Description from owner
Description
Last month 2 different guests let their child draw all over my freshly painted walls and toilet. I am not a happy camper at the moment.
**RIGHT ON UNCROWDED BEACH, not just beach view (my phone is off 10 pm to 6 am for inquiries. Instant book OK)
**summer Min.3 nights for a more relaxed vacation(Summer:3=$757, week =$1,515 summer).4 days min. for Memorial day & July 4th.(4=$1010.00)
**BEYOND MY CONTROL=taxes(30 days=no tax),& $15.00 check in
**8 AM CHECK IN'S & 5 PM CHECK OUTS (24/7)
**Labor day to before memorial day weekend= CHEAPER & weekday= cheaper.
**100% owner managed! I own & manage only one unit. Condo is 480 SF vs.hotel room 350 SF.
**Complex soon finishing the damage during the Texas freeze but fitness room is not finished yet.
**This is not a fancy, luxurious, elegant condo(SIMPLY DECORATED, pics accurate & things MAY NOT MATCH)Please review ME & MY CONDO not things like weather, elevator down, cable, internet, seasonal jellyfish, beach sand (reclaimed) condition of buildings (2 stars),city waterline break, electricity disruptions ,etc. If in the unlikely event condo has not been cleaned, please let me know immediately
**BY BOOKING, you agree to HOUSE RULES & conditions of use. Be very sure before booking to read all this. NO CANCELLATIONS :AFTER CANCELLATION TIME!! For true emergencies I will, however, offer rescheduling that must be done within 3 months if there is availability. If not used within that time, offer will expire. Unless eye of hurricane is within 25 to 150 miles away, the only inconvenience is rain & a little wind.
**YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR A BAY FRONT because they are LARGER, balcony is private & you get a 180° beach view.
**I live 10 minutes away for ANY problems.
**Gated with security.
**This is top floor at end (one condo to the left & one condo underneath) with no foot traffic outside door
**Balcony is shaded after 12(no hot afternoon sun).Beach is much safer(no driving on beach, no rip tides).
**Everything supplied in kitchen, EMERGENCY SUPPLIES WHEN NEEDED, high chair when requested, pots, pans, bake ware,utensils,22 spices, BBQ TOOLS, wine corkscrew, pizza cutter, full fridge, ice trays, blender, microwave, toaster, can opener, ground coffee maker, filtered coffee packs, slow cooker, lots of BEACH TOYS,BIG trucks(wagon to tote them to beach)binoculars (ships, birds, DOLPHINS),hundreds of DVD MOVIES,ALL popular ROKU apps, pool noodles, boogie boards, T.P. for each day up to 7,1 paper towel, coffee, sugar, cream,2 beach chairs,2 chaises, gripper umbrella stand & umbrella broke (recommend you bring canopy) ,2 beach towels, beach mats, small drink cooler ice chest holds 8 drinks, Nice vacuum, all cleaning supplies, dish soap, liquid soap(diluted for foaming container),hotel supplies, library of novels, spare light bulbs,& more, just ask! Two 40" wall mounted TVs..
I expect guests to leave condo as they found it putting dirty linens in hamper. I then clean, sanitize it completely & wash linens(IN CLOSET)in hot water & laundry fresh smell.
**THIS IS RENTED AS IS.1- I will do my best to clean it (bleaching everything that can be bleached, vacuuming, dusting)but 2-if you need more cleaning(or are a neat freak),my cleaning supplies or ones you prefer & buy, will clean it better. Chances are I will miss some small cleaning & I apologize.3-I can charge you 150.00 & hire a professional to clean if you want.(I DO NOT CLEAN INSIDE CUPBOARDS OR DRAWERS. You should always clean items before use) I use foggers & defense spray(kept in closet)every month so I might miss the occasional dead bug in closet. Beaches & palm trees attract giant Texas size water bugs(keep doors closed)so there might be an occasional live one ready to die in my sprayed condo.
**SIX PERSONS MAXIMUM NO MATTER HOW SMALL! This only sleeps 4 adults & 2 children under age 18 maximum(bunk beds are for those under 5' 5" & ARE VERY NARROW:CHILDREN ONLY).5 OR 6 ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 18 NOT ALLOWED in one condo at VDS SUBJECT TO EVICTION by VDS. TEENAGERS UNDER 18 ARE CONSIDERED CHILDREN
**Close to everything. Biking & walking on beach boardwalk to restaurants, shops, & sites is highly recommended (parking for aquarium $5.00). Bikes can be kept in one of 2 bike racks(securely locked) on property or taken up elevator & stored crowded in hallway or balcony of condo,
**NO pets, but there is a pet resort will board animals in luxurious conditions.
**Visitors guide & guest book in condo.
**Mail box & key for long stays.
**FYI: 5 charcoal grills.
**Every time Make sure door is locked when you leave.
**Managed: Inside condo=me, complex=office staff, booking = Trip advisor
**SUMMER Cole Park :FRIDAYS free movie, THURSDAYS free concert.
**Thank you!

“Amazing location”
My wife and I brought our 2 boys to visit Corpus and picked the perfect place to stay. The location of this one and the owner make it great. Ms Roxanna is super quick to respond to any needs or questi… More

Response from the owner I am so glad to get such a good review. As I have said before, I try very hard to make sure that everyone has a great time. I also try to give you your space. When you book far ahead, it seems like forever to get there but before you know it is here. I cannot stress enough the unobstructed view that only a bay front affords and the privacy of top floor on the end which you mentioned both. I see reviews where guests are disappointed because the pictures lied or the condo was falsely represented. The complex itself is on the beach but only 45 are true bayfronts. And if I didn't say it, I loved you guys. Perfect, perfect people. My only disappointment was that you couldn't stay another night to get the hooks free bobblehead promotion (lol). Thank you again for being the perfect guest and for writing a review.

“The best view one could get! And it was worth it!”
I booked this condo wanting to get as close to the gulf as possible. This was the best available and what a view! Sitting on the balcony watching the waves roll in was relaxing and it was certainly va… More

Response from the owner Dear Terry. What an awesome (awesome) picture of your kiddos. I appreciate your positive feedback about my condo "The Sands Of Time". I do take pride in catering to my guests' needs the best way I can. If you're traveling to my area again soon, don't hesitate to book with me again. The kids would love it (hint hint) Your review came at a perfect time. I just had a guest complaining that when someone was standing in the hall you cannot see the water. All I could say was: Really. So warning to all.... you can usually see the water from the front door unless a person is standing in the hall!!!!!! Again, thank you....

“Relaxing and perfect view and location at this condo.”
Roxana is the perfect host at this condo. She makes sure your trip goes as comfortable and smooth as it can be. Her condo is the best view, front and corner. The privacy is wonderful, sitting on ba… More

Response from the owner Booking early as you did, it seemed like forever for your trip but before you know it, it came and went. I thank you for this review. How really, really sweet of you to write a review and to be so so sweet. I really do aim to please. After trip advisor releases my phone number to guests, I do expect to be texted with any and all questions and requests. Before that, I will answer all questions on trip advisor. I can't control the weather but you had such great weather last week. WOW. Its been a funny weather year for everyone. Thank you very very much again.

“Awesome!!!”
The condo is right on the beach-with an amazing view!!! The condo is a little small but with all the things to do and see in Corpus Christi you hardly notice! Condo is kept clean and ready. Plus, it&r… More

Response from the owner Thank you so much. I loved meeting you and your family because of the back to back booking. I loved the excitement on your sons face when I showed him the beach toys. And as I told you, your baby is a future heart breaker and so so cute. Getting guests to write reviews is difficult. For myself, I usually remember when things are really really bad but I now know how important reviews are so I need to be better. You had a choice of any unit and you chose me. You also gave a fantastic review so even better. Thank you again and I hope you will come back. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Nice but crowded.”
The view is awesome. Right on the water. Beach very clean. We actually rode our bikes to dinner. Room was nice but a bit crowded even for 2 people. Bedroom needed air freshener. Bring your own pi… More

Response from the owner Thank you so much for the review. Biking or walking on the board walk is quite easy on Corpus Christi Beach to all the restaurants, souvenir shops and sites. And you can ride bikes on the Corpus Christi bay-front like I do close to my house. Yes, 480 square feet is small but beleive it or not the bayfronts are bigger than the bay views. I have cleaned the bedroom carpet temporarily but plan to deep clean it once the season is over.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for 2 things 1- being such an absolutely great guest and 2- for writing a review (and it being a good review). Usually everyone is like me: when something is bad, we are mad and we say something. But when things are good we don't say anything. Again, thank you , thank you, and I look forward to your next stay (hint,hint). I thank you for taking the time to do this review for me......

Response from the owner Thank you so much for the review. You were a great guest. Like so many people, I usually say something if things are bad and don't bother if I have no problems. I so so appreciate you taking the time and giving a review. Thank you again.
