I’m so glad we decided to book this condo for a last-minute trip to the beach for my birthday. The view was stunning. Easy access to the beach. We loved it!
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.
This is one of the best condos we have ever stayed at on the island and we have stayed at pretty much all the big ones! Mark was phenomenal to work with and we will definitely be renting this unit again!
We had a wonderful holiday weekend at the beach! The views are out of this world and the condo was beautifully decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable. We will definitely stay again!
The rental and location was perfect. Great amenities. Good size for 5 adults and a 4 year old. No complaints. Everything as advertised or better. Highly recommend.
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.
This property was fabulous! The view was outstanding. Fifth floor condo with wraparound covered veranda. Just steps to the beach and a big clean pool. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely stay again!
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.
This is a small condo just right for 2 couples. The views are incredible. The beaches are not crowded. The condo was comfortably furnished. The owner was available to handle issues or questions promptly.

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!

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.

Condo 505 at Gulfstream is incredible! The views from the wrap around balcony are spectacular! This unit does not disappoint as you have a water view from just about every room in the condo. The unit is very clean and has everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely rent this condo again. Also the property at Gulfstream is very nice, they have a wonderful pool and hot tub and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

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.

Nicely appointed, clean. LOVE the wrap around patio! The upper floor allows views up and down the beach! There were spots of paint peeling if of two doors. The kitchen wasn’t stocked with even salt & pepper or ample dishwashing pods. Bring extra bath towels & beach towels! The smart TV wasn’t able to access my own YouTube or movie account (3 star situation).
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!
