Perfect Gettaway!

What a gorgeous spot! The view from the floor to ceiling windows was fabulous - the beach is terrific and a joy to take those morning hikes or jump in for an afternoon swim. If is it chilly, the pool is sheltered and VERY WARM. The kitchen is well equipped and perfect for eating in - a great place to stay for a true unplugged experience.

Beach vibes

Incredible views! Wall to wall windows!! Only thing is if you want see outside, you have to wipe the windows down from the outside to remove sand & moisture with a damp cloth. But that would not stop us from staying there again. You’re on the beach! A corner room!! The entire place was beautiful, clean, comfortable and welcoming. We will be back.

Padre Island Condo

Nice condo with fantastic views of the beach. It was well-equipped for our weeklong stay. One of the two elevators was out of order and the working one was dirty and had burned out bulbs and missing ceiling covers, but otherwise the property was lovely.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this condo especially the fantastic views! Impressed by the cleanliness and fully stocked kitchen, and the decor gave it the "beachy feel" considering it was early December. Perfect fit for 2 adult couples running away from home. Will rent again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So this is a huge condominium and yet only one of the 2 elevators worked and of course it was on the complete opposite side of where our room was. Not to mention, the elevator was a breeding sanctuary for mosquitoes. Overall, The room was great, the view was amazing! And the beach wasn’t over crowded either bc we went after the whole tropical storm Beryl fiasco.

Great views, but condo needs a few updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2nd time in Gulfstream 505 and the views were still wonderful. For the most part the condo is very accommodating; however, the kitchen faucet STILL needs to be replaced since the water will not completely shut off. This has been a big problem both stays. And, while we did not use the hall shower, there was a lot of mold. It's time for some updates to this condo.

Last Minute Trip to the Beach

I spent a lot of time looking for the right rental for my family and me for our vacation to Corpus Christ/North Padre Island during this very unusual summer. I was very pleased to find the Fifth Floor Flamingo Rental! I has not 2, not 4, but it has 8 floor to ceiling windows that face the beach! I was skeptical of the chairs on the balcony at first, but they are very sturdy and lift you up where you can see over the balcony rail and also have a foot rest - and yet are light enough to move around. The rental was nice and clean with modern amenities. The photos of this rental are accurate. We visited mid August 2020 and there were only a few vehicles on the beach. There was plenty of room for all beachgoers. Mark, the rental owner, is very easy to contact if you have questions. We had a very nice time and hope to come back to the Flamingo or one of Mark's other rentals on North Padre Island again someday!

The views are perfect! It was windy when we were there so the two sided balcony gave us an opportunity to stay out of the wind and enjoy being outside listening to the waves. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable and the showers were nice and hot with great water pressure. Very close to shopping and dining. The pool is spotless and 7 feet deep! We will definitely stay here when we come again.
