Walk along the beach

This was just what we needed. The accommodation was exactly what we wanted and just off the beach so that we could just walk down without having to take a car.

mom of 7

The location was great and within walking distance to the beach. The pool was a nice break in the evening. A couple cons would be being on the 3rd floor, air not getting cool enough during the day and the wagon and cooler I thought I could use on the porch were broken or rotten. I absolutely loved having the washer/dryer and full kitchen. However, the dryer could probably use some maintenance, as it takes a very long time to dry the clothes. The condo was clean upon arrival. One strange incident, a man had the code to our place and opened the door in mid afternoon. He said he was maintenance and did not know that we were staying there. He seemed nervous and asked if we had parking passes. In the moment I just went along with the conversation, but afterwards really wondered why he would just walk in because we had not called anyone up. Overall we had a great time as a family. My kids ages were 22,21,17, 15, 14, 11, 4. I was really impressed that there were little toys and legos available for the little one and also board games for the big kids. The walk to the beach isn't bad, but I did end of buying a beach permit for $12 to park on the beach so we wouldn't have to carry everything. We will definately be back.

Very Nice place!

Super close to everything! Very comfortable for a large group. We had some problems with the electricity but the property management did everything to resolve it in a timely manner. We will book again if we go back to Corpus.

Pleasant stay - close to the beach

Our family of six stayed comfortably here and enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. The three tier bunk bed is a bit shaky and should probably be reinforced or bolted to the wall.

Beach Vacation With Kids

It was a really nice condo that was great for kids due to the bunk beds in the second bedroom. We really enjoyed our vacation.

Good but needs some attention to details

We are a family of 6 that didn't have any major problems with the condo. What we did note can be attributed to the cleaning service and not the unit itself. Understanding it is Padre Island, steps away from the beach, we are not averse to the local wildlife seeking refuge from the heat too! The patio is perfect for morning coffee and enjoying the fresh marine air in the mornings, but double check the cushions as we found an active mud dobber nest behind the pillows. There were also some cleanliness issues with the bidet in the master bathroom. While we didn't use the feature, it did need a deeper cleaning then it was when we occupied the condo. We did that deeper cleaning on our own. As with many vacation rentals, be prepared for some shopping if you plan to make meals to include your own spices, only the minimal basic stuff is there. Some pots and pans were not clean, with many still having hard crusted food residue. We cleaned as best as we could with what was in the condo for doing such a task. The air conditioner settings are locked at their current settings, I could not figure out how to change the temp settings. But it was set at a comfortable cool setting at night. Also fortunately, the ceilings fan were in good working order and ran non stop day and night for us. We were not in the condo during the late morning into afternoon hours so can't tell you how well the unit retains the cooling, but it is on the side of the building that takes direct afternoon Sun. This place served its purpose well, with comfy bunk beds for the kids, but the master bedroom bed was heavily dimpled on one side of the bed, either needs to be flipped or replaced. But if you are tired enough, you won't have a problem sleeping, it wasn't that uncomfortable. 4 out of 5 stars is pretty accurate, maybe 3.75 stars, unless you are really picky and willing to pay for something more expensive, I would recommend this rental, since you don't come to Padre to hang out indoors the whole time!

A perfect place!

Our family of 6 loved staying in this beautiful condo. Our 3 older kiddos loved the kids room and bunk beds, all of the toys, games, etc. We brought a pack and play for our baby and it fit perfectly in the master closet. The house has everything you need! The private walkway to the beach was easily managed by our kids (ages 6, 4, 4) and stroller. The condo pool area was great and the overall location cannot be beat. We will be back!

Spring Break 2022

The property was very clean and a close to beach access. The third floor is a climb but we made it! We had some AC and alarm issues but maintenance was quick and got it fixed and taken care of! I would say if there was a downfall was the the heated pool was never heated. My little girls were looking forward to that. Very clean and plenty of towels and space. Would definitely stay here again!
