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.

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.

Great stay!

This condo was beautiful and it has a breathtaking view. The location to the beach was wonderful and easy to access. My 80 year old mother in law and 1 year son had no trouble getting back and forth to the beach. It is a really great location for families. The building is a little dated, but it is well taken care of. Ed was very quick to help us out when we were having trouble accessing the property. We will certainly be back.

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.

Fantastic Get Away!

Ed and Betty were INCREDIBLE hosts! When I say, I have never had more hospitable hosts, I mean that. Everything was provided for and in abundance. We needed for nothing. My husband's family used to own this condo when he was a child and it was so wonderful to see how beautiful Ed and Betty have made it. Our stay was stress free, amazing and nostalgic. We will 100% be back! Thank you for being amazing!

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!

Perfect location, beautiful unit

My family of four (two kids under 10) truly enjoyed our stay at this property. The unit has a great location in the complex as it is very close to the boardwalk that takes you to the beach. We actually loved the location on the beach as well because there weren't as many people. The unit is decorated beautifully, with new furnishings. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the unit was perfect for us and offered plenty of space. One word of warning for anyone with young children (under 5): While the furnishings are lovely, there are a lot of glass and ceramic objects that little fingers might be curious about touching. Also, bring your own soap for the shower as none is provided. The complex is older, but clean. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to South Padre.

Plenty of space in condo with a kitchen that contains all the items you will need for your stay. Condo is very quiet with a great view of the ocean.

!!!Unsafe & Unresolved – Don’t Book This Condo!!!We’ve stayed at Sea Vista many times with great experiences—UNTIL THIS UNIT. The issues we faced were specific to this condo and owner, and serious enough that we will not book here again.The worst: a ceiling fan fell in the early morning hours due to improper installation. It could have caused serious injury. The owner insinuated our child caused it—though she was asleep when it happened and the crash woke the whole condo. We spent our last day waiting for an electrician who never came. The host refused any refund, hiding behind a “mechanical failure” clause that does not apply to a falling ceiling fan.Additional issues:•Master bed extremely hard and uncomfortable•Dishes were dirty and needed rewashing•Coffee maker wasn’t as listed (no Keurig option)•Hall shower drained poorly•Fan light in dbl room had no switch•Lighted mirror didn’t work•Ice maker didn’t work well•Keypad frequently failed•Dishwasher was tiny, smelly, and required multiple runs a day due to size•WiFi was weak, and cell service was nearly nonexistentPositives: cute decor, cold AC, great washer/dryer, nice patio furniture, and convenient beach access. Again, Sea Vista is a great property, but this unit is not maintained or managed to the standard you’d expect. Until major repairs and better hosting practices are in place, I strongly recommend avoiding this listing.
