My friends and I stayed at the Condo the end of September/beginning of October. We had an amazing stay. About half of us had not been to SPI in many years and the other half had visited recently and could compare their experience to other nearby condos. This may be one of the best condos I have ever

The Raposas' condo is amazing with every possible amenity! It is well appointed, comfortable, and right on the beach. Waking up every morning to such luxury and such a view was nothing short of heavenly!

This condo provided an awesome experience for our family: great location, great beach views, gated and secure parking, and excellent amenities. Ed provided everything we needed, from towels and toys to kitchen utensils and barbecue grill. The condo had TVs, internet, and space for our family to spre

My family and I had a great vacation. The condo was stocked with everything you could possibly need. I never got our beach chairs out of the back of the truck. My wife and I enjoyed the easy access to the beach while our boys would walk over to Schlitterbahn water park (I recommend buying a season p

Room 118 at the Sea Vista is a fantastic place to enjoy the wonderful views of S.P.I. It is well stocked and very clean and I hope very much to return one day. Thank you very much, Mr. Raposa

To say this place has it all is an understatement!!!!! Fully stocked, everything I didn't mean to forget, spotlessly clean, and any concerns we did have were addressed and fixed in minutes (literally, minutes!). We were so lucky to have stayed here and very much hope to do so again. Quick walk t

Our stay was in May 2016. Great beach view from living room, kitchen ,and master bedroom. Well stocked kitchen and well above average bath towells. You will be hard pressed to find any beach front first floor condo closer to the beach than those at Sea Vista. Walk to the left and you stroll past all

We spent a week in this unit in April. It was absolutely fabulous. Very well stocked as previous reviewers have said. Very spacious, nicely decorated, in great shape and the beds were very comfortable. There was even a pack and play for our two year old. Kitchen was better stocked than any rental I&

Upon walking into the condo, we were greeted with a tastefully decorated, lovely space with a breathtaking view. While unpacking all of my kitchen knives and spices that I brought with me, as we planned to cook most of our meals, I discovered that I didn't need ANY of them. I have never seen a r

The condo was well stocked with all amenities. I had picked up all kinds of toiletries on the drive down from N Texas, i.e. soap, shampoo, etc. but found condo was completely stocked with everything you would find in your own home. I looked forward to sitting each morning on the patio, sipping my co

This place was everything promised and MORE!! Clean, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, great décor throughout. Breathtaking ocean views and privacy at the same time. It was hard to leave this place and we can't wait to go back!

Great location to the beach. Great views from the deck. A little small but was fine for us for the couple of days we were there. Pools were very nice. We had family of 4 in there. I added a pic of the view from the deck.

Great property. Well acquainted condo. Beautiful beach. Exactly as described. We would stay here again!

Perfect place for a beach vacation. We stayed here for a joint vacation with parents plus my wife and toddler son. The location was awesome for quick access to the beach being on the 1st floor and also easy access to everything else on the island, which was pretty quiet considering it was shoulder s

My husband, toddler, baby, and I had a wonderful stay at sea vista 119! It was comfortable, clean, safe, quiet, and just all around felt like home. Beautiful views and stocked with everything you could need. If we ever make the journey down to SPI again, we will be booking this exact condo again! I

Cozy and beautifully clean. Well stocked with everything you need. The view is really amazing! With 3 little kids it was a dream being able to go right out the patio door and be to the beach and playing in the water within 2 minutes. That stretch of beach was so quiet compared to the rest on the hol

This condo is exactly as it shows on VRBO. It was very spacious. Right on the beach. Thank you for sharing this condo with others.

A great place!!! This condo is a great place to stay, clean, fully stocked, everything you need. The view is unbelievable, sitting on the patio with your coffee in the mornings, and your wine in the evenings, listening to the sound of the ocean!!

This was our second stay at the condo & it was just as perfect as the first time! The condo was so clean & smelled so good! The cleaning staff does an incredible job. The condo really does feel like home. It is perfect for our family of four. The view is amazing. You can't get any better than th

Relax & enjoy a clean, comfortable condo located ground floor in a four floor building. Not a high-rise, mind you. A well-stocked kitchen, many towels, and all of the comforts of home will greet you in Sea Vista 119. Enjoy the patio in the afternoon for a drink, snacks, or to avoid the sun.

We stayed at Sea Vista 119 for the first time August 2014. Shortly after returning to Austin, we reserved the same unit for August 2015. Love the view AND the short walk to the beach. The condo is well equipped with everything you need and it is very clean. I'm a harsh critic of cleanliness and

First floor, walk to the beach! Awesome place with great owners!! Hoping to go again soon!!

This was our third stay at this condo and it was just as great as always. The condo is immaculate, comfortable, tastefully decorated, has everything you need and so convenient to the beach. We have small children so we appreciate the short walk to the water (carrying all the toys, taking kids back a

My two best friends and I just got back from a week in South Padre Island. We stayed in 119 for the entire week and felt so at home. The place is clean and neat and very nicely decorated. It also had so many little things that just made is special. We felt like we were at home the entire time. The v

We arrived to the condo to find it exactly as expected from the pictures we'd seen on-line. The amenities within the condo (soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, towels, bedding, dishes, cookware, spices) are very nice, good quality, and plentiful. The condo is very clean and we were so comfortabl

My wife and I just returned from another great vacation on the island. For the last 3 years we've stayed for a full week in this condo (Sea Vista #119) and have already reserved the same time slot for next year. I'll tell you why....

My family & I went to South Padre for the very first time during the second week of June 2014. Upon arrival to the SeaVista, we were breathless with the amenities & cleanliness. The location (first floor unit with quick assess to both the pool & beach) was absolutely wonderful! The informative packe

My husband and I recently enjoyed a stay along with another couple at this wonderful condo. I can't express enough how clean and well maintained the condo is. We were vey happy with all aspects of our stay. We loved being so close to the beach and the view from the master bedroom and living room

If you are looking for a home away from home while on vacation then this is the place. Ed and Cathy have everything you could need in this property. The condo is so nicely decorated and just steps from the beach. You will not be disappointed!

We are a family of 6 with 4 daughters. We stayed in Sea Vista for Spring Break and was so much more than we expected. The Condo is larger than the pictures, The beech is more private - even during spring break we had the beech to ourselves. It was the safest place I have ever taken my kids, with sec

This condo is far exceeded our expectations. What an amazing vacation we had. The views from the patio, living room and master bedroom are "truly unbelievable". The condo was immaculate upon arrival and the decor was so soothing and relaxing. It was also very well equipped and we lacked for nothing.

Thanks Ed & Cathy for letting us enjoy an amazing week in your side by side condos. Our family is in agreement....We Will Be Back!!! Both condos have an awesome view of the beach and each has an inviting & comfy presence. Everything met our needs for our group of 6 adults & 3 children, especially th

Now that school has started I have a minute to write about how much our family of four loved staying at Sea Vista! We started our stay in Unit 419, which was very nice and then we moved to #119 for our second week and that unit blew us away! It is immpecibly furnished and so well stocked with every

I have stayed in many condos at beaches from the Florida Keys to Hawaii and I have to say this was the best one yet! Location: it's on the beach; it was incredibly convenient to be able to run back up and grab a snack or a drink. The close proximity to the beach meant you didn't have to lug

What a great place for a quick getaway!! Our family enjoyed the condo very much, it felt a lot like home. The easy access to the beach made it less stressful for us parents. All the necessities that were provided were great and we had no worries of not having beach chairs or sand buckets because all

The condo was everything that was described plus more. Anything that you needed was there for you. Towels, soaps, lotions, dishes, cookware and much more. The condo was spotless and the views incredible. We will be staying again and can't wait until next years vacation. The owners are wonderful

We had never been to South Padre Island and I am so glad we had the opportunity to stay in Ed and Cathy's condo. It was a wonderful location and loved having direct access to the beach. The weather was great during our stay and the people you meet in the gated community our super sweet. Ed is so

We visited during the spring break season and with two children were worried about the atmosphere we'd find in South Padre. In that respect this unit is ideal, located at the end of the beach there was little to no interaction with any rowdy spring breakers. The complex is gated with security th

My husband and I are seniors and were longing for a place to relax and enj0y walking on the beach . We couldn't believe our good fortune in finding the ideal spot. Everything about it was excellent. The condo itself was so comfortable and well equiped we felt we were in our own home then on top

Oh, my what a treat... I've never stayed in a condo, anywhere, and had only dreamed about a special place ON the beach. This was truly a dream come true, and even more than I could have imagined. Thank you, Ed and Cathy, for a very special place to celebrate a huge birthday (#50)... you made my

I have traveled all over the world and stayed at many condos and this is on the TOP of my list. My friend and I just needed to get away for a few days-Dec. 8th-12th (wish it was more) and found this place on line..pretty short notice. Wow, did I hit the jack pot !! All we wanted to do was relax, loo

Our stay at Sea Vista was awesome!! It is so much more than we expected. The condo is very well appointed, my husband fell in love with the Tommy Bahama recliner! We were very comfortable.

Quit looking! You have found the best condo on the island! We have stayed in the Sea Vista complex the last four years, twice in Ed and Cathy's condo. It is THE best stocked condo and also THE most tastefully decorated. We have two little boys, ages 6 and 7, and it is priceless to be able to kee

Ed and Cathy, Your condo is nicer than I expected. So many times condos are not what they are billed as. But your was REALLY wonderful.

We stayed in unit #119 and LOVED it! Ed and Kathy were easily reached before the stay and answered any questions we had. The unit is great! Right on the beach and perfect for our family (2 adults, 3 small children). The unit was clean, stocked with everything you may need and just perfect. When we r

We have been to Ed and Cathy's Beautiful Condos several times. To say that this is a perfect place to spend your vacation is not an exaggeration. From the secure location, to the wonderful Beach View, to the comfortable beds and cleaned stocked condo...PERFECT!

We will continue to

Our family enjoyed the condo it was very relaxing, great views and very close and easy access to the beach. We would definitly stay there again. The secured access to the complex and the on site security a big plus. The kitchen unit is well equiped with everything that is needed. The unit lives up t

I've lost track of how many years we've been coming to this lovely condo for our week at the beach. We love everything about it: it's clean, conveniently located, has a very well-stocked kitchen, plenty of space, a gorgeous view, and things are always in perfect working order. There isn&

This property has a great view. Owners were easy to work with. Furnishings were really nice and comfortable. Almost had the beach all to ourselves. I would recommend this property!

Wow! The description is accurate, but just barely. The unit is that and sooooo much more. The view!!! I think I could stay there forever just watching the waves roll in. There is absolutely nothing to block this fantastic view, the sand dunes are situated perfectly for your unit. We (four May birthd

This place is absolutely perfect. Very well stocked and the location is absolutely wonderful. You literally could sit and people watch and enjoy the waves from the livingroom. Floor to ceiling windows allow you to look out at the beach, or leave the shades drawn up a bit in the master bedroom and wa

We very much enjoyed our stay on South Padre Island. We are convinced your condo is in the most ideal spot on the island. It was great beach view and such quick, easy access. It had the nicest beach and the kids could step right outside to play in the sand. All other complexes looked to be farther f

Ed and Cathy
Thanks for sharing your outstanding condo. It was a great place for older folks, we are in our 70's and my wife has difficulty walking any distance.  South Padre was one of our choices as we travel to celebrate our 55th year together.  It was an easy walk to the beach for h

I wanted to do something different this year for our Christmas vacation.  Something that was family oriented and of course memorable!  This was vacation was it!  This condo was everything that I'd hoped it was and more.  The view from the room was something we could get used to fast!  Every

My son and I enjoyed our stay in South Padre Island.  It was wonderful to walk out the door and be on the beach.  The Condo was decorated so beautifully and having morning coffee on the patio was so relaxing.  Just hated that our visit had to end so soon.  We will definitely include this in our

We had a wonderful time staying at this condo. The location is gorgeous! This was our children's (10, 8, & 7) first time to the beach and we couldn't have asked for anything better. You walk out the door and your at the beach! The condo is clean, the decor beautiful, and the bathrooms are go

First time vacationing in South Padre Island,and so happy we stayed at Ed and Cathy's condo. Just like the pictures,the condo was very clean and classic. It was so nice to relax on the patio and watch the sunset.

We loved our vacation and one of our favorite parts was returning to this wonderful condo right by the ocean! We stayed last year for 4 nights and added a few days this year to make it a week. We could have stayed another week or month easily! The condo is so comfortable. It's hard to believe it

This place was very nice,just like the description on site.It was clean and had everything we needed and more.I would stay at this place again and again,bring my girls too.
Thank for letting us share your home.

Our second visit was just a great as the first; only problem, we had to leave because someone else had it booked. We moved to a nearby unit, no comparison! This unit is terrific! We will return. Thanks for a great vacation!

Well, all I can say is that this exceeded our expectations.....we had never before visited South Padre Island and was totally taken by the beauty of the island, the cleanliness of the island, and the excellent stores and restaurants. Your condo was icing on the cake. You took extra steps to make you

This condo is WONDERFUL! There is nothing negative that I can say about this place....other than I wish we could have stayed another week. The location is perfect...you can sit and drink coffee in the mornings and watch the waves roll in...when the kids want to go play...the beach is right there. We

I cringe to write this review because it will just make it harder for us to reserve this condo in the future.  But the owners deserve credit for having a great condo in probably the best location on any beach in Texas. 

I've visited most of the beaches in Texas and South Padre i

Our stay at this condo exceeded our expectations. Not one complaint from the any of the four adults in our group (ages 28 to 58). I admit that I have high standards for cleanliness and order – this condo passed every test. The beach is truly right off the patio. Just a few steps from the front doo

Our week in the condo was great. We walked in the door and couldn't believe how beautiful and homey it was. We have never stayed in such a well stocked vacation home. The kitchen has everything you could want in it and even the pantry shelves were full. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful a

We were so pleased with this beautiful condo.  We brought our two teen-aged daughters and we all had a great time. It is kept so clean! When we first walked in I noticed all we kept saying was "Wow", "This is sooo pretty!", "Look how great this is!".  The location on the beach was wonderful as wel

What an amazing place!  My husband and I absolutely loved this condo and the proximity it gave us to the beach.  Because the entire east wall of the condo is nothing but glass, we were even able to sleep looking at the ocean, and wake to the sun rising over the water.

Additionally,

For anyone looking for a great place to stay in S. Padre Island, this is it. It was everything and more than we expected. Being a ground floor condo was wonderful. just open the door and you're on the beach. The condo was decorated beautifully with every aminity that you could want. All the litt

This has to be just about the best location on the whole of South Padre Island! You get the view (just as Ed has shown in the photography taken from the Master bedroom) and you also get the easy access - just stepping out the patio door onto the golden sand! Sea Vista is probably the only Condo that

The Raposa's condo was breathtaking, from the gorgeous view of the beach to the wonderful decor of the condo. It is evident from the moment you enter that they truly make an effort to ensure you feel at home, and have thought of every detail to make your stay wonderful. A truly enjoyable experie

Wow, where to begin...my husband and I and our 3 kids stayed in the Raposa's condo for 5 wonderful nights.  The minute we walked into the condo and saw the view, we were absolutely amazed!  Once we were able to take our eyes off the beautiful view of the beach and ocean we looked around the co

We had a fabulous time at the Raposa's condo! We want to thank them so much for being so thoughful and providing so many nice amenities, things that made us feel at home. The place was so cozy and comfortable and beautifully decorated, I could go on and on. There were six of us, my parents, my t

This condo was perfect for us! The views from the living area and master bedroom were incredible. The location of the condo on the island was so convenient. Since it's close to the bridge, sightseeing in Port Isabel was just as convenient as everything on the island itself. The condo was

My girlfriend and I stayed at Ed and Kathy's condo in April for 3 days and enjoyed every moment. The location was absolutely perfect, right on the beach, right out the back door. For those of you who love the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach, this one is for you. The condo had everything

The drive from the Chicago area to this wonderful condo was well worth it. The location on the beach is wonderful-only a few steps across a soft deep sand beach to the water.

The Raposa's condo is absolutely the best! We have stayed on South Padre several times over the years and have never stayed in a more comfortable condo with such great beach access. It has all the small touches that set it apart from the rest. Just having the little dishes on the dresser and nig

My thoughts when I first walked through the door & into the kitchen was WOW!! We had never rented from an owner before, so we were a little nervous. If I thought the pictures of the ocean were "too good to be true", they were even better! What a treat to wake up in the morning & have that view right

This is truly the most wonderful vacation rental we have ever had the privilege to enjoy. We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the pictures on the website and were must more pleasantly surprised when we arrived. This condo is everything they said it would be and MUCH MUCH MORE! We visited in

we go to south padre every year and without a doubt, this condo was the best weve ever stayed in...we went off season, the location was great, it was quiet and peacefull...it was all it was said to be and much, much more...im not telling when we usually go on vacation because i want to book it again

What a great vacation spot. We have lived near SPI most of our lives and the location of this condo is excellent. It is situated in a seculed section of beach right in the middle of all the action. Close to the water park, the jetties(where the dolphins play), close to major hotels and all the hotte

This condo was everything advertised and more ! Right on the beach with great views from the master bedroom and living area. It was super clean. Everything we needed for our stay was there.

My family and I stayed here over the Labor Day Holiday, and all we can say is WOW! We were very impressed with this condo, it has everything you could need. It's the best placed we have stayed at by far. What better way to wake up in the morning to a beautiful ocean view and then be able to w

We had a great time at your spectacular condo. I have never felt more at home while on vacation. The only down side is that my teens told me they will never stay at a hotel again after staying at sea vista 119. We were definitely spoiled!

08/10/09 We just returned after spending 6 glorious days at your vacation condo- THANKS.We had a truly awesome time.The condo is perfectly situated on the beach which really is quieter than the rest-we love it ! The description of the condo does not do it justice it is well maintained with wonderful

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had over the 4th of July weekend at your condo. It was just how you described it. What a perfect place it ended up being for my daughter's first birthday! Thanks again and I hope we can stay again in the future.

WOW! What a wonderful place. We think this is the best location in South Padre because it is at the end of the condo/hotel chain and aids in more beach space. Also very close beach access. The condo is very nice and comfortable, very well stocked. We loved the pool as well. Could not have been happi

We greatly enjoyed staying at your condo. My family had a wonderful time relaxing on the beach, swimming at the pool, and just slowing down and soaking up South Padre Island.

Thanks again for your accommodations and we look forward to staying with you again in the near future.

We had a wonderful time at this condo, the view and access to the beach is like no other on the island. The kids loved the pool, also very easy access since the condo is on the 1st floor. We can't wait to go back next year! Thanks Raposa Family for sharing your lovely place.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your condo on Padre. It was exactly as you described. Your many personal touches and well stocked items made the condo much more than just a rental but immediately made you feel at home. We had medical issues with my Dad and ended up paying the island
