Quaint condo with great location

Condo was clean if a bit dated. Location was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the pool and the beach. The condo did have a musty smell and may need to have the a/c filter changed. We would definitely stay at this property again.

I would not recommend this unit until it gets a deep clean and some serious updates.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 July 2022
Thank you for your feedback, Lauren. We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the décor in the unit. We see that the unit was booked online but then changed upon your request with photos provided prior to this change being made permanent. Each unit does receive regular deep cleans, but we are still happy to address this concern if it needs some additional care. We are also happy to help you find a better fit for any future stays, and we certainly welcome you back anytime! Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Reasonably priced vacation; great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pool is lovely and the location is great for beach access. Unfortunately the noise level was much higher than I expected from the upstairs neighbors (who constantly sounded like a herd of elephants) and the 4 AC units right outside the bedroom window. I would recommend earplugs. Otherwise it was a clean unit, could use some updating and a new fridge (as this one leaked water on our food).
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Oct 2023
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for this inconvenience, as we know that many come to relax during their stay and could be hard to do so with noisy neighbors. We encourage our guests to call and let us know of any issues during their stay. Especially if noise is being made during our quiet hours. We are happy that overall you had a nice time with us.

Had a wonderful time at El Constante

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: It was great. The only thing I would suggest is they delime all the shower heads around the property. Even the shower head in the unit needed it. I didn't use the laundry room so I cant say how that was. A lot of maintenance was being done around the place but thankfully it didn't affect me. That's a good sign that it's important to them to keep the place in shape. Everyone was so nice. Even the people visiting like me.

Wonderful property for a vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this little place. It is a more secluded area than we have stayed before, and we enjoyed that aspect. Having the pool literally at our doorstep was amazing, and the beach was just a short walk past the property. The condo was nice and clean. The only two critiques I want to mention is that while the bed was comfortable, it creaks and groans very loudly every time someone moves. Also, the metal chairs scraped loudly against the tile floor every time they were moved. That could be corrected quite easily with some felt pads. Overall, we loved the place and the property and would definitely stay here again.
