The property was beautiful, very clean and comfortable to stay at! We enjoyed how close the beach was and the private patio made for a great place for my young son to play in after the day at the beach.

Great condo!

We loved staying here. The condo was cozy and had everything we needed for a week long stay. The only complaint we have is there was a massive ant problem. So that was slightly annoying. Overall though, the condo was clean and accomodating to our needs.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was just as described. It was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the direct access to the pool, most nights we had it all to ourselves and it was so nice to just come and go as needed. The girls really enjoyed that part. Communication was great. We had a maintenance issue when we arrived, and they quickly sent someone to fix it. They were thoughtful and courteous, all while respecting our privacy. The location is great, close to beach access, shops, and restaurants. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two bedroom, two bath adorable bungalow with shared pool. Our pool unexpectedly was right next to the shared pool for the community, but we loved it. Guest were respectful of the pool hours and it was such easy access for us. I recommend more amenities for stays longer than three days. HOA needs more responsibility to clean pool and clear out the heavy concrete broken tiki table hanging over our small entrance to the pool area. Padre Escapes reservation and check out process was very easy.

North Padre Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 2nd stay at this rental complex but our 1st staying right next to the pool. Very convenient for our children. Was a little concerned at 1st about it getting a little too loud in the pool area but we had no problems at all. Everyone respected the pool rules and guidelines. Our unit was clean and had just about all the amenities we needed. Just be aware that these units don't have a bbq pit available for use. Probably just a safety concern. We were already aware of this though. It wasn't a deal breaker for us. Upon arrival we did notice the blinds within the back door facing the pool and a side door were not functioning properly. They would not completely close so we decided to call management to notify them of the issue. They immediately sent someone to fix the issue. I was surprised at how fast someone showed up being that is was a Sunday after 5pm. The complex itself is at a great location. Close driving distance to the beach, fishing spots, restaurants and shopping. We had a great time and plan on returning in the fall!
