Corpus Christi Airbnb Rules and Apartment Complexes

[Jason W.]

We're looking at getting an apartment in the Corpus Christi area for our trips down there, but would be gone most of the time, so we're looking at the possibility of doing Airbnb while we're not around, et cetera, if not to come out ahead, to at least help cover our expenses. I noticed that there have been updates to local regulations for short-term rentals, but it's not really clear to me if CC is really allowing it... or just allowing people to pay the hotel tax while they discuss it further.

Also, does anyone know of any apartment complexes that are open to that sort of arrangement in an area close to downtown CC? If we do try to move forward, we want to make sure we're not violating lease terms.

Thanks in advance for all feedback.

 Hi Jason - I own 3 properties on North Padre that I rent out and I can assure you the island will never pass any regulations that don't allow STRs. There are way too many part-time islanders and it would cause mass panic with all the owners.  I won't speak to the downtown area though as I don't know.  If you're interested in the island we are selling one of ours down there and it rents like wildfire! You could easily cover the costs of ownership by renting out during the summers.  The island is only 20 mins from downtown so its an easy commute as well.
