Most everything was absolutely perfect, as always! The only exception was the bed. We ended up sleeping on the chair and couch because the bed was so stiff and squeaked with even the slightest movement. With that said, we’ll happily return! The view is amazing. The sound of the crashing waves on the beach heard from the unit’s front door is amazing.

Thank you so much for your sweet review — “as always” truly means the world to us. 💙🌊 We are so sorry to hear about the bed experience, though. That’s definitely not the level of comfort we want for you, especially if it led to couch and chair sleeping. We'll share that with the team for possible solutions. It makes us so happy that the view and the sound of those crashing waves still made your stay special. There really is nothing like opening that front door and hearing the ocean right there. 🌊✨ Thank you for your continued loyalty — we can’t wait to welcome you back and give you an even more comfortable stay next time!

Great location

We stayed for 4 nights and we had everything we needed in our condo. Great location to the beach/ocean and the resort pool. There are rocking chairs on the front porch as well which were nice at night. Some good, large patches of grass for our dog as well. Would recommend to anyone and we definitely will be back!

Response from VrboOwner on 7 August 2023
We are glad you enjoyed your overall stay! Unfortunately your TV not working was due to a spectrum outage that affected the entire island however it looks like our guest services team was able to get your TV reconnected later that evening after the internet/cable service was brought back on. We encourage you to give us a call and book directly in the future so that we are able to provide you with a more tailored experience and ensure that the condo you book meets any specific requests you have! We certainly welcome you back and thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

I know it will get even better as they finish these projects. Interior of unit was great, very clean. Outside patio needs power washing and general cleanup. But I am sure will be accomplished when construction finished.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second stay at El Constante and was a good experience overall. The property location is great and the surf facing room is also very nice. The unit was clean and sufficiently appointed. Our mattress was a little uncomfortable but not sure if it was worn or if the mattress topper was just too firm. We had heavy footed upstairs neighbors who seemed to never sleep but that is a chance you take getting a lower unit.

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: Unit #105 is in the PERFECT location! It is: 1.closest to the stairs to the beach 2. right by the foot sand shower 3. neighbors the pool entry gate, 4. has a view of the vehicle entry to the beach 5. is one unit away from the parking lot (still bring a wagon). Very clean (except from all the sand WE failed to wash off, noted for next time). We felt like we were right in the heart of where everyone was driving to. Memorial Day weekend was too short. Definitely would book again!

Wonderful morning view!

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: Our experience was almost perfect. We visited Corpus to handle some heavy family business and wanted a stay on the beach to help decompress. This unit was perfect for that. We had some issues with the wifi and guest services had someone out within the hour to help fix it which was awesome. The only thing that made this unit less than perfect was the bed. It was super creaky and moved quite a bit every time we’d roll over so we didn’t get super restful sleep. This could be an easy fix for the unit owner though. Other than that minor issue, it was a great unit and El Constante & Padre Escapes were great to us.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 June 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad the unit provided a relaxing space during your trip and that our team was able to quickly assist with the Wi-Fi — we love to hear that! We appreciate you mentioning the bed as well; that’s definitely something we’ll pass along to the owner so it can be addressed. We’re happy El Constante and our team made a positive impression, and we hope to welcome you back for a truly perfect, restful stay next time.
