We’re so glad you had a great time! It sounds like the perfect mix of beach days and pool time — and having that heated pool ready when the beach weather doesn’t cooperate is always a win, especially for the kids! Thanks for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome your family back for another fun island getaway soon.

Place was nice

Place was nice and clean and good location. Really easy check in and out. The only issue was the bunk beds. They would shake too much, my daughter had to sleep on the floor. The other issue was in the restroom the carpet is coming off and my son stepped in a nail.

Nice place

Everything was good. I had bought a grill for the beach and it was stolen out of the front breeze way over night but I probably should have brought it inside. That’s my fault but I would tell others to make sure they bring all there stuff inside.

Cute place

It was very comfortable and even more importantly, quiet in the evenings. The on-site pool was lively. I would suggest bringing your own cooking and dining supplies as well as some extra trash bags. If you're a light sleeper, I'd bring a cot. To me, the beds were too bouncy and I had a hard time resting. No one else had the same issue though. All in all. An amazing trip.

Nice town home in Corpus Christi

The townhouse was a nice place to get away in North Padre Island/Corpus Christi. The pool on the property was a big hit with our children (and kept clean). The townhome was equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable. Some items could be added to the kitchen for guests who cook their own meals such as cutting boards, a working can opener, and ice cube trays that aren’t cracked. There aren’t a lot of things to do in walking distance from the townhome, but there are many places to go in a short driving distance. We enjoyed visiting White cap Beach, which was a 4 minute drive from the house. All in all the house was welcoming and clean. We would recommend this place to our friends looking to visit the Corpus Christi area. Thanks for hosting us.

Great time but some disappointments.

The condo was clean except for the floors. The floors looked like they had been vacuumed but when we walked on them our feet were black. They desperately need mopping! The condo was exactly as stated except the washing machine did not work. They did send repair people to try and fix it and they brought us clean towels, but it was not fixed during our 6 day stay. The management was very helpful. Loved the location. We have stayed in this complex several times and have had good experiences.

This property is really nice and the condo was nice, however this unit is infested with ants. We had to have you guys out twice to spray, and one time had to leave the property for an hour at 10:30 at night with kids. When we left there still were ants. Anytime we got a piece of food out they came out. My son is allergic to ants so this was a major problem for us. This unit is right next door to the dumpster. The pool on the property was very cloudy and dirty.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry the ants impacted your stay, especially knowing your son has an allergy. We did our best to respond quickly, including sending pest control out twice during your visit. Unfortunately, being in a coastal environment, ants can occasionally be persistent, particularly during summer months. We also appreciate you letting us know about the pool conditions. The pool is maintained by the HOA, and we'll be sure to pass your comments along to them. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Nice place-needs a bit of care.

Was a nice vacation. Kids loved the shallow side of the pool. Underneath the master bed was disgusting. The upstairs bunk bed was very wobbly. Kids on the bottom had to move beds because they thought the top bunk was going to fall on them. Windows in bedrooms need some sort of curtain so you aren’t blasted by sunshine rays super early in the morning. The drier did get hit but had a very hard time actually drying anything. Overall it was a nice rental. The living room was nice and roomy. Comfortable couches with room for entire family. Kitchen had everything we needed for three days. Plenty of extra towels in closets.
