Very nice condo with a great location.

The property was nice, the weather not so much so unfortunately we did not get to use the pool.

Property was nice and location was right in the misfire of the island.

Home away from home

So glad we chose to book with Padre Getaways. Check in was super easy! The property was very clean and had everything we needed! Super close distance to the beach and our toddlers loved the pool for extra water time. Will definitely be booking with them again!

Grieving and Grateful

The property was exactly what my family needed at the time. We had just suffered through a very traumatic loss and needed to get away as a distraction. The process was pretty seamless and the property was affordable/well maintained.

Annual Family Vacation

First time staying at this condo and we really love the property and it’s location. The condo was very clean and everything we needed they had there. Pool was clean and maintained very well. The staff was great and always committed with us. The walk to the beach was close by and my family didn’t mind the walk. We are definitely recommending this condo to family and friends. Hope we are able to stay at this one next year.

Mixed feelings

The place is really nice and we’ll appointed. It was clean as far as kitchen, bathrooms, sheets, floor but the place is in need of a deep cleaning. The couch is stained and to gross to sit on. I covered it with a sheet. The rugs are in need of actual cleaning, not just vacuuming and the doors and walls need to be washed down. I don’t want to give a bad review as the place was nice just needs some TLC.

Fabulous

The Condo was a perfect place right in the center of south Padre. It usually only took us about five minutes to get to anywhere we needed to go. You walked down the block and you were at the beach and when you didn’t have the energy you could just walk down the stairs to a pool. Would definitely recommend this condo!!!
