Perfect place

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: Love that the fishing dock is at the back door. Our boys enjoyed that the most. We rented a golf cart and drove to the beach which was only a couple minutes away. Minus the next door neighbors having a party on back porch, while trying to fish and relax, the house is perfect.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 October 2025
Thank you, Shana! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the fishing dock and the quick golf cart ride to the beach. Sorry the neighbors were disruptive, please don’t hesitate to call our after-hours line if that ever happens again. We’re happy the home was still perfect for your stay and would love to host you again soon! - Padre Escapes

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay. Kids were able to fish on the dock, the outdoor space is lovely. The house was completely clean and with all you can ask for a weekend stay. We didn't walk to the beach, we used the car with the 3 kids and parking is free. I wasn't a fan of the beach because all the cars parked on the sand.

Wonderful Stay on the Water

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The house offers all the amenities one might desire as well as so much more. The view from the deck is stunning and the available dock for your boat directly in front of the home is an extra bonus. The pools, pickle ball court/basketball court, and club house activities offer so much for a family to do. The proximity of the house to the beach and Port Aransas is also great. We will be back very soon!

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The property was very nice. However, the pans were unusable and we had to buy a pan. The utensils were dirty and had to rewash them. The rug in the primary room was sandy and the sheets were not clean in one of the bedrooms. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 July 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay overall, but we apologize for the issues with the pans, utensils, and linens. We’ll share your concerns with housekeeping and management to ensure these are addressed promptly. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to provide a better experience next time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Hello, we were satisfied with our stay. The house was in a great location, the pool was clean and very enjoyable, the pickle ball court was a fun extra activity, and we could walk to a beautiful and peaceful spot on the beach. A few things to note, that may be out of your control: we couldn’t get into the property until 4:30 (I know isn’t a big deal, but we had driven a long way) and the fridge didn’t cool quickly and smelt like fish.

Disapointing unit, great location.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were willing to work with mngt around the fridge that had stopped working, but we were frustrated with a unit supplied with barebones, and neither the owner nor management jumped to make it right. There was no drip coffee maker, or pods provided, no hotpads, knifes, cutting board, bottle opener or firestarter, making our attempts to cook very difficult. We brought a lot of food, even spices salt/pepper and oil assuming little would be provided, but I didn't realize I needed to also bring all kitchen supplies. Pots, pans, dishes were small and bare essentials. We were already trying to make do with no fridge and very frustrated with a unit so poorly setup.

Good location with a few problems

Property location was great. Nice and clean. Fridge didn’t work properly when we arrived but started to about half way through our stay. Lots of bugs which kept us on the lookout as we had a 8 month old with us but hey…it’s the coast. Overall a good place to stay

Bay view & boat slip

It was so nice to have this property right on the water with access to our own boat slip. We had a house full with 3 adults and 4 teenagers. Some more of our family stayed a few doors down, and the cousins enjoyed being able to access each other’s decks and fish together at night. The clubhouse & pool were also big hits. Our girls won the Kokomo Yacht Club Karaoke Contest!
