Nice condo
This was a nice condo for our 5 day stay. It had everything we needed to cook our meal when we wanted to stay in. Great ocean views! We’ve stayed in other several other condos at this resort and would definitely recommended updating to stay competitive with them. Otherwise, everything was perfect. Thanks for the stay.

This place is terrible, I cannot believe I got this off a Vrbo listing.
We showed up at around 730 or so and pulled up to villa del sol complex, the building literally is falling down, we didn’t really want to even get out of the car but we had been on the road 8 hrs and had booked this through Vrbo how bad could it be. Upon entry we are met with a friendly guy make small talk and check in. Pull around, the elevator is broke which was in description, but the stairs were rotting through rusty, tetanus waiting to happen. We open the door immediately hit in face with cleaning smell takes your breath away, burns your eyes The hallway and living room floors are wavy, spongy walking around, fans were broke, bath vent had no cover or anything on it, the ac was drained into the shower, the pvc just poked through the Sheetrock There is mold around the ac ducts, in the hallway, eyes still burning. The balcony was quite shaky when I went out on it. The lights on part of the outside were blinking off and on like a horror movie. When we went to the beach the bottom floor smelt like strong human fecal matter. The pictures of the unit had to be from when they first built it. We have used Vrbo before and have had no issues, but if this is the kinda property’s Vrbo is gonna represent I don’t think I will be using them anymore. If I could tell anyone in the Vrbo company that could do it. I would tell them not to represent any units in the villa del sol surfside complex. You are gonna have lots of angry customers, and it doesn’t look good on you. Thank you Daniel and Christy Wagoner

Deceptive description
Described as "oceanfront " and "gulf views" although it it on the far north side of the bay, 30 minutes from the gulf. It does say what restaurants are close to it, but I didn't know those places and didn't Google them to see where they were. Apartment is a bit rundown. There was an additional fee at check-in I was unaware of.

Beachfront Condo on North Beach Corpus Christi
Starting with the good, check in was easy, the place was clean and they seem to be updating the inside. The VIEW! It was a great view. We had everything we needed for our 3 night stay, which was a nice surprise. Towels were new and fluffy, coffee pot and filters and hand soap at both sinks. The not so good, the baloney is rotting, floor was spongy and when we looked, the floor is cracking in many places and the ceiling of the balcony is falling down. The floor is the unit has the same issues in the livingroom/kitchen area. The front door lock didn’t have instructions, thought it would be like a hotel room door that when it closes it locks….not the case, you have to hit the lock button. Have no idea if the unit was ever locked when we were in it. The building itself is in need of repairs. They were painting, but it definitely needs more than a coat of paint. The general area of North Beach is pretty run down. We really didn’t spend much time here at all, went and explored other areas. All in all, we had a clean condo with everything we needed. So depending on what you are looking to do, the condo was a great deal and I can tell the owners are slowly trying to fix up what they can control. We felt safe, the air conditioning worked great as well as the hot water. Furnishing were nice and cable and wifi worked.

Great views! A work In progress... constant improvements being made! Quick & responsive owners.
Pros: Close to the beach, nice view, the whole area is well lit and we always felt safe. Close to attractions, but we ended up driving b/c there wasn't a great route to just walk without getting sand all in your shoes. We LOVED the Texas State Aquarium! We really enjoyed the USS Lexington Battle ship (be prepared to be exhausted after climbing all of the steps), & our favorite restaurant was Pier 99. Very windy seating area, may have to wait a while for food, but it was so good that we went twice while we were there! All 3 of us really enjoyed our food. Prices a bit high, but that was to be expected. A few things that can be used at the beach were provided, a beach chair, a couple of boogie/body boards (great fun the last day), a brand new collapsable wagon (we didn't end up using, but perfect if you have littles). Good size fridge & kitchen basics. Careful not to assume that everything you need will be there. My husband had to make tea in the blender "pitcher" b/c there were no plastic pitchers for beverages. Cons: The building is definitely older as other reviews have mentioned. There was also some random work being done during "quiet hours," but was usually short lived. There was some noise in the hallways which is noticeable as the bedroom is right next to the hallway & not too far from the stairwell, but was usually short lived and didn't "keep us up through the night." It is a very compact space, so beware if traveling with older kids. We ended up just having my husband and myself and our 12 year old, but it would have been a challenge had there been more people. But, we are used to having plenty of space in our home, so that's probably just a personal preference. The bed is NOT a KING as someone in a previous review stated, & one of the main reasons I chose this location. To be fair the listing does say Queen, but I was hopeful! :) The bed itself was SUPER comfortable, but the top sheet kept sliding around & bunching up and drove me crazy b/c of the mattress cover. That's my issue, but made it hard to sleep. The last night I tried to sleep on the bottom bunk. It was like sleeping on a concrete block. The bunkbeds are NOT made for older teens or adults. It made my whole body hurt. It would be perfect for a small child that doesn't know what a comfortable bed feels like and doesn't have an old achy body! Very quick reply from owners as any issues/questions arose. Nice place if on a budget & love a view!

Spring Break
The good: This property was clean and comfortable. It was on the 3rd floor and the balcony was truly private. We kept the doors open even at night to hear the sound of the waves. There were NO BUGS! A previous review said something about cocaroachs but there were none. Conveniently located on North Beach we walked to the USS Lexington and a very short drive to downtown. Minor: Beach access gate did not lock on the first night. They fixed that making it more secure. Very small bedroom. King Size bed was nice and comfortable ( nicer than the picture) but the room is so small be prepared to climb into the bed from the end if someone is already asleep because one person is against the wall. Soft spot on the balcony- I know the sea air is hard on yhe wood but please check this. Couch mattress was horribly stained may need to be replaced Window in bedroom is in the hallway for the units. There is a light on all the time and the blinds do not block this out. Would benefit from room darkening curtain although this will do nothing for the echoing of people walking by at night talking The Bad: This would have recieved 5/5 but some things were out of the owners control. Quiet hours were supposed to be from 10 pm to 10 am but 1 unit over and 1 up was renovating and the contractors stayed much later than 10 (one night I finally fell asleep at 1 am and they were still pounding) and another night they were finishing up at about 11:30. The only other negative was that they were dredging the bay to make it deeper (we learned this on the tour we went on) and that went on all night. It was far enough out that it was more of a nuisance because it ruined the sounds of the bay especially at night. All in all. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity. We had a blast for our first time in Corpus Christi!!!

The unit was great and had an amazing view!! The building needs lots of work. I was so thankful the elevator was working when we visited!

Beautiful beach front view. The condo is extremely clean and well organized. It is smaller than we thought. It didn't matter to us because there was only two. The living room is very small as is the kitchen but it's functional if you're not doing a lot of cooking. Super convenient. A lot of care has been put in to making the condo comfortable.

Uncomfortable Beds
All the beds are uncomfortable, even the couch is uncomfortable to sleep on. The TV/cable box in the bedroom did not work, texted the POC on our reservation and they could not get spectrum to come and fix it. The sliding door to the balcony does not lock or close all the way, we had to close the court sins all the way the whole time we were there. Which was ridiculous since we booked it because if the view. Unfortunately the weekend we booked with unseasonably cold, it got as low as 27 degrees. We still made the best if it, my husband and I went and got food and gathered our own covers and put them on the floor in front of the living room TV and binge watch movies
