Loved the short walk to the ocean

Beach was nice, neighborhood safe and condo was clean. Had a smell but maybe that’s due to being close to the ocean and high humidity. We enjoyed the pool area as well.

Nice little get away

I needed a break from deadlines, business meetings etc. Padre Island Escapes did a great job in making that happen. The condo was perfect. Smart TV provided a little entertainment and there was lot to do on the Island. The condo was very clean, and everything was in working order. Padre Is. Escapes was a phone call away for any questions. Worth every penny I paid.

Won't be back.

Private Patio! Great location and communication!

If you just need a place to crash while you visit the beach, this works well! The communication was great, the location was amazing, and the pool area is nice and clean. We did not visit the gym. The condo itself is very dated. Someone left an open pack of chewing tobacco and their spittoon in the pantry cabinet (we weren’t about to touch it, so we left it there). We didn’t spend much time in the condo as we took advantage of our time at the beach, so for this purpose it was just fine for us. Though the place could use some updating, it was very clean!!

Condo has no blinds on windows. Each window has one panel of a curtain which doesnt allow any safe privacy. Being on first floor allowed all passersbys to look into the window. At night hd to chnge in closent ir bsthroom because you can see through curtain. Condo located in a busy parking area. Truck lights, loud music and drunken fights.

Just OK

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed at several Beach Club condo units, and even owned a unit for a few years. The one bedroom we stayed at had equipment in need of replacement and was not as clean as any of the other units we stayed before. The bathtub was not cleaned properly and even rust stained, and the coffee maker needed to be replaced as the burner had caked on coffee.

Ehh.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in several units at this property over the years. This unit was not so great. Past units we stayed at were in better condition. Most felt like the owners vacationed in them too. This unit seemed like it was purely a rental, was filled with deferred maintenance and smelled like mildew. I would have gladly paid a bit more for a nicer unit like our previous stays, but there really wasn’t any way for me to tell from the pictures that that wasn’t what we were getting this time. Overall we were a bit grossed out and not sure we’d rent again unless we were confident we were getting a better unit.

Comfortable but Dated

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean and good location. Good amenities provided. Good Wi-Fi connection. Needs some updating like getting rid of the popcorn ceilings, replace very loud and old dryer, bathroom needs updating (rust on the wall/ceiling), difficult to figure out the bathtub faucet. The building access from the parking lot was not friendly to people with mobility issues. It was difficult to climb the steps with luggages, cooler with wheels, and the white handrail was rickety (not sturdy). Parking for this particular condo should be closer to the building, instead of in front of another building. People upstairs were very noisy (happened after 10pm) stomping their feet. And the TV in the bedroom didn’t work...even after following all the instructions provided. Instructions for location of dumpster should be provided. Perhaps we just missed this info if it was provided.

Not Great

My first bad VRBO review. First set back was the pool wasn’t open, despite booking when it was supposed to be, and they didn’t offer any discount…just an email saying “sorry”. Next was the stay. No kuerig, no shampoo, just two cheap bars of soap for the entire stay. The floors were extremely thin and we could not sleep because of the neighbor up stairs, we heard every single step until midnight, and somehow they were awake again at 2am. I’m military and can sleep through anything, my wife and I weren’t able to sleep through this. The mattress was a 2 out of 5 and we were really disappointed. I can’t recommend this place.Giving two stars because the location was good. Everything else was not a good experience.

The resort was nice on the outside but could use some maintenance: hall carpet was old/dirty and handrails on front steps were wobbly. Location convenient to the beach. The condo was clean but could use some updating: laminate counters, old appliances. A dish drying rack would be helpful, otherwise everything necessary to cook was provided. Overall, great for the price. Would stay here again.

This was a great Airbnb to stay in, the quietness and privacy was good. The Airbnb had plenty of dishes and pot/pans so I didn’t have to always eat out. Cable and internet worked really well and finally, a super short walk to the beach.
