra quietness" too. Each year we have seen improvement to the entire complex - happy to go back. We always take in a Hooks game, a movie in Portland on Tuesday - it's FREEE popcorn night & shopping at the Bleu Frog is fun too. There's so much to do and enjoy.

Thanks for a nice stay! The place was a good fit for our family.

Before we arrived, we called ahead to see if we could check in early which was great when you have 2 small children. We pulled up to the front desk & noticed a sign on the door. Apparently, the city would be turning off the water sometime the next day to the entire complex. I was quite troubled & a little upset since none of this was mentioned to me when I spoke with Tim & Elaine. If I had known, I would have booked elsewhere.

The condo complex is run down, but it looks like they are trying to update the exterior. The condo is small, but it had all the basics. There was very little dishwashing soap. I had to turn the bottle over & prop it against the wall. The hand soap dispenser had a broken spout, so we had to be careful especially when my 3 yr old wanted to wash his hands. We had enough towels in the bathroom but none for the kitchen to dry the dishes. The front door still needs weatherstripping along the sides of the door. The entire condo leaks like a sieve. No wonder the ac runs all the time. The bunk beds are a great addition; however, the mattress is barely wide entire for a toddler. My 3 yo couldn't even roll over, so he ended up sleeping with my husband & I in the queen bed.

The condo is the farthest unit from the beach & closest to the road & basketball court. The walk to the beach isn't very far, but you have to either walk through the breezeway or the parking lot which is in need of repair. There is a gate with a card lock when you get to the end of the property which is great if the front desk had told me that I would need a card key for the lock. I had to walk all the way back to the condo the first time. The showers close to the gate were great to wash off the sand. The condo was fine during the day, but it was noisy at night. People played loud music in their cars and played basketball at all hours. The ac unit was loud when it switched on, and the fridge was constantly making noises.

In anticipation for no water, we filled every pot and bowl we could find & put them in the bath since there wasn't a plug. Since the jellyfish were washing on shore that morning, we decided to let the kids play at the pool. It was 9:15 am and there was a pad lock on the pool gate. The pool open at 9. We had to call Elaine, and she had to call the mgmt which tried to say the pool would be closed due to no water. Someone did come by & unlocked the gate.

For the money, the location was good but not worth the annoyances.

Upon arriving, I called to see if I could get an early check in, which I could, so that was great. When we actually got to the condo, we noticed that there were no towels. I called and they apologized and brought some right over. They only brought a set of four (for the four of us for two nights), but that wasn't really the biggest issue I had. I set my baby down to crawl around. When I picked him up, his little legs were black. There is no way that the floors have been cleaned properly. I have hard floors at my house as well and his legs have never been black like that.

Once we got settled in, I noticed that they had also failed to leave us any paper towels. The dish soap had about 1/2" left and had obviously been watered down at that! The hand soap dispenser worked, but the top part had been broken off, so you had to be careful how you used it.

I noticed from a previous review that someone had complained that there was no weather stripping on the front door. This still hasn't been fixed as you can see a wide gap and daylight all around the door.

Also, you have to make sure that the fridge door is shut very firmly. My husband failed to do this and everything spoiled overnight.

The linens were very low quality, the decor - so so, and the unit was not as clean as I expected. I have stayed in quite a few condos and this one was a let down. (especially after seeing pretty good reviews). It was small, as I expected, but felt that the quality was poor.

The location of the condo was right on the beach and although this condo is on the side closest to the street, it's a short walk through the complex to the gate to the beach. For the complex, it looks likes it's aging and needs a few repairs. Only one of the outdoor showers was working (I tried the ones at the beach and one of the pools and the hot tub area and none of those worked). My son and I were both pretty covered in sand, so luckily we found one that worked. This was our first trip to the area and I think next time we will look for a different spot.
