**PLEASE SCAMMERS LEAVE ME ALONE! I know your trick.
**I have as youtube video that I cannot download from a few years ago (copy paste) https://www.youtube.com/@roxb2512/videos
**I AM FINALLY A PREMIER HOST.5 STAR REVIEWS ARE REQUIRED. I am very upset at A system where 1-4 star review kicks me out.I had a 1 star review last august. He lied to get money back.All the other requirements I am 100% but I cant control peoples reviews.
**I do ask you to be patient with me however as I am kind of out of practice with what I need to do. Its been a long time. BTW once booked I precheck you in.You just need to finish the check in. If you check in before 3, it is usually not busy & thus quick.
**IF ELEVATOR IS OUT, THE OFFICE WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR THINGS UP & DOWN THE STAIRS. That is their job. It is usually fixed within hours or the next day. The ocean air wrecks havoc with metal. My condo lock is replaced every couple of years as are faucets.
**This condo is on Corpus Christi bay not the gulf of Mexico or ocean. Texas beach watch checks Texas beaches for bacteria & the bay has the same low bacteria as the gulf.
**PLEASE REVIEW ME & MY CONDO ONLY, NOT THINGS OUT OF MY CONTROL like weather, elevators (All building ELEVATORS OFF & ON), cable TV internet out, seasonal jellyfish (buy repellent), beach s&, condition of buildings, very rare occasion city waterline break, electricity out, etc. COMPLEX STILL NEEDS WORK!
**RIGHT ON BEACH, not just beach view (dont do it but you could throw something from the balcony & it will land on the beach)
**Inquires usually answered within an hour daytime.
**COMPARE TOTAL PRICE: VIEW DETAILS for extra fees I don't have
**8 AM CHECK IN'S & 5 PM CHECK OUTS. Some charge $65.00/ hour for this.24/7 check ins most days (I give up 2 days of rental to do this). Like getting extra days. Everyone else has a 11 am check out & 4 pm check in.
**HONEST PRICE:BEYOND MY CONTROL taxes(30 days+=no tax),VRBO,& complex $20.00 check in.
**Labor day to before memorial day weekend= $pring RATES CHEAPER & weekday=cheaper.
*100% owner managed! BEWARE,I am told, I am helpful, friendly & consider everyone like family. My honesty & those of others, I value most.
*NO FITNESS ROOM YET. (damaged Texas freeze)
**SAFETY FIRST: After booking I text you to assure I am a real person, not a scam.
**Per upgraded points web site North Beach is One of the 12 BEST BEACHES IN TEXAS 2021(pretty, warm water, family safe, opportunities to fish & sail, best bird-watching in country,& stunning sunsets)
**BY BOOKING, you agree to HOUSE RULES & conditions of use. Thank you for understanding. There is no limit to questions you can ask. VRBO WELCOME GUIDE & I have a guest information book.
**BEACH=VERY FEW PEOPLE. Soap, h& sanitizer,& bleach available & condo always disinfected between uses. POSTPONEMENT ALWAYS AVAILABLE WITH ME AFTER REFUND DEADLINE. Book with me & discover how much free extras you REALLY GET! I can't express it enough: YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR A TRUE BAY FRONT(only 30 units) because they are LARGER, balcony is private(only viewed from beach)& end in 00 to 05 & you get a 180° beach view verses a 45° VIEW with bay views(ends in 06 to 45).THERE ARE 5 CLOSETS(bay-views=4) & under bunk cabinets for storage. You pay good money so I want to make sure you have the best vacation ever by supplying all amenities & customer service you need. I HAVE QUICKLY ANSWERED EACH & EVERY REVIEW(good/bad),EMAIL OR TEXT.
**No hidden cameras inside. For your security I have installed a ring doorbell outside (presently not back on) . I do not monitor it except check out day to know when to clean.
**RETURN GUESTS HUGE DISCOUNTS. Text me.
**I apologize for lengthy listing but I believe I have all questions answered. If not, ask me. I have 68 true pictures of every square inch of my condo & a video(CLICK VIEW ALL PICTURES,PICTURE 3).
*Everything is electric & thus NO DEADLY CO2 POISON
*Having survived HURRICANE Harvey with not much damage at the complex or my home nearby, I would like to assure you unless eye of hurricane is within 25 to 150 miles away, the only inconvenience is rain & a little wind.
**4 years ago this North Beach complex(see last picture) but it is being fixed up VERY VERY slowly Think of complex as having TONS OF CHARACTER(lol). However, inside condo itself is a very cozy,1 bedroom, clean,& simple, casually beachfront decorated, not formally elegant. Reviews said some things are outdated(pictures are all recent & dated),but I do not believe in redecorating when things are still useful.
**I own & manage one unit (2300: building 2, 4th floor). My condo is very kid friendly with one of the BEST 180° PANORAMIC VIEW at this complex(20 miles in each direction). Condo:480 SQUARE FEET whereas typical hotel room:350 sq. ft & bay views are 420 sq. ft. I live 10 minutes away should there be ANY problems at all. Property is gated with security.
**This is only 1 of 4 of its kind at this complex(on top floor at end: There is only one condo to the left & one condo underneath(no sounds of feet on ceiling). Also, no foot traffic outside door because it is at very end, away from stairs & elevator(see pic map) & VERY,V,QUIET but noise is not frowned upon.
**Listen to waves, enjoy coffee,& watch dolphins from a private balcony. Balcony is shaded after 12 noon so there is no hot afternoon sun. Relax completely in shade.
**You could drop something from balcony & it will l& on beach. You can actually watch teenagers & adults in the water from balcony & run down stairs in a minute. Beach is much safer with no driving on beach & no rip tides.
**ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS AFTER CHECK IN: see cancellations.. Be very sure before booking to read all of this listing. I have said if condo is dirty (should not be) I have supplies in the condo to clean it.
**Everything is supplied in kitchen you would ever need: EMERGENCY SUPPLIES WHEN NEEDED, high chair when requested, lots of pots, pans, bake ware, utensils,22 spices, BBQ TOOLS, wine corkscrew, pizza cutter, full fridge. ice trays, blender, microwave, toaster, can opener, ground coffee maker, PROVIDED filtered coffee packs not Keurig, CROCK POT! There are all kinds & lots of BEACH TOYS, Tonka like trucks(cart to tote them to beach),binoculars(ships, birds, DOLPHINS),free WIFI, hundreds of DVD MOVIES,ROKU & lots of apps(Netflix, Hulu etc.),pool noodles, boogie boards, TP for each day up to 7,1 paper towel, complementary coffee, sugar, cream,2 beach chairs,2 chaises, gripper umbrella stand but UMBRELLA broke, 2 beach towels, beach mats, small drink cooler ice chest holds 8 drinks, Dyson vacuum cleaner, all cleaning supplies, dish soap, liquid soap(diluted for foaming container),hotel supplies, library of novels, spare light bulbs,& more, just ask! Two 40 wall mounted TVs. Other owners have seen what I offer & then offer them also. I accept that risk. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS DURING YOUR STAY INSTEAD OF GIVING ME A BAD REVIEW.
**SIX PERSONS MAXIMUM NO MATTER HOW SMALL! This only sleeps 4 adults & 2 children under age 18 maximum(bunk beds are for those under 5' 5 & ARE VERY NARROW:CHILDREN ONLY). 5 OR 6 ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 18 IS NOT ALLOWED in one condo at VDS SUBJECT TO EVICTION by VDS.
**Close to everything. Biking & walking on beach boardwalk to restaurants, shops, & sites is highly recommended (parking for aquarium $5.00). Bikes can be kept in one of 2 bike racks(securely locked) on property or taken up elevator & stored in hallway or balcony of condo, albeit a little crowded.
**NO pets, but Barkaritaville pet resort or Ruff-inn Pet Lodge will board animals in luxurious conditions.
** I expect guests to leave condo as they found it. I then clean, sanitize it completely & wash linens (IN CLOSET THAT I LEAVE OPEN) in hot water & Downy Unstoppables, Dyson Vacuum cleaner & cleaning supplies provided. THIS IS RENTED AS IS.1- I will do my best to clean it(bleaching everything that can be bleached, vacuuming, dusting)but 2-if you need more cleaning(or are a neat freak),my cleaning supplies or ones you prefer & buy, will clean it better. Chances are I will miss some small cleaning & I apologize. In other words, there is no maid service 3-I will charge you 150.00 & hire a professional to clean if you want.(I DO NOT CLEAN INSIDE CUPBOARDS OR DRAWERS. You should always clean items before use) I use foggers & defense spray(kept in closet)every month so I might miss the occasional dead bug in closet. Beaches & palm trees attract giant Texas size water bugs(keep doors closed)so there might be an occasional live one ready to die in my sprayed all the time condo.
**FYI: 5 charcoal grills.
**CANCELLATIONS:NONE AFTER CANCELLATION TIME PERIOD. For true emergencies I will, however, offer rescheduling that must be done within 3 months if there is availability. If not used within that time, offer will expire. **IMPORTANT: Previous guest could make copies of keys,& lost key fees.NO KEYS TO THIS CONDO. When paid in full, you receive one time code to door.
**Visitors guide & guest book in condo
**Mail box key for long stays
**Every time Make sure door is locked when you leave.
**Managed: INSIDE CONDO=me, COMPLEX=office staff, BOOKING =VRBO.

    The condo is filthy and smells bad. Cleanliness is NOT a luxury. There is dust and grease caked on numerous surfaces throughout. I felt like I had to wash my hands every time I touched anything. The fridge stinks and there isn't even anything in it! The floors are covered with dirty stained rugs. When I lay down in the bed I felt depressed. The room smelled so bad. There is a huge stain on the comforter! No one can relax in that setting. When I left off sightseeing and realized I had to go back to that condo my heart sank. The stove is so gross; there's no way I would cook on it. Everywhere I looked there was a film of grease and dirt - pictures on the wall, electrical outlets, everywhere! The owner treated me terribly even though I started off trying to be tactful about the problem but I couldn’t just pretend to be happy because of the view - I had to check out two days early (of four nights) because of the dirt and smell and then of course Expedia and VRBO were useless in helping me get a partial refund. I will be ending my stays with them as well and just booking direct; they aren’t cheaper and are all about collecting their fees. The owner is correct that the view is nice but that does not make up for staying in a filthy disgusting condo. I've never ever ever left a place in the middle of a vacation and I've traveled all over the world. I’m sure you get the message; I would give zero stars if I could. The condo is not in rentable condition.

    Property is exactly as advertised. The property is older, the space is small, everything was comfortable, and the view could not be beat. Im already planning my next visit.

    The host was so sweet and friendly. She recommended restaurants prior to the trip and checked in on our wellbeing when it appeared a storm may be blowing in. Beautiful view from the balcony and vacation themed decor. Plus, the USS Lexington is right outside the balcony to the right! The main reason we wanted to visit.

    This is definitely an older property, but is being renovated nicely. The little bungalow was perfect for our quick trip to Corpus Christi. We had everything we needed and sitting on the balcony with the great view of the golf was awesome. It was very easy to get a response from the owner when needed. Being on the corner away from the elevators and the hallway made for a quiet stay.

    From the booking til the end everything was great about being in the condo. Rox was very communicative from the moment we booked. She made sure we were very comfortable and she is definitely the sweetest. The condo is not modern but has so much decor my young kids loved it and loved looking at everything on the walls. The condo was very clean and had the best view of the beach so we watched the waves come in all day. Rox is a great host and when we do go back, we know where to stay. :)

    First and foremost, YES the condo is older. We were in town for a Beach tournament for our kids, we wanted close to the beach at an affordable price. We found exactly that. Rox was absolutely wonderful and kind. She has EVERYTHING you can imagine you may need, including all kinds of beach toys/needs that you can use. Again, the condo is older but everything worked fine for us with no issues. The view was GREAT and balcony was relaxing! North beach is literally right below you. Check in and check out was super easy also!
