Memory filled trip

We were looking to go back to Port A after 4 years of not being to the ocean! We found the perfect spot not too far from beach access! It made for a great time and easy access with great amenities when we were not on the beach

Family time

We loved the place, it was clean and organized, with everything needed to make our stay comfortable, beautiful view. Easy access to the swimming pool. Just one thing I recommend, at least for our type of family or more than two adults with kids, to place TVs in the rooms, we only had one TV in the living room.

This property is clean and has the essentials. It does not provide any "extras", so exactly 6 towels, no extra bedding (thin blankets), no coffee filters, etc. There were a few issues at the property when we arrived, and the management company was quick to fix them. We loved the deck overlooking the pool and canal. The pool and hot tub were nice, and we liked that they were on the deck by the water. Great location with quick driving access to the beach. This is an older property that could use some updates, but for the price and location it is a winner!

Reviewer Comments: enjoyed the hot tub, beds were comfortable accurate description of property, easy check in and check out. Padre Escapes kept you in the loop if there were incidents such as wifi down etc. Everything was great. Only thing I would recommend is the main floor carpet should be shampooed. Had a quiet relaxing 2 month vacay.

Nice Condo short drive from the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was overall great. There were several nights that a group of 14/15 year olds spent hours yelling and diving off the dock by the pool. (Well past 11pm) I have no issues with people being in the pool past 11, but would have been nice if they had been supervised by some adults to keep down the noise. Our condo was very nice and clean.

Visit to the Texas Beaches

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the location was great , just across the canal from my my daughter who we were visiting, but we had the furniture was dated . The kitchen was well stocked but would recommend adding more towels in the bathroom groom and kitchen. The common area was wonderful, pool water was clean but the jacuzzi had a lot of mulch in the water. The he last day of our visit we had sunshine and visited the Lexington for an airshow, was fabulous.

Padre waterfront adventure

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: Have to be honest and say that this was an excellent location for our great escape to the Padre Island/Corpus Christi area. Having two bedrooms and two bathrooms made our escape, with another couple, very comfortable. The wrap around deck was ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails and the overall proximity to the pool and hot tub was perfect.We had only one small issue and a quick call to Padre Isaland Escapes and it was rectified. Overall I give this location a full thumbs up for couples and families for their adventures to the area.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for this inconvenience, as this is certainly not up to our normal standard. Unfortunately, Padre Island was experiencing blackouts due to the bad weather we were experiencing. Still, since your stay with us, we have addressed the issue with the hot tub, as we realize this can be a significant inconvenience to our guests. We have sent you an email regarding your stay, and thank you for the review.

VACA 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I can’t say enough about Pradre Escapes. They helped me find something at the last minute. Answered every call and text quickly. They were very courteous, professional and helpful. The condo we stayed in was fine, beds were comfortable, kitchen was the best equipped I’ve ever stayed in. It was also in a good location. Only a few complaints that could be easily addressed. First the bathrooms should be cleaner, the refrigerator wasn’t thawed and cleaned. The other complaint is a personal preference. There was one tv in living area. I would always choose a condo with TVs in the bedrooms. One last thing, could have better towels. These were similar to towels you would expect at motel 6. Other than that I would stay here again. I do recommend this condo but I will always try to book through Pradre Escapes.

Don’t not use this rental

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental was dirty and not taking care of, the downstairs shower leaks while running, lights upstairs don’t work in one room, the stairs leading up the front door are a huge safety hazard as the wood isn’t even nailed in and you can easily fall through (lawsuit), AC was broken but they still sent out a guy and had them “fix it” then later admitting to us on the phone that the AC unit is beyond repair. We received a portable ac unit that did absolutely nothing for the heat in the place then they gave us another one within two days the until was only down to 80 degrees downstairs and 89 upstairs. Opened the pull out couch as we could t sleep in the heat upstairs and bugs ran out of it. Asked to be reimbursed so we could move to another location and they said we couldn’t do anything until Monday, that’s the day we checked out. This was far from a pleasant vacation and we are still waiting on padre escapes to make it right.
