Not as Expected

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Reserved this to have a place to stay after losing our home and belongings in the hurricane. We were so excited to get out of the hotel that we had been staying in 3 hours away from where we lived. The place was as pictured, but it was not that clean. Needs updating. Doors were hard to lock going out on patio. Was close to beach which I liked, but would not stay there again. Very disappointed that when we were able to get into our new mobile much earlier than we thought that they were not willing to work with us to give us a refund on some of the time that we did not need. Fellow Texans not willing to help out those in need really disappointed me. We definitely could have used the extra money to help in replacing our lost things.

The only bad thing I can say is the couch smelled like a dog. Will definitely stay here again, will just pick a unit that doesn’t allow pets.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than 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: I do not recommend this place as it was not properly cleaned and there was a strong ‘wet dog’ smell which did not go away. Location was good and company offered to waive cleaning fees but the scent spoiled any time spent inside the condo.

Beach Club Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was nice and clean just wish that there was a coffee table or an end table to set your drinks on. Had to set them on the floor then didn't want to knock them over. Also worried that my phone would fall on the tile floor and could break cause there was not a place to set your phone near you otherwise you would need to get up and down off the sofa to check it.

Good Stay

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 husband and I were very happy with our stay during spring break. The location was just great for our needs, with walking to the beach, and close to restaurants. Our time went too quickly! The only thing I'd rather have had, was a newer showerhead system, it seemed to be old and over used. Also, there was no blanket and it did get chilly. Otherwise, we had no other problems, just a good time!

Beach Condo

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: The unit was clean and inviting. It was an older building, so it had a few quirks to get used to. The maintenance staff was prompt and courteous in answering questions and service calls. The kitchen was small sized as only one of us could work in it at a time. We had to provide our own food storage containers and mixing bowls as they were not part of the kitchen inventory, but all of the cookware and dinnerware were provided. Loved the fact that the beach was a couple of blocks away and walkable. The location was within 20 minutes of major shopping areas and had several local eateries within less than 10 minutes. It's a very laid back and friendly community and very pet friendly. We are returning next year but renting a unit with a bigger kitchen as we enjoy cooking most of our meals.

Everyone at Padre Escapes was very professional and very responsive. The Beach Club pool was very clean and the hot tub warm. The condo was basic but comfortable except for the sofa sleeper which was very uncomfortable. I recommend staying here if you don't have to use the sofa sleeper and aren't planning on cooking much.

Great Long Weekend

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: Easy Check-in, and the condo was in a great location, close to the beach, as well as shops and restaurants. The place was exactly as described, comfortable, with a great TV and the bed was nice and soft. The only thing we had to go buy was coffee filters, salt and pepper. Never made it to the pool, as we stayed on the beach both full days, and went to local restaurants in the evenings. Doc's, Scuttlebutts, and the Boathouse were good. Drove the Padre National seashore for 15 miles. Really cool if you have 4wheel drive.
