Lovely stay near the beach

Everything was fantastic. The house was super clean and comfortable. The townhome community was quiet with a clean pool, and very conveniently located to the beach and restaurants. This was a perfect stay for a group of friends or family. The host was very communicative and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Life is a beach!!

Great condo!! Everything you need for a stay at the beach. Parking was in short supply if you bring more than 1 vehicle,and the road construction right in front of the entrance was definitely a challenge during the busy hours. 10/10 would absolutely book again!!!

Maravilla - Just as described

We felt right at home in this property. Carlos ensured we had everything needed for a relaxing stay. He was very easy to reach and accommodating. This townhouse is spacious, with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked. I also liked the nice pantry. Carlos and Laura pay attention to the little details, such as coffee available, filters, toilet tissue, paper towels, and every day cleaning supplies. We enjoyed the nearness to Whitecap Beach. We were able to get our exercise every morning in the beautiful white sands. We even found a few treasures. The construction on the highway out front wasn't bad, even in during spring break. Thank you Carlos and Laura, for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Getaway

The property was clean, well laid out, and a perfect size for two families to share. I loved the openness of the kitchen to the living room with a great dining table to gather around. There is a pantry are for food storage and a well-stocked kitchen as well as a downstairs convenient powder room. It is close to the beach (<5 min. drive) and a great HEB (<10 min. drive). Carlos the owner was also very kind and reached out to ensure we were able to access the home easily. We also enjoyed the nice little pool. It was overall a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this house! There was plenty of room for the 2 of us to live in for 3 months. The rooms, showers, and kitchen were spacious and included all the things you will need. I will especially miss the big couch in the living room! Carlos and his wife were very responsive and one time, even dropped off their own washer and dryer because the one in the house broke. They truly made our experience awesome! The house is minutes away from Whitecap Beach & the packery channel if you like to fish. There’s also a newly opened grocery store down the street.

Our Best Vacation Yet!

It did not take long for Mar-a-Villa to feel like our home away from home. It is tastefully decorated, spacious, very clean and comfortable. The great location provided us with many opportunities for a variety of activities and entertainment. We especially enjoyed the miles of beaches, the attractions in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and the smaller towns in the area. We highly recommend this townhouse to anyone who is looking for a wonderful vacation on North Padre Island.
