Great stay!

The condo was great. Plenty of room for our family of 3 plus a small dog. The yard was perfect for her, too. The only issue were the mattresses were not comfortable, but everyone has different preferences for that. The property grounds were nice and the pool looked like fun, just always super busy. Overall, great place and a nice sta!

Great service! The on-site team was wonderful.

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: Our original rental had a hiccup found by the maintenance crew. The team switched us to another property with a rate match. While it wasn't our first choice of location, the property was clean, easy to access, and everything it was billed to be. We felt the management team provided a great experience, as attentive as a nice hotel. Thank you!

Perfect for a quick getaway

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: While it's not large it's the perfect size for a three day getaway with two baths and large bunks suitable for adults and children. Padre Escapes does a great job welcoming you in, providing access to what is needed and a quick & easy checkout. My recommendation for the property owner is to buy a more comfortable matress for the bedroom. My recommendation to Padre Escapes is to make sure housekeeping locks the back door. I was surprised to find the morning after we checked in the back door was unlocked, presenting a safety concern.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was the only good thing about this stay. Didn't receive the check in info until after 4pm. Bunk beds had sand on the sheets, for a place that sleeps 8 there was ONE blanket in the closet with sand. Pans & utensils are rusty. Wasn't a happy stay for my family.

It was a wonderful stay for the entire family! We’ll go back for sure!

Staying at Blu was very nice and relaxing. The only reason we gave it 4 stars is because of the construction going on right outside our rental. The place had a cool vibe and the pool, games and deck on site were a plus.
