About this property

"The Dover" ~ a glimpse of the sea Resort-style condo

One step inside “The Dover" and you'll think you've been transported overseas ~ from the European porcelain tile, to the White Cliffs décor, to the mosaic emberglow fireplace. Indulge yourselves with a touch of Continental elegance at this Beach Club haven for those extra-special occasions just for 2! Also ideal for up to 3 adults or a family of 4, this (2nd storey) 1-bedroom condo is just a stroll to the beach or steps to resort-style amenities: heated pool, hot tub, Finnish sauna, fitness gym + more!

Have a special occasion to celebrate? An anniversary, a birthday, a triumph – just married? – or just plain need some sun, serenity and a glimpse of the sand and sea? Then treat yourselves to a getaway-from-it-all at "The Dover." Relax and view Whitecap Beach from the balcony or take a brief stroll from the condo to the water's edge, you'll feel refreshed and rejuvenated in no time. Sleep soundly on the plush Eurotop Queen-size bed. (TV in the bedroom, too.) Additional sleeping for 1 adult or 2 children in the living room's full-size sofa sleeper. And as far as all your Internet needs, the "Dover" is equipped with fast-speed Wifi, the latest Spectrum cable, and 2 smart TVs, so you won't need to skip a beat with remote work or online school, nor with your favorite programs. It's all here! In fact, you may never want to leave this one-of-a-kind marvelous Padre Island beach retreat! (((Please be advised that the Beach Club property does not have elevators in any of the buildings, and that "The Dover" is situated on the 2nd storey.)))

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!

Dover Delight

The one month rental unit was excellent in every respect. Everything inside exceeded our expectations . Close to the beach, Corpus Christi, restaurants & a variety of small towns. Until the very last week; there were always places to go & things to do. This, our 2nd trip to Texas was interesting, educational & fun. The Texans are really friendly!

Loved the property & location

The owner goes above and beyond to provide what you may need. Responsive and helpful. Unit was clean and well kept. The only thing we wish we had was a rug on either side of the bed and under our feet at the sofa but the weather was unusually cold during our stay so this may not be an issue normally we definitely would stay here again. .

Awesome Property on North Padre

I've stayed in several condos at Beach Club and this one is absolutely the best. Extremely clean and the bed is so comfortable. If you're looking for a place to stay this one must be on your list. I only hope it's available next time i'm down.

The Dover is a beautiful condo with everything one would need for a stay. Richard and Marilyn were so friendly, quick to communicate, and overall amazing hosts. The Beach Club also has great amenities - hot tub, heated pool in the winter, grilling areas, fishing pond. The location is great access to the beach and area restaurants.

Short Getaway

I was very impressed and happy with The Dover. I wanted for nothing, everything I needed was provided. I was only there for a few days and the place was exactly what I needed for a short getaway. The Dover is a beautiful little one bedroom MUCH nicer than a hotel. I hope to return next year.

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Marilyn Wheeler

Host profile image
My wife and I, hosts of Splendid Condos-by-the-Sea, have traveled the globe while serving in full-time ministry. We enjoy returning to our favorite historic landmarks, especially in the highlands and islands of our beloved Scotland where we've hosted numerous tours. But closer to home, we now have a new favorite island to visit – North Padre Island of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Why they chose this property

Having been raised in Santa Monica, California, we are beach people to the core. There’s something about the beach that is restorative and relaxing – the sound of waves, the expanse of the sea, and its wind blowing sea air on the face, and even the sound of squawking seagulls. And for us, a strong presence of God and the display of His awesome power is ever present at the beach. It’s hard to describe. As Vrbo Premier hosts of this splendid condo by the sea we call "The Dover," we'd love for you to experience it all, too. Ahhh, for the simple beach life, we invite you!

What makes this property unique

We’ve named it the “Dover” because from the first step inside – and seeing those shiny white porcelain tile floors, the all-white bedspread, and white throughout– reminded us of the White Cliffs of Dover! We first set eyes on those all-white cliffs from a hovercraft while crossing the English Channel from Calais to Dover. And like that memorable Dover, the condo Dover it’s only a brief 5-minute walk to the beach or a 1-minute drive onto the sand. It’s an amazing place as the Youtube aerial video clip will show you.
