Great getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the layout of the small home, our teenage daughter stayed on one side with her own bedroom and bathroom. I like the closed in patio area to store our beach gear. I wish there was a sidewalk outside to walk our dog but other than that we would stay again.

Great Company and Awesome place

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: The place was just as described and had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. It was clean and everything functioned as it should. The night before our stay ended, we had to take our 12 y/o to the ER and didn't get back to the property until 4 am. I had left a message with management for a little extra time to check out and they responded early in the morning and told us to take our time with no rush and no charge for going past our 11 am time. They were very courteous and will be the only company I will stay with in the area! Thanks Padre Escapes.

I will Never do business with this company again

24hrs before leaving on our family vacation this company sends a text saying they are canceling our reservation for unforeseen circumstances. They were unable to get us another rental. We still ended up driving to Corpus Christi, drove by the location and “we see people walking out of the rental that we had reserved months in advanced” .NEVER AGAIN!!

Perfect little 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: These cottages are too cute. Perfect layout with the rooms on opposite sides. Plenty of living room/kitchen/dining room area. We even had a queen blow up and still had plenty of room. The outside area was the best. Water hose to rinse off all your stuff. We kept our fishing gear and ice chests in the back. Just enough privacy! The shared pool was fun. Family friendly and a nice break from the beach. We loved it so much we booked another stay next month. Padre Escapes has been our go to booking for the past 2 years. I will always use them. Very kind, easy to get a hold of (if needed) and always a super nice staff.

Never again!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than 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: I have stayed at this location over the last 5 years and I have never had a problem like this before. I will not be staying at this location again. The weeds were overgrown, the pool key did not work, the wifi did not work, the master bathroom sink did not drain, and worst of all we fought off coachroaches from the moment we walked in to the minute we left. Totally disgusted with this rental!

Our mini weekend stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Condos are lined up so cute and colorful! The donut shop is right down the road. Our stay was a quite and short one. The condo was nice that it was separated in half with 2 full bathrooms on each side. The furniture is little the couch was small and the dining table was as well. Like a starter home for a couple. The pool is walking distance from the condo maybe about 6 condos down. There is a restroom to use and a outside rinse off station on the gated pool area. The only thing that was upsetting to me was there were roaches in the kitchen area. I pulled out to get a fork and there was a roach. Then few minutes later there was more roaches coming from underneath the bar top in kitchen. I did take pictures and I also used my reservation paper so the date was included. I also called and informed the office of the matter. There’s a AIRFRYER! Whooo hooo

Wonderful 2 month break from winter

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: My wife and I stayed at this cottage for 2 months this winter and had a wonderful stay. The cottage is nicely located on the Padre Island close to all conveniences. It is in a quiet neighborhood with some units rented and some permanent residents. It a very spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath unit. It is well maintained and managed by Padre escapes who were a very "hands on" company. They even sent us a notice that there was a watermain break nearby and we may be out of water which allowed us time to pick up some extra at the local cvs store. The only shortfall in the well equipped kitchen was the lack of a kettle and no bbq. The beds were very comfortable, the sofa bed, well its a sofa bed , enough said. Great stay, great location and most of all fantastic people!! We are already booked to return to Padre Island. We love being winter Texans!
