Fish from the pier, swim in the pool, walk to the beach.
Newly updated this completely furnished downstairs studio condominium is the perfect little beach get away or ' home away from home'. Take a leisurely stroll to the beach and Packery Chanel. Fish from the pier in the eighteen unit condominium canal, swim in the pool, walk over to the BoatHouse for a Sunday Brunch or relax on the patio. So many ways to enjoy this little vacation paradise. Lease by the night (two night minimum), by the week or by the month (no hotel taxes will be charged for a monthly rental, price will be adjusted upon booking). All you have to bring is your swimsuit!

Little disappointed
Although the unit was clean and the kitchen had snacks, etc. we did have an issue with the tv working correctly...we did contact host and did eventually get to work. However the bed, although the mattress and pillows were comfortable when we sat/laid on it we felt like we were in my grandmothers bed, meaning that it moved, would shake and squeak with every movement. And finally, the coffee provided was a flavored coffee and my husband will not drink that, though I did appreciate the effort. Thank you.
Doesn't look like much on the outside but the inside is so cute and all you need for a couples vacation. Water pressure in shower was amazing. Quick trip around the corner to the beach, which was beautiful. Thankful for the beach chairs and umbrella to use at the beach as well. Laundry room and pool was a plus too. All in all, we're already talking about coming back. Our honeymoon week was full of blessings.

Not what we expected
Although the interior of the property was cute, clean and comfortable, the exterior and location left much to be desired. Compared with the surrounding area, this location was extremely run-down and in much need of TLC. We were a bit shocked and uncertain as we pulled into the parking lot, as the buildings all around Sandollar I are well-kept and lovely. The pool is approximately the size of what you would put in your backyard, with very limited seating available. Other guests were sitting by the pool (so no chairs available when we arrived), and it was like being at an intimate pool party where you don't know anyone. Very awkward. The gate to the dock was locked with a 'Private Property Do Not Enter' sign, so there was no walking or fishing from the dock. The back patio of the unit is a tight area staring at a large wooden privacy fence, so not super pleasant to sit out there and relax, either. The walls of the property are thin, as well, resulting in being woken several times by voices, doors slamming, a tv left on, etc.... The distance to the beach was further than anticipated, making it impossible to walk down while carrying all the necessities of a day on the beach. Luckily, there is a parking lot close by with public access, so it wasn't too inconvenient to load up the car and drive down. I must add that the owner was very pleasant and responded quickly to any questions we had. We had very high hopes for our special weekend, but unfortunately, were quite disappointed.
The property was very clean but kinda of small feeling since the ceilings are low. We appreciate the water/snacks left from the host. The bed is firm which was fine for us. I would suggest adding another light somehow near the shower, it’s alil on the darker side but do-able. My only complaint is the fridge/freezer, both parts are clean but held a fishy odor that may needs to be looked into. The outside of the complex is outdated compared to the neighboring condos. The pool was very clean and clear!
Condo was clean, very well stocked and nicely decorated. The bed was super comfy. Loved fishing at the lighted pier at night. Close to the beach. The pool felt really good after a day at the beach. Nice area. We felt very safe. All in all, it was a perfect sister trip!
The condo was very clean and furnished nicely. The pool area and doc were also well-maintained. I enjoyed my stay and will return.

The unit was clean and attractive. There is no laundry facility, but there is a laundromat close by. The bed desperately needs a new mattress. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Cute and convenient place to stay. I enjoyed walking to the beach everyday and hanging out on the fishing dock. Location was peaceful and the condo was a adorable and very clean. Bed was super comfy. Can't wait to stay there again!
The property is as advertised: fine for 2 people, clean, comfortable bed, main floor, AC works (which matters in this location in July), wifi is OK, nothing particularly fancy, which is meant as praise as that's what I was looking for. It's 1/2 mile walk from the main beach and 10 miles from the entrance to the National Seashore in the midst of a lot of condos and a couple of hotels.
My only issue with the place was the over the top security deposit: $1700 is high for a place that rents for ~100 a night for a 4 night stay. I've rented several VRBOs/Air BnBs/etc. in the US and abroad and even entire houses have never had to pay anything even close to this. Yes it's the high season, but it's still excessive. The entire deposit was returned on my credit card a week after I left.
The location was the best. The fishing pier is lit for night and early morning fishing. However I would recomend bringing a lantern. The beach was very close. Great places to eat close by. The room was nice and the snacks were unexpected but very welcome. The bed was very soft. The decorations were adorable. The air condition was good and cold. I definitely would stay here again.
Loved staying at this place. Clean and perfect location to North Padre Island as well as Corpus or a run to Port A. Even though it was located close to everything, located on a quite street. We had everything we needed for a short weekend get away. Would stay here again. Tracie sent the information several days before our stay.
For the price it would be very difficult to find a better place to stay. Everyone I came in contact with from the property manager, the grounds crew and the Other guests/residents we’re friendly kind and helpful. The unit was very clean. One evening we caught two speckled trout from property pier.

Close to beach access, property does have a pool on site, room was clean and pleasing.
We experienced a power outage on two days to include one night and chose to get another hotel for the night. The bed is uncomfortable and saggy in the middle. We will not be staying at this property again.
Very quite, comfortable, and enjoyed our stay! Fished off of pier, not much luck, but fun! Tracie is a great host, and even added her own touch with having snacks and water for us! Will definitely stay here again!!!
The Condo was adorable and had such easy access to the beach nearby! The location is right on mustang island, and near a really nice restaurant where we had lunch overlooking the water! So cute and the perfect place for two people. The owner was extremely prompt at communicating and very helpful with recommendations! Would come back!

About the host
Hosted by Tracie Romel
I live and work as a Realtor in Corpus Christi Texas, my brother Jerriel lives and works in Pennsylvania since 2010. We both have had the opportunity to travel extensively but both agree that there's no place we would rather be!
Why they chose this property
Corpus Christi has been mine and my brother's home ever since we were kids. As children our fondest memories were of our fishing trips to North Padre Island and playing on the beach. We decided to purchase this little Island get away so that when Jerriel and his wife come down to visit they will be able to defrost and relax in the sun.
What makes this property unique
Weather you are planning a romantic get away or a fishing trip with your buds you will enjoy the great location and the relaxing atmosphere.
