This condo was just as advertised with everything we needed for our stay. The facilities and grounds were very well maintained including the pet-friendly area which was greatly appreciated. Access in and out was easy and the gated parking was a plus. The Keurig quit working one day and within hours, a new one was delivered to our door. I would highly recommend staying at this condo if you are going to South Padre Island.

The condo was lovely! Very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The location was superb and our balcony view of the Gulf & beach was spectacular! We did lots of walking along the surf and enjoyed shopping, coffee/ice cream shops and wonderful dining nearby. And the weather couldn’t have been better. We will undoubtedly return to South Padre Island!

We stay in this Condo every chance we can for our post Summer visit. The beauty of the ocean is enjoyable upon opening the door to departure. The owners and property management are friendly and readily available. The condo is clean, well appointed with all items you need, high end furnishings, and is close to everything while away from the party area. We love the condo and return yearly!

Ocean Vista Towers 4th stay

This is a beautiful unit with views to die for, very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend the Ocean Vista Towers and this unit for your stay. We were saddened to find out upon arrival that the pool, hot tub and tennis courts were all closed for remodeling but the condo management did their best to make amends for a situation out of their control. Coco Beach Club next door was kind enough to let us use their pool and they were great to rent chairs and umbrellas from. When the amenity remodels are complete this will be a dreamy place to stay!!!!

Beautiful Decor and Great Location!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautifully decorated home. We enjoyed coffee overlooking the ocean and beach below every morning. Then, we walked to great sunset bars and restaurants every night. This is an excellent location for those that prefer to walk rather than drive to shops and restaurants. New pool and new tennis courts are being completed as well!

Beautiful view, well kept complex

Our family stayed here and the condo had a wonderful view and was situated in a well kept complex. We had a good stay, but unfortunately communication at the complex wasn’t great. There are a few people involved regarding picking up parking permits, wrist bands, entry codes, etc. When we arrived our code didn’t work to enter the parking gate to the complex. Someone staying there let us in and told us their code. The manager’s office onsite was empty with a sign saying to call, I called multiple times and no answer, I texted and no answer. Others were arriving and had the same experience. We ran into security and they were helpful and able to get a hold of manager on site. We finaeverythin hours.

Perfect location

This condo was absolutely perfect for our vacation. We were two couples that wanted a beachfront location. Our condo had a beautiful view of the water, easy access to the pool and to the beach. Walking access to multiple restaurants, the liquor store, several bars, a large grocery store, and of course a ice cream store. The condo itself was clean and mostly well stocked. We had to buy ourselves a couple boxes of tissues and ran out of toilet paper fairly quickly, but the easy access to the grocery store helped to resolve that. Will definitely keep this place in mind for any future trips to the island.

Great Location!

We enjoyed our stay! Great amenities, loved that everything was within walking distance-restaurants, shopping and groceries. We bought an umbrella and kept it there for other guests, since the loungers out in front of condo on the beach are for the “owners only”. Condo was decorated nicely and the washer/dryer came in handy. It was nice having a king bed although the mattress was very soft and frame very noisy. Thanks for letting us stay in your home, we would recommend.
