"El Constante yes unit 118 NO
El Constante exceeded expectations. Unit 118 needs new mattresses,bed and couch. If you look at old reviews you will see complaints in 2020. I thought they would have been replaced by now. I guess the owner does not care about the customer. What a shame because the rating would be a 5 instead of a 2. Buy a new mattress. "

"September Stay
We got the house for our Daugter and grandkids. They loved it! Loved the pool, game room and roomy spaces!"

"Great stay
Very nice condo! Plenty of room for our family of 4 and was very clean/comfortable. The coffee maker seems to have been replaced with a carafe that doesn’t fit the machine. I had to hold it up in order for the coffee to come out. Other than that great time :)"

"Home away from Home!
We make a trip every year and stay in the same condo. The place is always clean and ready, well decorated and a place we call our home away from home!"

"Condo 118
Nicely appointed, updated appliances. The pull out sofa bed needs to be replaced, not suitable for sleeping "

"Clean stay.
We had a very good stay here. The unit above us was very loud the first night. We said something to the management company and never had a problem again."

Had very good time at stay. The only problem was the electrical seat recliner did not work! Very clean and temperature main cool from air conditioning. "

"Good Place to Stay
Overall, this was a very convenient and nice place to stay. Everything was clean upon arrival and it had everything we needed for our short stay.
The proximity to the beach really made it worth it. Everyone in the office was extremely nice and helpful as well.
The only complaint I have is the sofa bed. The mattress was maybe 2 inches thick so I could feel every bar from the bed frame, this made sleeping difficult. With that said, we made due for the two nights we were there. Hopefully this is an easy replacement for the future. I still recommend this condo, but with the sofa bed issue, it is probably better suited to just two people."

"Great location
The condo was exactly as described. Great location, 2 min walk to water. The pool was great as well. It can be loud if someone is staying in the condo upstairs. We would definitely stay in this location again. "

"Great Beach Vacation
The condo was exactly as listed, clean and comfy! We are a family of 4 and it was perfectly roomy for all of us to have enough space, all of our suitcases fit great in the bedroom closet so they didn’t have to take up living space. We were able to walk on the beach in the morning and evening directly from the condo, so the location was perfect! We couldn’t ask for anything better! Thank you for having us and we can’t wait to stay here again. "

"Clean, comfortable & great location
Very nice condo with comfortable furniture and bed and fantastic location to beach and restaurants.
The only issue was noisy neighbors upstairs, but that is no fault of the condo."

"Family Reunion
We had a good stay at this complex. We’re able to get units side by side for the family. Good location and beach access. The pool was nice and a good addition to the beach days. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the A/C thermostat was old style and didn’t work properly. While the compressor would cycle on and off for a desired temp, the fan never shut off. All that did was pump very humid air into the unit. Also, you probably can’t ever say a vacation rental is spotless. Certainly adequate. "

"Stay at El Constante
The rental location was amazing. The unit was very clean. There was no hot water in the unit and hopefully it has been fixed. In addition, the ac was very finicky. It would be very hot one minute, freezing the next without changing the settings. "

"Original El Constante wonderful
1. The room itself had TWIN beds in the bedroom. We have used many rooms at this complex and Never saw that bedding problem. This unit Should be flagged on the automated system as Twin Beds.
2. When calling the contact number about changing rooms we met with NO. I asked for a supervisor who was not available that day or Sat. So they told us She would call us Sunday morning.. I'm still Waiting for that call.
3. This room was checked off as to everything was ready and working. Correct? So it did come as a shock after 450 mile trip in the Texas heat....Guess what. No HOT water. Equals a shower "so to speak".
It was repaired the next day before noon but frankly after a miserable night in a child's twin bed neither of us were anything near to Happy. #1
Our visit was the Worst we ever had in the 20+ years we always used this complex. #1
3. When the owners stopped using their Own staff to run this facility they made a Huge mistake because this current operation is bar none in the lower 48 The Worst management we have ever encountered. "

"Nice room
Such a convenient room. Very close to the beach. This room has two twin beds in the bedroom with a pull out trundle bed. A pull out couch in the living room. However the pull out couch was extremely uncomfortable. The plan was put the kids in the bedroom twins while my husband and I shared the pull out, but it was so bad on our back that we had to put several blankets down and put the kids to share the couch while we each used a twin bed."

"Great Stay
We always like working with (Property Management)! The condo at El Constante was perfect for us. We have stayed in quite a few condos there over the years and have been pleased each time. The location can’t be beat!"

"El Constante 118
Absolutely awesome. Clean room, all the needed appliances, and bonus, around the corner was Whitecaps Beach. I would highly recommend this place and cannot wait to schedule my next trip!"

"Beach condo getaway
Overall the condo was clean, and sufficient, except for the bed.
The bed was not good; the mattress sags in the middle. My back ached every morning from sleeping in it. I told the office about sagging mattress."
Jan 02, 2022 - Lin C., Richardson, TX
"Just OK.
The front office people were very nice and helpful. However, the unit was low on basics. No shampoo or conditioner, no salt and pepper, or coffee. Those things are usually standard. The pull out couch is not great for sleeping.
Close to the beach though, so that was nice. "

"30 Days of Bliss
Stayed for a month with my two little chihuahuas. It was so relaxing and nice to be so close to the beach. The on-site staff are fabulous and they take care of you. This condo was comfortable and had all the basic needs. I hope to return for another month in the Spring."

"Covid visit
We enjoyed our stay. We have been visiting El Constante for about 25 years. We always enjoy it. Office staff is cordial. It seems silly that w3 check out at the office, and then also have to click a link, when we just checked out! Also, $10 if you don’t turn in the bracelets? Seems excessive.
It was clean, but the sink was full of water when we got there. Seemed odd."

"Beach Birthday Bash
We had 14 family members celebrating our oldest one's birthday. We rented two 2-bedroom units and one 1-bedroom units. The weekend was perfect. The accomodations were very nice."
Jul 15, 2021 - , Hutto, TX
"Great stay
Great location and a great stay. Will plan to come back. The only negative thing I can say is the mattress in the bedroom needs to be replaced immediately. It has a topper which is nice but the problem is that the mattress is worn in the middle and makes it very uncomfortable and you feel like you are always rolling into the center. "
Jul 13, 2021 - Curtis G., Liberty Hill , TX
"lots of seating
The unit was in a great location, however it could use an interior update. Especially the mattresses in the bedroom and the pull out sofa. Both were very lumpy and the sofa mattress was very noisy. Cookware/kitchen ware were limited or very scratched up, too."
Jul 08, 2021 - , Austin, TX
"Excellent property
Fantastic property! I will say though, the bed needs a new mattress. That one is shot. I would have given all 5’s if the bed had been better.

"El Constante Stay
The staff was welcoming and inviting, The rooms were nice and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. The only issue I had was the pool was not clean."
Jun 14, 2021 - , Houston , TX
"It was good
We do have to say... the “bed “ the only bed in the master room sucked!
My husband and I slept on a cheap bed that we felt the springs on our backs, sides etc! It literally is a cheap mattress!
We enjoyed everything else in the condo. But the second night we just did not have a good night sleep!
Another issue , we were on the lower floor off 118 . However , the condo above is kept walking with heavy feet . So the first night we let it go but the second night it continued!
But what could we do?
If we complained, it would have made matters worse.
Other than that , we had a roof over our heads that we paid for. We are not confronting people. So it is what it is."

"Stove
Room had one small problem the stove would not turn off. The cleaning staff showed me how to turn the electric breaker off and on. An appliance tech showed up Tuesday afternoon he said stove was fixed but the rear burner didn’t work and a part had been ordered. Turns out I still had to turn off the breaker. The room was super clean and nicely decorated and the pool was clean too. Just wish they would of given me a reduced room rate for the broken stove."

We stayed from Monday to Saturday. The staff is very accommodating. Right on tbe beach. We rented a cart and toured the beach and city. The primary bed is outdated. Sleep on the couch bed as the primary bed.

"El Constante 118 10/11-10/14/20
First we weren't contacted with the information to get into the condo until we were 15 minutes from our arrival time. Seems there was a text that was supposed to be sent that wasn't. This made for a stressful drive to the condo. Construction was happening on a whole section of condos next to us which wasn't disclosed when we booked it. This meant our walking path to the beach and pool was blocked and of course the noise of construction going on all day long and parking issues due to the workers being there. Also the refrigerator didn't work properly, fridge was freezing things and the freezer was defrosting and refreezing frequently. "

"Wonderfully Homey
Condo was a CONDO. Obviously built to be a truly livable space. Home away from home. Staff was EXCELLENT regarding COVID CLEANLINESS. "

"118
Bed in was really uncomfortable, pull out sofa-bed was also really bad. Sink in bathroom was slow draining. Other than that it was alright."

"Perfect Location on the Beach
We loved our stay at El Constante 118. The beachfront location is amazing! Felt very safe at the condo complex when walking my dogs during the day or evening. The part of the beach that is in front of the condo is beautiful. My family loved that there is a jetty close by to fish off on. Very nice complex and the condo itself was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the pool too. The only thing I would suggest is to fix the bathroom sink as it would not drain very well at all. Also the bathroom fan did not work and the sleeper sofa mattress was very uncomfortable. Other than those 3 things, we really enjoyed our stay in #118 and would stay here again. Thank you (Property Management)!!"

We enjoyed our stay. The unit was just as advertised. It was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to the beach, Padre Island National Seashore, and fishing. The pool in the condo complex was also clean and well maintained. "

"Worst Unit at El Constante
We have stayed at El Constante for over 30 years. Unfortunately, many of the units in the complex are showing their age - especially the bathrooms. This unit had several deficiencies: Greasy floors, dirty linens, unpleasant odor, extremely uncomfortable beds, and bright parking lot lights.
At night the other guests in units on either side of us drank and smoked on their front steps late into the night which is not the family friendly environment we prefer for our kids. "

"El Constante 118
Overall the experience was very good.
Pros: Right on the Beach! Able to pull right up to door for loading / unloading. Nice pool/hot tub.
Cons: The bathroom exhaust fan desperately needs replacing, it sounds like it is about to explode.
We had some inconvenience due to repairs to the unit above us. One day there was a lot of drywall debris and nails that did not get cleaned up by the repair crew. After a call, the El Constante staff cleaned it up quickly. Two other days we had water dripping down on our door from the balcony above."

"Wonderful Stay
We were in #118 at el Constante and it was great. First of all the staff at (Property Management) were great. We rescheduled our trip due to hurricane Harvey. They were fabulous every step of the way. Upon checking in the girl at the front desk was very friendly and informative. Our condo was not affected by the hurricane so all was good within the unit. Cold air conditioning was a necessity for my husband and it was on point. Bath towels are supplied however we brought our own and I recommend doing that. Everything in the unit was clean and tidy. We will definitely come again.
A special thanks to Justin at (Property Management)! He is awesome"

"See Ya'll Next Year
Words can't describe how wonderful it was to stay here. My wife and 17 year old daughter also enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend Condo 118. We checked in Saturday, August 12th and self checked out Thursday, August 17th. We loved everything about 118! We of course slept in the room on the KingSizeBed & our teenager slept on the pullout couch. AC was wonderfully cold! Pool was was really nice and refreshing after a day on the beach. Bummed that the TV's weren't smart TV's but enjoyed Spectrum Cable on both TV's. Wifi wasn't very strong so we just didn't use it. Plenty of pots, pans, untensils, bowls, plates and plasticware. Overall nicely stocked. "
