Great time!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay and had a great time. Our rental was well stocked with all the essentials. Our kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. The furniture was clean and comfortable. I will say that the mattress in the master bedroom was a little firm but still very comfortable. The view from the top floor was great and we spent mornings sitting on the patio drinking coffee and watching the waves break. Very relaxing and comfortable environment. The parking lot was well lit with lighting. Checking in was easy as well as checking out. We will continue to stay here and rent again in the future.

Nice little get away for the weekend

The location was nice and very close to the beach. The condo was great. Upstairs got a little warm so we had to turn the ac down a few degrees and keep the fans on. The only thing i would change is to give the info out the morning of the first day of check in. It was a little nerve wrecking not knowing where i was going until 1 hour before i was able to check in. Especially after flying from out of state all day. At least give the address and let the members know that they cannot check in until after that time(4pm) and no sooner.

Spacious and convenient!

We stayed here with our kids and dog. It was not our first time at El Constante as we have visited many times over the years. The unit is very spacious, so there is plenty of room for everyone without feeling cramped. We were able to cook in the full kitchen to save a bit of cash and there is a nice small grocery store very close so we didn't even have to pack a cooler to haul down with us. You just walk right out down to the beach, which is so convenient! You can come and go so easily which is a huge plus. The pool is large and uniquely designed with little coves so it didn't feel too crowded. There are only al few units with a straight full on view of the beach and this is not one of them, but the cost savings for a decent partial view was worth it! We'll be back for sure!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rented for 5 days in February. 226 needs an update. Even though the main floor was recently updated, the entire condo needs a refresh. Beds were very comfortable and the condo was clean. Communications with Padre Escapes was great. El Constante is nice and the facilities are well kept and maintained.
