"In the Beach at El Constante’
We enjoyed our stay “on the beach” with El Constante Condo #103 so much!
As always the condo was a perfect location, perfectly equipped and beautifully decorated. We were so comfortable and have no complaints ! The office staff is wonderful too. Can hardly wait to do it again! "

"Good and Bad
We have a family of four with two littles. We stayed for a quick trip of 3 nights/4 days. We picked the first floor for the convenience of carrying all the beach toys etc that they would need. However, the people above us were so loud! Between walking, running up the stairs, running from one side to the other side and back again, closing doors, even knocking on the doors; we could hear it all! On the first night, 12:30am we finally had to call the after hours phone number to complain. The after hour person said if the people upstairs didn’t calm down in 30 minutes to call back. By 1:00am they finally calm down/went to sleep. Second night got a little better only because the people up stair calmed down by 12am. The room itself was fine. It had everything we needed. Extra fans in the closet was a bonus to help drown out the noise from upstairs. The one bedroom was hotter than the rest of the space. TV with Roku was great for the kids for the Disney+. The fold out couch was a futon mattress and was ok for my kids but I don’t think an adult would be that comfortable. The beach was super packed at the time we went. We had to wake up early and go down and CLAIM and spot on the beach by 7am. If you waiting past 8:30am good luck trying to get a front row spot/water view. Overall our stay was good with the space and easy access to the beach, but if we didn’t have the inconsiderate people above us we would have had a great trip. "

"beach vacation
It was wonderful staying right on the beach. The condo was clean and nice. The sofa although folds out to a bed, was unconfortable to sleep on."

"FANTASTIC...even with the Storms!!!
As a serial repeat visitor, everything was fabulous as usual. The staff cannot be beat. They are professional, friendly, hardworking, helpful and extremely kind. There is no turnover! The only complaint is that I had to go home after 3 days. "

"North Padre Island getaway
We enjoyed El Constante - stayed there many times. Its been upgraded and still a great condo - walk right onto the beach, leave the door open during the day and listen to the waves. VERY RELAXING. "

"103
It was a great view and loved the it was pet friendly. Management was friendly and helpful. Checking in and checking out a breeze. The furniture was dirty and uncomfortable. One chair was comfortable. The place needed a refresh and deep cleaning. It needed better pillows on the beds. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. "

"Jeff McCullough 103 stay
This was my 6th stay at El Constante, but we have never stayed in 103. Room was dirty, hair in the bath tub, broken coffee table, broken dinner table, couch needs replaced, no cushion in it anymore. Bed room need darker shade to keep light out. "
Aug 02, 2022 - Jeffrey M., New Braunfels, TX
"Great Ocean View
The beach is your front yard and staying at this property. Well some of the features and furnishings were outdated, the property was very clean, the views were spectacular, and you had easy access to everything the island had to offer. I would definitely stay here again!"

"Last minute plans
Our second stay. this time during the memorial holiday. Beachside unit. Awesome View and literally just steps away from the sand and water, very convenient and lovely views. A couple of minor issues. The bathroom was clogged when we checked in( guess the previous renters left us a parting gift. lol ). But maintenance was there within 2 hrs. Only real issue was the noise in the above unit(we were in a bottom unit) There is a curtesy number to call for after hours disturbances, if you want to be a *** about it. We tried not to be a "Karen" and "Dave" and complain but the upstairs renters had 3 kidos and they were running around at 3 am above us. Not cool. So theres that. Otherwise a nice stay. If your looking for a party condo, this is not it. Its very family friendly, which we love and they do have a cop patrolling right out front on foot walking over the whole property by each unit. Felt very safe. But beware there are coyotes in the dunes at night and early morning hours.( we spotted one down the ways a bit one early morning) Our dog smelled them too and would not go near the dunes so be mindful when your out really late or vert early in the morning. It didn't really change our opinion of staying here( we knew about the coyotes before we booked the first time) We had a great time."

"Good Beach Front View
Nice spot & very convenient for the beach.clean, thankful it’s pet friendly but in dire need of some TLC
The check in was easy - staff was very friendly."

"Clean & comfortable at a beautiful & convenient location
The accommodations were clean & comfortable at a beautiful & convenient location. We loved the room's decor! The staff was very helpful & friendly, and the pool was a great temperature. My only recommendation is adding a secondary lock for the safety of small children & smart dogs, since the door handle lever is easy to open from inside."

"Condo 103
We loved the ability to walk right out to the beach. Condo was clean and pleasant. The only thing I didn't love were the spotlights coming off the building... They kind of were a bit much when trying to enjoy the beauty of the nite."
Nov 01, 2021 - Jane R., Carlinville, IL
"Great view but furniture uncomfortable and worn
The couch and chair need to be replaced. I would not sit in the chair as it was disgusting! The air conditioner dripped water and was noisy. Anytime I cooked anything, the smoke detector would go off! The mattress needs replacing also. The refrigerator is also very noisy. The location and view are magnificent!"

"Perfect weather, great stay
Stayed 2 nights for a solo trip and it was fantastic. Easy access to the beach, lovely porch to sit on and ruminate as well, everyone was friendly, kind, socially distanced... The room had everything I needed and was never lacking for anything. I'd read the previous reviews about too much light in the bedroom (it wasn't bad at all ..when you're tired, it doesn't matter!) and the noise from upstairs (that WAS a little bit of a bother at times, but the objective was to be outside, not inside all the time, right?) but hey, its an affordable beach stay with great waterfront access. AND important -- it was CLEAN. I've been in many hotels that are less clean, so this was great! Pretty perfect all around. "

Such a great location and the staff and property was excellent! The property we stayed in needs a lot of updates though. Its very outdated but great view!"

"Sandy getaway
Great location and view. Unfortunately Sunday early morning people upstairs had a kid that kept running back and forth. We woke up to this. I had to hit ceiling with broom handle. It didn't stop. When I told office they said they were sorry and they were checking out. Still "

"Beautiful location
Location beautiful ocean view great room could use updated furniture mattress topper bed very uncomfortable and darkening shades in bedroom. Bathroom could use taller toilets ceiling fans dirty. Room could be a little cleaner. The spa was not working. "

The location was so convenient and perfect. The beach right out the front door. We definitely would love to return to this location in the future. "

"Beach house
All very good except for the noise coming from apartment above. Loud walking back and forth and dragging of furniture "
May 01, 2021 - Mike H., Bowie, TX
"Room 103
It was fine but the bedroom needs room darkening curtains or shades. It was so bright we hung 2 blankets and 2 beach towels over the windows. We don’t need “black out curtains,” but it was so bright in there from we guess the pool area that it was like being in Vegas. But otherwise the condo was great!
And the remotes were co fusing. Try to read the instructions... the remotes were not the correct ones."

"Babymoon Bliss
Me and my husband stayed for two nights on a Babymoon. It was wonderful! We watched the sun rise, enjoyed being right on the beach, and loved the heated pool to relax in! The front desk gave us great recommendations for dinner. We ate one night at Docs, the food was amazing, Service was good, and the sunset view was spectacular! Our room was good, the bed not great, and there was a hole around the bathtub shower, but it had everything we needed. I would recommend getting a canopy or putting your car on the beach in front of you early in the morning so you have a front beach spot. Make sure you bring things like coffee filters and wine opener just in case. Over all I would highly recommend staying here and wish I was still there. Also, very family friendly."

I liked the place, specially the view. The problems I found was: 1) hottub was not working for a couple of days 2) my neighbor from room on top of mine had small kids that would make a lot of noise the whole day. I complained to front office and in person and it didn't help. "

"Jones Yearly Vacation
Everything was great. It was very nice and clean, and it had everything. Can’t wait to return next year. "
Jun 28, 2020 - Rodney J., San Antonio, TX
"It’s all about the view
This property was all about the location for us. We loved being ocean front, there’s never a bad day on the beach. We are accustomed to a king size bed, but the condo we rented only had a queen, but we made that sacrifice for the view. The living room furniture was not very comfortable, the fabric needs a good cleaning & you would be very disappointed if you had 2 adults sleeping on the sofa pull out bed. We had issues with the cable television, our entire stay (4 months) we had to constantly unplug to reset both cable boxes on a regular basis. The property management had the cable company do a service call & they changed a connection, but blamed the issues on the construction company doing renovations on the complex. The service rep said they had cut the main cable & repaired it, the service call didn’t resolve the problems, we just dealt with it our entire stay. The property was kept in great shape, the maintenance man did a good job. The property management reps were also good, very attentive to our needs. We would stay at this complex again. "

We enjoyed our stay in 103. Especially sitting on porch and enjoying our view.
Thankyou"

"Great location and ocean front views!
We really enjoyed our time at El Constante 103. The condo was immaculate and became the landing place for the remainder of my family who were in a condo upstairs. In addition, the pool was extremely nice and convenient. Our only complaint was the noise in the room from people walking up and down the stairs just outside the bedroom window. All in all, it was a wonderful family vacation."

"Best vacation Ever!
Best vacation ever! The room has a Wonderful view of the ocean. The room had allot of sand on the floors and the comforter was stained & a little dirty but overall was very comfortable & clean. "

"Best view around
I would recommend this condo to anyone who wants to airmailing on a porch and look at the beach. The inside was clean and welcoming, and was spacious enough for our young family. I would recommend brining your own pillows ours had an odor that was unpleasant, otherwise a nice stay and we would consider returning."
Jul 15, 2019 - , COLLEGE STATION, TX
"Nice Place to Stay
The location is excellent, it is located directly on the beach as well as being located close to restaurants and is within 20 minutes of Port Aransas. The grounds are well kept and the Condo 103 was very nicely decorated and had all the necessities that we needed. There was only one downside, the people up stairs were jumping up and down or throwing each other on the floor until 2AM in the morning every night. I am not sure if this is all of the condo's or this one but if you are a light sleeper you might want to consider staying somewhere else. If you don't mind all the noise or can sleep through noise then you should be good! "

"El Constante Beach Retreat
Our stay at El Constante was the perfect staycation spot.
The room had a clean inviting beach theme that put you in the mood to relax and enjoy your time spent there. The employees greeted us with warm and friendly smiles. They were very helpful in every way. We would definitely return and enjoy the spectacular view of the beach and accommodations. "
Nov 10, 2018 - Diana M., Corpus Christi, TX
"Return Customer for Fall Week
Overall an enjoyable stay. I still think the property management team has quite a bit of room for improvement though.
The good: Location, location, location. It cannot be beat. Easy check in. Pleasant staff. Most rooms have been upgraded to a certain degree.
Needs to improve: Light outside bedroom in pool area shines into bedroom ALL night. Need better curtains. For guests staying on second floor, there needs to be some sort of notice about stomping around. The kid above us was doing wind sprints for the better part of 2 hours starting at 0600. While rooms have been updated in some aspects, bathroom fixtures look the same as they did during my stays in the 90’s. Shower head had no pressure. "
Nov 04, 2018 - Christopher P., Lillian, TX
"Good location, staff was helpful, BUT
We've rented at this location before but in an other unit. We found the unit clean, the staff was helpful and the location was good with views of the Gulf and beach. The main complaint is that the bed and bedding were subpar as were the towels. Would rent from El Constante again but not unit 103."

"October rental
Good size condo for 2 people. Views and distance to the beach, could not be matched. With construction in the pool area, it was a bit messy, but staff did their best to keep it up. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. The mildew, mold smell was extremely strong. Made the condo feel not quite clean.
LWondering why the overhead fans are not left on? When we owned in Port A we were required to keep the fans on 24/7. Need at least one cookie sheet, and maybe a tray, pitcher for drinks? Major issue discovered the last day was dishwasher was not secured to the cabinet or floor. When I pulled out the filled top rack, the whole dishwasher fell forward. I reported this to the office. A small child could be greatly injured.
Staff very accommodating, friendly. Love the free beach towels."

"Love the view!!!
We loved the view from this vacation rental! Our condo was clean, yet a little outdated. Could use a new microwave because our microwave was rusted on the inside. We loved that this condo is located directly in front of the beach. You can't beat the view. The pool was also really great! We saw them cleaning the pool every morning. We loved the facilities!"

"When can we come back
I've never been to South Padre--I had always spent childhood stays in North Padre so continued the tradition--but I've heard it said that if you aren't sure where you'd like to spend your vacation, North Padre tends to be quieter and more affordable. We went just before peak season began--something that was risky given weather was just starting to warm up--but we were pleased overall with how that turned out. Going off-season helped us to be able to maximize our time there. We loved our beach front condo at El Constante. It was cozy, well-kept, well-stocked, and even some of the materials which Padre Escapes said El Constante might not replenish, such as towels or bedding, the management said they could do so as needed without us even asking. Having a kitchenette helped us save because we could eat in most of the time, and while the kitchenware was VERY basic, it served well. The WiFi was fine as long as there weren't high winds, and we had no issues with the fridge or AC. The bed wasn't the most comfortable ever, but it still did just fine. Convenience--the laundry room is open at all times and contains multiple washers/dryers. We brought our own quarters, but the office also said you can make change with them to get quarters if you run out. Bring your own laundry soap; we did a small packet of tide pods to keep things cleaner and more portable. The hot tub definitely seemed not to be heating properly, which was a tad disconcerting on the first night when it was in the 50s. No matter--we were there to spend most of our time in or near the ocean. The office also closes somewhat early; if you have a long drive, either leave early in the morning or split your commute over two days to get there in time. The staff were perhaps less than friendly at times over the phone when calling to confirm reservation details, but in person, they were stellar. They gave helpful and accurate information in a prompt manner and made sure we knew they'd be there if we needed anything. "
May 11, 2018 - Melissa F., Plano, TX
"Very nice condo.
Well decorated. It appears to be freshly remodeled. Beautiful view out the front windows We really enjoyes sitting on the front porch evening/night. Just like being on the beach but just a lot more comfy."

"Place is GREAT!!
First time staying here and loved it. We were in unit #103 and it was very clean, decorated nice and the location/view is amazing. Walk out your front door and you are only steps to the boardwalk and then the beach. The complex is undergoing a big facelift and will look great when it is done!"

"Winter weekend get-a-way
I was very pleased with the location and general condition of the property. I do think they should be aware that the coffee pot in my room had leaking issues and should be replaced. That was a minor inconvenience during an otherwise lovely stay!"
Jan 02, 2018 - Lisa D., Smithville, Texas
"Awesome Location!
Our unit was beach front on the first floor and the beach was not crowded and clean (October). The furnishings were not fancy, but they were neat and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. The exterior of the property could use a freshening up and an overall updating.
Our primary issue with the rental was that the internet did not work. We could connect for a few seconds and that was it. I would recommend this place if you do not need to access the internet while you are there. "
Nov 07, 2017 - John J., Fort Worth, Texas
"NICE
Nice room and view. A little bit expensive but not outrageous compared to other places in the area. The room itself was cozy & cute but bit dated, however they are in the process of remodeling the outside (not sure if they are going to remodel in inside - it could use it). No washer and dryer in the room as implied. Oven door handle broke off and my wife burned herself while cooking (freak accident i guess). And there was no can opener even after I called in advance to make sure there was one so we didn't take ours. They did have one in the office i used. Also washer and dryer available (coin-op) near office as well. Overall we had a great time and would go again."
