Very nice condo in SPI, right on the beach, clean. The owners provided everything from shampoo and soap to spices in the kitchen, to toys and towels for the beach. It's a home away from home and Serena was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Great Family vacation on the ocean

What a great escape to this ocean side condo! We enjoyed our coffee every morning on the balcony listening to the waves crash. We loved being walking distance to many restaurants and activities (we visited grapevine cafe many time- delicious!) Beach equipment was very nice to have, we all boogie boarded frequently. All the little details (beach towels, spices, laundry detergent, ect.) were taken care of.

Perfect!

The condo, facilities, and location were all perfect! The beds were so comfy, the shower heads were perfect, and we literally had everything we needed. We loved the layout of the condo and that the walkway to the beach was extended which made it easier to pull the wagon. We could walk to the super market and local restaurants, and not to mention an amazing view!! We will definitely be back.

Perfect Location

Took the family on a beach vacation at this property and had a great time. This condo had an awesome view, right on the beach, and came with everything we needed for our fun in the sun. It really felt like home away from home with how comfortable the furniture and beds were. They even went out of their way to provide us with special laundry soap, at our request, since our kids have sensitive skin. If you are considering a vacation spot at the beach on SPI, I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Unit at OVT

Beautiful view and fully stocked unit. Everything you could ever need they have available for use (beach towels, chairs, wagon, sand toys). Property owners reply quickly with any questions you may have during your stay. We had a wonderful time and loved being able to sit on the balcony anytime of day to enjoy the sound of the waves. We will definitely be back next summer!

Our best SPI stay yet!

We loved everything about Ocean Vista 1105. As others have commented, the owners of this property have done an excellent job of supplying everything you might need during your stay. The location is excellent, walking distance to Grapevine Cafe and the Blue Marlin Grocery store. The complex itself is pristine. There are always maintenance people around, mopping the exterior floors and keeping common areas clean. The owners replied very quickly to any questions we had. I hope we can come back many times in the future!

Wonderful property

We had a fantastic spring break week at this property! Everything is as promised-- plentiful kitchen, bath, and beach supplies. There was abundant toys, chair, umbrella, boogie boards, and nice big and thick beach towels. Comfy beds and pillows. The unit was well maintained and it was so lovely to be able to sit on the porch to eat and have a separate area to lounge. The beach was also great and not crowded even during spring break. The kids enjoyed collecting shells and playing in the sand, not to mention the kiddie pool which was heated. We were able to easily walk to the grocery store, and many other restaurants we wanted to go to. We could not have asked for anything more. One of the best properties we have stayed at in South Padre and we hope to be back! Thanks!

Awesome condo!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful condo with us!! I have never stayed in a VRBO that had EVERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING you need to enjoy the beach! From beach towels, beach chairs (several not just 2) boogie boards, umbrellas and the cart made it so easy to get stuff down to the beach which was a very easy walk! The condo was very stocked with everything you need from the Keurig machine and coffee to body soap and shampoo and rinse. I have stayed in many VRBOS and never had anyone provide as much as you do! I cannot forget to mention the king bed was amazing! I slept sooo good! Thank you again and we will be back for sure!

Family friendly, great location

Property was amazing! We stayed with our 4 boys, one an infant. The condo was in a wonderful location and even though we had a car, we chose to walk to shops, the grocery store and the Gravity park. Condo was quiet and very comfortable. Pull out sofa was surprisingly cozy too! Lots of pots pans and dishes, which are often lacking in rentals. Loved having a washer and dryer with detergent. The beach was so easy to access and we used the cart full of boogie boards and sand toys every day. Also played tennis with the provided racquets and balls. Baby pool is fairly deep, 2 ft or more, and very warm. Hot tub steamy and nice in the evenings. Very relaxing stay.

Definite “Wow” factor better than pictures!

This place was so modern and clean and when you walk in you get Full ocean views that take your breath away! They literally have thought of every amenity to make your vacation a dream come true. The platform beds are amazing. The master bedroom is even raise to so that when you wake up you can see an unobstructed view over the railings. The patio dining set was also bar height so you could see over the railings. They have boogie boards, tennis racquets. Football, all the beach toys for our kids. Brand new TVs in every room. Oh and the seating! Plenty of dinner and leather bar seating so everybody had a place to eat and watch TV and watch the beautiful ocean. The kitchen was fully equipped so we can cook for meals and we didn’t feel like going out to eat. The property itself Was also gorgeous very close to the beach, very clean with a Jacuzzi, child’s pool. and large pool to accommodate everybody Can’t wait to come back!

Best Condo and Property on the Island

We could not be more pleased with our stay. We use VRBO lot when we travel, and we have always had a good experience, but our stay at Sheldon's was different. Instead of feeling like an VRBO rental, we felt more like friends had given us access to their fabulous beach condo and they wanted our family to enjoy it as much as they do. Every communication made us feel this way, including the hand-written note we found on arrival about the cookie dough and ice cream that had been left in the freezer for us. That little touch was among many that made us feel so welcomed! Although we never met them in person, we felt their warm hospitality throughout our stay. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. The balcony overlooking the beach was where we spent a lot of time when the weather wasn't great - it was nice to still be able to sit outside and hear the waves. The beds were very comfortable. The towels - and there are a ton of them! - were RIDICULOUSLY soft and luxurious. Even our little guy commented on the towels! Everything we needed to make meals was in the kitchen and it was great having access to a washer and dryer. The shower heads were awesome and had great water pressure. It was so nice to have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available so we didn't have to worry about packing it. There were all sorts of games available and we had such fun playing them. The Blu-Ray/DVD player and the included Amazon prime video were great for movie marathons in the evenings. The heated pool was a huge hit with the kids! The location cannot be beat. The area is super walkable. We walked just a few minutes to breakfast at the Grapevine Cafe and to Blue Marlin grocery. Sheldon, thanks for sharing your place! We hope to be back!
