| 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 next year! the view waking up every morning was spectacular, the walk to the beach was short, the pool and hot tube were wonderfull, but the location was awesome. |

| 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 hottest local restaurants. The great thing is it is a small complex so it is very exclusive. We enjoyed the closeness to the beach something rare on SPI. Very few condos are this close to the beach. The other great feature is that it is a ground floor condo, so there are no stairs to carry beach gear down, and no dunes to climb over. This is a very unique property and I would highly recommend it! |

| 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 walk right out onto the beach. There is no doubt we will be retuning to this condo! |

| 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! |

| Perfect vacation spot for my surfer family! Spectacular blue clean Gulf waters with plenty of fun swell. This condo is absolutely beautiful-complete with all the latest, top-of-the-line details and comforts. Everything was immaculately clean and fresh. The location and view were unbelievable. True, unobstructed beach front! Mr. Raposa is a pleasure to work with and very responsive to any issues. We're already planning our return trip next summer! |

| This place is AMAZING--The condo was a perfect place to stay my 3 teenagers and my mother voiced that they couldn't believe how beautiful it was. We were right on the beach and perfect view for sunrises every morning and beautiful sunsets at night. The condo is perfect in every aspect. Iam planning to return yearly and tell everyone I know to stay at this condo for a perfect vacation. |

What an awesome place! To say we enjoyed our stay is an understatement.
The view is a gift from God. The condo is clean, well stocked, roomy and just downhome comfortable.
We were ages 20 months to 55 yrs old and everyone enjoyed it! The beach and pool are both so close to the condo you really feel that they are both just steps away.
Thanks Ed and Cathy for sharing your beautiful home with us....we are already making our plans for next year!!
Thanks !!!!! |

| 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 happier. |

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. |

| WOW! What an amazing view....What a fabulous condo. Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your condo on Padre. It was exactly as you described. The property had been completely renovated and was lovely with many upscale elements. Your many personal touches and well stocked items made the condo much more than just a rental, but immediately made us feel at home. The location was perfect. We drank coffee on the patio overlooking the beach every morning and gazed at the stars every night. The ground floor was awesome. We were able to walk out the patio door, onto a little grass, then directly onto the beach's white sand. What a way for us to spend a month away from the Midwest winters. It was a pleasure working with you and staying at your condo. Thanks to you, we have found our second home. We have already reserved a full month for 2010. |

| What an amazing view! Everything was exceptionally clean and the master bed was so comfortable we contacted the owner so we could buy the same mattress. We went for our anniversary, so it was just my husband and I. Although it was a very romantic view, it was a great layout to bring kids too. The room is towards the back with two twin beds. We would love to stay at the Sea Vista again. The only part we weren't crazy about was that the TV wasn't in the bedroom. You could see it from the bedroom, but it was pretty far away. Also, the remote wasn't working, even after we changed the batteries. It turned out fine though. We just went in the kids bedroom to watch TV. We normally wouldn't care to watch TV at the beach, but it was raining. I would highly recommend Sea Vista. |

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 medical clinic a visit twice (second time just a follow-up). My Dad's problems made an overnight turnaround upon a change in medication prescribed by Ernie the PA he saw. Overall very impressed with his knowledge and care.
The weather could not have been more perfect (maybe a tad too much wind) but temperature wise perfect.
Loved the remodel work done in bathrooms and the new cabinetry. My husband has a custom cabinet business that does the same quality work as your vanities were. My only suggestion is that the beds in the back bedroom would be more comfortable for adults if they were at least queen size but I know you have limitations due to space.
We took a ride on the pirate ship (printed online coupons for a good discount) and would highly recommend it (especially for those with children) but even the adults were entertained. It was especially exciting when we spotted a small group of dolphins. It was my husband’s first ever real vacation and he is 47 years old. His favorite thing to do was sit on the patio and read while listening to the ocean although we did get him on the ship after 2 Dramamines. He said driving up and back "This is too far to drive" and sounded as though he would not return but a day later his words had changed to "if we go back I want to....." , so sounds hopeful.
Thanks again for creating a home away from home.

| We stayed here with our parents and 2 babies in Oct. the view was breathtaking the condo was beautifully updated and we were ready to move in. We drank coffee on the patio overlooking the beach every morning and gazed at the stars every night. Even saw a shooting star one night. The children were so comfortable here and it was very relaxing for the adults. It was in a perfect location as well. Close to everything you'd want to do. We plan on going back as soon as we can. |

We stayed here for a week in October of 2008 and loved it. The owner had just completed remodeling the unit and did a terrific job! New granite countertops throughout, updated bathroom decor and new carpet and tile.
The access to the beach can't be beat (it's right off the ground floor patio) and was close to the Sandcastle Days competition. It's also easy to get to from the causeway linking the island to the mainland.
The owner was very accommodating regarding payment options, creating a PayPal account at our request.
We definitely plan on staying there again. |

WOW! What a view---What a Condo.
You have helped make this a wonderful vacation by sharing your condo. The new vanities are nice and the bed with the Egyption Cotton sheets is most comfortable, made us feel like it was home. It has been our pleasure stayng at your condo and working with you and not a management company. What a way for us to start the new year.
Sincerely,

| My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in November, 08. From the time we walked through the door and peeked down the hall at the ocean view, all we kept saying was WOW!!! The master bedroom has a floor to ceiling view out to the beach and ocean...so each morning we would awake to a beautiful sunrise...sheer heaven!!! The living room and kitchen also have full ocean views. Since the unit is ground floor, we just walked out the back door to the beach...what a convenience. The owners (The Raposa's) keep the condo in excellent condition with top quality bedding and furnishings. Also, the condo is stocked with everything we could possibly think of including dvd's, cd's, games, candles, flashlights, etc. This place doesn't feel like a rental condo...it feels like a home. The pool and jacuzzi are a short walk away and everything is very convenient. Our honeymoon was a very special time for us and we're so happy we chose this place...we will definately be back! |

| We could walk right out the back door on to the beach...fantastic views of the beach and ocean. This condo is very well maintained...everything was in great shape. Kitchen was fully stocked and had all the amenities. Condo complex was very peaceful and quiet. Nice pool and jacuzzi on site. Lot's of nice restaurants around. Unit had a washer/dryer which was very useful. Great bedding and very tastefully decorated Couldn't have had a better vacation experience! |
