Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was in the perfect location with close parking and first floor. The condo including the linens were extremely clean. Property management was present and picking up litter that may have blown in. I recommend bringing tar wipes/solution. There were a couple wipes but we definitely needed more because tarballs were all over the beach. HEB is close as well as other things to do besides the beach.

Great location for beach getaway

Had a family vacation for the weekend at the beach. Easy access and parking for condo. All information for check in and check out was listed on our account and email. Perfect walking distance for the beach and a quick drive if you want to bring beach items to stay for the day. Condo was a great location between the beach and all the local shops and restaurants around town. It was also very clean and had everything you needed for cooking and laundry. Highly recommend it!

Great listing

The property is very close to Whitecap Beach, great area, serene and everyone observed quiet time as indicated. The unit was very clean, the check in/out process was seamless and the unit was equipped with all of the things we needed to use. They no longer make up the top bunk's sheets so you have to put it yourself - not a dealbreaker whatsoever, just setting that expectation. The unit has thin walls so you can hear people flushing the toilet from the unit above us. It was overall a pleasant experience and I will recommend and stay again.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was very 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: Stayed here 2 times before COVID-19 hit and had good experience. For what I was charged I would expect everything to work. Temperature controls on the range are broken so that was useless and the master bath shower head is broken. I highly recommend that some serious maintenance be put into this property.

Dream vacation at Pathway to the Sea

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 rental was perfect for my husband and I. Kitchen had everything you need to eat in, but restaurants were very close should you decide to dine out. The master bath was perfect if you love a roomy shower and the master bedroom storage was good. We loved how close to Whitecap Beach it was, a nice walk or barely a 2 minute drive.We spent almost 3 months here and enjoyed every minute. As with all rentals you run into a problem or 2 and I compliment the owner and Padre Escapes with immediately providing a solution. We have rented from Padre Escapes for 3 years now and I can't say enough about how professional, upbeat and wonderful they are to work with. Any problems are taken care of immediately--from helping you figure out how to use the TV to replacing an appliance. I would highly recommend using Padre Escapes for your vacation.
