About this property

"Carmel" deluxe 1st-floor condo by pool, pond & beach

No wonder Tommy Bahama wants to spend an endless summer (year-round!) at "The Carmel" ~ and you would, too, even if only for a week or a weekend! This 2-bedroom (1st-floor) showcase condo, furnished in classy-coastal-cottage décor, is only a stroll away from Whitecap Beach, and is just steps away from all Beach Club resort-style amenities ~ pool, hot tub, sauna, gym. Yet you'll sense a quiet peace at "The Carmel” with its private patio views of the beckoning beach, the saltwater fishing lake and more...

It's all here! As far as all your Internet needs, "The Carmel" is equipped with fast-speed WiFi, the latest Spectrum cable, and 2 smart TVs, so you won't need to skip a beat with work or school, nor with your favorite programs. Has equipped-to-the-hilt kitchen and even a full-size washer & dryer for all your beachcomber laundry needs. Sleeping configurations include King-size in master bedroom, Queen-size in guest bedroom, Queen-size sofa bed in living room, plus portable youth-size folding cot, AND baby's pack-'n-play, too.

Please, NO PETS or EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: Our family has severe allergies and it is imperative that we keep our premises dog/cat dander-free. Folks with emotional support animals, regretfully, we must decline your inquiry to book due to this. While we understand your need, we cannot take the risk on our family's health, as this is our family's beach retreat. Much appreciated!

We named this splendid condo "The Carmel" because it reminds us of our California honeymoon location, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and this “Carmel” is also by the sea ~ actually only a 5-minute stroll to lovely Whitecap Beach. You couldn’t be any closer to all the water sports imaginable like fishing, boating, parasailing, windsurfing, you name it. Furthermore, it’s only a short drive to Padre Island National Seashore ~ the world's longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island. It all adds up to "The Carmel” being the ideal beach resort-style condo retreat for everyone ~ families, couples, honeymooners, wedding guests, babymooners, small groups (up to 6), plus baby – and yes, Tommy Bahama, too!

Above and Beyond
This condo was absolutely stunning! It was so beautifully decorated and felt like home. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and included lots of extras. They even provided spices for cooking. Richard and Marilyn are excellent hosts and provided exceptional communication through out the entire process. The check in process was seamless. They also provided details about the area and local amenities. Richard and Marilyn were very welcoming and kind. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and gym area. I wish we could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend staying at this condo, you won't regret it!

Didn’t want to leave
Very nice location for our families celebrations for a wedding and beach baptism. The beds were very comfortable. Condo was well equipped with everything we needed. We didn’t notice the beach towels in the master closet until the 2nd day. Will be sure to rent here again if ever back to Corpus.

Amazing!
Everything was wonderful. Our entire stay was so relaxing. The AC worked great, which was a perfect escape from this Texas heat. Both beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the pond, jumping fish, and sound of the breeze blowing over the water while sitting on the back porch. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The host replied quickly to any messages I sent. We couldn’t ask for more. We loved it so much and wanted to move in. We will definitely be back next year.

Nice weekend away
We have been staying at Beach Club condos at number of time over the last 10 years, and this was one of our best stays. Great location of the condo, and really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was.

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Marilyn Wheeler

Host profile image
My wife and I, hosts of Splendid Condos-by-the-Sea, have traveled the globe while serving in full-time ministry. We enjoy returning to our favorite historic landmarks, especially in the highlands and islands of our beloved Scotland where we've hosted numerous tours. But closer to home, we now have a new favorite island to visit – North Padre Island of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Why they chose this property

Having been raised in Santa Monica, California, we are beach people to the core. There’s something about the beach that is restorative and relaxing – the sound of waves, the expanse of the sea, and its wind blowing sea air on the face, and even the sound of squawking seagulls. And for us, a strong presence of God and the display of His awesome power is ever present at the beach. It’s hard to describe. As Vrbo Premier hosts of this splendid condo by the sea we call "The Carmel," we'd love for you to experience it all, too. Ahhh, for the simple beach life, we invite you!
