"Annual October Beach Retreat
We come to the island several times a year but one of them is always October. We’ve stayed at many other properties but have been staying at El Constante more and more often. They ate wonderful condos right on the beach."

"Wonderful beach place
The rental was perfect for our needs. We were attending a wedding on the island and wanted to stay on the beach. We’re usually hotel people but couldn’t find anything on the water, so we used AIRBNB. I was initially hesitant as we’ve had an issue in the past but this location was perfect; patio on the beach front, clean, well appointed and the hosts instructions were easy to follow. Zero complaints and would use them again. "

"Great Stay and Great Vacation
I have been staying here since I was a kid and it is always a good, pleasant stay. The room was great, right on the beach. The bed was so soft, the pillows could have been more firm however. The front desk people were so nice and helpful. I will keep coming back, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. "

"Rm 101
Our time spent on the beach was wonderful- the room was clean.
We were unable to use the TV because we could not connect to internet. We used our hotspot - we don’t really watch much tv so not a problem - Just wanted you to be informed.
Kindly, FYI - When the dishes were put away they were soaking wet.
And, we have stayed in this room before and the mattress cover is really soft, not very supportive.
Thank you

"Easy & Comfy Beach Vacay
Our stay was easy and very comfortable. The unit couldn't have been more conveniently located and had everything we needed.
The only imperfections--
- the AC made a noticeable high-pitched noise any time it ran
- the toilet seat is small and flimsy and pinches
- towels and TP were nearly not enough for the length of our stay
- the porch chairs were small and flimsy; we worried they'd break
- the TV is in a peculiar location the one time we used it"

"Unit 101 - soft bed, a little loud, great location
(Property Management) was great and El Constante is great. CONDO 101 is in a wonderful location facing the ocean BUT located next a bank of several LOUD air conditioning units (beware if you like quiet sleep atmosphere). Also the bed is VERY SOFT mattress with pillow top plus a 3" memory foam on top. We took the memory foam off and I still sunk down but could tolerate it. This is not a standard hotel mattress. "

"Corpus Christi trip
Love the location, right on the beach. Will recommend the property but not that specific condo. The air conditioner had a high-pitched noise all the time. The condo had such a strong smell of mold and mildew that we had to leave the door open to air out when we arrived. One guest had respiratory problems because of it. "

"Superb Beachfront Property
Check in was a breeze as everything is done on-line. The property was SUPER clean and in tip top shape as everything was in perfect working order. On Saturday I couldn’t get the TV to come on to cable and guest services were there within 5 minutes to adjust the cable box and bring it back on line. Excellent customer service!"

Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing vacation. We're beach people so we come to spend time on the beach and not much else. Being able to walk out the door onto the beach is perfect."

"Comfy, great location.
Overall, this is a great place to stay. However, there were a couple things I noticed with the condition of the property: no hot water, has tankless heater that tripped the breaker every time we attempted to use hot water. The hand towel holder fell off the wall, useless. I left a list of issues on the kitchen counter. Terrific beach access. Clean grounds, small shower to wash sand off prior to entering the condo. Nice porch, good view of beach and surrounding area. Comfy bed. Needs new coffee maker and shower head. "

The condo was great and clean when we arrived. We felt right at home the whole week. We loved waking up and going to the beach and being close enough to come back for lunch. "

"Loving the little cottage on the beach!
Precious little cottage for 2 with wonderful views of the ocean sitting on your porch. When ready can walk down to the ocean in a few steps! Enjoyed the convenience. Property was well maintained and the condo was clean and charming! Great time!"

We loved our stay at El Constante. Our room was awesome and our beach front condo had beautiful views. We will definitely be back. The staff at El Constante were very nice and helpful!"

"Not as good as previous visits-a few issues made big difference
Have stayed in El Constante Unit 101 MANY times over last 20+ years, so obviously, we like the unit. But 3 frustrating issues with most recent stay: 1)Had no hot water-the repairman said the water heater in locked closet was off after a power outage. Then had to wait another 48 hours for full hot water to kick in. 2) Bed was replaced sometime in last couple years, and the mattress and added topper are super uncomfortable-way too soft, NO support. Had backaches the whole stay. 3) We are used to hearing people walking in unit above, because there is no insulation/sound-proofing, but this time the folks upstairs were running, stomping, slamming things on floor, no way to sleep through that. Called front desk and asked them to intervene, was told probably new guests moving in and excited kids. No change in noise level. Made our time a lot less restful and enjoyable"

"BREATH TAKING VIEWS!
We loved our stay in UNIT #107 & 101!
It’s spectacular to wake up to the sunrise.
Unit 107 had these small black bugs flying around. Looked like fruit flies & Unit 101 has a horrible smell in bathroom sink. Our stay was perfect except for those two mentioned! Unit 101 is decorated so nice! Another thing!!! Bring a good knife with you because the knives in both units are dull. Hard to slice a lime & units don’t have a nonstick pan. VIEWS & LOCATION THE BEST!!!"

"Salty Air For the Soul
The condo was lovely and just the right size for a getaway with my husband. It was comfortable and had almost everything you needed. With your front porch looking at the waves and the quiet even with the beach full of people was perfect for reading and having a glass of wine. Walk right on to the beach for a lovely walk up or down the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this condo anytime. In fact we are thinking of coming back in the fall if we have the time. The only recommmendation that I would have is stock coffee filters if possible. I know covid has changed so much so maybe that is not allowed and maybe at least one coffee sample for the pot on the first morning. Otherwise this location was ideal!"

"Poor Housekeeping and odors in room, but love the location
The overall outside property is clean and well taken care of, but the room itself needs more attention. The amenities are find but the cleanliness of the of the room is not acceptable. The odor of the room was noticeably musty, or cigarette, or doggy smelling when we walked into the room which they tried to fix by putting a ionizer in while we went shopping. After sitting on the sofa we noticed that it smelled also. The area carpets were very dirty and a trip hazard for disabled people. The furnace roared and whined so was very irritating when it came on. I have loved staying here for many years but the quality of housekeeping is questionable. The floors are in need of deep cleaning. Our slippers were filthy after just a day of walking in the unit. This is not the first time that we were disappointed with our room. The appliances were clean, the bed was comfortable, the fixtures in the bathroom were clean, and appearance of the room was nice. The tv and accessories were in a awkward spot and the internet would not stay connected in our unit. We would have to connect to other rooms. "

"El Constante 101K
Outstanding experience! Morning views of the sunrise were spectacular. Beachfront location is wonderful. Facility was accommodating and clean."
Oct 30, 2021 - Daniel R., Fischer, TX
"EXACTLY what I wanted and only a FEW steps to the waves!
So relaxing. Very inviting, clean, colorful, comfortable. Bed and bedding was heavenly. staff was beyond helpful and johnny on the spot. pool, sidewalks, parking lot, boardwalk, bbq area, porches, everywhere I looked was spotless. extremely secure with property codes, never felt scared or uneasy. This particular condo however did not have things I have come to expect: salt, pepper, coffee, filters, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. the VERY BASICS were missing. Kind of weird because everything else was amazing but other than that? I will definately be back. Wonderful 2 days. "
Oct 07, 2021 - Cindy T., San Antonio , TX
"Nice stay
Clean Condo, opened to the beach. Nice, large pool. Highly recommend this property. Only issue - Commode whistled constantly, but we reported it and the facility office was very helpful. Otherwise, very satisfied - We will be back!!"

"Days in the sun
Four perfect days walking out the front door and facing the sea. The apartment was totally comfortable and accommodating. Limited TV viewing only setback."

"My stay
We love the condo! But, the ceiling fans or in bad shape. The one over dining shakes real bad, and the one in the bed room growls all of the time when it is on low speed. The air conditioner struggled to keep the condo cool in the heat of the day."

Everything went great for our stay. We will be returning!"
Aug 24, 2021 - Jacob R., Caldwell, TX
"Beachfront Location
This is an ideal location if you are looking for quick access to the beach. This unit has an extra window with boardwalk views. The condo was clean with a fully equipped kitchen and a very comfortable queen sized bed. The only drawback was hearing the heavy footsteps and activity of the upstairs occupants. So no sleeping in if the upstairs unit is occupied because the kitchen of the upstairs unit is over your bedroom. Other than that we highly recommend this unit!"

"Beachfront retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at this place. It was nice to walk into a clean, safe place and feel right at home. Everything we needed was there except the food we brought. We were treated like welcome guests our whole time there. The pool and grounds are clean and welcoming. We especially enjoyed being able to sit on the porch and watch the ocean. We will be back!

Nicely updated and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Was a bit dismayed though that I was required to bring my own toilet paper and trash bags. They provide one roll to get you started but that's it. Would expect more for the price in that regard but we enjoyed our stay."

We had the most wonderful time. We were celebrating our 39th Wedding anniversary. We just happened to stumble on where it had nightly weekly and monthly rentals and take a chance and call to see if they have availability. They happen to have a unit right on the beach which was perfect. We enjoyed it so much and looking forward to coming back"

"Great get away!!
We had a great time! The beachfront condo was AMAZING and just what we needed. There were a few cons though that will prevent us from staying there again for a few years. There was no deadbolt on the door and with a toddler who LOVES the water, it was very hard to stop him every minute we were in the condo from opening the door. "

We have stayed in 3 units on the front and this one is the best so far. It is decorated very nice. The bed and pullout sectional couch are very comfortable. You can't beat the location of El Constante...right on the beach. "

"Perfect Vacation Spot!
This was our second year to stay at El Constante. Having learned the layout of the property last summer, we were able to stay in a condo that directly faced the ocean! The room was clean and well-stocked. The pool area is great! The staff is super friendly and helpful. And the beach is SO CLOSE! Just walk down a few steps and--BAM! You're on the beach! I highly recommend El Constante."

I look forward to this vacation every year, and being able to stay at El Constante is the icing on the cake. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The room i stayed in is perfect.

We loved the condo we rented, but three days before checkout we were moved into another condo that had mold in it, very old and unkept. There was nothing offered as far as the difference in what we paid for beach side to where we were moved. "

"The Mitchells Padre Vacation
We had a wonderful time at North Padre, in spite of some rain almost everyday. Our room was right across from the beach, comfortable, and decorated nicely. No problems with the room or the staff. I highly recommend El Constante and especially room 101.Of the 3 souvenir shops we visited, we thought the Padre Islander was the best."

"Love the view
The view from the front porch was wonderful. "
Sep 12, 2018 - Valerie C., Madison, AL
"Paying for the view
The view is beautiful!! It’s the first thing you see before you even open the door to the room. At first glance walking in the room, it was small and seemed nice. Outdated but nice and functional. The bed was not comfortable at all. If It wasn’t a two night minimum, I would have checked out the very next day because I did not get good sleep. It’s an extremely firm, cheap bed, pillows included. The price you pay for the room is definitely for the view. We changed the sheets the first night because there was hair all over the originals. I’d recommend taking your own set of sheets and pillowcases for piece of mind. There are water spots on the bathroom ceiling so that’s probably an issue they need to look at."

"Management/Housekeeping issues, with a great view of the Gulf
Stayed at El Constante two years ago it was wonderful ! Not this time, I called twice to verify there was no construction, after I checked in Wednesday, was told they would be cutting whole in bedroom wall to repair cable, also construction of steps to the second floor unit above us was going on. Next morning @ 8:30 person started painting handrail where we would sit to enjoy the view of the beautiful gulf, but no chairs and he was there. Contrustion again started on stairs to unit above us. Unit needs a deep deep cleaning ! Hair lent etc on couch, dirt under table that we had not used, baseboards you can see not cleaned in long time etc. Unit needs some updating also. Called 8:50 AM told someone would return call, called again @ 9:40 AM, Talked to Jeremy with my issues, he really did not care, he said would refund my money less one night stay of 150 plus cleaning fee 40 and tax, I said you have to be joking about the cleaning fee, he agreed not to charge the cleaning fee. Asked him if he could discount the unit fir the month said maybe 100 or 200 would have to contact owner, than continued to say that Nomatter what I was not going to happy, should just refund my money. Jeremy really did not about my issues at all. Really to bad that El Constante changed management. Since I had called twice about construction, the issue of coming to cut hole in bedroom wall and man painting the first morning was really wrong. So sad ! "

"...after 35 years of staying @ El Constante...
this visit was a bust! Glad to see the renovation underway. When we arrived to Unit 101, the inside temp was 85 degrees. The a/c unit was frozen requiring attention. My husband removed a dead rat from the drip pan. Then the ants arrived, ruining 1/2 of our groceries on the counter. Not one of our best visits... "

"Generally great place, but harsh lights need to go
I love this place and have stayed here a number of times both with family and alone. Last year I stayed in #101 beachfront and has a great time. This year, I was disappointed to see that they have put in very harsh bright security lights above the beach front rooms. I come to the beach to be outside as much as possible (not in front of the TV) and this really affected my experience. Once those lights came on (at dusk, the most beaiutiful time of day) had to walk away from my patio to be able to enjoy the sky and ocean. They even lit up the beach!!! Between this issue and the new $47 cleaning fee, I'm not sure I'll be coming back to El Constante. It makes me sad, but I can't see paying the prices they charge to have glaring lights in my eyes as soon as the sun starts to set. No other properties along the beach in that area had lights like this, and it seems unnecessary to me."

Pros:

Cons: you can't choose your neighbors ! The apartment above us was very loud, like moving furniture around at 2 am !!"
