This place upon review looked ok. But were taken back by the stench of the downstairs portion of this property. It was disgusting. The Black Mold was so bad it hurt just to breath. The entry way to the bottom floor was giving out so it sank beneath our weight. The entire property was covered in small roaches. We had to spray down showers to clear them out and wipe down countertops. However, it was in a great location, but it honestly needs to be condemned. We would have left that night, but it was very late to get another room. The property manager was gracious enough to return our money for this issue. I hope to God that they do not rent this out again. Because Black Mold is dangerous to humans and it would probably be illegal if the rented it to someone knowing that it could be fatal to someone.

For the price and location this place is great. There was plenty of space for our family of 18. The place is older but the upstairs is nice. Down stairs could use a little tlc. I would definitely recommend.

The bottom level smell makes the rooms down there unusable. Honestly they should just rent out the top so people are not tricked into bringing their family there. It smells like you are inhaling gas fumes the entire time downstairs. I wish I would have read the reviews first. But it does have a beautiful view and close access to the beach

Beach front home

I knew going in this was an older beach home and didn’t expect it to be updated or posh so seeing the upstairs was not a shock, the living room/kitchen/and dining room were big and comfortable enough to fit all 8 of us and was clean. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and comfortable enough. Unfortunately the entire downstairs (2 rooms and bathroom were completely unusable. There is a strong oil smell that was overwhelming even when we tried to air it out and there is visible mold on the AC vent and on the walls. We were unable to use any of those rooms and had to all 8 of us fit into the 2 rooms upstairs , which was super inconvenient and awkward. We could not reach the rental property to address this saturday morning and had to reach out to VRBO and it was only resolved (partial refund) after our trip. The upstairs, deck views of-the beach and access to the beach Are great but i would not expect to be able to use the downstairs at all unless u get confirmation they have resolved the issues.

NASTY AND OLD WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

The pictures must be old pictures when the place was nice, there was roaches and mouse droppings. The smell, oh god the SMELL….thankfully the management was actually 10/10, didn’t place blame or accuse just refunded very fast and professionally. Would recommend maybe using the rentonpadre management company to get something. Other than that DO NOT RENT HERE IT WAS VERY UNCLEAN AND RUNDOWN.

The location is great which I know is what we paid for, but the house is not great. Could not get from downstairs to upstairs without going outside which made us change sleeping arrangements and the downstairs group feel excluded. Couch was dirty and just slick on edges, only one TV upstairs. I know it said older, but was overpriced. Needs to at least put TV downstairs.

Perfect location

This house is exactly as they say, an older house that is kept up and taken care of. It is RIGHT ON THE BEACH though the access has some brambles so walk carefully with flip-flops. There was nothing we really lacked having there and it was comfortable. Could it use updating? Sure, but we were told what to expect by the managers prior to booking so no surprises were had. I would absolutely rent again for a relaxing trip with the kids.

Horrible experience

We stayed here for 2 reasons. The walkable direct access to the beach and a home we could all be in directly together. Horrible experience. Would never stay there again especially for the price during off season. The bottom section shouldn't even be available to rent. No clear walkway to the beach from the back deck. Stairs were blocked off due to high plants. Grass was so high you couldn't walk to beach. Stickers all along path to access beach. Old rusted chairs , two broke after my elderly mother and cousin sat on it. Such a hazardous and dangerous situation. Gladly nobody was hurt. Downstairs was disgusting. Whole section reaked of mold. AC vent was only in hall way , no circulation or vents in either rooms. Room closest to back porch was so hot. Thankfully it was a breezy and cool weekend. Portable fans were in room but didn't work only one that was small. Restroom was gross. Black gunk on baseboards. Shower rods rusted. Black markings all along shower. Bed in one of the rooms was lopsided. The top and bottom sections are separated, not together. You have to walk outside and up the stairs to gain access to upstairs section. Had I known this we would've just stayed in 2/3 separate condos or hotel rooms. Top section was nice , could've used a few touch ups but was the best section of the whole place. If it hadn't been for the top section being nice we probably would've left. Fridge didn't get cold at all. They did have pots pans and silverware for us to cook with. TV upstairs worked. Not sure about downstairs, couldn't get it too work. Washer nor dryer worked properly. We had to ring out clothes because they were soaked. Had to dry clothes about 3 times. Unannounced maintenance man came in during our stay to changed our AC filters The vents and filters were so filthy , after he changed it looked like it had been there for months. Not sure exactly what caused this but after leaving and returning home , multiple family members found bites on them possibly from bed bugs , either from upstairs couch or beds. Horrible experience if it hadn't been for the top section and it taking us 6 hours driving to get there would've just left.

Disgusting

Property filthy and falling apart, black mold downstairs, shower curtain filthy, cockroaches and mice. Not enough towels for 16 people and washer did not work. Only plus was access to beach and view, but not enough to pay the rental price. The property should be demolished and rebuilt. I would never recommend and I believe we should be given a partial refund. STAY AWAY!!

That View!

This place was clean. It sleeps a lot of people! It does need a lot of updating, but the price was right. The beach access was our very own. There were not many people in on the beach in that area. It was a wonderful stay away from others. There is a charcoal grill in the garage that we pulled out and used. At night we loved sitting outside on the deck and enjoying the view and the company. The staff at Rent On Padre were fabulous! We will be back!

Amazing location, cozy house

You just can't beat this location. The house is functional, and you can walk to the beach and numerous island shops, and the house has in-lot parking, so you don't have to worry about street parking. As noted by others, the downstairs is musty, and would not be good for those with mold allergies, and the accommodations are tight, but it's a great getaway location for those who can put up with those things.
