Cozy beachside stay

This was the perfect clean and cozy condo with the most straightforward access to the beach at a very reasonable price. Nice pool and amenities and the baby gear they had was an added bonus since we did have a little one with us. Honestly my only complaint is not about the property at all but instead the app they request you use as it was constantly crashing.

Much Needed Vitamin C

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was cute and clean. It was everything you would need for a beach get away. I would say that we didn’t sleep well due to the flood lights from the complex and lack of blackout curtains. It appeared to be daylight all throughout the night. If you are not sensitive to light when you sleep then it would be a great rental.

Mini Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this particular unit before and it was very nice. I was a little disappointed because the pull-out bed was broken. It did not in any way ruin our vacation. I have been renting from Padre Escape for over 10 years and this is the 1st time we were a little disappointed, but in no way would it deter us from renting from them again.

Clean, bright, exactly as advertised

The condo is clean, bright and spacious for a family of 3. I recommend a noise machine and eye mask if you are a light sleeper as it has a lot of light noise from the complex itself at night. The condo is well kept but the complex looks a little worn. That being said, we had a great time, enjoyed the time we were in the condo and felt safe and satisfied. We will be renting again!

Okay, a bit pricey for what you get

We rent from VRBO a lot, and I have to admit I miss the actual “by owner” part of VRBO. The property was comfortable enough, but not having the comforts of home was a bit disappointing. There are no kitchen staples, ice maker, water in the fridge, or extra blankets, pillows, etc. No beach gear (thankfully we didn’t need it) but generally beach places provide this especially for families who don’t travel to the beach a lot. I know all of that is in the description, but for the price, it should be included. The building could use some upkeep/deep cleaning but is decent and not in disrepair. Building feels safe, and family friendly, the bed is comfortable, pool is nice, Roku TV was nice. We never had an issue with parking. It’s very close to the beach which was busy but clean. most people opt for a golf cart/gator or drive, but we had bikes. There is a lot of road noise, beware. We enjoyed our stay overall, with room for improvement.

Pictures are deceiving

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although everything in the unit/complex pictures is there, the pictures make everything seem at least 25% bigger than it actually is. As a fitness person, the 'fitness center' was poor. More of a room than a center. For long term renters, some additional TP, garbage bags and cleaning products would be nice. I know that it's stated that a renter will need to go shopping beyond initial setup items, buying these items even in small quantities/sizes means you're going to have to either throw must away or drag them home. The unit/complex is very quiet and located close to the beach, shopping and entertainment/restaurants. Out of control of the complex, but the weather, constant clouds and WIND, not my thing. Regarding 'would you recommend', probably not, but that's very personal.

4pm Check In?

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The rental itself was fine, great location! Had everything we needed. The rental company on the other hand was not great. I requested a noon checkin, I know that's early,and they could have said no upfront. But they sent the contract for me to sign with a noon check in time. Turns out they don't care about that contract and don't guarantee your check in time. So we got there at noon and couldn't get into the rental. Not a great way to start off your vacation.

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: there was an issue with the CO/smoke detecter chirping when we arrived and the management sat deemed it not worthy to deal with that night . to be clear the chirping was in the bedroom and would have driven us to leave for a hotel for the night but my husband pulled batteries out. Had it been the detecter on the ceiling in the living room he would not have been able to reach it.

5 Day Stay

For an older property it was pretty nice. The location was great! The pool and area was fantastic. There was dog hair on the couch and the floor when we arrived. The rental said no pets allowed. The bedroom mattress was awful!! We barely slept at night. I suggest they invest in a new mattress. Other then that the place was quiet and fit ours needs.

Good experience

I would stay at this property again. It was walking instance from the beach. I did not care for my location that I stayed due to it being on the end and the traffic was noisy on the Hwy. I didn’t sleep well. Maybe it’s better farther away from road! I thought property was very cute! We had a great time.
