The Seahorse Condo On the Gulf

Simply spectacular!

Great Place! Been to the area before, but now my wife wants to retire here after staying at Mark's place.

Property is as advertised: everything you need for your vacation. We would go back to this property.

The view as soon as you walk in was breathtaking. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Mark!!!

The owner was there to greet us and show the condo. He left snacks and water in the fridge. We had a great time . Thank you for all the hospitality.

Wonderful stay at the beach. Thank you for all the hospitality!

Very clean, and a great view of the water. Clean grounds, and well maintained. Friendly staff, and the view of the gulf was outstanding. Short walk to beach, and plenty of boardwalk if you don’t want to get in the sand. Overall, great experience!
Stayed 2 nights in May 2023

We loved our stay. The Seahorse Condo is beautiful. All amenities as listed. Our property manager went over and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. My favorite thing every day was watching the sunrise over the ocean. It was a perfect location. We will be back!
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023

This was by far the best place we have ever stayed at in the gulf. We travel to the beach numerous times a year and everything was perfect! Professionally cleaned like nothing I’ve ever seen!
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023

Incredibly peaceful place and spectacular view! The condo was well furnished and beautiful inside. Comfortable beds and every amenities we needed. The pool/hot tub were so clean and enjoyable!!! Mark was extremely responsive and helpful.

Great location with amazing ocean view.

The room is exactly as it was advertised. The view from the living space and master bedroom are amazing. The best part was it is right on the beach. Will rent again on our next visit down there.

This is a great property, you won’t be disappointed!

We loved our stay here! The corner condo with wrap around windows was perfect to enjoy the beach from the inside or outside. The host was super. Condo was equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. We needed more towels and the host delivered a large stack for the rest of our stay. Perfect for kids, too, with the beach and heated pool just steps away.

The place was amazing! You could not get a better location than that. We were literally on the beach. The view was breathtaking. Mark was a great host, very welcoming! We look forward to returning soon.

Mark’s place was amazing! It is a GREAT location. We loved being able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the wonderful sound of the ocean waves. We were able to leave and get right on the beach and relax or go for a walk. We hope to be able to visit again! Thank you for having such a wonderful and comfortable place!

Condo was great -- Beach was Great overall visit was great

precioso departamento, muy bien equipado, la vista hermosa

The view of the Gulf of Mexico was breathtaking from almost every place in the condo!!! We especially liked the moving wall closing off the master bedroom. What a clever idea that is!! With the wall pushed back during the daytime, we doubled the expanse of the floor-to-wall window view of the beach and water! We also loved the long deck & the up-to-date kitchen with its granite counter tops and stainless appliances. The fridge even had a water and ice dispenser (most condos don't)! My husband, daughter, and son-in-law enjoyed the beautiful condo as much as I did! We'll definitely be back!!!! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous location on the beach. You will want to be sure to watch the beautiful sunrises during your stay. The view is spectacular! We loved being beachfront in this fabulous condo! Mark is a great communicator and very responsive. Great experience!

The condo is very well kept. Beds are comfortable, plenty of towels, high speed wifi, and the view is to die for. We definitely come back

Relaxing time, enjoyed the peace and quiet
Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022

We had a great time! It was beautiful!

The location was perfect! We had a great time enjoying the view where we could see the sunset from the side balcony and then the sun and moon rise from the front balcony. Mark is an exceptional host and I would love to come back and stay here. Thanks for everything Mark!

We had an incredible stay at the Seahorse! The views were amazing, the unit was super clean, and the host was extremely accommodating! Highly recommend!
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022

Very clean. Appreciated the complementary pastries, oatmeal, juice boxes, and water. We had children and grandchildren that stayed in a nearby condo.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Mark was super easy to communicate with. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the view or just looking out the windows at the ocean view. I love how convenient it is to get to the beach. Beds were comfortable, house was perfectly clean and they even left us some snacks. I would definitely recommend staying here!
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022

Our stay was short but it was a great stay. Awesome location for my family right next to the beach!!! We will be visiting again soon!!!

There’s a reason this place has great reviews!
The condo is amazing- gorgeous beach views and super close/easy beach access.
Don’t let the exterior of the complex deter you upon arrival (we almost did). The management of the entire complex could do with some repairs and fresh paint- but that does NOT impact your stay in this gorgeous well appointed unit.
The unit also has everything you need and then some.

Lastly Mark is awesome with his communication and help. He arranged a massage therapist to contact us and we had an incredible massage in the unit- highly recommend!

You won’t regret your stay here and will definitely want to come back!

Wonderful corner condo with gorgeous gulf views. Secure complex and easy access to beach. Close to restaurants, grocery and retail. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience. Communication was great. We were greeted with some chocolates and light snacks and when I walked into the living area was surrounded by floor to ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the beach. Highly recommend.

Great place on the beach

It was a wonderful and relaxing stay, with prime access to the beach and the condo was perfect.

Another great stay at this stunning property! 5 star views of an amazing beach. Would highly recommend.

Excellent!

Great condo with a million dollar view. Everything we needed and more. Thank you

The condo is better than advertised. Mark is an amazing host!

Mark was a perfect host and reached out to us for any questions we may have had. You can tell he has pride in his properties and manages them extremely well.

Balcony off the beach. Definitely something I didn’t know I needed to experience.

Great location and wonderful condo. Can't beat those sunrises and camp fires on the beach! Mark was a great host!
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022

Fantastic condo with the most wonderful view of the sunrise and also the moon coming up at night. My kids loved every minute of the our time there with easy access to the pool and beach! Supplied adequate kitchen supplies and linens! Overall a great place to stay!

We can't say enough about the views. We have a 7 and 9 year old and they loved all the windows and waking up to the waves. We even got an 85 degree day in February and made sand castles with the sand toys Mark had. He was communicative and the check in process even at 4am was easy!
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022

Very nice place, great view. Would recommend to friends as a place to stay

Was clean, peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely stay again.

We booked the place as a last-minute trip. The condo is exactly as described and the quality of the place is very nice. It is clean, the view is fantastic, the location can't get any better. Mark is very considerate to provide all the information and even gave me a call before our trip to make sure we are well prepared. I highly recommend the place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The residence was very clean, nice and the view was beyond spectacular if you like sunrises and moonrises! Mark texted and also called us with information to assist us in our stay!The check-in was very easy and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! The place was very homey and comfortable and I would highly recommend this property!!!

Best location at Gulfstream! Clean, perfectly furnished and beautiful view!

Excellent view, well equipped kitchen, will maintained and good value for money. Mark was very responsive and a great host.

What a great host and amazing place... We will definitely 100% call him next visit to the area...highly recommend

Beautiful condo with a spectacular view of the water. Beach access just down the stairs. Mark is very good at communicating and helped us out with anything we needed. Lots of amenities within 5 minute car ride, restaurants, grocery, bars, gas ect. We would definitely stay here again!

The overall property is dated looking but kept very clean. The condo unit itself was updated and very nice and clean. The sunrises were beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the property. From the accommodations to the location.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021

Amazing!!!

What you see is what you get. Truly enjoyed our stay and views. We had no issues and staff and complex is friendly and helpful too.

My husband and I spent a long, lazy relaxing weekend at this amazing condo! The hosts have thought of everything. We watched the sun and moon rise each morning and night from either our bed or the balcony. The short walk to the beach was wonderful! The property was great. Pool and hot tub were super clean. The property workers were so happy and kind. We will definitely be back!!!!
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021

Wonderful!!! Beautiful condo. Mark was so helpful. We booked super last minute and Mark was so very accommodating. Thank you!! Can’t wait to return. 🙂

Everything about this place was beyond perfect.
We will definitely return.

The property is well maintained. I got a call from Mark by 2 pm that the house was cleaned up and ready for early check-in if I wanted. There were utensils and basic spices for cooking, sand toys for kids, beach chairs and umbrella to use at the beach. The view from the rooms is excellent. The patio is long with about 6 chairs to sit and enjoy the breeze. Overall I liked the property and would definitely come back for another stay.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021

Great spot and awesome view!!! No issues with check in-all very easy. Mark was always available-ONLY one thing I wished I would have paid attention was when booking-there is master bedroom and sliding doors to the living space (ALL IN ONE LARGE ROOM) View of the Gulf was great from Master bedroom BUT no 4 walls was a tad of a bummer but def not a deal breaker!!

One more thing-super bright in master bedroom-bring an eye mask, it helped but husband wasnt too happy.

Very nice from the inside out! Clean, close to the beach - outstanding deck overlooking the ocean was our favorite part.

This was a fabulous place to stay! Beautiful views and a relaxing setting. Great owners that were easy to communicate with. Highly recommended.

We had an awesome weekend thank you.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021

Great location right on the beach, with full view of ocean and sunrise right from your bed! Very clean and very easy checkin and checkout. Very family friendly and we can’t wait to come back!

You won't be disappointed here!! Absolutely love the condo and the views.

Very nice and clean place, will definitely book again. Great view of the beach! Mark is an excellent host and will answer any questions you may have.

Best Airbnb on the island! A++ experience and we will be back asap! The views are amazing and perfect location. The space is comfortable, super clean and easy for a group or family. Communication with host was quick and easy, honestly cant say enough about how great this experience was.

Loved the location and the view of the ocean is impeccable. The facade of the building is dated, but this unit is nice, and the view is worth a million bucks.

We had a great stay at the Seahorse Condo. The view is stunning! We enjoyed our early morning coffee listening to the sound of the waves! I would definitely stay again in the future! Mark was a great host!
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021

Best unit in the best location!!!
Clean, tasteful decor with true ocean front views and amenities!

This VRBO way by far the best we’ve stayed at, ever. The condo was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was completely stocked with every appliance we needed and a few we never used. Unfortunately we didn’t get much beach time due to weather but chairs and umbrella were stashed in the closet. The towels from the pool was a great bonus along with a few pool floats that were for community use. The balcony chairs were comfortable. The beds were clean and comfortable. It was a quiet area while we visited. The water pressure in the showers was very strong and the bathrooms were well stocked. A first aid kit provided a much needed Band-Aid for a little one when mom ran out. The hot tub is adults only which was a big disappointment for my older kids. The owner checked in with us prior to arrival. The listing is very accurate and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this rental again should we visit Padre Island in the future.
Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021

We really enjoyed this condo! Comfortable, clean, great view, great hot tub and pool! Will definitely stay again.

From start to finish Mark was super helpful and communicative. He made every effort to make our stay as awesome as possible. The location and views are over the top amazing. Being able to drive onto the beach and see the ocean from bed and the couch, was dreamy!! I would love to come back for at least a week!❤️

It was so beautiful, nice clean and so relaxing the owner called and communicated with us on numerous occasions. He was so nice and helpful the property was amazing I will definitely book with him again!

The wrap around floor to ceiling windows and balcony allowed us to enjoy the beach experience even though the cooler, wetter weather kept us inside

We had such a great time. It’s conveniently located to so much. You can’t beat the view and convenience to the ocean. The pool is heated and very nice. The condo is clean, stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and they have chairs to take to the beach. Beds are comfortable and so is the furniture. It’s a wonderful place and we would love to go back!

Fantastic, amazing views, peaceful atmosphere and first class decor!
This is the best of the best!

Stunning views, immaculate property. The owner very attentive and quick to respond. The place is a hidden gem. Steps to the beach. Most amazing sunrises right in front of the wrap around deck/balcony. Beautiful beach. Very clean.
Amenities outside the property, within the complex, were outstanding too. Pool looked beautifully clean and plenty of places to sunbathe and or sit if the tranquil balcony or beach don’t take your fancy. Excellent plac

Gorgeous oceanfront view! Beautiful sun and moon rises. We stayed at Mark’s place during a family weekend getaway in Corpus Christi. The place was really nice, quite, comfortable and well equipped - everything you need to feel at home. Mark was a great and friendly host. He followed up beforehand and answered all my questions as well as texts and calls during our stay.
Mark, thank you for letting us stay at your condominium, we loved it! Am definitely looking forward to booking this place again if not another of your condominiums.

This is an outstanding place. The host is far superior to others who rent in the same building.

This place has unbelievable views and is sparkling clean! We enjoyed sitting in the two easy chairs and simply watching the ocean ...right in front of us !
Everything looked just like the photos online. It’s been an awesome place to rest!
We will be back!
Thanks~
Kirk & Kim

Great Vacation Experience! Beautiful views right in front of the beach! Would love to come back again!

Location location location! This is a wonderful location to get a complete 180 degree view of the beach without any obstruction. Beautiful sun rise and sunset right from the balcony, living room and bed room. We had a great time during our stay here. Would highly recommend!

My BFF and I went here for a girls weekend to relax and recharge. This place was perfect! You can't beat the view and the balcony is perfectly outfitted to spend hours just enjoying the ocean view. The interior is comfortable and clean. It feels like a friend's condo that you are staying at for the weekend.
Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020

This condo is even better looking in person, and there are not enough stars for the hospitality Mark offers! It is truly the perfect place to unwind: start the day with a gorgeous sunrise, lallygag all day with your toes in the sand, spend the evening star gazing from the oversized deck before retiring to your comfy bed. Truly blissful!
The kitchen was equipped with basic tools needed to make a few meals. Great water pressure and hot water in both showers. Super clean throughout with extras like luggage carts, folding chairs and a blender.
I treated my parents to a weekend at the beach, and Mark’s place was beyond perfect. We were very sad to leave and can’t wait to get back!

My husband & I Brought my 95 & 83 year old parents for a weekend trip to the beach. They really enjoyed watching the waves and all the action going on at tree beach! The view was perfect and the beds were awesome!

Mark is a terrific host and made our stay very easy and worry free. Condo is just like pictures show - right on the beach and because it’s on the corner, you have great views. We would stay there again.

We had such a wonderful time! You really can’t beat being right on the beach and the corner balcony gave us so much space. The chairs are really comfy too. Mark is a wonderful host—great communication and kind. Couldn’t ask for more and we were sad to leave. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay! Mark was fantastic with answering any questions I had with a quick response. Very Clean!

Had a great time. The view was absolutely perfect.

Comfortable, bright, lovely scenes out the beautiful windows. Safe serene place for family. Clean and so relaxing with lots of space to stretch out. Just a walk out onto the welcoming deck to smell the clean air. Then a few more steps onto the warm sand. Children asking when can we go back to the awesome condo. Soon please!

Perfect place, great experience, our family loved staying here. We were able to enjoy the beach safely inside or on the wrap around lanai and swim outside on the beach socially distanced. Their condo was clean, well equipped, and comfortable for everyone. Mark, the owner was accommodating & responsive. Thank you, Mark & Tatyana for your hospitality & sharing your place for us to enjoy!

Mark's place is amazing ! You will not be disappointed. The beach is right in front of you with gorgeous views. Seeing the sunrise through the windows was heavenly. Highly recommend it.

We had a great time. The condo was awesome, the view was amazing. The beach gets a little crowded so set up your spot early but everyone on the beach was respectful of space. Loved our stay.

We have consistently stayed in Port Aransas for the last 15+ years. We wanted a change and were fortunate to find this beachfront property with amazing views from the condo. Its a unique set up with the front bedroom having sliding shutter doors that open up so that you have a much more expansive view of the beach for everyone who stays there. What we also liked was the corner unit has a portion of the balcony for our ice chests that were out of the way of the chairs on the front end of the balcony. The home was very clean and offered great accommodations for 4 adults. It was so convenient to the beach and you could come and go as much as you desired from the beach. The owner maintains great contact with you throughout your stay if you need anything. We will definitely think of staying here again! Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020

My family of 5 enjoyed ourselves so much at Mark’s condo. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the condo is clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated! It is literally on the beach sea wall so you can just walk into the sand. The condo was equipped with dishes, linens, and all appliances were working. Bonus features included a smart TV and Google home speaker. The air conditioner worked great and we absolutely loved the high pressure shower (especially after a day at the beach with sand all over us). The common area has a heated pool, hot tub, bbq pits, and picnic tables. I read that Whitecap beach is one of the nicest beaches in the area and we have to agree! Super soft clean sand and the water was much clearer than the other beaches we visited in the area (not our first time to the area). This is our first outing in over 2 and a half months due to COVID 19 and it was easy to social distance at the condo and on the beach. We loved our time here and can not wait to return. The icing on this cake is Mark is an outstanding host! This is my 6th time using Airbnb and I was really impressed with his response time and hospitality. We will be recommending this location!

We visited this condo for a short 3 night stay. The view was amazing. We loved the rail height chairs on the balcony, plenty of seating for everyone. The decor is light and nicely done to give you the tropic feel without being over the top. I loved waking up and being able to see the ocean from the master bed, which was very comfy. The second bedroom was also comfortable for the kids. The kitchen was well supplied. The owner was very pleasant, easy to work with and responsive. Overall a wonderful stay for our first time at a Texas beach! Thank you Mark!

Exceeded expectations. This corner unit has amazing views and is steps from the water. Our condo was clean, comfortable, well-stocked, modern, and spacious. The owners are very friendly and care about their guests' experience.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2020

From ease and flexibility of check-in to check out, we had a terrific experience with this property and felt safe at all times. The owner was super responsive to our questions, and helpful with online suggestions and links, and ready to assist with anything that might come up. The view was beyond expectations, as it felt like we were at the beach, even while inside. The balcony was shaded during the hottest times of the day, allowing us to enjoy it a lot of the time, especially during the distancing of Covid19. The beds were comfy, bathrooms had great water pressure, with many extras in the closets and with Google operated devices adding that touch of whimsy. The complex pool/hot tub was also very nice to take advantage of. We had a great time! Stayed 10 nights in May 2020

Absolutely beautiful! The view is like no other! Mark was very quick to answer any questions I had! The condo is beautiful and very clean! I would 1000% recommend to anyone!

Large waterfront condo with huge balcony that overlooks the ocean. One of the closest places you can get on the beach. Host is very responsive and went above and beyond for our stay

This place was fabulous. First of all it was very clean and updated. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the tv and lights were linked to Google so you could use voice commands. There was an excellent website with all the the information needed about check-in and check-out and suggestions for local activities and places to eat. But most of all was the breath taking view of the water. From the wrap around deck you can watch the waves and the sunrise. And you're just a few steps to the beach. If you have a chance I would highly recommend this place and we plan to come back in the future.

The beach and view is phenomenal . The unit was great with all the things y need. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice pool and hot tub. We managed to have a great time despite cooler temperatures.

This place is perfect, the views are amazing doesn't get any better. Great communication very fast response, very comfortable, so comfortable we stayed an extra couple of days.

Very comfortable and relaxed stay

Amazing view to wake up floating above the beach!

This condo is beautiful. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. The location is directly on the beach so you have beautiful views. It is also equipped with a google home and google nest thermostat. It was a little chilly the day I arrived and the owner was able to turn the heater on for me remotely. The condo is clean, neat, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything you need. The two king size beds in the two bedrooms are very comfortable and two full-size bathrooms are very nice. You also have a smart tv with a sound bar but who’s going to watch tv when you have floor to ceiling windows with direct views to the beach. One of the bedrooms had the full on ocean views and was gorgeous to wake up to with the sunrise. If you don’t want to wake up to the sunrise you can opt for the other bedroom or just simply close the shades. I never had the shades closed the entire visit. I had direct contact with the owner Who was very friendly and assisted with any questions I had. He was extremely helpful and allowed an early check in and late check out because it was available. The condo is on the 4th floor but there is an elevator that makes carrying luggage easier. The pool was heated and was very clean. This condo is located on the very corner so it is quiet and the views are spectacular. I can’t wait to stay here again. Thank you so much Mark!!

This is an amazing place that was nicely clean with a beautiful view. Had a great time and would definitely come back.

The view is absolutely fantastic. It’s also very convenient. The host is a pro.

beautiful condo, beautiful view

Response from Mark:
beautiful beach, beautiful pool, beautiful Gulf, beautiful sunrises, beautiful world, beautiful life, beautiful people, beautiful birds, beautiful seashells, beautiful waves, beautiful breeze, beautiful day, beautiful memories!!!

Great view and beautiful condo!

Response from Mark:
Thanks Shannon for the kind words. Tatyana and I were in San Antonio but I did check out our Live Beach Cam and it really did look fantastic there during your stay.

beautiful condo, beautiful view
Excellent property!! Love the location. I want to own one now!

What a place. Paradise, didn’t want to leave.

Response from Mark:
Maggie was a wonderful guest. I would say a VIP. Please come again and visit any of our four Island homes.

Awesome views of the beach and sunrise.

Response from Mark:
Tatyana and I were thrilled to have had Ray as our guest! Quite often, at our three Beachfront Island Vacation Homes there, you can also catch beautiful moon rises over the ocean that will blow you away.

WOW...WOW...WOW! If I could give this Condo more then 5 stars I would. It is right on the beach and the condo is super clean, window views everywhere and full open concept with a giant wrap around patio. We expected this place to be good when booking but it just exceeded our expectations! Mark is one of the quickest responders I’ve had when using a vacation rental and his website guide for touring around the city is worth following because we tried out most the restaurants and locations and were thrilled every time! My husband and I explored many of the beaches around, Mustang beach, port Aransas, padre, and his condo is right on Whitecap beach!!! Which was our favorite beach! It’s the most fun and if you walk to the pier on the left there are TONS of sea turtles and fishing. If you go to the pier on the right there is an awesome bar on the pier with food. His condo is setup for having a night in cooking and we did that twice because you can’t find a restaurant with a better view of the moon over the ocean and breakfast with the sunrise is absolutely breath taking! The beds are also very comfy! We have decided to make this our yearly anniversary spot and hope to always be at this condo and my girlfriends and I are already in talks of a girls trip after all my photos they saw. Truly a wonderful place for a getaway vacation!!!

Response from Mark:
Thanks Allie! Please let your friends know that we have three Beachfront Vacation Homes at the same wonderful location here on North Padre Island. We call them THE PELICAN, THE SEAHORSE (the one you stayed in) and THE FIFTH FLOOR FLAMINGO (also a corner unit just above the Seahorse).

This was a beautiful place. The view was amazing. We had a wonderful stay!

Response from Mark:
Thank you Victor for your kind words. Please remember that we have a total of four Island Vacation Homes. So if your future dates are already booked, please try one of our other homes. Please take the time to check them all out.

If the reason you want to stay here is for the beachfront, then you will not be disappointed. A beautiful view of the Gulf and you can sit out on the balcony and enjoy the sounds of the waves. Very peaceful and calming. In the morning watch the sunrise from your bed or from the balcony. It is truly a great location and the beach is literally just steps away. Even though the building is an older unit the inside of the condo has been completely updated including tile, furniture and stainless steel appliances. Both king beds are very comfortable and I will have to admit that I took a shower twice the morning of our departure because I have never showered with so much water pressure, it was awesome. The condo is decorated very nicely and I could not see anything in that condo that needed to be touched up or repaired. You cant say that very often. Everything is high end and in great shape. Highly recommend this condo.

Response from Mark:
Thanks for the kind words Randy! Yes folks, even with fantastic views, right on the beach, beautiful decor, modern appliances, big screen TV's and much more, you may find yourself taking multiple showers because our showers in all my homes are the best ever. Now that is a true bonus! Tatyana and I go to the extreme to make your vacation the best ever! Please keep in mind, if my Beachfront Island Vacation is already booked for your dates, simply click on my picture of Tatyana and I and then scroll down to see all of our vacation homes that are guaranteed to please. Even great showers that you will want to use twice before you head out the door.

Mark's place is a beautiful apartment with amazing views of the sunrise. Mark was a great host as he was responsive to our questions and even offered us a late check-out as they didn't have any guests after us. Very recommendable, we will come back.

Response from Mark:
Thanks so much Carlos! Please come back soon and try one of our sister units. We have THE PELICAN, THE SEAHORSE, THE FIFTH FLOOR FLAMINGO and our huge home on the Island's canal that we call PARADISE. If your upcoming vacation plan dates are booked, don't fear. Simply view all of our wonder Island Vacation Homes. Everyone kindly comments on how beautiful the Sunrises can be but be sure and look for the MOON RISES as well! Our beach is the best kept secret in TEXAS! Many folks enjoy going to Port A and are simply unaware of how much better our beach here is. Come stay with us and enjoy the best kept secret for yourself. Enjoy our jetty system, our Bob Hall Peer, our mile long boardwalk along the beach, beach camp fires, beach horse back riding, our sea turtles, our sand dollar filled beach, beach volley ball and much more. We even supply beach chairs, umbrella and beach toys. Wow, what more could you possibly ask for? Don't forget we also provide a huge heated swimming pool, hot tub and even a children's pool as well as shuttle board and eight gas grills for your vacation use. You can even have meals delivered by local restaurants and our local HEB grocery store will even deliver right to your door. We also have here on the island a great miniature golf and even a Schlitterbahn Water Park. And don't forget, you can go deep sea fishing just 25 minutes away. Wow! All this and much more. Ya'll come

A great place and sits on the corner of the building. So you are looking at the beach from inside and on the patio. But gives you twice as much patio space as the normal unit.

Great location. Perfect view of the beach. Quiet and relaxing. The condo is well appointed and everything was is good working order. The preprogrammed thermostat is a little aggravating but I understand why they would want it. Overall it was very nice and I would recommend it to anyone.

Relaxing and lovely time!

The condo was beautiful. The pictures of the view do not do it justice. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the patio listening to the waves and watching the sunrise. Mark was an excellent host and communicated with us from the time we booked to the time we checked in. We will be back!

Response from Mark:
Thanks so much! I am happy you enjoyed your stay at THE SEAHORSE. If you enjoyed the Sunrises? Then take 5 minutes out of your day and check out another Sunrise from our FIFTH FLOOR FLAMINGO unit.

Great place right off the beach

Definitely watch the moon rise over the ocean. It was beautiful!!

Had a great time!!!

Loved the cleanliness and convenience of the room! Room was away from any pool or hall noise and just steps from the beach. To top it off the view from the room was spectacular!! Would highly recommend!

Awesome location.

The location was spectacular!

Great location, especially because the unit is in a corner of the building and you can walk to the beach! Mark was quick to respond, attentive to details, and a great host. The amenities in the home are comfortable and functional. We had an excellent stay & will recommend the place to friends.

Response from Mark:
Thanks Alejandra! Please let your friends that we have three Beachfront Vacation Homes at the same wonderful location here on North Padre Island. We call them THE PELICAN, THE SEAHORSE (the one you stayed in) and THE FIFTH FLOOR FLAMINGO (also a corner unit just above the Seahorse)

From day one Mark went out of his way to make my family’s vacation amazing, one night staying up late to find me another unit when the one I wanted was already booked. If you want to stay at super clean place and have the owner respond to you within an hour EVERY-TIME, then this is your place.

My husband and I traveled with our son, his wife and 2 grandchildren ages 6 and 1. I can not express how thrilled we were to find this amazing condo right on the beach! The condo was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, stocked with everything you could possibly need and the view with ceiling to floor windows and a wrap around balcony- simply amazing! We were also thrilled to find boogie boards, a raft, beach chairs and beach toys for the kiddos! We loved the beach!
Although we didn’t get to the pool- it was also very nice and clean.
We would also like to mention how clean the property was and the staff was extremely nice. They always greeted us with a smile and kind words!
And last but not least- we were able to meet the owners- Mark and Tatyana- they were so nice! Thank you both for sharing your condo! We were able to make wonderful memories!
And yes- we are already planning another visit!
Highly recommend this rental property!

Great experience! Look forward to staying here again very soon!!!

What a gorgeous condo! The view was better than expected. Photos can't begin to do it justice. It was clean and very well appointed. Mark was responsive and offered suggestions for dinner that were perfect for us. We enjoyed sitting on the deck whenever we were at the condo. The pool area is very nicely landscaped. The pool and hot tub were clean and inviting.

We had a wonderful time in this condo! Super clean, right On the beach, fully stocked kitchen, great balcony chairs so eye level over the railing, fantastic floor to ceiling windows on 2 sides of the condo so great beach views...already hoping for a fall return visit!

Awsome experience, as advertised beautiful views, great deck to relax on after a day on the beach. Nice condo with everything we needed. 5 star recommendation from us.

The views do not disappoint! We had a wonderful stay in this cute, extremely clean beachfront condo.

Wonderful unit right on the beach. We wanted to include the beach in our Spring Break Texas trip and this unit was perfect for my husband and I and 2 of our sons. The condo itself is older, but the pool and office are well maintained. We arrived mid-week and were able to catch up on laundry and enjoy the beach. We found some real gems (old school beach) restaurants close by and enjoyed a baseball game in Corpus Christi. I would highly recommend this unit.

The views of the Gulf are what this condo is all about. Since it it the corner unit, you have a good panorama, and the wrap-around deck is a great feature. The unit is very comfortable and roomy. The kitchen is large and modern. The complex is a little dated, but is clean and well managed. The owner Mark, was very friendly and pro-active on a problem with the unit before we arrived, working with us to solve it to our satisfaction.We really enjoyed our stay!

Mark's response:
"Thank you for staying with us."

Could’ve stayed forever! Very nice condo with fully equipped kitchen. Floor to ceiling windows allowed us to enjoy the beach & ocean view at all times. Complex was very quiet and well kept. Owner is very kind and helpful. I would love to come back when the weather is warmer.

Mark and Tatyana were fantastic hosts. They made us feel very welcome and were always available. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and the staff at the condo were also extremely pleasant.
The property was a great place to kick back and enjoy a relaxing weekend. The view was amazing as we were right on the beach. We very much enjoyed the balcony and the pool area was very peaceful and well kept.

We were very happy with our choice and will return.
Thank You for sharing your property Mark and Tatyana!

Everything was great really enjoyed my time!

It is a very good condo. The best view, cleanliness, warm water pool, large bed,very quiet place.

Enjoyed the ocean view and being right on the beach. Condo was beautifully done and beds comfortable. Loved the walk- in shower also.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Owners were great, and the view and beach access made the trip well worth the money.

Just as advertised, beachfront with deck to enjoy the view. Clean, updated condominium. Would recommend.

Breathtaking ocean views from the moment you walk through the front door. Ocean access is steps away. Courtyard and pool are very nice areas to enjoy as well. Condo has been updated nicely and the owners are available to you directly. We loved our stay and plan on going again. Brent & Cinnamon

This place has a panoramic view of the beach that is breathtaking and better than the photos! Beach access is great! We got up before sunrise every morning and walked on the beach. Kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. Wraparound porch was awesome with weighted chairs that don't blow away. There were four of us and we never turned on the tv once from Friday to Monday - were always at the beach, pool, or eating seafood. Best getaway ever. Makes me want to retire now and move to beach. Place was ultra clean, coffee maker was super. All appliances were new/worked great.

Beautiful condo with everything you need to have a great family vacation. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect location, beautiful views, amazing staff. We will rent this one over and over again.

Mark is an amazing host! He responded very promptly to my questions and was very helpful! We enjoyed our week at the beach. I mostly enjoyed my time sitting on the balcony and drinking my coffee in the morning while listening to the waves. Ahhhh!!

Right on the beach - so convenient! Great views!!

As soon as we opened the doors we were blown away by the view. Condo was very clean and had pretty much anything we needed. Mark was very helpful answering all our questions prior to our arrival and the people at the front desk were also very welcoming. Beaches are also very clean and well taken care of. Great spot for a family get away!

We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the sunrise every morning. We will defiantly come back again.

This condominium has an amazing view of the gulf and is very well finished out. We will be looking forward to staying here again next year.

I could nit-pic the little things, but I won’t because they don’t matter. The view was amazing. The facility seems older but the unit itself was very updated. The owner contacted us the day before and told us about the place. Two Thumbs up

This is a great rental for people with kids. We traveled with our 6-year old twins and 2 year old. Very quick walk to the beach and pool. Grocery store, movie theatre (it rained some while we were there) and pharmacy nearby. At bedtime we were able to tuck our kids in at one bedroom and still be able to watch TV and hang out without keeping them up. Quiet condo - no craziness. Very nice unit. Fully updated and has everything you need.

*The view from the floor to ceiling windows "Everything!"* *All the upgrades stylish! *King size mattresses high quality/restful sleep! *Beach access too easy! *Walk to the pier approximately 5 miles...rejuvenating! *Mark and staff gracious and accommodating! *Couldn't ask for a better beach vacation!

Great, great condo. The view is fabulous! We will definitely return to this lovely get away!

I would highly recommend this property. Very clean, comfy and the owner was open to communication for anything you would need.

Mark's response:
"Book you upcoming stay now, as later may be too late."

Beautiful beachfront condo with spectacular sunrise views! Nicely furnished with everything you need to enjoy your stay! We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely stay at SUNRISE anytime we are in Corpus!

The apartment is ideally located near the sea. The pool area was very welcome and well kept. The apartment is tastefully furnished and decorated, clean and very comfortable. Mark was always available for any questions and needs

We loved our time in the unit. Mark was a gracious host and a delight to communicate with. The view from the condo is GORGEOUS!!! The unit itself is clean and very well kept. I highly recommend!!

This is a beautiful condo. Everything that you need is right at your fingertips. Beautiful view. Will definitely stay there again.

Mark met us at the condo which was very nice. He made sure the windows were freshly cleaned so we would have the perfect view. Accommodations were perfect, the condo was more beautiful than the pictures online. The view from the balcony was amazing, especially to watch the sunrise. Once we stopped at the grocery store for food, we did not feel the need to leave. Mark was quick to respond to questions & provided all the information needed prior to arrival. Check-in was very easy. The front desk person was very friendly. Highly recommend for a couple, friends or family getaway. Looking forward to our return.

Mark, Thank you for being such a wonderful host! Even though Mother Nature sent us a cold front during our stay, we were still able to enjoy the beach from your great condo! We were even able to go swimming because the pool was heated!! It was a dream to wake up and have coffee on the balcony overlooking the beach. We cannot wait for the opportunity to return. It really felt like our own vacation home. Thank you!!

Had a great time on the beach. Loved being so close to the beach that we were laying out in minutes and then popped back to the condo for lunch. Also, it is a great beach for long walks. The condo was very clean and nicely appointed.

We had a great time at this beautiful house. It is right on the beach and the views are amazing! Mark was very helpful throughout our stay. He contacted us before our stay and gave all the information about the apartment. Great hospitality throughout the stay including making the key available to us personally after we arrived late (almost midnight).
The house is beautifully decorated. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen is well equipped with all the appliances and tools if you plan to cook. Enough pillows, bed-sheets and blankets for 5-6 people. They also had nice beach chairs and fun little tools to build sandcastles 🙂
Highly recommended!

Nicely remodeled / updated room that is perfect for a family of 4. Being a corner unit it has a larger balcony than most units and an extra expanse of glass that adds to your amazing view. There were also a couple beach chairs, umbrella, etc in the closet for use. The unit faces east so sunrise is awesome and by late morning the balcony is already in the shade to keep you ‘cool’. It had been nearly 25 years since I had been back to the area. There are very few properties actually on the beach due to building restrictions so understand that the few that are are older. While kept up, the overall property does show its age. However if you want true beachfront this is one of very few options (most are long boardwalks over dunes to beach) and this specific unit with its views and updates is well worth it. Very close to restaurants and the main thoroughfare into Corpus as well and Port Aransas. Also appeared to be golf cart rentals (don’t forget you can drive on the beach most places) across the street. As this was a bit of a late booking for us on spring break, the owner was very responsive and called us on check in day to make sure we didn’t have any questions prior to arrival. Yes, you can find some newer properties with ‘views’ or ‘beach access’ but again, if you want beachfront benefits in a nicely updated unit with easy access to the modern amenities (retaraunts, stores) it is unlikely you can’t do better than this!

Every utensil & appliance you’d every need is in the kitchen! There was even two boogie boards six beach chairs and umbrella. 2-bed 2 bath huge granite island with stools + table, Cool little bar too. Wrap around porch on corner of fourth of six floors. (Didn’t hear a peep from above) Nice grass area before seawall then giant beach with car access. Head to Scuttlebutts nearby for great food. Only minor downside if ya need privacy from the kidos while in the condo... the master only has a sliding somewhat see through partition with no lock. Great place to visit the Selena and USS Lexington museums too. Has bath towels that can be exchanged at pool area(washing machine is down there too) bring your own beach towels. We’ll definitely be back!

Mark's response:
"Robyn, Thanks for the great review! We would love to have you visit again anytime."

The condo is well equipped with everything you need. You even have a full view of the ocean when you are sitting inside at the dining table back by the kitchen. You can’t beat the wrap around balcony and the view. They have some awesome chairs on the balcony that look over the railing. The unit is close to the elevator. The elevator is on the outside of the building, no noise, very convenient. Just steps from the beach. Large pool and the grounds are very well maintained. The gas grills in the pool area are already lit in the evening ready to cook on. Easy to communicate with the owner if needed.

Gulf view from the living and bedroom areas through the large glass windows of a corner unit, in a complex with direct and easy access to the beach. The condo is clean and well furnished and the kitchen has all the amenities. Part of North Padre Island and its charm, including the National Seashore and a short jaunt to Port Aransas. Plenty of great restaurants nearby. We would highly recommend it to friends.

View is stunning and the decor is beautiful!

You won’t go wrong staying here! This condo is very comfortable, in a great location, easy beach access, gorgeous gulf views, and well equipped with everything we needed. Checking in was easy and the condo staff is very welcoming and helpful. Even though we didn’t have the best weather, we were able to enjoy the beautiful views, walks on the beach, and enjoyed breakfast on the balcony with a beautiful sunrise. Another plus is the great pool and hot tub area. Mark is very responsive, easy to contact and available for any questions. We loved our visit to Padre Island and the surrounding area, and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Mark's place is outstanding, the condo is as advertised right on the beach after a stop at the grocery store there is no reason to leave the place clean updated and comfortable what a great place to call your own for a few days or week thanks again mark we will be back.

Our stay was truly wonderful. Mark was very responsive to all of our questions. The view was completely amazing and access to the beach and boardwalk couldn't have been better. We look forward to staying here again on a future visit.

Beautiful condo with a wonderful view.

It was great , the view was the best . The condo is clean and very well maintained. Seller was awesome to work with.

This is an awesome condo! The views are incredible. Love the floor to ceiling windows! The check in process was very easy. The location right on boardwalk could not have been better! We had a wonderful New Years weekend! The condo was immaculate and the host very responsive. We will be back!!!

This condo is warm and inviting, we’ll stocked and comfy. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when on Padre Island. The view is wonderful! The perfect spot to watch the sunrise! It was everything I hoped it would be!

The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The view of the beach was perfect and access was very convenient. We've already recommended this place to many of our friends!

Mark's response:
"Thank you so much for your kind review and I will look forward to hosting you and your friends again in the future."

Being right on the beach and boardwalk worked out well for my family. The view from the unit, the chairs on the deck, the ease of access all helped my disabled brother and elderly mother be able to enjoy the coast with ease. Had a nice time. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch as well as the seashore themed decor.

We really have been spoiled with gulf views in other places we (Website hidden by Airbnb) it was a BIG factor when picking this year's condo. We saw the pictures and the title of Mark's condo...A TRUE BEACHFRONT WITH ACTUAL FULL ON OCEAN VIEWS...Well (Website hidden by Airbnb) the real deal! No canal views...Pure Ocean View! Anywhere inside this gorgeous space you have floor to ceiling Gulf Coast Views!! Everything was just perfect. Beautifully furnished, nicely equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, huge LED T.V. with Netflix and Amazon Prime...really cool layout and those views! The beach directly out of the gated back entrance/exit is full of sand dollars and a delightful jetty just walking distance to the left of the property. It was great fun walking down to the jetty at sunset and watching the fisherman reel 'em in. Mark was a pro with communication. We will be back to this hidden treasure! Thanks Mark for making my 52nd GREAT!

Response from Mark:
Thanks Jim for the great review! Yes, the jetty is great fun and a must do while you are here. I also highly recommend going a bit further to the right to visit the Bob Hall Pier with the Mikel May's Beachside Bar & Grill which is actually on the water with incredible views and fantastic fishing. Take a minute to Googlr pictures of the Bob Hall Pier and see the monster swordfish that was caught there.

The photos don’t do it justice, the full ocean views must be experienced in person. Lots of windows and surprisingly quiet. Mark was fantastic with communicating frequently and quick responses. An in-room washer/dryer would’ve been nice but overall very well-equipped.

Response from Mark:
Jeff, Thanks for the great comments and for being great guest. You are correct, the pictures just can't do the view any justice. We too wish there could be washer/dryer for our guest in the condo. Unfortunately, the buildings plumbing system can not handle the water from washing machines and the lower level homes would suffer. However, there is a laundry next to the huge heated swimming pool. We call it Wash-n-Tan! We suggest a dip in the pool or just relax in the hot tub while your wash dries?

The description and pictures are spot on. The beach is literally steps away. The view was phenomenal! That alone was worth the stay. Mark was quick to respond when anything came up. I would definitely recommend this place. I know I’ll be back.

Had a great tpme.I will definitely be back.

Just as described, beautiful sunrise, great view. Comfortable beds and furniture. Huge beach.

Fantastic views, right on the beach. Older well kept property. Great staff. Condominium is well appointed and well maintained.

Mark and Tatiana are great hosts.

We have a wonderful time in this property. Very clean and everything in great shape!
It's right on the beach with great view of the ocean. We stay only 3 days, next time we're going for a week.

Thanks Mark

Checking in for this property was very quick and simple. The interior is updated and well maintained throughout. We loved the large living room area and the comfortable chairs. This flowed nicely into the master bedroom area which had floor to ceiling windows creating a beautiful backdrop for going to sleep or waking up. Getting clean was made easy with the nicely updated master shower with great water pressure. You'll be tempted to spend time on the wrap-around balcony which includes table and chairs for spending time enjoying the uninterrupted beach views. The kitchen was fully equipped to handle anything that you care to prepare, so don't hesitate to bring your cooking with you, if you desire. Overall, the owners have made this a tremendously enjoyable place to stay and this property should not be missed! Mark (owner) was very responsive and easy to contact. Between the great property and the superb owner, anyone can create fantastic memories at this wonderful beach-front getaway.

Loved the beautiful beach view through the seemingly endless bank of windows. Great location with plenty of dining options and your choice of beaches to visit. Of course it was just a few steps to the beach to enjoy the sun, water, and endless breeze to keep things comfortable. Hosts have done a wonderful job in keeping the place updated and with a view like this one, it's challenging to get out of bed. I would recommend this to anyone and would definitely book again the next trip to Corpus Christi.

Mark's response:
"Thank you so much for taking the time to review our great vacation home that we call THE SEAHORSE. We will look forward to your next visit to the island."

Access upon arrival was very straightforward and the condominium staff was very friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect for a beach getaway. We simply had to roll out of bed and go downstairs to get to the beach.
We enjoyed the easy access to the national seashore down the road and the fun of driving on the beaches with our rented jeep 4x4 on Mustang Island and National Seashore.

The owner was very attentive and made himself available for any needs and questions. He also put efforts into our special requests and needs.

We would love to rent this property again.

We planned a very last minute getaway and Mark could not have been more accommodating! The Sunrise condo is beautiful. Stunning views and very convenient to everything. Right on the beach. The beds were very comfortable and the condo was very clean and put together perfectly. They had all of the utensils needed to prepare food and the master shower was awesome. We would love to visit again and would certainly recommend to everyone.
The Sipes family!

The location was perfect. The condo was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Mark was very easy to work with and just a phone call away. Can't wait to go back again!

This condo was right on the beach. Loved sitting out on the balcony and enjoying the views. The condo was stocked with everything we needed, just add food. The owners took the time to make sure the unit was very clean for our arrival. Like some reviews mentioned, the complex seems a bit outdated, but the staff were very friendly and helpful. The complex was also very well maintained. Overall, a great stay. Will return in the future.

The outside is a little old looking however once inside the unit it was beautiful. The view was perfect! The owners were very helpful and friendly. It was a great girls trip. The only thing was the internet was not great and there wasn't cable. We had to use Netflix when we watched TV.

The condo is terrific. It is well maintained and very comfortable. The wraparound porch is very nice. Even in summer you can sit outside and enjoy the breeze. It is on the beach which makes for very easy access.

The complex itself is a little dated, but that should not stop you from looking at this condo. I highly recommend it.

Mark's Place at the condo is very nice. The updates to the interior are great, fully functional, AC keeps the place a good temperature even with the extensive floor to ceiling windows which provide an excellent view! The wrap-around porch and proximity to the beach are really what oceanfront living is all about! There is a building that partially obstructs the view of the left (north) side of the beach, but the view overall all is great! The master bedroom is separated from the living room via sliding wall partitions, which means that when the people staying in the second bedroom wake up, so do you (if you're a light sleeper), but this is the only way to work the living room such that you get more windows and openness , a decent trade off. After the view, what I really about this location is that because further down the beach (about a mile) is blocked from driving traffic, and the beach access road is very close to the condo, there is not a constant stream of road traffic when you're on the beach in the day (good for the little ones) and not a constant stream of headlight traffic at night. It is also close to a jetti that is fun to walk down. The community pool was also nice.

Great location if your looking for beach laziness. Perfect views from both the condo and balcony with easy access to the beach.
