We Loved It!

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: Not out first time using Padre Escapes and this is our 3rd stay at Beach Club. This is our new favorite unite. Extremely clean and modernized unit. We had a small issue with the kitchen sink but propert MGMT/Padre Escapes handled before we could change for our afternoon beach trip. Great place and exactly what we needed for my small family. Padre Escapes is top notch. This is a great alternative to AirBNB. They offer a variety of locations, price ranges and resorts.

Zen Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very happy with the condo location, and condition. The staff was responsive to all of our needs. The only issues we had was that both windows screens were bent and would not keep fly's and other bugs out. The bed was not real comfortable and really close to the floor. Also next year we would like to be allowed to forward our mail to the condo address, we found that many other renters were allowed to do this.

Not quite as Zen as the pictures

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was happy to find this at the last minute for a holiday weekend. It is close to the beach but you are not going to hear the waves from the porch. The property is 30 years old and the carpeting in the common area hallway may be original. The AC is very noisy and the kitchen is very small. It was very clean inside but the outside windows needed to be cleaned. Pool area very nice and checkin and checkout was a breeze.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The unit was nice and it was clean. It was in walking distance form the beach. The building we were in needed upkeep, especially in the stairwells. There was pieces of sheet rock missing from the ceiling in the stairwell. It was not something they were working on as we were there for thirty days and and nothing was done with it. It wasn’t a danger just not that applying as your coming and going. I would hope they will get that repaired at some point. When we go back to North Padre we would stay here again.

Needs Work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were excited to stay in the property based on the pictures we'd seen. We arrive pretty late - after 10pm and when we walked into the unit we were hit with a very strong musty smell.I'm very allergic to mold/mildew so I did not have a good first night. We informed PadreEscapes who quickly got us into a much nicer unit. They handled all of this very well and saved our vacation. The unit has possibilities once they fix the HVAC/Mildew issue.

Fabuloso

Me gusto mucho la ubicación,y el lugar muy tranquilo y limpio. Había todo lo necesario para la estadía. La alberca con asadores fue muy conveniente. Lo unico que no me agrado fue que habia jovenes lanzando balones de fútbol americano en la alberca y le pegaban a la gente que estaba en la misma. Una pareja se adueño del jacuzzi ,puso su bocina a un lado y se queadaron por horas a tomar cerveza y no podíamos usarlo. De todo lo demas super genial.

Inside the condo waa nice and clean. Staircase and hallway to get inside were falling apart which i understand the struggles of storms. It was more of the brown stains of stuff seepping out of the holes and carpeted stairs that had so much debris and gunk on them. There was a sponge like someone started cleaning and gave up. It was very off putting for your first impression walking in.

Mold & Cold Hot Tub

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very 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: As soon as we walked into the building the ceiling above was missing & the wood was moldy. The air vent right outside our room was missing the cover and the inside was covered in inches of dust and dirt. The inside of our room was nice and comfortable, but the air ducts were dirty. I'm allergic to mold so I had hives my entire stay. The hot tub was broke too.This place would be amazing with some maintenance.

Close to Whitecap Beach

Property was nicely decorated and close to a beautiful beach. It would have been nice to have more towels. The dryer is on its last life. It sounded awful. The entryway and stairs are less than desirable. You can drive on the beach so it really isn’t necessary to have a beachfront room.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was ok. The Customer Service with Padre Escapes was excellent. They communicated with us upon arrival, during our trip and at the conclusion of our trip.Things with the property itself that need to be addressed are:Stairwell outside of unit is in disrepair due to leaks, Carpet was not clean at all.Dishwasher runs extremely loud.Dryer had a knocking noiseSpigot was coming out of the wall in the bathroom.Kitchen really needs a cutting board.Ice Maker does not work and ice trays leaked.Chairs on patio are cracked.Doors stick and blinds on the back door are broken.There was a report of a leak downstairs in the unit below. Not sure if coming from this room, but baseboards looked wet.TV in living room works but the color appeared to be going out.In spite of all these issues, the unit received a new bedroom mattress while we were there that made the stay better.
