This property was what it said it was, Beach Chic. Our family loved the view from the balcony as well as the short walk to the beach. Plenty of room for the family and many great memories were made.

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.

Worst Place Ever!!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. 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: Before we made our choice we read a review that said it was like going home to grandma's. So we thought that was fine. We weren't looking for luxury, but this place was awful! Our first morning a mouse ran across the living room. The kitchen cabinets had dead roaches and mice droppings. The downstairs rooms weren't even connected inside the house,you could only get to them from the outside! The whole place smelled really strongly from pesticide. Panelling in the living room was falling apart under the window and is probably where the mice and bugs were coming in. Outside, there were various wires and cables just laying around. I actually tripped over them the 2nd day there scraping my knee quite badly. All in all very disappointing and will ever rent from your company again. We have photos of everything, just to prove our disappointment.

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: Great location. Beach is right outside the back door. Walking distance to most everything you will need. Upstairs is nicer than the downstairs, but if you need extra beds downstairs is acceptable. Would stay here again.

We could just hang out and enjoy ourselves. The deck is fabulous! We spent most of our time there.

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.

The Smelliest Beachhouse Ever...Mold and disrepair...stay away.

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: This is at least a 60YO+ house with all original paneling. Upstairs the house smells like the inside of a rotten humidor, and the section downstairs smells so strongly of mold it is basically uninhabitable. Forget about a good night's rest here. The AC freezes up and stops if you like 72 Degrees inside. There were broken blinds covering the seaside view, could not raise for the view. The Satellite dish had blown off the roof (it was so rusted)and there was a broken window on the seaside view. There was also water rot under one of the seaside windows and they had removed the rotten paneling there, exposing insulation to guests the height of a toddler. Unsafe.

Love that Deck!

The house is in a great location....it is right on the beach! Fabulous newer deck, although, it could use some new chairs. We just used our beach chairs. Lots of parking, you know how teens are, they want to drive their own car. The house was clean. That is the most important thing to us. It does look like it needs a bit of updating, but you can tell they keep it clean. We liked that there was space for everyone in our group. But that view from the porch, that was everything to us. Plus our own beach access. Thank you Rent On Padre for taking good care of us!

3 month winter Texan stay right on the beach

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: This was our second winter season stay at the Race Track. It’s location right on the beach and central location on the island lends itself to walking distance to most everything. Property manager was very helpful and cheerful. This beach cottage is one of the last right on the beach and is a unique experience. The view from the deck of the Gulf is unsurpassed.
