Plenty of room for our families and friends, kitchen on the third floor is definitely different but works out. Lots of stairs though, not ideal for toddlers. Easy and convenient walk to the beach!
Excellent location and comfortable for a large group. We were a group of 6 families and everyone enjoyed the stay. The only drawback was to have the kitchen on the third floor but we could understand why the living and kitchen is on their floor - amazing views.
Overall the best experience.

The house was as I expected very clean, near to the beach. When we came across issues, the hosts were very helpful and responded almost right away. Thank you
Booking was easy. Online info was accurate. The location was perfect for short walk to the beach even the three year old wasn’t complaining. Place was clean and well setup. Stayed for a week with four kids and seven grandkids. It was perfect! The only issues were kiddie pool accessories didn’t work and gates were hard to open house door lock also had issues and we got locked out once. Overall great place and I’d stay again!
This property was perfect for our large family with room to spare! The location was perfect for day and night trips to the beach. Away from the hustle and bustle of traffic, mornings and nights were perfect on the patio. Road access through the back gate was a plus. Having both pools to use was great! The heated pool was a little too warm for day use but made night swims perfect! Communication with management was easy and when we needed anything they were quick to reply and get things done. Everything worked great for us! We will definitely be staying again!

Reviewer Comments:
I was very satisficed with not only the property, but the professionalism the staff showed throughout the booking process, as well as rescheduling twice due to uncontrollable circumstances. The condo was clean and I really enjoyed the contemporary furnishings, cookware, utensils, coffee cups and dining ware. The condo was just the right size for my family and at the end I even had some 4-6 year old grandkids sad because we had to leave and telling me "I don't want to go, I want to live here." My only disappointment was that the grill was very dirty with caked on food debris from previous uses and there was no steel brush on the property to clean it. We had plans to cook burgers and hotdogs Saturday evening but we ended up cooking inside instead of the grill. Other than that, it was a great two days!

Reviewer Comments:
This property was excellent for a group of 14. Everything was very clean and in good shape. We rented a golf cart because we had 4 children under 6 but we could have easily made it without it. It was close enough to the beach for all to walk. The pools were awesome, and the little splash pad was nice for the little. We have never stayed anywhere that had a kitchen as well stocked with appliances, dishes, and silverware. Be aware that the kitchen is on the 3rd floor and there are a lot of steps. We considered it bonus exercise, but it would be difficult if very elderly or someone with knee/hip issues to get up the stairs. There were a couple of TVs that didn't work--the one on the bottom floor and one on the second floor, and the door to one of the bedrooms on the second floor was off the track. These things did not matter to us, but may need to be fixed before too long. Overall, I give this property 5 stars because it was perfect for our family and in such great condition. I would recommend. The staff at Padre Escapes was responsive to a couple of questions I had and easy to work with. No issues with anything.
Great experience overall. Parking a little tricky. 2 spaces allowed even though the property sleeps 15 plus. Guests parking was available and we were lucky to start our stay at a less busy time of the week. And of course , I wish the mattresses were replaced more often.The place was very clean. A big plus.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Only thing is we didn’t have a bbq pit in our area. I got some good exercise because it was 3 floors lol. But over all loved the home..Wpuld definitely stay again
The home was beautiful and close to the beach. There were 10 of us and we had more beds than we needed. Everyone enjoyed this cute condo as our temporary home away from home for a few days.

The property is a great size and accommodated everyone on our family vacation. Its location is awesome! Our one major complaint is that the first and second floors smells of mold and mildew and with a few people having allergies to mold, they had to take meds to alleviate those symptoms. Overall we had a great time and and enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful time at the vacation rental!!! Great space, lots of comfortable beds, excellent hang out areas and it was very close to the beach and the jetty for great fishing! Only (sorta) downside - the kitchen is on the 3rd floor - great way to get your workout in everyday. We had a leak in the basement/game room on our last day - Padre Escapes sent someone right out and got it fixed. We would definitely stay again!!
The place smelled like mold and the washer leaks. Other then that it was fine

My family and my 2 best friend’s families all stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful home. We had the best time ever! The location is perfect and conveniently located very close to the beach as described. The home was clean, beds neatly made, very well maintained overall.The only suggestions I’d have is to clean out sink drains in restrooms. The one in the room we stayed in was clogged, but I just cleaned it myself. (Didn’t think it was that big of a deal to call the property management) I’d also suggest fixing the lock on the 2nd floor room w/the pocket doors. Only other suggestion I’d have is to maybe change the doorknobs on the balcony doors. They were a bit hard to turn and open due to the sand that’s gotten in them over time. Other than that the home is great, very peaceful and had plenty of space. All three of our families were already discussing returning back! Thank you for allowing our families to spend quality time in your amazing home!
