I noticed less than great remodeling i.e., patching/painting on walls but nothing that affected our stay. It was significantly warmer upstairs without a separate unit but again did not adversely affect our stay.

Every thing was good till my wife saw water dripping from ceiling. Call maintenance to have check. Maintenance was not able to fix leak coming from upstairs guess bathroom, was told to not use guess shower and would have to contact plumber on next business day. Payed lots of money for suite To only have one shower for my whole party to have to use on our mini vacation.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 October 2023
Thank you for your review and feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay overall. We apologize for this rare and unforeseen issue that occurred during the last night of your stay. As the leak was reported late in the evening on the last night of the stay prior to your departure, after discussing the situation, we opted to have the plumber to come out the next morning after your check-out so as to not interrupt your stay, as our maintenance staff was able to stop the small leak until a plumber could be called out. We certainly welcome you back in the future and would love to offer you the best rates. Please give our office a call directly to book. We look forward to seeing you again and thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

The overall visit was good but I didn't make it to the picture of the 2 cots they considered beds for our guests. All the appliances and decor was outdated compared to other rooms ove stayed in. A leak showed itself under the stove during the heavy rain we had. I would not pick this room again.

Good location on the beach, good number of beds for families.
Good location, right on the beach. At the end of the sea wall. Checking in was challenging because the keypad did not work. It was over 100 degrees so that was not great. We were able to get in within 30 minutes or so. Maintenance replaced the battery in the key pad You must climb stairs for this location, no elevators. The rollaway beds are in a closet in the room. The room was clean. Dishes, silverware, cookware provided, as well as soaps. No shampoo or conditioner, as this is a condo. The furniture is a bit dated and some of the wall hangings look to be falling apart. But it was fine. New looking TVs, two upstairs, one downstairs. Good place for families.

Reviewer Comments:
It was out first ever family of 4 get away. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen all very clean and provided everything you could ever need in the kitchen. All we had to do was buy food and ice. The location of the condo had amazing access to the beach and pool to keep our 3 year old toddlers happy. All we needed was our wagon, chiars and cooler and headed to the beach. The one and only complaint that we had was the washer and dryer needing $2 to wash and $2 to dry and apparently they had a coin shortage. So with having 2 toddlers with you we did have to wash 2 different times while staying in the condo and it was inconvenient and expensive to try and find someone who would give you change as the office was closed. Also the office does not accept cards to get coins so we had to get cash, it was just a annoying. Maybe put in a small washer and dryer would be an amazing addition. Other than that it was awesome and I thank you for keeping it clean and feeling like home. We felt safe and saw the security guard walking the entire time we were staying.

Thank you for your review and feedback, Clint! We are sorry to hear that the national coin shortage had an impact on your stay. For future stays, we are happy to book with you over the phone and locate the perfect rental with a washer & dryer inside the unit. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay otherwise. We certainly welcome you back anytime and thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

process for rental was easy, but required to reserve by phone. at the time I booked, Website were not operational yet.the location is nice and overall I'm happy with the stay with some caveat : unit was a bit outdated, but renovation works are under way in the condo. lots of noise due to construction worker, a lot of dust /debris in the pool prevented us to use it until the workers were out for thanksgivingand subseqent friday. wifi capacity is clearly a problem when there is more people in the condo and would require an upgrade. but wifi was restored during thanksgiving day, so great support here. I'm looking forward to see the condo renovated next year.

We love the location of the property - walking distance to the beach and the jetties. Management company was professional but I did receive several emails to sign contract and return even after I had already signed and returned it. The one thing I was definitely not pleased with was the kitchen - dishes and utensils in the cabinets were filthy! I didn’t go on vacation to do someone else’s dishes therefore we ate out and stayed out of the kitchen!
The condo was absolutely beautiful and the room had 3 different balconies with gorgeous views. The room was clean and the entire property was incredibly maintained. We went for a family weekend beach trip and it was a prime location. The beach is right on the other side of the pool gate and the water was a three minute walk away. The heated pool was extremely nice, as the ocean was a bit too cold for a dip in late October. Can not recommend this place enough. We will be going back.

Stephanie, that is great too hear! Glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and loved the property. You can't bet the 3 balconies with a great view! We love that you experience the pool since you weren't able to swim in the ocean. Always helps to have a heated pool for those colder days we get. We look forward to your future visit with us. Thank you, Padre Escapes.
The rental was so pretty & spacious! The couches & covers in the guest room had been replaced, so the images need to be updated. The location is perfect, it’s right on the beach! They have a spot to rinse your feet off before coming back in the complex, which came in handy so much! The pool had dirt and hair in it the whole time, but it’s hard to complain once you see how many people are in & out of there. I would 100% recommend this property & I would definitely stay there again!
