Channelview CV105

My family and I were very excited about the condo when booked because we had a 13 year old and 9 month old to keep entertained. Thus choosing a place was contingent on finding amenities suited for them. A heated pool was extremely necessary for us and our young one and at no point was the pool usable due to how cold it was. I reached out to the booking manager and although the responded promptly nothing was resolved and they refused to offer some form of compensation. They stated that pool was 85 degrees on Friday and the morning of Saturday reset to 92 degrees. We checked multiple times and even around 5pm the pool was below 85 degrees the whole time. Aside from the pool issue the beds were extremely uncomfortable and the decor outdated. You will also find small fruit flies/ bugs around the kitchen and living room area. Had it not been for the private pier and kind people we met I would have given this condo a one star. There are many other locations with similar amenities since the pool did not work anyways that you can reserve for a fraction of the price.

We have rented this unit a few times for this regatta and you can see the boats coming in the channel. We keep renting it because of the view and everything is as pictured.

From check-in to check-out, all went smoothly. Our unit was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved it. Our vacation was planned primarily for fishing and this property did not disappoint. The lighted fishing was fantastic and we caught fish every night. The pool, pier and grounds were kept clean at all times. Our children had a blast so we are planning a return visit next year.

This is Johnny Hay , our stay at channel view was great . We have stayed there this year 5 times this year a different room each time . This room was ok but very old school as far as up dated restrooms and showers . The garage disposal didn’t work nor did the ice maker. This room definitely needs to be up dated . The fishing was awesome , and everyone was friendly we love channel view and will be back soon .

Love the condo and would stay again. Issues with coffee pot and perhaps just not knowing how to work, but it leaked water on cabinet while using so might need to be checked and garbage disposal did not work.

Thank you for letting us know! We will look into these issues. We do hope to see you again very soon!

The view of the channel and all of the boats was amazing. It became the hilight of the family activities and entertainment. Thank goodness we had binoculars to see the names and flags. Furniture not very comfortable but was good condition and clean.

The Gatecode provided did not work since the start of to our stay. Had to call the afterhour company to get new code.
Trash dumpsters were far away from property and no cooking spices were provided. Most rental units we have stayed in have the basic spices provided.

Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 5/21/2024

Our apologies for the change in the gate code. It is our policy to not provide spices so as to not risk contamination but we understand the necessity. The dumpster for the condominium complex has to be in an area where a large truck can access it and not hit other vehicles. We hope you will return soon!

We absolutely loved this location. Very clean and secure. We will be back and going to bring family with us next time to share.

Outstanding clean room accommodations. The only negative was the very very dirty windows.

Thank you for being our guest. The floor to ceiling windows are a challenge to keep clean in the wind & salt air. We hope you will give us another chance to impress you!

Coffee pot on pod side seemed blocked so could not use. No dishwasher soap provided and only one tiny round soap in bathroom. Not able to use TV in living room seemed stuck on one channel. Perhaps we just did not know how to operate. TVs in bedrooms worked great.

Anonymous from Granbury - Posted: 4/18/2024

Thank you for being our guest. Our inspection notes indicate that dishwasher pods were left for your use. Bathrooms are equipped with a bar soap, shower get, shampoo, conditioner, & lotion. If ever you need additional supplies or help with the electronics, you only have to call. Please come again soon so that we can impress you!

The weather wasn’t that good so we really enjoyed the front windows watching the ship channel and all the action at the marina

We’ve stayed at the Channelview Condominiums several times over the years for the Harvest Moon Regatta. It’s a great place where the condos have always been as pictured and fully stocked as stated in the description. The view is great for watching the boats coming in from the race.

Pros: Beautiful view of the channel. My 80 year parents sat by the window the whole time and watched the boats and oil rigs come through.

Port A Escapes was very prompt when we called because we couldn’t get into the door. There was no door plate so you have to push the door in while turning the knob at the same time in order for the lock to disengage. Condo was clean. Trash bags, sponges, dishwasher tablets were left to use. Easy access to the condo with text messages sent to your phone for check in and check out.

Cons: The water in the front bathroom shower doesn’t drain so you’re standing in water the whole time you’re having a shower. You have to hold down the toaster handle the whole time or the handle pops back up.
The fees added onto the bill.

We spent two months in this rental and enjoyed out stay. The view out of our window of the U of Texas Marine Science Center marina and the shipping channel are wonderful. We especially enjoyed the outdoor pool and the lighted fishing pier. The property management company is great. Any problem or issue is addressed in a very timely manner.

We have been staying here for almost 20 years and we love it. Our only complaint would be that the floors were very very dirty. Our feet were black if we were barefooted in the condo. House keeping could improve in that category.

We haven’t been to CV since Harvey. They made a lot of great renovations. I love the gate to keep people out that shouldn’t be there. I love the wristbands, however, I saw a lot of low life’s that must have been let in by a guest. Not one wristband on. They need security to ensure everyone is wearing one, if not boot them out.

The condo was comfortable, clean and well appointed. We enjoyed watching ships come and go from our large living room window or the pier. It was quiet on the weekend despite the obvious construction during the week. Cable was not working and was difficult to get fixed. Despite this we will go back. We loved it.

The rental part of our stay was easy. Rooms were nice and clean. Our problem was with the A/C unit which we reported and a service tech came to repair. Next day we had the same issue with the condo not cooling. We had other things scheduled that we didn't bother with it anymore. The pier was clean but the weather was crazy! Unfortunately the channel in front of the pier was dredged just a few days before which caused us to get caught a lot and we lost a lot of tackle because of it. We still had a lot of fun and always have had in the past. Still the A/C system needs to be looked into. Thanks, Art

So sorry to hear about your issues with the ac, this has been repaired. We do looking forward to having you stay with us again.

Everything was wonderful as always. We have stayed here about for times and always enjoy it. The only thing about this last stay was that when we were checking out the maintenance worker put a sign on elevator stating it was under maintenace yet allowed house keeping to load their linens while we had to go up and down stairs to load our cars. Very upset about that especially since it was done during check out time.

Fourth time we have stayed at Channelview, twice in 211 and twice in 105. 105 stay is due to the elevator to 105. All four stays have been very enjoyable. Property has always been clean and in good repair. Fishing off the dock, when fish are hungry has been productive, at least fun. Look forward to our next stay. Thanks for an enjoyable time, BL

Enjoyed the spacious rooms in this condo. Plenty of natural light and having a washer and dryer is a must have for fishermen.
Very quiet and no problems with the internet access.
Parking is under the condos so you stay dry no matter what.

This Place was perfect for our 2 families. There was plenty of room and everything we needed for all of us. We enjoyed the view from the room, how close it was to the beach, and the pool and fishing off the pier. The First night we were there, we saw a few sea turtles right outside the building next to the pier. And it was so much fun watching the dolphins every night swim around all the fishing poles off the pier as well. The place was well stocked with all the necessities and close to everything. Port A Escapes was helpful and friendly! The check-in and check out process was simple and easy. Everyone had a blast and we plan on staying again. We would highly recommend this place to anyone!!

The only complaint we have was that the condo wasn't very clean when we got there. We had to sweep up broken pieces of green glass, there were crumbs on kitchen counters, long dark hairs all over the floor in back bathroom, and the shower has mold in corner by door.

I was so happy with this condo & the location. I dont think it could have gotten any better actually. Right in town near all the restaurants & fishing boats. Did not have to go over to the public pier to fish at all because we had our own private pier there that only guests at Channelview had access to. The residents that live there year round were also so friendly to us. Cant wait to go back in the summer with all the family. Port A Escapes makes it so easy on you. Will not use anyone else in the future. Also forgot a entire bag of laundry at the condo & they are sending it back to me.

This condo was perfect for our family of adults and children both. The rooms were spacious. the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied. the view of the canal and the marina was beautiful and exciting when the big tankers came in from out to sea the children and the grown boys loved this. The access to the private pier was great for the fishermen in our family. The pool was a nice escape from the beach and ocean water. We enjoyed our stay very much! We will be using Port A Escapes again and will recommend it to friends and family. The only problem we had was the construction worker hammering and running hand tools before 7 am on Sunday morning. We weren't the only quests complaining.

We loved the condo ! It needed some hangers in the closets to hang up the clothes in our suitcases , though, and the wifi password given on the paper wasn't the right one. We called the front desk and they told us the code.

Family vacation. Good location. Very small elevator. No outside balcony. Nice windows in living area. Good access to private fishing pier. Gate code didn't work. Outdoor grills and tables. Overall nice unit and fun to stay on the channel and watch boats, seagulls, dolphins, etc. Really close to restaurants and the piers. Recommend driving down to Mustang Island for beach as local beach is not nearly as nice.

Anonymous from Austin - Posted: 5/27/2015

Our stay in Port A was mainly meant as a little fishing trip, and I have to say that these condos were well worth it. The rooms themselves were great and the private pier is absolutely awesome! Tip: head out there between 12am-4am and enjoy catching tons of topsail gaff (big sea catfish!)
