We loved our time away, the property is comfy, accomodating and welcoming. We had a wonderful time, was able to relax and enjoy our time off. The condo is beautifully decorated, has everything you would need, and all the comforts of home. We were impressed with the location of the property, and the condo is right next to the pool!

Fantastic place!

We really enjoyed staying at this location and I highly recommend it! The location is great with a 5 min walk to the beach and a 10 second walk to the pool! The owners were responsive and kind and made sure any issue we had was resolved quickly. The place could use a bit of updating to make it more modern but other than that, we absolutely loved it!

Nice get away by the gulf.

Comfortable for our week in Texas. The pool was right across from our condo and the ocean only a short walk away. We enjoyed the kite flying day at Padre Island National Seashore just down the island from where we were. A little cool and very misty for the first couple of days but turned nice the last few. Would go there again when the weather is warmer.

The condo was pretty comfortable, but there was a problem with the master bedrooms shower, the water was backing up and I had to use a plunger while showering. The dishes in the dishwasher had not been unloaded from the prior guests. When we moved the coffee table you could see it had not been swept. We pay a hefty cleaning fee I expect the condo to be cleaner when we get there. It was small things, but I’ve stayed in different condos at Beach Club and they always exceed my expectations.

Complicated Stay

We've stayed at this property before without any problems. However this time, as we arrive there ready for beach fun, the condo was not cleaned and ready for us! It did get cleaned in 90 minutes, but was a set back for us and caused problems with plans we had already made. However, when the cleaners left they did not complete the job and we had to look for towels in drawers and sheets for extra bedding. Other problems occurred later. We will not be staying in this condo again, but other rental condos in this complex are great but with none of the stipulations that this one has.

Nice Place By the Beach

My husband and I brought our grand kids to the beach for fun and fishing (the grandson). The condo is nicely decorated with good furniture, decor and kitchen paraphernalia. The location at Beach Club is on the end of the condo row, so parking is easily accessible. Also, its in front of the pool, so that's also easily accessible. The fishing was great for my grandson between the beach he look walk to, and the community pond. He caught many fish, big and small! We really enjoyed our stay even as the weather was a little chilly... The only drawback I had on this property was the checkout requirements that I didn't know about until I read the paper posted next to the refrigerator. It directed the towels to be washed , dried and rehung, sheets to be placed in the washing machine and kitchen to be cleaned. Well, on our last morning there I ran around like a tiger trying to get this all done. Checkout time came and the towels still weren't dry. Too much stress! I thought we paid for the cleaning in the Cleaning Fee on our bill. However, outside of this situation, everything else was good.

About the host

Hosted by Renate Morris

Host profile image
We are the Morris Family - 2 adults, 3 children + dog from San Antonio, Texas. We are blessed to be able to host our beautiful condo with families from all around the world! The Lazy Turtle condo the perfect place to spend quality time together creating lasting & priceless memories.

Why they chose this property

We visited North Padre Island by chance in June 2016 and fell in love with what it has to offer families like ours. The beach fun we had and the easy variety of food options available on the island (both eating out and self catering) were just incomparable to anything we had encountered within a few hours drive from San Antonio. The Beach Club Condos instantly felt like home from home and we stayed at 2 different units before deciding to purchase our own.

What makes this property unique

Our poolside ground floor unit is one of the most sought after units on the property. The Beach Club resort is itself close to many premium beaches making it easy to spend quality time relaxing by the sea.

The closeness of high quality attractions on the island and in nearby Corpus Christi make visiting North Padre an easy choice. North Padre has everything for the nature enthusiast to the fun park visitor. Come just one time, and get hooked on island life!
