Overall the property was clean and well maintained and looks exactly like the pics. Beach view was partial and from the side. I wish they would provide a few coffee pods, sugar, and creamer packets. Otherwise an excellent and pleasant stay.

Great location. Convenient to beach. Pitch the canopy and you're good for the day. Condo dinner chairs have zero support - need wood or metal. Mattress in master bedroom also has zero support. Master bath needs shampoo and soap rack.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the great location and easy beach access—pitching the canopy sounds like a perfect beach day. We appreciate your comments about the condo chairs, mattress, and the need for a shampoo and soap rack in the master bath; we’ve shared these with the owners for their attention. We hope to welcome you back for an even better stay in the future.

Our condo was clean, nicely updated, and comfy. Beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. The grounds and complex are well maintained. Easy check in with text messages giving us check in information and nightly reminders for quiet times. We were there on Labor day weekend and it was sold out but complex didnt feel crowded. My only suggestion is to offer large carts for free or to rent to load up and take things down to the beach.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, updates, and comfort of the condo, as well as the beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. It’s great to know that the check-in process was smooth and that the complex maintained a peaceful atmosphere, even during a busy weekend. We do have a cart available under the stairwell next to the main gate, but we appreciate your suggestion about offering large carts for busier weekends, we will bring that up to the HOA. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay!

It's easy to have an exceptional experience with us when we have exceptional guests like you, Barbara! With Padre Escapes, we always strive to give each and everyone of our guests the relaxing stay experience they deserve! We hope to see you enjoying another stay at El Constante in the future!
The property was great, staff was very nice and communicated thoroughly. Only issues we had is the guest bed was not comfortable at all and squeaked everytime you moved, so our baby kept waking up when we rolled over, also none of our patio doors would open, they were all stuck so we we did not get to use the views, the pots were old and gross so we couldn't cook, and there was a patch in the ceiling in the livingroom that looks like it's had a water leak, but everything else was good. Proximity to the beach was perfect and we did not use the pool, but it was gorgeous.

The condo complex is in a great location with easy access to the beach. Padre Escapes was great with communication and addressing any issues. The condo is cute and updated and has all the standard amenities. We had a couple of minor issues but Padre Escapes took care of them. One suggestion to the owner is to add another curtain panel in the guest bedroom. There was a big section in the middle with only a curtain sheer and the light from the parking lot was pretty bright coming into the bedroom.

El Constante's location is our absolute favorite. I wish they had more dog friendly options and allowed us to use the washer and dryer in the rooms like they used to. Also the coffee pot did not function well, had no timer and had to be restarted every morning as it would only make a tiny amount of coffee on the first rub every time. The master towel rack wasn't attached to the wall on one side but made to look like it was. We love El Constante and will stay again but there are some things that have gone down hill I wish they would fix.

It was very pleasant. The rental met my family and friend's expectations. Great location. Clean and comfortable. Only complaint was there was no ice maker, on the fritz, and the coffee maker was on it's last legs. Hard to have cold drinks and hot coffee in the morning to watch fantastic sunrises! Not much was done to correct the issues after management was notified. Overall, great experience and would recommend the rentals to friends and family.

I will remember this room number and never stay here again nor would I recommend this room to others due to the beds needing replacement including their bed sofa.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re glad you noticed the updated floors and kitchen, we sincerely apologize for the uncomfortable stay you experienced, as this is not the level of comfort we want for our guests. We did not see any notes of this issue being reported during your stay, and we always encourage guests to reach out during their visit so we can address concerns right away. After your stay, we did identify a broken box spring on one of the beds, which has since been replaced. Additionally, the sleeper sofa couch and loveseat were fully replaced in December 2025. Your comments have been shared with the owner, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide a more comfortable stay with Padre Escapes.

Reviewer Comments:
I will start with the positives:Great location, the beds were decently comfortable, the unit is updated, AC worked great, water heat/cold was great, the toilet paper was enough, and the building was quiet even though sold out. Unit was very easy to find, and close to the stores, a great coffee shop and lots of great restaurants. The negatives: the photos are either really old from when the unit was first renovated or heavily photoshopped.*The ice maker was broken - there was ice trays provided so it was apparent this was known.*The shower curtain rod was broken in the 2nd bathroom*the faucets in the shower were hard to turn*the sink in the master would not drain*the master shower drain kept clogging*tons of paint peeling from doors and walls*dishes were dirty - lipstick on the mugs and food caked on the plates. It made me question all the dishes so we hand washed everything.*the couches were very dated, sagging and uncomfortable *the chair in the corner was horrible smelling- like a combo of dog urine / musk*The downstairs units are setup like a motel, which was really odd and they had multiple families staying in one small unit*no one was abiding by the "pool bracelet" rule - we saw a lot of people go in the unlocked gate with no bracelets, swim then leave in cars that did not have the parking pass on them. the pool was overrun, crowded and people with loud music.I feel like the unit could be great but the lack of maintenance makes it unappealing for the price. It did not look like the photos on the site.
