Good - great employees who are helpful and respond to questions and needs quickly. Catherine, who served wine at the wine receptions, was A+++. Very nice and clean property with great activities - we enjoyed painting a wine night! The pool is large and extremely clean. Proximity to beach can't be beat! The other guests were kind and friendly. Bad - underwhelming indoor accommodations for the cost. Bedside lights don't exist. Though the website list a "kitchen" in which to cook meals and all needed cooking instruments, our room had no stove or grilling utensils or pans to take our meals to use the grills. No places to hang bathing suits or towels. Again, for what we paid, we were a bit disappointed. Overall, we had a nice escape from the heat, humidity, and rat race of Houston. Certainly a much better experience than the negative reviews. read more

Cute place with easy beach access. Great rooms. A little pricey. Rooftop decks are cool. Enjoyed the pool. This is not a resort...don't expect resort amenities or service. Bring all your own beach stuff (towels, chairs, umbrella, etc.) Staff aren't terribly helpful, but they're on site. read more

Another relaxing stay at lively beach. This time we brought our fur baby. Just a heads up for the pet owner, the grassy area has little sticker thorns (see photos) that can stick to your fur babies paws. please bring booties for them. We love having access to the beach and to the pool. The property is very clean and quiet. For families they have a good size fridge and stove top plus oven in the room. It's been a wonderful stay. I can't wait till next time read more

We enjoyed our stay. Clean condo that is very nicely furnished. AC worked fabulous! Pool is large and very nice! Lounge chairs and shaded areas surround pool. Quick walk down boardwalk to beach access. Mosquitos were out (is the season). We had bug spray and good tip- febreeze. It repels them and smells good. read more

No house keeping so u have to carry trash out your self. Go to the office to ask for towels. The pool was warm and covered in mosquitoes. There's nothing they can do about that. Bring a ton of mosquito spray!! There was a fire the killed a whole sand dune. No elevator. Dog friendly was nice. The grills are nice to cook on. The boardwalk is nice to get to beach. I just expected more after reading the reviews. $300 read more

Lively Beach - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

We enjoyed staying in a central location - 15-20 minutes to Port A and to Corpus Christi. It's quite private and peaceful. The property is quite new so everything is maintained well. The pool is nice and the pool area is enjoyable to relax. The parking is close to each set of rooms so convenient. They have grills and outdoor seating. The boardwalk leads to the beach. The beach is public but less crowded than Port A. If you drive, make sure to buy your parking permit. That's why the boardwalk is nice to have too. There is no service - it's a condominium. But the rooms are equipped with a microwave and fridge, full set of plates/bowls, knives/forks, cups/mugs. They also have a coffee maker. The food in Mustang Island is more limited - a couple of fast food options and a nice coffee spot. 15m into CC, there's restaurants and a HEB/Walmart for groceries. read more

Ok people let's start with the no factor...-. Put my luggage down and in a corner to charge my phone and a roach came out to greet me! I pulled back the bed sheets it's a hair. Longest thing I ever seen. I asked for additional sheets and bedding which was brought to me expeditiously. I still felt uncomfortable here after escaping my kids! read more

I've been wanting to take my family on a Texas coastal vacation for many years. An influencer I follow on Instagram posted about her stay at Lively Beach (I'm sure she was paid or comped) and I thought if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for my family. I do think it is a bit pricey, but I specifically wanted something close to the beach, newish, a pool and clean, which is what Lively Beach provides. Customer service was great, as we needed to go to the office daily for paper towels. The bedrooms could definitely use black out shades. Our room faced the pool and the light shining into our room overnight was very bright, so bring a sleep mask. I'm mostly disappointed that the rooms do not have a washing machine/dryer. It was challenging to find a place to dry our beach towels/bathing suits because they could blow over the balcony. We placed our shoes outside our front door and unfortunately my favorite Chacos (and a pair of flip flops) went missing, so don't be a fool like me and leave something out to be taken even though it's a gated community. All in all, I'm glad I chose Lively Beach over a place in Port Aransas or Cinnamon Shores. I'm just sad my Chacos were stolen. read more

Where to begin... The location is convenient to Snoopy's, Scoopy's and Doc's - basically everything just over the JFK Causeway and the highway to Port Aransas. It is also very quiet and peaceful on property. The pool is heated but to a perfect temperature so that it's still refreshing on a hot summer day and the boardwalk to the beach was an added bonus. The view from the rooftop deck was incredible - we had the best view of the lunar eclipse. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. Things to keep in mind before you book: there are only stairs to the upstairs rooms and the rooftop decks - no elevators. The big beautiful window in the room has a light filtering shade, not a blackout curtain so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to the morning sun. All that being said, we truly enjoyed our stay and we are already planning our next stay. read more

This was our second time staying here, and we were really looking forward to it. When we stayed last time, it was newly opened, and some of the units were still being constructed. We actually stayed in a until this time that was under construction the last time we were here. The word "disappointment" seems like an understatement this trip. The property has not been maintained as it should be (and it really shouldn't be showing such wear so soon despite traffic). We literally had black mold around the air return in our room. Their response was "we'll send maintenance to look at it and scrub it with some Clorox). Ummm, great, but if I have to point out something that obvious, what ELSE have you missed? The AC was dripping condensation in the fabric couch the entire time. Again, it is the coast, and it is humid. So, how about you out dehumidifiers in the room to manage that? We've stayed in multiple places in Key West which is arguably just as humid, and that is how they help manage the problems. Finally, the mosquitoes were OUT OF CONTROL. I'm not talking about a few here and there...I'm talking literal swarms of mosquitoes. The property needs to be conducting aggressive mosquito abatement, and that clearly isn't happening. My last review of Lively Beach was a glowing recommendation. We will not be staying here again. Strongly recommend things further down the road into Port A. There are some similarly priced, well maintained and newer options that would create a better experience. read more

Let me start off by saying that Lively beach is one of a kind. My husband and I went for two days during the week because we wanted it to be less crowded. The reservation process went well however I don't know if I didn't read the fine print correctly but we were charged seven days prior one full nights room and then the next day another charge and then the rest of the balance was due the night before. I didn't mind that this happened I just wanted to be made aware somewhere prior to booking. I called several times and talk to somebody that was very nice and helpful but it took a while for them to get back to me because this information was not notated anywhere on the website. Like I said I had the money in my account but I'm just one of those people that don't like surprises - I just wanted to be made aware ahead of time that this was going to happen. The check in process is awesome and very Covid friendly and we did not have to talk to anybody or see anybody, someone texted us our room access code and the gate code hours before arrival and they even let us check in one hour early which was very nice I would say another downfall for us was I didn't realize that we were going to be placed on the third floor and let me tell you if you are not in shape - those stairs will kill you. My husband and I are both plus size so it was a bit of a challenge. We even thought about asking to change rooms but I should've inquired before ahead of time - now I will know for next time! The amenities were very lovely and I like the fact that there was a beach access right next to the property that you could drive your vehicle on if you didn't want to take the .boardwalk And that was another thing about the boardwalk it's not handicap accessible to get to. There are very steep stairs to get up at and it's a very long walk - so again if you have a hard time getting around I was suggest requesting a bottom floor unit (if that's even possible) and taking one of the golf carts to the beach or driving your own car to the beach. Will I be visiting Lively beach again? You bet!! read more

Lively Beach - We "attempted" to walk the board walk but after we saw how long it would take to get to the actual beach we turned around and drove ourself. - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Loved our stay here last month and just booked a return trip for August! Our family of 3 stayed in the 1 room 2 bath with deck and it was wonderful. Super clean and great insulation between rooms. Never heard any neighbors when inside the unit and great access to the beach. Kitchen was stocked with all the basics needed to cook (utensils, pots/pans, cutting board, etc). read more

Our first time down to Lively Beach, this place is incredible! The pool was a great hangout, the rooms are extremely nice and well taken care of. We weren't expecting this to be what is actually is, I would highly recommend staying here, it's a short walk to the beach it's all private and the people are very nice. Stay at Lively Beach! read more

Lively Beach - Pool view from room - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

We just spent a much needed "quarantine week" at Lively Beach and I couldn't recommend it more for an accessible beach getaway in Texas. The beautiful room decor and ultra high speed WiFi provided a comfortable work-from-home opportunity that was the gateway to R&R in the evenings and off days. How incredible to watch pelicans and kite surfers fly by as the backdrop to conference calls. A quick boardwalk stroll to the beach, sunset swims in the 3000 sq. ft. pool, and private, eco-friendly grounds make this a truly special place. Bonus that's it's only a short drive to the best of Port Aransas and Corpus Christi. read more

Third time staying at lively beach. Nice location and great staff. Unfortunately they are not maintaining the rooms appropriately for the price. Pull out couch had several stains and a bad odor and the exterior paint is fading and metal surfaces rusting. Will stay at newer resorts closer to Port A in the future. Great if you can get a room under 200 a night! read more

The property itself was really nice with a pool and access to the beach but the room was not as nice as the pictures. All of the base boards and doorways were really scratched. The glass cups had stains and there was dog food or treats on the carpet. The pull out bed had small dead flys and beetles. We did not stay with any animals. They also did not allow any additional late check out(even for an added fee). Overall It was not horrible but they definitely need some new cleaners especially if they are making you check out so early and paying $600 a night. read more

So impressed with the ease of pre-check in and finding the property. Happy to say I'm spending my wedding weekend here. I have a studio with a window view of the moonlight shining on the Gulf A beautiful first night so far! read more

We stayed at Lively Beach for a week and it was the perfect little getaway! Direct access to the beach was great for the friends that came with us. I'm not a huge beach person but their pool is AMAZING, their rooftop terrace is great for sunset dinners, and the rooms feel brand new and perfectly decorated. I can't wait to come back! read more

This property is absolutely gorgeous! The rooms are spacious, inviting, and immaculately clean. I also love that not only do they have a kitchen area in the room, but they provide actual cooking utensils as well. The beach access is really convenient and makes for a great day in the sand! read more

We just returned from 4 nights in a Studio with full kitchen. The room looked exactly as pictured. The kitchen was missing some basic things like any kind of bakeware to cook something in the oven, we had to use a glass baking dish to re heat pizza and then had to use a towel to get it out of the oven! No oven mitts, no broiler pan which should have been with the oven. Sheets and towels not great for a high priced rental. Loved the roof top deck and pool area ! The pool area could use some shade, the pergola built over seating area doesn't do the trick. It would be nice if pool towels were offered to everyone, we asked and got them and told other guests. We enjoyed our stay because it was quiet by the pool and beach and during the Pandemic this was important to us! read more

The rooms were great for the 4 of us! I loved the clean, modern design of the whole place. We stayed 2 days and had a great time. Highly recommend! read more

customer service over the phone is really bad. i called to cancel a reservation on Saturday, something told me to call back on Monday... they never even canceled my reservation. meaning, they would've charged me half 14 days prior to reservation. that's a customer service issue & did not attempt to return the $29 even though I caught their mistake. money hungry is what I get and that's unfortunate, but I hope the $29 was worth it! read more

We stayed at Lively Beach last weekend and loved it. They did a great job with the landscaping and design of the hotel. It is very peaceful. The boardwalk is also very nice and raised over the sand dunes for great views of the beach. Looking forward to see how the property expands! Maybe one day they will add a bar, restaurant or coffee shop! read more
