"Building 1 appt.112
Everything was good except ants. We had to buy traps and fight with them. They bit us. This was horrible. You should spray every appartement before check in."

"Padre July 2023
The property overall was very nice and well maintained
The unit was old and not very clean we had to mop the living area floor, the AC was not working but they fixed it within 2 hours of our arrival. The thermostat never worked properly the mop and broom in the unit were old and not very functional and not much use. The living room blind would not go down all the way. We had to hunt for the bedroom remote. Took 2 days to find. It was adequate but certainly not anything else. Very small. Lamp shades stained. Parking spot across the lot. Not convenient at all. "

"Worst experience ever
Place was infested with roaches. Killed 4 on the first night. Wife was not comfortable sleeping there after that. Blender didn’t work. Only 2 towels and 2 wash clothes for 2 people for a 4 night stay. Then water was shut off at the complex for 6 hours from noon to 6pm. After seeing all the roaches I asked about canceling rest of days. Was told no. After not having water for 6 hours I asked for a discount and was told no. Then after the stay and review I get an email saying I could get a discount on another stay if I wanted to come back. No.... Worst AirBNB experience ever."

"WONDERFUL VILLA BY THE BEACH
The unit was spotless upon arriving. It was very cold that week and the heat was on when we arrived which was awesome. The decor and furnishings were perfect. Washer and dryer worked well, great water pressure and hot water for the shower. The unit was quiet. The property mgmt. company is extremely professional and responded promptly and efficiently to any question we had. Will definitely usen Padre Escape again!"

"Birthday Weekend
It was overall a great stay even with a power outage and some bad weather! One thing I didn’t appreciate though was I was not contacted about a couple of items I may have left there on the property even though I was told by customer service that the owner would get back to me. Nevertheless, it was a great weekend!"

"Very clean!
Very clean. Needs a few things to be more comfortable for "vacation " time.
Black out curtains! Super BRIGHT in the mornings! Pre Check in process can be challenging. Need to supply packets of condiments, coffee, etc. When arriving late, pita to have to go get coffee, sugar, etc. At least have 1st morning coffee..."

"Pictures are more impressive than actual unit
When we walked into the unit there was a moldy smell - We called, and they sent over someone to clear the smell. It only really covered the smell up for a short time and the smell did end up coming back quicky during our stay. The pictures certainly painted a different perspective then the actual unit itself. I was disappointed in the building and the interior of the apartment was mostly put on with lipstick as a renovation. We also didn't like that the actual parking spot was across the street in front of a different building as well. "

"Texas 2022
We were in most part pleased with unit. I had wanted a two bedroom fell through, but Padre Escapes helped secure this unit. The furniture was outdated and uncomfortable, but the unit owner replaced while we were there. It was so much better. Padre Escapes was very helpful whenever we needed them; however it did take 4 days to fix the entry lock. I did not think that the maintence of the rest of the building was very good. The hall in front of the unit was never very clean. We saw a house keeper once cleaning hall. We have booked at beach club again, but in a two bedroom, we just need more space for ling stay."

"Not a great stay!
The condo smelled bad upon arrival. The couch was covered with dog hair. All surfaces were sticky. The floor was filthy. The place also has cockroaches. So upon arrival, for vacation, I had to buy cleaning supplies and clean before moving in. We won’t be back!"

"Last Minute Getaway
We stayed at Villa By The Beach Resort from August 9th through August 14th. We were very pleased with everything from the ease of the check-in to the location of the villa to the cleanliness of the room when we arrived. This is a great location to the beach, to the pet friendly concept of the resort. The room was identical to the pictures that were posted on the site. There was a slight musty smell on arrival, but didn't notice it after a while. The room was very comfortable, and my wife and I were very pleased with how comfortable the bed was. We will definitely be back to this resort. "

"I would avoid this place or agency “Padre Escapes”
I would not recommend using this agency that manages the property as it’s such a scam how they apply “fees”. I had two small 10lb dogs and was charged $280 for a two night stay almost the same cost as the unit itself. The catch is when you check out on the VRBO site and pay for your room you see the breakdown of charges the daily rate, “administrative fees, cleaning fees” taxes and you get a grand total so one would think that this fees are also inclusive of your pet fees...WRONG. You get those fees after you have made the booking and are sent the renters contract a day later by the management company and then they run your card again to tell you the pet fees are not included and now you owe an additional $280 for the two night stay. I have used VRBO on many occasions and each time I have checked out the fees list or include the pet fee I have never had to pay after my reservation was booked. The management company tried to put it off on VRBO saying this is how VRBO sets up their site .. no I don’t believe that you as the property owner I’m sure would dictate to VRBO how you want the payment process to work or be handled all as one transaction. Yes the listing shows fees for pets but again if you are going to charge a fee that should all be included and tallied up when you checkout so at that moment you as the consumer can decide if you want to pay these OUTRAGEOUS fees. I will NEVER use a property that is managed by PADRE ESCAPES as they seem very shady and non pet friendly. "

"Coast Vacation
Room was nice and we had a nice stay. A block from the beach, restaurants, etc. Pool was nice. I had two issues that was a detractor for me personally but probably wouldn't affect other families. 1. The property was not listed on the description as not being ADA compliant. The 1st floor units still require 4 to 5 step stairs would made (no wheelchair ramps) which caused issues for my wife with MS coming and going more freely. I would suggest listing this on the description. 2nd, The complex does not provide any type of water hose for it's guest. The unit by the pool was always locked and the hose by the boat trailer parking never had water. These are areas neighboring complexes where we normally stay have an edge for me personally."

"Could of been better
When you get to the apartment door it looks very dirty an run down and we where very worried the inside would also be like that. Luckily it was better. There where many things that need Improvement such as the microwave was very dirty inside the side of the refrigerator was so dirty it was nasty the refrigerator handle kept falling off there was no hand soap there were no kleenexes. The large art piece on the Wall fell on our daughter while she was sleeping on pull out sofa. It fell a total of 3 times during our 5 day stay. The furniture was very worn out and falling apart. The bed was very comfortable. All in all it was a nice place but for the price it should of been cleaner and have a few extra. 4 towels for 3 people is not enough so I had to do wash many times. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. The location was nice and the pool was nice and having the fishing pond there was nice. Details matter when having a rental. I own one and little things make it or break it. I would not come back and spend as much as I did for what I got. "

"Felt like Home, but Property not well managed, fees double cost
We had a nice stay and the room felt like home. It was very comfortable and very well furnished and the location was perfect. The property itself was in disrepair sagging steps and broken handrails leading into the building, and the entire lawn was filled with stickers and grass burs. For what people pay to stay here they dont expect to be digging stickers out of their feet and their pets paws. The unit wasnt unclean but there were underling issues with stickers and grass burs in the furniture, and water roaches in the unit. When the add on fee's nearly double the cost of rent you are paying, you expect a little more from the place. 200$ in pet deposits + 50$ pet cleaning fee? then whats the pet deposit for? 90$ reservation fee and 65$ preparation fee, preparation for what? I could have paid for a 2bedrm suite in town had bfast buffet, a bar in the hotel and spent less $$ and only been 15min further from the beach. The National chain restaurants in town were way better than the way overpriced local ones on the Island you would think people that live on the Island could do fresh fish right. So I can see no advantages to staying on the Island for the added cost on my next visit. "

"cute place
the place was cute and it's nice that it was on the 1st floor. Only thing was that when we got there the place still had sand and fur on the floor and sheets and had to do a quick sweep. Called the office to ask about clean up and the quickly responded and help me change sheets. Other than that, it was a nice stay all in all. "

"Great Location
We stayed almost 2 months. Block and a half to the beach was awesome. The complex is really nice, pool, hot tub work out room etc. Condo is a good size for two people. Kitchen is small but has everything you need. Great 1st floor location. AC units are right off the deck, so can be a little noisy when the windows are open. Inside is nice, needs a little updating, but again everything you need to be comfy.Owners were nice enough to let our dogs stay and they enjoyed it. Lots of folks with dogs there. Padre Escapes folks were amazing, really glad to have a rental company when you are staying for a few weeks. Very responsive!! "

"Nice Location /Pet Friendly
Walking into the building, it is very bad in need of paint and carpeting needs replaced/upgraded. The condo we stayed in was 112. It was ok for a 3 day stay but not up to our standards. The furniture needs replaced as it had stains as well as the table and chairs. Make sure you bring your own pots/pans/cookie sheets/blender etc. Cookie sheets was rusted as well as very stained. Thankfully I had aluminum foil to line them. The one frying pan was Teflon that had many scratches and almost looked unuseable but I needed to fry bacon so I did. At home I throw these pans away if they have just a few scratches. The bi-fold doors to the laundry/trash was just dirty and in bad need of paint. I would take ur own coffee pot too. I wanted to use blender but it had crusted on food inside it so I put it back in the cupboard. We had a dog but the floors/couches had lots of dog hairs when we arrived. The pull out couch and king bed was very comfy. And it’s not a “short walk” to the beach...like a 1/2 mile or more. I personally would not rent this particular room again. Spoke to ppl in hot tub and they said their studio condo was very nice and clean. Pool/hot tub was nice. "

"Lovely vacation
I had a few days off and wanted to chase the sun. This is a perfect location because it is close to everything - Corpus, the beaches, the National Seashore. The unit had been newly renovated and was perfect, particularly since there was a washer dryer in the unit. Property management is EXCELLENT!"

"Weekend Beach Stay
My second time to stay at the property. Only complaint is that on Saturday afternoon, we got into the pool and the bottom was gritty and the water was cloudy with sand. There was also a lot of hair in the pool. My suggestion is to clean the pool a few times a day during busy weekends. "

"Clean and Close to Padre Beach
Overall good experience. Clean and well stocked condo. On first floor. Only 2 issues I noticed - 1. Door knob broke apart on 2nd night. It was clearly overdue for replacement before we arrived. I informed the front desk when we checked out. 2. Parking system is for the birds. Assigned parking is given out but the parking spot for this unit is across the lot in front of a different building. There were 4 spots directly in front of the door that were totally unused the whole weekend. Could really reassess parking situation. "

"Wish it could have been better
Upon arrival the place was neat and looked clean and a card was on the counter stating the unit had been inspected and stocked.... until we saw the ceiling fan in the bedroom. It had not been cleaned in a long time. Several items needed repair, including the broken and unusable toilet paper holder and shower head. The pull out bed in the living room needs a real mattress. The air conditioning vents need updating. Neither one can be the bedroom was aimed at the bed and quite cold, while the living room vent did not cool the room at all. Then came the roaches. The management company offered twice to send someone to attend to all these issues, but we declined as we were resting or gone and didn't want anyone in the condo while we were not there. I hope the owner will attend to these issues as the price per night was a bit pricey for the inconveniences."

"Paradise!
We enjoyed our stay very much and the only negative thing is our trip was too short and didn't want to leave! The beach club condo was great, has everything we need like a home, clean and modern. The facility was great, the pool and fitness room was spacious. The location of the condo was very convenient, it's a short walk to the beach. The stores and area attraction is close by as well. We would come back again."

The company over booked our room and our reservation was given to someone else. We were told we still had to pay even though we had a contract signed in which they tried to deny. The company then hung up on me when I told them I had a copy of the contract they said they couldn't find.

"Great Location Exceeded Expectations
Excellent location. Walking distance to the beautiful beach, the liquor store, convenience store, and our favorite Bar & Restaurant "The Boathouse". You simply must have a Bloody Mary when you are there. Everyone we met on the Island was super friendly. The condo is nothing fancy but it is cozy. It is rather tiny but for our needs (3 Adults) it was okay. The location is most excellent. One complaint - there is no exhaust fan for the oven/stove so if you even whisper the word smoke the smoke alarms go off. The smoke alarms work incredibly well and I am sure they woke up the neighbors in the adjacent property (500 yards away) We cooked bacon one morning. Mistake.
I would definitely stay there again but I would suggest this property for 2 Adults maximum. The bed was perhaps the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on. Sincerely! Unfortunately I was sleeping on the couch. LOL Regarding previous comments about an odor in the unit, There definitely is one. But it was not a real bad odor and we concluded that it was the brand new floor.
We had a fabulous time and wished we could stay longer."

"Polar Vortex Villa
We were victimized by 40 degree below normal temperatures in early November. Discovered there's not much to do on Padre and in Corpus Christi in weather like that. The management company staff suggested we visit Port Aransas. There was nothing to do there either. They did however suggest that we might try to find the senior citizens center there, which we found mildly humorous.
The condo itself was very nice. However, upon our arrival, we found that the we could not turn the shower on to hot water. We reported the problem and a maintenance man came out the same day, with the needed part and repaired it in short order.
Our biggest complaint though was the condition and location of the grills. The description online implied that the grill was conveniently located near our condo. Not the case! The grill was some distance away, old, dirty, rusty, and obsolete! Charcoal! Really?! We tried to grill once and after using an entire bag of charcoal (and freezing during the process), we gave up and brought the slightly warm steaks inside to finish on top of the stove."

"Great Time of Year to Visit
This condo was exactly as the photos. The unit was comfortable for the 4 adults in our group, and it would be very nice and spacious for a couple. The weather had been unusually cold and rainy, but we had a couple of very relaxing days on the beach. The pool was too cold for me, but we used the hot tub. This is my second time to use Padre Escapes and I couldn't be happier with their service. "

Excellent Rm. Great value. Exceptional service. 5 min walk to the beach. Jeremy C. was very good to work with, even gave us some great advice on where to fish which worked out very well for us. The room was very, very clean. 2 minute walk to the pool and hot tub. had 3 grills which we utilized 2 out of 3 nights to grill our catch. Couldn't ask for a better value, service, or location. Definately my first choice when I return. Jeremy will take care of you."
