We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The condo was cozy with all the necessities. Only a few minutes walk to White Cap beach. Highly recommend for a couples getaway!!"

"This is the BEST place to stay in Padre!!
My family loves this property! We stay here every summer. It's walking distance to the beach and anything you need is right around you. The property itself is beautiful and all units are decorated in beachy sea themes. All of the units we've stayed in are clean, cozy and very welcoming. We really enjoy our stays here and will never stay anywhere else!! See ya next summer!!"

"Cunningham’s honey hole vacation
The management team went above all expectations, from booking to reassuring my anxiety prior to arrival to even during the day! The unit however was not like prior stays. Overall it was nice just needed some tending to. AC works however vents are facing walls and not the open area so takes a bit to cool down. Patio door knob needs replacing. Bathroom towel rack and sink drain were broken; husband temporarily fixed during stay. Loved the provided ice trays for guests!! Thank you again and will be back!"

"Beach Vacation
The location was perfect. The sheets and towels were very clean. I liked that the resort had a starter kit for the essentials. The staff was very nice when I called for a question, and I liked the fast response when I text as well. I liked the ease of the check in and check out process. The facade of the resort was very beautiful and fun and appealing. There were minor details. The pool was a bit small. I guess maybe because it is a smaller resort, so we did not take advantage of the pool. The microwave was encrusted with overuse of food, not happy with that. The appliances were outdated and rusted but we still took advantage to cook there so we could spend more time at the beach opposed to eating out. We did get bit by lots of mosquitoes in the condo. We are still dealing with all the bites as of today. We will need to buy a special cream. There was a roach in the kitchen on our last night. I believe with a few updates and getting these mosquitoes and roaches under control it would be a fantastic place to stay again. "

"Noisy vacay
As usual the managent company, (Property Management) was so patient, kind, and very helpful. They are courteous and do their best to assist. The rental was clean and convenient,however there was a very loud motor in the kitchen area closet. It would get louder in the evenings. It was very unpleasant and ruined the mood and relaxation. On top of that the day before leaving they started doing construction outside my room. Cutting, dropping of supplies, tools, just constant noise. The guys working were very nice but doing work by my room really was annoying."

"Repairs need to be followed up on
We have stayed at beach club everytime we come down since 2020 or 2021 when one of our kids started college in Corpus and this is by far the worst experience we have ever had, The unit was dirty, the blinds in the living area wont go all the way down so I had to put pillows to block the view, the shower had mold / mildew in it, the A/C filter grate was filthy & the bed had dog hair & we found PUBIC HAIR in the bed!! GROSS!! The remote in the living area was sticky, had **** figuring out how to use the TV's in both rooms, there were instructions on how to trouble shoot the televisions but no instructions on how actually use the TV. Some of the issues we encountered were previous complaints in the reviews mentioned by previous tennants like the blinds over a year ago, the TV's problems, the mold / mildew in the shower and the overall cleanlines so to me it's quite clear the propery owner / manager just doesn't care about this unit or read reviews, this will be the first and last time we rent from (Property Management), at least the one unit we rented in the past when we told the property manage / owner about the microwave not working it was fixed the next time we happened to be in that unit. The last thing is the abandoned car in our parking area, not our spot but our area, the tags have been expired Feb 2024 and it's plain to see that it's been there at least that long with all the **** under it and the cob webs from the bumper to the ground"

"Padre July 2023
The property overall was very nice and well maintained
The unit was old and not very clean we had to mop the living area floor, the AC was not working but they fixed it within 2 hours of our arrival. The thermostat never worked properly the mop and broom in the unit were old and not very functional and not much use. The living room blind would not go down all the way. We had to hunt for the bedroom remote. Took 2 days to find. It was adequate but certainly not anything else. Very small. Lamp shades stained. Parking spot across the lot. Not convenient at all. "

"Worst experience ever
Place was infested with roaches. Killed 4 on the first night. Wife was not comfortable sleeping there after that. Blender didn’t work. Only 2 towels and 2 wash clothes for 2 people for a 4 night stay. Then water was shut off at the complex for 6 hours from noon to 6pm. After seeing all the roaches I asked about canceling rest of days. Was told no. After not having water for 6 hours I asked for a discount and was told no. Then after the stay and review I get an email saying I could get a discount on another stay if I wanted to come back. No.... Worst AirBNB experience ever."

"WONDERFUL VILLA BY THE BEACH
The unit was spotless upon arriving. It was very cold that week and the heat was on when we arrived which was awesome. The decor and furnishings were perfect. Washer and dryer worked well, great water pressure and hot water for the shower. The unit was quiet. The property mgmt. company is extremely professional and responded promptly and efficiently to any question we had. Will definitely usen Padre Escape again!"

"Birthday Weekend
It was overall a great stay even with a power outage and some bad weather! One thing I didn’t appreciate though was I was not contacted about a couple of items I may have left there on the property even though I was told by customer service that the owner would get back to me. Nevertheless, it was a great weekend!"

Very clean. Needs a few things to be more comfortable for "vacation " time.
Black out curtains! Super BRIGHT in the mornings! Pre Check in process can be challenging. Need to supply packets of condiments, coffee, etc. When arriving late, pita to have to go get coffee, sugar, etc. At least have 1st morning coffee..."

"Pictures are more impressive than actual unit
When we walked into the unit there was a moldy smell - We called, and they sent over someone to clear the smell. It only really covered the smell up for a short time and the smell did end up coming back quicky during our stay. The pictures certainly painted a different perspective then the actual unit itself. I was disappointed in the building and the interior of the apartment was mostly put on with lipstick as a renovation. We also didn't like that the actual parking spot was across the street in front of a different building as well. "

"Texas 2022
We were in most part pleased with unit. I had wanted a two bedroom fell through, but (Property Management) helped secure this unit. The furniture was outdated and uncomfortable, but the unit owner replaced while we were there. It was so much better. (Property Management) was very helpful whenever we needed them; however it did take 4 days to fix the entry lock. I did not think that the maintence of the rest of the building was very good. The hall in front of the unit was never very clean. We saw a house keeper once cleaning hall. We have booked at beach club again, but in a two bedroom, we just need more space for ling stay."

"Not a great stay!
The condo smelled bad upon arrival. The couch was covered with dog hair. All surfaces were sticky. The floor was filthy. The place also has cockroaches. So upon arrival, for vacation, I had to buy cleaning supplies and clean before moving in. We won’t be back!"

"Last Minute Getaway
We stayed at Villa By The Beach Resort from August 9th through August 14th. We were very pleased with everything from the ease of the check-in to the location of the villa to the cleanliness of the room when we arrived. This is a great location to the beach, to the pet friendly concept of the resort. The room was identical to the pictures that were posted on the site. There was a slight musty smell on arrival, but didn't notice it after a while. The room was very comfortable, and my wife and I were very pleased with how comfortable the bed was. We will definitely be back to this resort. "

"I would avoid this place or agency “(Property Management)”
I would not recommend using this agency that manages the property as it’s such a scam how they apply “fees”. I had two small 10lb dogs and was charged $280 for a two night stay almost the same cost as the unit itself. The catch is when you check out on the site and pay for your room you see the breakdown of charges the daily rate, “administrative fees, cleaning fees” taxes and you get a grand total so one would think that this fees are also inclusive of your pet fees...WRONG. You get those fees after you have made the booking and are sent the renters contract a day later by the management company and then they run your card again to tell you the pet fees are not included and now you owe an additional $280 for the two night stay. I have used on many occasions and each time I have checked out the fees list or include the pet fee I have never had to pay after my reservation was booked. The management company tried to put it off on saying this is how sets up their site .. no I don’t believe that you as the property owner I’m sure would dictate to how you want the payment process to work or be handled all as one transaction. Yes the listing shows fees for pets but again if you are going to charge a fee that should all be included and tallied up when you checkout so at that moment you as the consumer can decide if you want to pay these OUTRAGEOUS fees. I will NEVER use a property that is managed by (Property Management) as they seem very shady and non pet friendly. "

"Coast Vacation
Room was nice and we had a nice stay. A block from the beach, restaurants, etc. Pool was nice. I had two issues that was a detractor for me personally but probably wouldn't affect other families. 1. The property was not listed on the description as not being ADA compliant. The 1st floor units still require 4 to 5 step stairs would made (no wheelchair ramps) which caused issues for my wife with MS coming and going more freely. I would suggest listing this on the description. 2nd, The complex does not provide any type of water hose for it's guest. The unit by the pool was always locked and the hose by the boat trailer parking never had water. These are areas neighboring complexes where we normally stay have an edge for me personally."

"Could of been better
When you get to the apartment door it looks very dirty an run down and we where very worried the inside would also be like that. Luckily it was better. There where many things that need Improvement such as the microwave was very dirty inside the side of the refrigerator was so dirty it was nasty the refrigerator handle kept falling off there was no hand soap there were no kleenexes. The large art piece on the Wall fell on our daughter while she was sleeping on pull out sofa. It fell a total of 3 times during our 5 day stay. The furniture was very worn out and falling apart. The bed was very comfortable. All in all it was a nice place but for the price it should of been cleaner and have a few extra. 4 towels for 3 people is not enough so I had to do wash many times. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. The location was nice and the pool was nice and having the fishing pond there was nice. Details matter when having a rental. I own one and little things make it or break it. I would not come back and spend as much as I did for what I got. "

"Felt like Home, but Property not well managed, fees double cost
We had a nice stay and the room felt like home. It was very comfortable and very well furnished and the location was perfect. The property itself was in disrepair sagging steps and broken handrails leading into the building, and the entire lawn was filled with stickers and grass burs. For what people pay to stay here they dont expect to be digging stickers out of their feet and their pets paws. The unit wasnt unclean but there were underling issues with stickers and grass burs in the furniture, and water roaches in the unit. When the add on fee's nearly double the cost of rent you are paying, you expect a little more from the place. 200$ in pet deposits + 50$ pet cleaning fee? then whats the pet deposit for? 90$ reservation fee and 65$ preparation fee, preparation for what? I could have paid for a 2bedrm suite in town had bfast buffet, a bar in the hotel and spent less $$ and only been 15min further from the beach. The National chain restaurants in town were way better than the way overpriced local ones on the Island you would think people that live on the Island could do fresh fish right. So I can see no advantages to staying on the Island for the added cost on my next visit. "

the place was cute and it's nice that it was on the 1st floor. Only thing was that when we got there the place still had sand and fur on the floor and sheets and had to do a quick sweep. Called the office to ask about clean up and the quickly responded and help me change sheets. Other than that, it was a nice stay all in all. "

"Great Location
We stayed almost 2 months. Block and a half to the beach was awesome. The complex is really nice, pool, hot tub work out room etc. Condo is a good size for two people. Kitchen is small but has everything you need. Great 1st floor location. AC units are right off the deck, so can be a little noisy when the windows are open. Inside is nice, needs a little updating, but again everything you need to be comfy.Owners were nice enough to let our dogs stay and they enjoyed it. Lots of folks with dogs there. (Property Management) folks were amazing, really glad to have a rental company when you are staying for a few weeks. Very responsive!! "

"Nice Location /Pet Friendly
Walking into the building, it is very bad in need of paint and carpeting needs replaced/upgraded. The condo we stayed in was 112. It was ok for a 3 day stay but not up to our standards. The furniture needs replaced as it had stains as well as the table and chairs. Make sure you bring your own pots/pans/cookie sheets/blender etc. Cookie sheets was rusted as well as very stained. Thankfully I had aluminum foil to line them. The one frying pan was Teflon that had many scratches and almost looked unuseable but I needed to fry bacon so I did. At home I throw these pans away if they have just a few scratches. The bi-fold doors to the laundry/trash was just dirty and in bad need of paint. I would take ur own coffee pot too. I wanted to use blender but it had crusted on food inside it so I put it back in the cupboard. We had a dog but the floors/couches had lots of dog hairs when we arrived. The pull out couch and king bed was very comfy. And it’s not a “short walk” to the beach...like a 1/2 mile or more. I personally would not rent this particular room again. Spoke to ppl in hot tub and they said their studio condo was very nice and clean. Pool/hot tub was nice. "

My second time to stay at the property. Only complaint is that on Saturday afternoon, we got into the pool and the bottom was gritty and the water was cloudy with sand. There was also a lot of hair in the pool. My suggestion is to clean the pool a few times a day during busy weekends. "

"Clean and Close to Padre Beach
Overall good experience. Clean and well stocked condo. On first floor. Only 2 issues I noticed - 1. Door knob broke apart on 2nd night. It was clearly overdue for replacement before we arrived. I informed the front desk when we checked out. 2. Parking system is for the birds. Assigned parking is given out but the parking spot for this unit is across the lot in front of a different building. There were 4 spots directly in front of the door that were totally unused the whole weekend. Could really reassess parking situation. "

"Wish it could have been better
Upon arrival the place was neat and looked clean and a card was on the counter stating the unit had been inspected and stocked.... until we saw the ceiling fan in the bedroom. It had not been cleaned in a long time. Several items needed repair, including the broken and unusable toilet paper holder and shower head. The pull out bed in the living room needs a real mattress. The air conditioning vents need updating. Neither one can be the bedroom was aimed at the bed and quite cold, while the living room vent did not cool the room at all. Then came the roaches. The management company offered twice to send someone to attend to all these issues, but we declined as we were resting or gone and didn't want anyone in the condo while we were not there. I hope the owner will attend to these issues as the price per night was a bit pricey for the inconveniences."

"Great Location Exceeded Expectations
Excellent location. Walking distance to the beautiful beach, the liquor store, convenience store, and our favorite Bar & Restaurant "The Boathouse". You simply must have a Bloody Mary when you are there. Everyone we met on the Island was super friendly. The condo is nothing fancy but it is cozy. It is rather tiny but for our needs (3 Adults) it was okay. The location is most excellent. One complaint - there is no exhaust fan for the oven/stove so if you even whisper the word smoke the smoke alarms go off. The smoke alarms work incredibly well and I am sure they woke up the neighbors in the adjacent property (500 yards away) We cooked bacon one morning. Mistake.
I would definitely stay there again but I would suggest this property for 2 Adults maximum. The bed was perhaps the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on. Sincerely! Unfortunately I was sleeping on the couch. LOL Regarding previous comments about an odor in the unit, There definitely is one. But it was not a real bad odor and we concluded that it was the brand new floor.
We had a fabulous time and wished we could stay longer."

"Polar Vortex Villa
We were victimized by 40 degree below normal temperatures in early November. Discovered there's not much to do on Padre and in Corpus Christi in weather like that. The management company staff suggested we visit Port Aransas. There was nothing to do there either. They did however suggest that we might try to find the senior citizens center there, which we found mildly humorous.
The condo itself was very nice. However, upon our arrival, we found that the we could not turn the shower on to hot water. We reported the problem and a maintenance man came out the same day, with the needed part and repaired it in short order.
Our biggest complaint though was the condition and location of the grills. The description online implied that the grill was conveniently located near our condo. Not the case! The grill was some distance away, old, dirty, rusty, and obsolete! Charcoal! Really?! We tried to grill once and after using an entire bag of charcoal (and freezing during the process), we gave up and brought the slightly warm steaks inside to finish on top of the stove."
