Thank you for your review! We’re glad you and your family enjoyed the pool, beach access, BBQ pits, and friendly, clean property, and we hope to welcome you back soon.
The stay was great for our annual trip. Clean and minimally decorated. All information that was provided was accurate. Unit is located in front of the pool and play area and it's a short walk to the beach! Best place we've stayed in all of our years coming to the island. We will certainly stay here again.

This was a tripped planned around our toddler aged child before we have a second child soon. The home was clean and very nice. The grounds were clean and I absolutely LOVED the pirate ship play area and the amazing splash pad kiddie pool area. It made just relaxing at the room between activities perfect and kept our child very entertained.

The townhouse was new, clean and very comfortable for our family! Property management was great at responding to any questions! A big thank you to Stephanie who drove out to the property at 10:30 at night when we locked ourselves out of the unit. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

Had a great stay again! Everyone had a great experience, for the krusty crab the only thing I would suggest is adding more kitchen necessities (large bowls for mixing and more pots and pans, also the beds pillow need to be updated they are very flat. Just suggestions!

We had such a great stay that we are already planning to go back! Our townhome was so cute, it was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was decorated so tastefully. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay with my family. The pool was right outside of our front door! The pool had plenty of seating. This townhome is also located right across from the beach! What a great getaway! I can’t wait to go back! Padre Escapes does vacation right!

Didn’t find ourselves in need of any extra amenities. Everything was provided. Close to the beach and was quiet at night. Check in would have been easier if we weren’t sent the wrong unit number in the text/email, but that was sorted out by a quick phone call.

We had a great stay at the Krusty Krab! Wonderful location, right next to the pool and picnic tables, close walk and drive to the beach. The rental was mostly stocked with everything we needed. However, we did have to purchase dish soap and hand soap for the bathrooms. Also, the fridge is not hooked up to the water line, so the ice maker and water dispenser did not work. But ice trays are provided. Other than that, it had everything we needed.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay at the Krusty Krab! We’re happy you enjoyed the location and found the rental mostly had what you needed. We do provide dish soap as part of our starter amenities, along with soap bars in the bathrooms. Thanks also for mentioning the fridge setup — we hope the ice trays were helpful. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed every minute of our Corpus Christi vacation! There were four adults and a child and we had plenty of room. The location was absolutely marvelous, the pool was spectacular, and the pirate playground so fun. Everything was very clean and well maintained and wonderful. Just a couple minute walk to the beach with it’s super warm water! We invited some friends over for a couple of hours one afternoon (they were staying in a hotel nearby so it would’ve been awkward to invite us over and we were very happy to be in an Airbnb property and not a hotel!) and even with the additional four adults still did not feel cramped. There isn’t an overabundance of kitchen supplies and we really wish a pack and play portable crib would have been available so we didn’t have to bring our own, but we had a perfect vacation and would highly recommend this property! We would definitely return again! Thank you!
