Kids loved their room with its own shower/restroom.The downstairs restroom was hot and felt no air in it so we just closed the door and went upstairs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful family vacation! The condo was clean and beautiful! It had everything we needed and extra beach supplies to take to the beach! Our minivan and golf cart fit perfectly in the garage! We were able to drive to and from the beach in our golf cart which was really fun! We have stayed at several places on Padre Island and this place has the best pool! We loved that this condo was facing the pool and has gas grills near the condo! Check in and check out is so easy it’s sent to you and you do it all on your phone! Oh and there’s a Stripes store a few steps away! Loved our stay! We’ll definitely be back!❤️

Best winter ever! 🌞

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: We escaped the frigid Ohio winter weather and spent it enjoying Corpus Christi. Our condo at Palm Bay Village was everything we hoped for. It has literally anything you could think of or need. We like to cook and they have every utensils and cookware conceivable. There are also gas grills throughout the complex that are free to use. Everyone was friendly and polite. The pool is right outside the awesome patio. The condo is open and spacious. The beach is right down the street. Only about a 10 minute walk. If you want to park on the beach, be sure to stop at the Stripes station across the street from the condo to buy a parking pass ($12).

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We try to grab a Palm Bay condo every year we come to Padre - they have the best pool for the days or hours when the waves or weather are too rough for the beach. Best pool we've found in the area hands down with great plants too. A 90 second drive to the beach.We love this unit's 2 car garage and best patio view of the hummingbirds in the morning. Has all the kitchen appliances you will need. Clean and comfortable. My kids love that the bedrooms are upstairs.

Pool security and pool grado

We love staying here, is our second time, location is convenient and we have pool access from rm. This time there was a security guard doing rounds, which is great. There was a younger guy the first couple of days. But the 3rd day was a different security guard and he didn’t understand the meaning of diving, he told us kids couldn’t jump into the pool, they weren’t diving!! Families were living the pool for this reason, kind of intimidating to have someone calling you off when you are doing nothing wrong. Also the grado wasn’t working nor the other water features, not sure why they get turned off early, if most people are the pool in the afternoon. We saw they were working in the morning, but when would get there around 6p they would be off. Thanks
