Comfortable, Clean
Really enjoyed our stay here. The location was close to our jobsite, and the home was beautiful. Rooms were nicely decorated and the size of the unit was perfect for me and some relatives that stopped by for a visit. I was a bit caught off guard when I received all the paperwork to sig, but I completely understand the need to make sure everyone is covered. I would rent from Padre Escapes again.

Great Management
We started our stay with some hiccups. Circumstances that aren't planned for but that unfortunately happened during our 3 night stay. Upon check-in we were informed that the washer in the unit was not working and the part wouldn't be available until after we left. A tad inconvenient as there were 2 families, 8 people in all, 4 being small children. We had banked on being able to wash clothes during our stay. But we understand that's not something you can control. The AC unit was not working properly either. We were provided with a portable unit downstairs before we checked in. When I called about the unit not cooling down, then we were informed of the AC issue and were provided with an additional 2 portable units for 2 of the 3 bedrooms that were located upstairs. The AC unit was repaired the last day of our stay. Also, be advised that this unit DOES NOT have your traditional coffee pot!! It's a Keurig. Which is totally fine but in the information provided, it stated to bring coffee filters and coffee as that wasn't provided. So we did. And ended up not being able to use it because it's a Keurig. You'll need those cups. Also, there's a Starbucks down the road about a mile too, if you like to enjoy coffee on your vacations like we do. Management was hands down, remarkable! They stayed in contact and worked with us the best they could given our unfortunate circumstances.

Just book it!
I am so thankful we found and booked this property. It was basically brand new inside and everything was so tidy. We had an amazing time staying here. We comfortably fit 8 adults and two kids. It was great having the pool on site and just a quick ride to the beautiful beach. Check in and out we’re super easy and I really hope to stay here again. Can’t recommend enough!
