Review of condo

Everything was great except the sheets were too small for the bed in the.master bedroom. The fitted sheet kept coming off and we had to sleep on mattress pad half the time.

Good, but could be cleaner

Overall, a great property for a quick, price conscious vacation. -Great coffee maker -Plenty of room -beautiful deck -pool was clean and well maintained -beds comfortable -kitchen very livable Fixes/improves: -Deeper cleaning needed before new guests. Lots of dust and dirt on floors (had not been mopped in awhile) -Outdoor area very dirty (table, floors etc) A good cleaner and a little paint/TLC would make this property 5 stars. Looked like a lot of the upkeep needed may have been on the larger property owners rather than this room. Would return though!

Disappointed

I was told pest control would show up, they were a no show. Yesterday I was told maintenance would show up, they were also a no show. There was many dirty dishes in the cabinetry. Everyone left left sick, I’m pregnant and I’ve scheduled an appointment with my OB because I had a bad fever from the dirty vents and/or mold. We have booked many times and even over a month in the same condominium with Padre Escapes Rentals and we loved the experience, we didn’t think booking with another party in the same condominium would be any different. Sadly that was not the case. Please make the appropriate steps to create a safer environment.
