Needs updating

The location is wonderful very close to the beach, but the actual property needs updating. Examples pool area: three of the four lights on the tables do not work, actual pool gunite is old and stained needs resurfacing, water chairs are very old and badly stained. Condo: you can tell the place had been cleaned, but still had an old worn out feel to it. Lot of the baseboards are needing replaced, cabinet doors do not shut. Stove door almost falls off. Dishwasher is on its last leg. Mattresses were good shape, but bedding seems cheap - far from luxury. Place is very crammed and crowded also, Again everything in the place just seems worn out and needing updated. Disappointing.

Great time had by all

This property is excellent for large families. There is plenty of room for adults and kids. There is plenty of silverware and dishes. Pots and pans are fine, but serving dishes were scarce. The 5 minute walk to the beach was manageable with the children in tow. Very clean when we arrived and comfortable for everyone. If we are in Corpus Christi again, we will stay there.

The unit was well-appointed and the decor was absolutely lovely. Everything put us in a relaxed and happy mood. As usual, Padre Escapes was a delight to deal with, and made sure things were perfect and easy. We also had a really good experience renting a golf cart from the Salty Dog.
