Beautiful house! Perfect beach access

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved that we could walk to the beach. The pool was fun for the kiddos and it was so nice that it was literally right to outside our door. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. Beds were comfy too! We would definitely return. It was the perfect stay for our family of 6.

Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to hear the property’s location and setup worked well for your beach and fishing plans, and that the garage was a helpful bonus. We do apologize for the issue with the gas stove and appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Our team already looked into this and confirmed all was working well. Please be reminded you are welcome to call us during your stay so we may send someone out to check on that for you! We hope to welcome you back again soon! -Padre Escapes

Hi Kerry! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate the balanced review and are glad to hear the kitchen was well equipped for your meals. We want you to know that we have a full on-site team available during every stay and would have loved the opportunity to address these items while you were vacationing. That said, we completely understand not wanting interruptions once you’ve settled in. Since your stay, the lamp and toilet issues have been taken care of. Luggage carts are something we do not provide for guest use, and we’ll also be taking a closer look at the hot water system to ensure it’s performing as expected. Regarding towels, they are stocked according to the maximum occupancy of the property. We truly appreciate you pointing out these details, as they help us improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a smoother, more comfortable experience next time.

Wonderful Vacation Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay. The townhouse was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Having the pool and playground right outside our front door was so fun and convenient with our little ones. The path to the beach is right outside the complex which made it super quick and easy to make beach trips throughout the day. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had so much fun on our stay and this unit is so close to the pool (which was amazing and the kids stayed in it pretty much the entire time) entry and walkway to parking lot. We loved this unit! The only issue we had was the light in the kids bedroom kept switching on and fan kept turning off, pretty sure the batteries in the remote need to be changed but that is an easy fix. Beds were comfortable and everything was neat and well maintained. Will definitely book here again!
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Jul 2025
We're so glad you and your family had a fun stay and enjoyed the property's location near the pool and parking! The remote issue has been fixed, and please don’t hesitate to reach out during your stay—we’re always happy to help make it even more enjoyable.

Great Family Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have a 1 and 3 year old — this was a perfect place for their ages. Accommodations were great, clean location. One thing to note is that there is not shampoo or conditioner, beach towels/chairs etc. also, we noticed the bugs get very bad near the playground and pool in the early morning and later sunsets so make sure you bring bug spray. We traveled beginning of September.

Perfect stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect place with littles! We have a 1 & 4 year old and they had a blast. The space itself had ample room for our family and included 2 full bathrooms. The 4 year old loved the bunk beds and was excited there was a TV in his room. The splash pad and playground are located right outside the front door which made visits easy. The 2 parking spaces were nice to have. Every night, we would walk to the beach (5 min tops) and walk the dog. We would stay here again and definitely recommend!

Fun & Convenient Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came to town for a baseball tournament and were thrilled to stay so close to the beach. We walked to the beach multiple times a day and had a short drive over the bridge to our tournament. The property itself was amazing! We were concerned about being so close to the pool, but we didn't hear any noise from the pool. The interior was beautiful, and the backdoor was right next to our two reserved parking spots, which made loading and unloading baseball equipment much easier. The kids loved the bunk room, and the king-size bed was very comfortable. We would love to stay here again and again! Padre Escapes was great with communication too!

Perfect for our Family of Four

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The townhouse was extremely clean and supplied as described. It looks just like the pictures in the listing! Communication with check-in and check-out information was timely and easy to understand. We liked that the door had a pin pad and we didn't have to worry about keys. The home felt spacious and airy with the high, vaulted ceilings. The beds and bedding provided were comfortable. Our kids loved the bunk beds! The kitchen was stocked with the utensils/dishware we needed, and I liked there was a full set of 12 or more of everything. The pool was nice and so convenient to walk right outside the door! We did not stay during a busy time, the pool is not huge and I imagine it could get quite crowded. The beach was also a quick 5 minute walk. We were very happy with Smugglers Cove- See Ya Soon- would stay again and recommend to others!
