This is our second time at this condo and it’s our favorite one. Super close to the beach and accommodates a family of 6 comfortably. It’s very clean and the property management team communicates very well. The toilet flusher broke and it was repaired within 15 minutes without disruption to our vacation. Highly recommend this place and we will be staying here again soon!

Thank you for your feedback! While the complex is actually very close to the beach, we understand that when you're carrying gear, the walk can feel much longer. The best option is to grab a beach pass and drive right onto the sand—you really can’t beat that convenience! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon.

Cozy Beach Stay
we love the looks of the place and the fact that most of the cooking utensils are provided. The place is located right across the beach so it extremely convinces, my cousin didn't feel the urge to strangle each other so I say this was a successful trip at a very cozy room.

Wow! Thank you for your awesome review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We always strive to provide perfect, 5-Star service & accommodations! We would be happy to welcome you back anytime and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes.
The place was clean and great location, well stocked with necessities. The only issues we had was the couch was very sunken in and uncomfortable and the hot water ran out after one shower, so after 1 person, the rest of the family had to shower in lukewarm water.

Great place a block from the beach especially if you have a large family (we have 6). no loud neighbors, everything was clean, and the pool facilities were great.The pullout couch needs some TLC. This is the third time we've stayed here and it just keeps getting worse. That's my only non-positive comment.

Thank you for your continued trust in staying with us — we’re so glad you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and pool facilities, especially for your large family! We truly appreciate your honest feedback about the pullout couch. We’re sorry it’s been a recurring issue and will make sure it gets the attention it needs. Thanks again for sharing, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!
This is our first stay in Corpus Christi. We enjoyed the condo. It was clean and well stocked for what we needed. Communication was easy through text with property management. Picked up groceries curbside at HEB on the way in, and the condo was a quick trip over the bridge. We brought our small dog, but there was no grass area unless you crossed the street. The pool was nice, but we spent most of our time at the beach. I wish the City would rake up the seaweed! Some people brought a rake with them, LOL. Nice to be able to drive on the beach and back our truck up. The water was nice and clear, and you could wade out for quite a ways in shallow water. We would definitely come back again and stay in the same condo.
The unit was spotless and charming, with a kitchen that was fairly well equipped - though it only had one cutting board. We received the check-in details just one hour before the advertised check-in time. Overall, it was a lovely stay. One note of concern: The check-out link was sent more than 12 hours before our scheduled departure. At around 9 am, we did a final walkthrough to ensure we hadn't left anything behind. After closing the door and getting in the car, but before I clicked the Check-Out link I was sent, we were approached by the cleaning crew, asking if we were finished and leaving. It felt premature and a bit unprofessional, but we confirmed that we were done. When I clicked the check-out link, the message read, "You have already checked out," which we hadn't. The timing of that message, combined with the cleaners approaching us before we'd officially checked out, struck me as odd and unsettling.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We’re delighted to hear you found the townhome spotless, charming, and well-equipped for your needs. We appreciate your suggestion about adding an extra cutting board and will work on improving that.
We also want to sincerely apologize for the confusion and discomfort caused during the check-out process. We understand how important it is for guests to feel respected and at ease, especially during departure. Your feedback regarding the timing of the check-out link and the cleaning crew’s early arrival has been shared with our team to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We’re committed to providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for all our guests and hope to welcome you back soon for an even better stay.
We loved this property and it's location. Nice and clean. Just a short walk to the beach. Perfect place for a weekend (or week long) get a way. Very relaxing.
This is a great place for a small family. The bunk beds are a hit as long as a toddler cannot climb. The Pac Man game occupied the kids time while getting ready.
The place itself was nice. The location is close to the beach and the room was clean. The garbage disposal was broken which kinda made the sink stink but that happens. What I had a problem with was that our room’s pool key was missing when we checked in. I contacted the management and they said they would drop it off but after contacting them several times no key was ever given to us. I contacted them the next morning to say how disappointed I was with no key being given and they didn’t even offer an apology. We booked this location specifically so my three kids could use the pool and splash pad, and we weren’t even able to utilize them because we didn’t have key access to get in. Again, room was great, but the property management’s handling of my concerns are why I am rating it with a 3

Hi Danielle. I am so sorry to hear this. We have let our maintenance team know about the garbage disposal as those sometimes trip the breakers. We are sorry it was not working! The pool key's are meant to be in the units before every check-in but we failed to ensure this for your stay. We are so very sorry you did not get to enjoy the amenities. We sent one over to your unit and it must have been miscommunicated. We heavily apologize for the inconvenience.
We had a great stay. It was exactly as listed. Everything very nice and new. No mildewy smell (which is hard since you're on an island.) The only problem we had was contact with the property management company. During our stay we lost water service. We didn't know it was the whole island and called the emergency maintenance worker listed. No response that day. No response the next day. No response the third day. We never heard back, period. We had to find out about the boil notice at the convenience store. This was something that should have come from property management. Other than that. We loved our stay.
This was a great place to stay for my husband and I on a beach weekend getaway! Very clean and comfortable property. It was about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach around the corner. We brought our dog who loved it there. Our only wish was perhaps a few more grassy areas for pets but otherwise no complaints! Great place!
My family and I had a great time. We enjoyed our unit. Very clean, spacious, great amenities, true home away from home. Having young children the pools, splash pads, And playground was the cherry on top.
Clean and nice place to stay. The whole family loved the arcade ms pacman game. A little family competition had the whole family trying to beat the high score. Also this place was very quiet and peaceful.
Property was super cute and clean. Close to the beach which was a plus Dryer! Dryer wasn't heating and they had maintenance out within the hour to repair it. Perfect for two adults and 3 teens!
