Great location with excellent customer service, close to the pool and beach, and not far from other attractions on the island. Would definitely stay again.

Cute place. Have been wanting to check it out. Good location. Was very cold and windy, but we still enjoyed "looking at the water" and driving around to see other sites. Rest of time, just relaxed and visited with our friends that came with us!

Hi Debra! We love a cozy, wind-blown beach getaway Even when the weather doesn’t fully cooperate, a cute place, a great location, good views of the water, and time to relax with friends is still a win in our book. Thanks for checking it out and making the most of it—come back when the temps warm up and the breeze behaves a little better!
We loved our stay and the convenience of the beach nearby, as well as the community pool/splash pad. It was a great experience and very clean!

Wow! Thank you for your awesome review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We always strive to provide perfect, 5-Star service & accommodations! We would be happy to welcome you back anytime and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes.
Overall we were very pleased with the condo. Good location and cleanliness. The only thing that kept it from a 5 star was the side yard. We picked this place because we had our dogs with us and the yard was one of our requirements. The rocks in the yard were so sharp that our dogs refused to walk on it and we ended up having to walk them instead.

This was our third visit to Village by the Beach w/ Padre Escapes. Our unit was just as stated, clean and ready for us. There was plenty of space for grandma, grandpa, mom, dad and 2 boys 13 and 9.Pools were great and we loved being so close to the beach.We had a small hiccup when we got locked out of the condo, but with a couple of phone calls, since it was Sunday night we had a response in about 15 minutes and all was good.We can't wait for our next trip!

Thank you so much for choosing Village by the Beach for the third time—it means the world to us! We're so glad to hear the unit was clean, spacious, and comfortable for the whole family, and that you enjoyed the pools and being so close to the beach.
We appreciate your patience during the lockout and are happy our team was able to resolve it quickly, even on a Sunday night. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next trip!
Premier Gulf's 'Bondi Beach' property was a great place to stay! Very walkable to the beach and easy to access by car as well. Ample bedroom space for everyone and living area was well furnished and updated. The property managers were very easy to communicate with and even provided a highchair and baby gate for us at no extra charge! My only critique is that there were a few dust spots in some of the less-er touched areas/corners, but otherwise it was very clean and well-kept! I would stay here again.
Just off the beach as advertised. The place was great and the 3rd bathroom was convenient for our group of five. The kitchen and living area is upstairs (common for the island). The only issues were that we didn’t get the check in instructions until 10 minutes after check in time. We had a 5pm engagement across town which made it hard to make on time.Also, bring bug spray or the mosquitoes will eat you alive (another island problem). Otherwise, a very nice and relaxing stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The rental was in a good location and clean and with 3 full bathrooms it made showering after beach time easy with a family of 4. The appliances are older and could be felt in their usage. For example, the dryer took forever to dry the load of laundry that we did and the refrigerator seems to be on its way out. When we first arrived we had a hard time getting in the door, but with the helpful rental staff just a phone call away it was our user error and we got right in. Thank you for letting us stay in your home.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall everything was fine. Smokers have used this place in the past, lingering smell but not overpowering. No place to set anything in the entry except on floor. Kitchen & family area upstairs, unusual. Three bathrooms was excellent, kitchen excellent. Faucet near front door to rinse sand before entry helped a lot. Text information for entering property was received 10 minutes late (after check in time). If we needed the trundle bed located under the bunk bed in the front bedroom, it would have been impossible to walk in that room. The bunk bed upper rail needs repair due to a disconnected bolt. The exterior security light next to the front entry shines into the front bedroom window all night and cannot be turned off.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the three bathrooms, the kitchen, and the outdoor faucet — it definitely makes rinsing off after the beach easier! We appreciate you pointing out the areas that need attention as well, such as the lingering smoke smell and the bunk bed rail. Our team will look into these items to ensure they’re addressed for future guests. We’re also happy to report the light has been moved and the railing has been secured. We apologize for the delay in your arrival information — that’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll review what happened there. Thanks again for staying with us and for helping us improve.

Overall our stay was good, but there were things broken in our rooms (beds, holes in walls, shower curtains falling, etc.). Maintenance did not seem to make it a priority to fix our broken items. I stressed the bed being broken over the phone 3 times and they said they might get to it.. I told them we could not sleep there as it is broken and then they finally said they would send a maintenance person over to take a look at it. The kitchen was on the top floor which is stated in the listing, but we were still shocked at the layout every day. Overall, everyone slept really well and comfortable. AC was nice and cold the whole time. Access to the beach was easy and the pool was fun!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We apologize for this inconvenience, as this is certainly not up to our normal standard. We will be certain to address the issues mentioned to ensure that it does not happen again. We hope to welcome you back in the future and encourage you to give our office a call to book so that we may provide you with the most tailored experience moving forward.
We always enjoy our stay on Whitecap. We have stayed at several places the last 18 years so I may be a bit picky about this review. There were no plastic storage containers for us to use. The dryer took more than one drying cycle to dry our clothes. The framing around the ice maker on the freezer door was broken and kept falling off every time the door was opened. There's no water hose to wash off sand and chairs from the beach, just a faucet. The back door in the primary room: there are three locks on it: two deadbolts and the handle. The only one that worked was the top deadbolt and you really have to pull the door in the lock it; if you don't lock the top deadbolt, the door remains unlocked and unlatched from the door jamb which will ultimately swing open with wind, or in our case, the back door opened when the front door was opened/closed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
We're sorry to hear a few things didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing the dryer, ice maker trim, and patio door to our attention, and we'll be sharing those items with our maintenance team so they can be inspected.
Regarding the outdoor water hose, we're currently under Stage 3 water restrictions, so hoses are not permitted and have been removed in accordance with the local restrictions. We know they're convenient after a day at the beach, and we appreciate your understanding.
As for the storage containers, we provide a detailed list in our listing of what's included in the home, along with the items guests should plan to bring so they can arrive prepared with everything they need for their vacation.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another stay on Whitecap.
Thank you for the wonderful review!
We're so glad you and your furry family member enjoyed your stay! It's great to hear the property was a good fit, and we appreciate you choosing to stay with us.
We look forward to welcoming you back for another pet-friendly getaway soon!
