VBI916- Big Shell

Wonderful getaway! Great for the family!

This place was great! We were looking for a location to just be by the beach and we got so much more than we planned. Big Shell was adorable with perfect decorations and the pool was amazing! Any and all needs were taken care of and PGCP always answered questions immediately. Could not be happier with everything!

Everything was beautiful and clean. Access to the beach is less than 3 minutes and you have stores close by. The only thing we had trouble with was the wifi, there was no connection.

Great little place that accommodated 11 of us and even then it never felt small with the open living space! Walking distance to the beach was a huge deal to us and it never felt long. Water hose outside the house to wash off the sand was super nice to have. The pool is literally right outside the door and it's huge and goes down to 5 ft. We were also able to walk our dogs on a little stretch of grass in the alley way which had dog waste stations! All in all a great place to stay!!! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back

This is our second year staying at this beach house. This is our "home away from home"!! My family and I truly enjoy our time here, and the home is always clean and well taken care of. Never any problems, and the pool is immaculate!! Can't wait to go again, soon!

We enjoyed our stay again this winter. We found the staff attentive. We would like to have had a little more sunshine and warmth but the units make it easy to spend time indoors as well. We will be returning again next year.

Highly recommend!

Our family loved our stay in  Big Shell.  it was very comfortable and homey. Thanks again until next time.

Overall, great stay. Being only 0.3 miles from the beach was awesome. The unit had a comfortable layout and was well insulated. We couldn't hear anyone in the units to the right or left, or out at the pool. Our kids loved the pool. Air conditioning worked great. The downside was that the refrigerator made a buzzing sound and the dryer required many restarts to dry a towel. We decided that the refrigerator and dryer were not really needed for our weekend getaway, so didn't use either after initial issues. Texting and talking with the management team was beneficial. The team communicates well. We will consider this location in our future beach visits.

Big Shell was beautifully decorated. Easy check in. Place was perfect for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Washer and dryer was nice. We came back home with clean clothes. That was nice. The beach was close enough to walk to. We got a permit and drove on the beach instead. We will definitely come back. Thank you for making our stay easy to love.

We loved our stay! The condo was spacious. It was clean but the floors and couch did still have some sand but we are at the beach so I know it’s  hard to get everything with sand clean. We had everything we needed. We brought stuff that we thought the place didn't have like a blender and air fryer but there was a crock pot and bowls and toaster and plenty of storage for food and good size fridge. The pools were so fun and the beach was a 5 min walk. The beds were comfy and the showers roomy. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed from Thursday to Sunday, Easter weekend. We loved the place so much. The pool is right outside the door.the beach is just literally 5' minutes walk. Everything is so nice and clean as in pictured. Bonus washer and dryer are so convenient. Wash and dry as needed.

Big Shell is an awesome townhouse! It was super clean and we loved it. I would definitely recommend this townhouse to  everyone.

As “Winter Texans” our experience was very “different” this year. We missed all of the things we normally did like attending events, dining out, going to movies, spending time with friends, etc. None of this was the fault of Big Shell at Village By The Beach but due to Covid 19. Although Covid did not take away the beautiful beach! Our Unit Big Shell was very comfortable and we look forward to returning next Jan. And hopefully, be able to enjoy all the “normal” things” we love.

Big Shell was wonderful. My kids and grand children had such a great time in the pools, and playground. Being so close to the beach added a special bonus. The guys went fishing off the jetties. We all enjoyed shelling. Big Shell was spacious for our family of 7 to not be tripping over one another. Perfect for family gathering or reunion. The unit was clean, and well maintained. Premier  Gulf Coast Properties handled our reservation professionally, efficiently. Could not have chosen a better rental management team. Lisa, and Jennifer were awesome.

This stay was AWESOME!!! Everything we needed was there! Walk right out the patio to the pool was awesome, location to beach was great, and the townhome is sound proof. We never heard a single noise from any of the neighboring units. The only complaint that we would have had was the key situation with the pool. The keys stay stuck in the gate and we found ourselves getting up and down constantly to let our kids in or out. The pool was so relaxing and warm. We will definitely be making this location a future stay. As a bonus I don't think we ever even turned the ac on the whole time because the unit was so cool and stayed cool all day. Thanks for the hospitality we appreciated everything.

Great size unit. Decorated nicely. Cold AC. Has old school video game in kids room. Right outside pool so can watch kids. Units have nice patio. Trundle beds had sands in sheets was only minor issue.

The place was very clean and nicely decorated. Very close to the beach and it had all the amenities we needed. Thank you for a wonderful mini vaca for my family.

Beautiful, comfortable & perfect place to stay. Although we were not there for vacation this place gave us the perfect place to relax and retreat. The host was very responsive. We will definitely book here next time we go down to North Padre Island.

Big Shell is amazing. It is close to the beach and is very accommodating. Big Shell had everything you need, from towels to cookware. Contacting management is very easy and they are very quick to respond. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We had a great 2020 2 Month Stay in Big Shell at Village By the Beach on Padre Island. It is well situated with just a short walk to the beach with a great pool area conducive to getting to know other Winter Texans and families. The warm weather was really a treat as well. Our unit was perfect for seniors as it is all on one floor and has pretty much everything you need. The response time from any call we made to management was excellent and the housekeepers were thorough and friendly.

I couldn’t have asked for a better location and value. Big Shell is right across from the large resort style pool but was still peaceful inside. Only a two minute walk to the beach too!

Big Shell is a great two bedroom townhome that sleeps a lot of people!  It was in an amazing location, and was everything I expected and more!

Big Shell was very nice and we can't wait to come back.

The townhome was immaculate and adorable! The perfect place for our family. Convenient and easy to find.

Very close to the beach and the place was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again in the future

I rented Big Shell for my daughter's birthday. She wanted to have a bonfire on the beach with several of her friends. This condo worked perfectly and was conveniently located to the beach. It is beautifully decorated with every amenity you could need. The bunk room was spacious with enough beds for each child to have their own. There was an arcade in the bunk room that the girls enjoyed as well as a large flat screen TV for movies. The large swimming pool with waterfall feature was a big hit and I loved that the condo was right next to the pool. I would definitely recommend this rental and we plan to return as a family next summer. Thanks for a great experience!

Place was well kept. Pool area was very nice. We had a very nice stay.

We loved our stay at Big Shell. The home was perfect for our group and it  is close to everything you might need. A short walk to the beach and only a few minutes drive to restaurants and gas stations. HEB is about ten minutes away which made preparing most of our meals in the condo very easy. We drove to Corpus for dinner and went to the Aquarium on the way out of town. Very accessible and easy drive. We loved it! The only thing we would change is being able to dim the Galaga machine in the bunk room somehow. We covered it with a blanket at night, but it might be something to consider.

Premier Gulf Coast is the best!!! The condo is right in front of the pool and walking distance to the beach. Had zero issues, easy check in. Very clean and comfortable...I did not want to leave.

We had a great time at Big Shell. The place is well appointed. The facility pool is great. Beach is walking distance, though it was handy to get a beach parking permit ($12 at any stripes or HEB) and drive right to your perfect spot on the sand. We enjoyed one day at Schlitterbahn. Two days of great fishing (We parked our boat on a trailer right on the road by the complex, and had no issues at all). I would highly recommend this unit and complex for your Corpus Christi vacation. The pool was lively at night but the bedrooms were quiet. Great bunk beds for the kids. I would recommend bringing your own beach towels, and it would be great if they could provide some kitchen towels (not just paper towels) in the kitchen for drying hands and drying dishes. That is the only suggestion I have - the place was perfect!!

We enjoyed our stay at Big Shell, although I wish it had been longer. :) The townhome was very clean and had very comfortable beds. The pool was steps away from the door. All the comforts of home! Netflix, on demand free movies for the kids, and good tv channels. The beach was nearby, we drove and parked in the free public parking. I never found a way to walk that was close enough. The kitchen was well-stocked. I do wish it had matches and plates that are microwave safe. Nice to have a washer and dryer there too. This was my first time at north padre island, it was nice. I recommend this place if you are looking for a nice vacation rental.

This was our first time staying on Padre instead of in Port A and it was a great choice! Condo was perfect - spotless and beautifully decorated. Excellent location- pool is right in front of the condo and beach access is an easy walk or very quick drive. No more than 15 minutes to Padre Island National Seashore. Several great restaurants close by. It is worth noting that even with the pool directly outside the unit, it was remarkably quiet inside. We had a great stay and will definitely return!

I was so pleased with the Big Shell. It was very clean, and had everything in stock, which allowed us to not have to do without. Everyone, wanted to know the rates, and your contact info. They loved the Beach House. So, I gave them all the info I had, so they could come at another time. This was our Girls Weekend Out Class Reunion. It was fun, fun, fun. I want to go on birthday, in July. Jennifer and Lisa, Thank You, so much for making our stay The Best.

This unit is so beautifully decorated. Everything is or looks brand new. Plenty of dishes, even paper plates if you do not want to wash. Made coffee, creamer and sugar available for our stay. It faces the pool where everyone was having a lot of fun. But inside, we could not hear them at all. That was extra nice. Well insulated apparently. They even had an old fashioned video game as you would see in an arcade. The open kitchen and dining allowed for plenty of room for larger groups or families. I had no issues with the property management. They were helpful and kind. Everything was exactly as represented online. No surprises! Great place. Thanks Premier.
