!!!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.

Beautiful property, perfect views!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this place! We woke up looking at the beach every morning. The place was super clean. Had plenty of cooking utensils and supplies! A huge plus was the water softener and filtered water! Beds were comfy, plenty of space for storage, and we were just a few steps away from the beach. I do wish the pool was bigger, however, we did get to enjoy it when it was empty. Office staff was super friendly and helpful when checking in and out and when asking questions. Overall, highly recommend booking your next SPI getaway here.

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.
Completely equipped and beautifully maintained property.

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.
