Hello!
Thanks to all for always having good info and being kind to respond! My brother wants to go to Corpus Christi this July! We are on a tight budget. We will be driving. Does anyone know a place to stay that is not too expensive? I have a handicapped brother who can not walk up stairs. We have a family group of about 10. We wanted to stay in a large cabin perhaps? We want to be near the beach so that we can see it, but my brother has to be downstairs.
Any advice? What is fun to do there also? My brother is a pastor and really needs a relaxing place to rest. My family likes active activities! Can you snorkel there? My husband likes that. Is there a beach less crowded?
Thanks again for always having good advise and taking the time to share! You all are blessings!
Sincerely,
C. N

Hi C.! We took our kids on a surprise trip to Corpus last year and had a great time! When I was booking the hotel, it asked me if I wanted to become a "Priority Awards Member". I think that is what it was called anyway! It was free to joi and it saved me money on the hotel and even better gave us a 2pm check out instead of 11am. They still send me emails to save money on all different things and just about all hotels. We stayed at th Holiday Inn on the beach. I believe it was called Emerald Beach. It's the last hotel on that strip so it was great because nobody was just "passing through" all day! It had an outdoor cabana bar, a really reasonable gift shop, a huge indoor pool(which came in handy because it rained 1 day) arcade games,pool table,ping pong,hot tup, shuffleboard,and a ball pit! Plenty to keep the adults and kids busy when you aren't on the beach! Also, that hotel is about 6 blocks from the American Bank Center. I looked and the Ringling Bros And Barnum & Baily Circus will be there July 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th.We saw a concert there when we went! There was also an outdoor fair going on that same weekend so we lucked out! That whole strip is beautiful! Email me if you wasnt to see any of our pics from the beach or hotel! Oh and don't forget; the 1st whataburger built is there and still in business so you have to go there and sit out on their outdoor balcony! It overlooks the beach too!Have fun! We plan on going back soon!

there is a quality inn on the beach - has a suites type situation i believe with one or more rooms .. but the regular rooms are also i believe very reasonable and the stay includes breakfast which cuts out an expense. there is a pool and i think it is all one-level. i also think they are listed in the hotels of the entertainment passbook so if you know someone who has that, it would also be good. they might also have a AAA rate if you have that service.

best to you.

google port aransas or mustang island. They have great beaches and are in the CC area. You could probably find some good deals on a condo rental for a group of 10.

You can check www.vacationrentals.com, www.vacationhomes.com, and www.craigslist.com (for Corpus Christi) and find homes on the beach for rent. I would also write the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau and have them send you information. They will send you a packet of coupons, information, pamphlets, and brochures with all kinds of stuff to do. Corpus is great family vacation place. I hope you all have a blast!

HI, C.. Try www.vrbo.com (vacation rentals by owner). Since most of the rentals on this site are through individuals, you may be able to negotiate the price. Using this website, we got a nice 3 bedroom condo in Panama City Beach last year for $500 for 4 nights!

God Bless!
