Wow! Thank you for your awesome review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We always strive to provide perfect, 5-Star service & accommodations! We would be happy to welcome you back anytime and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes.
Loved this place. Beautiful condo, tons of space and extra beds. Great location and easy access to everything we wanted and needed. Well stocked. Amazing communication and easy process for check in and check out. We will absolutely be back here!
We could not have asked for a more wonderful experience! From booking to checking in, the host was responsive and awesome! The house was so comfortable and the perfect relaxation spot. Quiet, plenty to do and yet we just wanted to be in the house and hanging out on the balcony. Fishing and napping! Best vacation.
Open and clear communication with property which made for easy checkin. Enjoyed property, great water views, pool, and clubhouse for kids. Would definitely stay again!!
