Family spring break

Amazing spring break trip! The condo was exactly like the pictures showed. It was clean and had everything we needed. The views were beautiful. Check in and out were fast and easy. We got immediate responses from Ed and Betty. We couldn’t have had a more relaxing vacation.

Beautiful sunrise. Pristine Beach.

Beautiful sunrise! Right on a pristine beach. Private entrance to beach and gated community. We were there in March and somehow avoided the spring breakers. The location is excellent. Bedrooms well done. Kitchen well stocked. Beautiful in every way. What a blessing!

Great location for the SpaceX Rocket Launch

We stayed at this condo for the rocket launch and had a great experience. It was about a 20-minute walk down to the park to see the launch, which was very convenient. The condo was clean and well-maintained. The view of the Gulf of Mexico from the balcony, living room and master bedroom is incredible. Note that the master bedroom has the only TV, and the internet can be intermittent at times. Ed was responsive and didn't require us to do a chore list before we checked out - which was a nice added touch since most of the VRBOs I stay in all require a checklist before checking out. It was a good experience.

Amazing Stay on South Padre Island!

This was our first trip to South Padre Island and we would definitely return to this condo and spot. We loved our trip! View is beautiful! The condo was beautifully decorated, well stocked, nice washer and dryer, clean and easy beach access. The beds were comfortable, plenty of linens. We were alittle disappointed that the coffee maker in photos was different than the one in condo. Had to return to store for coffee because the k cups we brought wouldn’t work. Host was quick to respond to minor things we noticed. 4 adults and 2 children fit in the condo comfortably. Thank you so much for sharing your home! Seriously such an amazing experience! We hope to be back soon!

Great condo, location and view!

Our family had a wonderful stay over all. It was a great view, good communication from owner. The Master bedroom isn’t as private as I would have hoped. The master sliding doors didn’t provide the privacy one would hope for with a stay like this. Also the sofa only seats two people, and isn’t big enough for another person to sleep on. You can’t seat 8 people comfortably for a movie. Living room seats 4. Bring your own shampoo/ conditioner and soap as the small samples provided don’t last long. Also bring your own laundry detergent and pillow cases. Lots of extra pillows but no extra sheets or pillow cases. Stocked kitchen utilities, dishes pans, but no oil so bring your own cooking items. Great chairs, umbrella and wagon for the beach, very helpful. Code on door works, but it takes a few times each time to go through, could need fresh batteries? We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back!

Wonderful stay!

We had the best stay! The condo was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our trip and then some from beach towels to coolers and chairs for the beach. The A/C worked really well. We had a minor issue with one of the showers draining slowly but I contacted Ed and he had someone come out immediately. I really liked that there were two queen size beds in one room instead of twin size beds. The beds were so comfortable! This was the first trip to the beach for toddler grandson and he had a blast! We would love to stay here again in the future.

Great views! Great location!

We were a little hesitant to make our trip due to weather, but decided to go anyways. And we are glad we did! We were so close to the beach, just steps away. The place has everything you could need! In the kitchen utensils, pots pans everything. Also beach chairs, umbrella. We were very pleased. 100/10 recommend 👌

Just want our family needed! Relaxed Beach Get away

We were sad to leave today, but plan to return and hopefully book this same 3bedroom/3bath Condo again. It was on the 2nd floor with perfect views of the beach! The condo was clean, well stocked, comfy beds, and overall just a great location! The owners were very easy to work with and responsive to my questions. We appreciated that! We definitely recommend this unit at Sea Viata.

Beautiful (and quiet) beachfront condo

We had a family trip planned for our son's 19th birthday. The condo is beautifully styled, clean and well stocked. Loved that it was so quiet, steps to the beach and with a pool. Gorgeous views on the balcony - a perfect spot to have morning coffee or just to view the ocean in the shade. The beds were super comfortable and we appreciated having 2 king bed rooms. The host was very responsive and we would definitely stay here again. Great for families and those who want a quiet, relaxing Padre vacation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on Padre Island!

From the building management staff to the owners, everyone was so kind and helpful. The owners thought of everything. The condo was beautifully decorated, quiet, with ceiling to floor views of the beach. The beach had very soft sand and was very private. This is the first time I have been this comfortable in a vrbo rental. Absolutely Perfect!! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

Amazing views

This property has great access to the beach. The views from the condo are awesome. This corner condo was very quiet and clean. The pool was an added bonus. The kitchen was well stocked for us to make some of our own meals and the ice maker was nice to have. It worked great for two couples with two bathrooms and two king beds. We appreciated the extra amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms. The owner was quick to respond anytime we had a question. We hope we can return sometime.
