Relaxing getaway

Very nice and spacious apartment, great view to the ocean. Very clean surroundings of property and friendly property managers.One suggestion: the coffee maker does not shut off automatically, could become a hazard if left unattended. Will plan to come back!

Super Costal Condo

Terrific condo! Beautifully decorated, clean, and roomie! Gorgeous view from the patio, just the right height to get a full view of the beach. Our two-year-old grandson loved the playground that is on the property. Great hot tub, regular pool, and kitty pool! Will definitely stay again!

Walls of Windows

This is our third stay with Ocean Vista/Blue Ocean Vacation. "Wall of Windows" is an open concept kitchen, dining and living space showcasing a view of the Gulf of Mexico and the sunrises are the jewel of Ocean Vista Condos. "Wall of Windows" kitchen is well stocked for preparing family dinners, plenty of seating for dining and family entertainment. Bedrooms are large and comfortable, three full baths means there's never a wait for showers after beach or pool time, washer and dryer are a bonus. We enjoyed the oversized, spacious patio/balcony but mostly my 11 month old granddaughter with plenty of area to roam in her walker. Absolutely cant't wait to get back to Ocean Vista Condos nxt summer : )

Wonderful place

This property is in a great location. It was close to multiple bar and grills that are only a short walk away. The property was well maintained. It is nice that is right on the beach so can enjoy either the ocean or the pool which is just steps away. The unit provides everything you need. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and having a refrigerator that had an ice maker was underrated so I didn’t have to go buy bags of ice all the time. The views from the living space and balcony was impressive. Washer and dryer in the unit was also a great perk. Overall a very nice place. You seriously only need to bring your clothes and cash. Everything else is ready for you. Great job Rosa for making it easy on your guests

The property was exactly as advertised. Excellent location right on the beach. Condo was clean and beds were comfortable. Owners were quick to respond when we couldn't get into the condo which was due to my error in not reading the instructions carefully. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing Condo

As we walked in the door, the view through the wall of windows took our breath away. The next thing that caught our attention was how spotlessly clean it was. The place is beautifully furnished with comfy beds and seating. The kitchen is well stocked and chairs, towels and umbrellas for the beach are provided. My friends and I were very happy and satisfied with our relaxing stay at this amazing property. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation 2023

I booked this condo for our family vacation. We used to be from the valley and it was the perfect location for family and friends to come visit my wheelchair bound mother. Everything was great until one of the bathrooms had a leak from the ceiling. Things happen, but I wish I had gotten some kind of refund for the lack of use of that bathroom and the inconvenience of having people in and out of the condo while on vacation.

Best place to stay on the island

We have been coming to South Padre Island for years and love to spend many weekends during the summer out at the beach. We have stayed in many other places until we found this condo. It is now the only place we stay! It is wonderful. Spacious condo for our family. Clean, well decorated, and stocked with everything you need. The view of the ocean is breathtaking. We love our time here.

This is the condo!!

Love everything about the condo. The view is amazing (corner condo). Property has pools, hot tub, and playground. Not overcrowded. Perfect place to see everything. We could watch our teens (13 & 14 yrs) in the pool, hot tub, and on the beach from our balcony or from inside the condo. The condo has everything you need to cook. It had beach toys, beach towels and chairs. We took our own beach tent, but they did have some beach umbrellas we didn’t use. We were able to wash and dry our clothes and towels, which was a lifesaver. The only thing I wish it had was a handheld vacuum. It did have a broom and dust pan and a large vacuum, but a handheld would have been more convenient and used quite a bit. They also have a box fan!! We brought our own (it’s the only in way we can sleep), but had we known we wouldn’t have. Never had to wait long for the elevator. Owners checked in with us by text and email to make sure we had everything we needed. We only had four people this trip, but it sleeps 8 comfortably. Plenty of pillows and blankets. A/C was cool the whole time. Restaurants and stores close by. We really enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Blue Ocean Vacation Rentals, LLC

Host profile image
We are retired teachers from Harlingen ,TX , in the beautiful Rio Grande Valley. We’ve lived here for over 20 yrs., and visit South Padre Island often. We’ve hoped to have our own vacation home here at SPI, and we are happy to say we have our wonderful “home away from home”, that we’d like to share with you, here at the Ocean Vista Towers!!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Vista Towers is a wonderfully landscaped and maintained condominium complex, which is next to the soft sandy beach. It’s just a few steps away from our 3rd story condo. We have a fantastic eye-level view of the blue Gulf of Mexico through the wrap-around picture windows, or out on our oversized patio. We enjoy sitting on the patio watching the water and waves roll in. Strolling along the beach, finding shells, watching the occasional dolphins swim by. There’s deep-sea and bay fishing and numerous other water activities. Of course, there’s nothing that compares to the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the gulf and bay! No matter which season it is, there’s always something to do here. We love the slower pace of the SPI lifestyle, and we’d welcome you to come and relax and enjoy our condo in this tropical vacation spot!

What makes this property unique

This condo has been beautifully renovated. There is a large living area, connected to a fully- equipped kitchen. A round dining table seats 6, and there are 4 counter stools. There are three roomy bedrooms, which sleep 8. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with a bathroom en suite. The second bedroom has 2 double/full beds with a bathroom en suite. The third bedroom has another king bed, with the 3rd bathroom serving as the guest bath. All baths have tiled showers and hair dryers. The laundry room has a full-sized Maytag stacked washer and dryer. There is a TV in every bedroom and the living room. There is cable TV, free wi-fi, and internet. The convenience of our condo complex is it’s in a great location: just walking distance to a grocery store, several restaurants, gas stations, beach shops, and water sports. Another convenience is the free city bus “The Wave”, which runs on a great schedule for those without a vehicle and goes as far as Port Isabel. This condo is recommended for families with children of all ages, adult couples’ retreats, romantic getaways, ladies and gentlemen getaways, adventure seekers, sightseers, birdwatchers, fishing galore, tourists without a vehicle, and any sun, sand, and beach lovers!

The city of South Padre Island has many activities for all age groups. We wanted to be a part of this wonderful vacation spot where there’s deep sea and bay fishing, dolphin watch tours, and many other water activities. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants to choose from and nothing compares to the seafood of the Gulf of Mexico! Watching the amazing sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre Bay are a special treat! There’s always something to do here, no matter what time of the year. We hope you’ll come choose to stay in our relaxing “Little piece of South Padre Island”, down in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas!
