Reviewer Comments:
The place was very nice and had a great location. It had three cozy bedrooms, but the living room was quite small and lacked a dining table. Unfortunately, we also encountered some pest issues. Despite these minor inconveniences, it’s still a good place to stay if the setup suits your preferences.

Reviewer Comments:
It was our last chance to make it out to the coast this summer and staying with Padre Escapes made it the best trip. The location was amazing and walking to the beach with small children was super convenient. The property was very clean and spacious. And the pool was incredible. I really wish we'd had one more day just so we could spend it at the pool. Would definitely return here in the future if we find ourselves back in Texas, and will be recommending Padre Escapes to any friends headed to Corpus Christi!

Reviewer Comments:
Memorial Day long weekend stay. It was a very enjoyable place for a family with kids. If you want a couple's getaway I would not recommend here. We stayed in the 3 bedroom condo. Very comfortable and clean. Master bedroom downstairs with an outside area with chairs and hammock. 2 bedrooms upstairs with bunk beds. Could use a dresser in the rooms but other than that it was great. They had noise machines in each room which was a life saver for sleeping late and naps for baby and young kids. It was a very nice touch. This condo was not next to the pool which was great because you didn't get the noise from the people in the pool. We were one minute from the beach, but the beach was super crowded, so we only went once. the condo was spacious and very comfortable.
