The house was clean, the dock was perfect to fish off, and the house itself had plenty of room.

The only thing we didn’t like was the MIL suite, one bedroom was on the ground floor, and the only way to get to the other floors is to go outside and up the stairs. I wasn’t comfortable with my young daughter staying down there.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the separate ground-floor suite and exterior access may not be the ideal setup for every family, especially when traveling with younger children. We appreciate you sharing your experience, as it can also help future guests determine if the home's layout is the right fit for their group. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes, and we hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay!

Great Family Getaway!

Great location near the beach and convenient stores! It was very clean, super comfortable beds, kitchen had everything we needed, our sons were happy that we had a private terrace to fish, and the outdoor shower to remove the sand is a great plus! We definitely recommend this place, it was a great family getaway.

Great location, roomy

The property was a great location, close to great beaches. We had a party of 10 stay, and were comfortable. The garage is a nice bonus for extra room and parking. We did our best to not overload the fridge, but still had problems with it cooling, but was not too big of a deal with the coolers we brought and the mini fridge in the mother in law suite downstairs. Overall great stay, and will consider in the future!

It was set up perfect for 3 families. The only thing that would have been nice were some of the few normal amenities like shampoo, pancake pan. Other than that, it was great.

We had a good time the house is nice. There is not a boat dock at this house though which was very disappointing. There is not a fish cleaning station either which made things very difficult. The deck needs repaired nails sticking up and missing planks which is ok for adults but not safe with the toddlers. Overall this is a nice place. Location was great.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Feb 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we truly appreciate it and are sorry that your stay wasn’t as smooth as it should have been. We want to clarify a few points to provide context: the refrigerator issue was communicated as soon as we were aware, and we provided two mini-fridges during your two-night stay to ensure your food and drinks could be properly stored. When the A/C stopped cooling and was unfortunately not repairable, portable units were promptly installed to help keep the home comfortable. Regarding the deck, all decks in the property are designed with a slight sway, which is normal and safe. We’re sorry if the outdoor furniture didn’t meet your expectations; we routinely maintain the space and your feedback will be shared with the owner for improvements. The downstairs unit is separate and not accessible from inside the home, which is noted in the listing. Alternative accommodations were offered to make your stay as safe and comfortable as possible. Your feedback is valuable and will help us continue improving for future guests.

They canceled on me

After 2 hours of straight driving they called me and claimed that I couldn't stay there due to the a/c going out. I'm not upset about it going out or why, I'm more upset that they waited so long to tell me.
