We (my sister and I) stayed in this unit to be close to my aging uncle, who lives in one of the units. We could walk just two units away, so the convenience was perfect.

I will Never do business with this company again

24hrs before leaving on our family vacation this company sends a text saying they are canceling our reservation for unforeseen circumstances. They were unable to get us another rental. We still ended up driving to Corpus Christi, drove by the location and “we see people walking out of the rental that we had reserved months in advanced” .NEVER AGAIN!!

Never again!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed at this location over the last 5 years and I have never had a problem like this before. I will not be staying at this location again. The weeds were overgrown, the pool key did not work, the wifi did not work, the master bathroom sink did not drain, and worst of all we fought off coachroaches from the moment we walked in to the minute we left. Totally disgusted with this rental!

Wonderful 2 month break from winter

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: My wife and I stayed at this cottage for 2 months this winter and had a wonderful stay. The cottage is nicely located on the Padre Island close to all conveniences. It is in a quiet neighborhood with some units rented and some permanent residents. It a very spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath unit. It is well maintained and managed by Padre escapes who were a very "hands on" company. They even sent us a notice that there was a watermain break nearby and we may be out of water which allowed us time to pick up some extra at the local cvs store. The only shortfall in the well equipped kitchen was the lack of a kettle and no bbq. The beds were very comfortable, the sofa bed, well its a sofa bed , enough said. Great stay, great location and most of all fantastic people!! We are already booked to return to Padre Island. We love being winter Texans!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome little house. Perfect for our vacation. It had everything we needed. It would have been nice to have a BBQ grill outside, but that's okay. We made due without one. Also I heard our neighbors in 101 or 102 had a spa in their backyard. That would have been the icing on the cake. Maybe next time! Just let me know.
