About this property
"Carmel" deluxe 1st-floor 2-bedrm condo by pool, pond & beach
No wonder Tommy Bahama wants to spend an endless summer (year-round!) at "The Carmel" ~ and you would, too, even if only for a week or a weekend! This (1st-floor) 2-bedroom showcase condo, furnished in classy-coastal-cottage décor, is only a stroll away from Whitecap Beach, and is just steps away from all Beach Club resort-style amenities ~ pool, hot tub, Finnish sauna, gym. Yet you'll sense a quiet peace at "The Carmel” with its private patio views of the fishing pond, the beckoning beach, and more...
It's all here! As far as all your Internet needs, "The Carmel" is equipped with fast-speed WiFi, the latest Spectrum cable, and 2 smart TVs, so you won't need to skip a beat with work or school, nor with your favorite programs. Has equipped-to-the-hilt kitchen and even a full-size washer & dryer for all your beachcomber laundry needs. Sleeping configurations include King-size in master bedroom, Queen-size in guest bedroom, Queen-size sofa bed in living room, plus portable youth-size folding cot, AND baby's pack-'n-play, too.
Please, NO PETS or EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: Our family has severe allergies and it is imperative that we keep our premises dog/cat dander-free. Folks with emotional support animals, regretfully, we must decline your inquiry to book due to this. While we understand your need, we cannot take the risk on our family's health, as this is our family's beach retreat. Much appreciated!
We named this splendid condo "The Carmel" because it reminds us of our California honeymoon location, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and this “Carmel” is also by the sea ~ actually only a 5-minute stroll to lovely Whitecap Beach. You couldn’t be any closer to all the water sports imaginable like fishing, boating, parasailing, windsurfing, you name it. Furthermore, it’s only a short drive to Padre Island National Seashore ~ the world's longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island. It all adds up to "The Carmel” being the ideal beach resort-style condo retreat for everyone ~ families, couples, honeymooners, wedding guests, babymooners, small groups (up to 6), plus baby – and yes, Tommy Bahama, too!

We enjoyed our 3 days at this beach condo.
The condo was well decorated and very comfortable. The location was perfect, across the street from the pool and club house and a short walk to the beach.
This rental was PERFECT! The location is very close to a great beach and right across from pool. The condo is decorated cute and was very clean. It had everything we needed as well. We will be booking this place again for our next trip down!
We have been staying at Beach Club condos at number of time over the last 10 years, and this was one of our best stays. Great location of the condo, and really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Carmel. It is a lovely unit and equipped with everything. Clean and well maintained, comfy beds, and nicely furnished. We would certainly book it again.
Loved the “Carmel”. Excellent hosts! Richard and Marilyn provided so much for our visit. The condo very comfortable and clean. And the location was perfect. And great communication from start to finish. Very happy with our choice to stay at “Carmel”.
Very nice location for our families celebrations for a wedding and beach baptism. The beds were very comfortable. Condo was well equipped with everything we needed. We didn’t notice the beach towels in the master closet until the 2nd day. Will be sure to rent here again if ever back to Corpus.
Our family of 4 very much enjoyed our stay at the Carmel. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect- easy walk to the beach and short drive to the grocery store and restaurants.This area has a much more relaxed vibe than nearby Port Aransas. The beds are comfy and the towels soft! The condo is very clean. Plenty of space for us with our 2 adult children. Wonderful private deck with view. Excellent communication with the hosts. So happy we stayed here.
Everything was wonderful. Our entire stay was so relaxing. The AC worked great, which was a perfect escape from this Texas heat. Both beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the pond, jumping fish, and sound of the breeze blowing over the water while sitting on the back porch. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The host replied quickly to any messages I sent. We couldn’t ask for more. We loved it so much and wanted to move in. We will definitely be back next year.
This condo was absolutely stunning! It was so beautifully decorated and felt like home. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and included lots of extras. They even provided spices for cooking. Richard and Marilyn are excellent hosts and provided exceptional communication through out the entire process. The check in process was seamless. They also provided details about the area and local amenities. Richard and Marilyn were very welcoming and kind. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and gym area. I wish we could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend staying at this condo, you won't regret it!
The Walkers were very gracious and had the condo fully stocked with essentials. We appreciated the cleanliness and the ease of checking in and out. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on returning.
We have stayed at numerous condos at the Beach Club and this one was the best! 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, private patio facing the pond, comfy beds, and spacious!
Cute and clean place with all kinds of extra amenities. Great location and the perfect accommodation for a beach trip. Would highly recommend to other travelers!
Beautiful, well kept condo close to beach. We had an amazing time! The pool was clean and great fun to use as an alternative for the beach! Already planning a return trip!
Lovely property, clean and well maintained. Provided everything for a short stay, and more! Excellent location within walking distance from the beach and so peaceful.
Loved our stay at the Carmel by the Sea. I loved the location on the bottom floor next to the lake and pool. I have already told family and friends about this place and would highly recommend it to all.
