Reviewer Comments:
The place was perfect for our family of three. We didn't need a big space as we spent most of our time at the beach and with friends. My only complaint is that the people staying next to us smoked outside their place and we could smell it coming and going and sometimes in our place.

The beach front room was not what I consider beach front. I had to be outside my room to see the beach. The room could use a refresh. It’s showing its age. I would recommend this property but would suggest bringing a mattress pad and some throw blankets

There are so few properties around Corpus where you can walk to the beach! We even had a small view of it from the porch. The location was great, pool was lovely, and condo itself was perfect for our family. I highly recommend this spot. The only downside was loud upstairs neighbors, but that can’t be helped. Everything else was perfect.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 June 2023
Thank you for the awesome review and feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall. We apologize for the noisy neighbors upstairs. Fortunately, these are short-term rental properties so the guests change frequently and this is not typically a problem. Please remember to call our office if you experience unwanted noise and we are happy to assist! We welcome you back anytime!
My husband and I had a funeral to attend Monday and took a much needed respite with our little dog. I own a small janitorial service and was shocked there was absolutely nothing needed cleaning. Your cleaning staff does excellent work. And we enjoyed meeting our snowbird neighbors. We hope to return.

Thank you for the 5 star review! During your next stay, please come see us in the office and we would be happy to supply additional hand towels and exchange your linens for fresh ones.
With in walking distance of the beach. Comfortable bed.
A little confusing on check in when listing says you’ll receive check in information day before and we received it when the room was ready, but it was super simple to check in.
Bring extra towels. There was 1 towel per person and with the humidity if you took a shower in the morning it was still wet at night.
Make sure to take the trip to the jetty to see the sea turtles!

We've referenced the listing and are unable to find that information posted. The office at El Constante is happy to exchange towels when needed, and they even have pool towels on offer. Next time you visit, feel free to stop by the office for this service and with anything needed. We look forward to hosting you again in the future and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!! :)
