No problems at all. Took a little while to cool the unit down but it’s 90 degrees plus and humid since it’s the beach so to be expected. Once it cooled down it stayed cool. Make sure to bring extras like TP there were 5 of us and two rolls and we stayed 6 days so plan accordingly. Stores are close. Beach close. Easy walk to both pools

This is what beach vacations are all about! We're so glad you had a great stay and enjoyed being close to the beach, the pools, and nearby stores. It sounds like once the AC caught up with the summer heat and humidity, you were able to stay nice and comfortable! Thank you as well for mentioning our starter supplies. We provide a starter amount of essentials to help guests get settled, with nearby stores just a short drive away for anything needed during longer stays. We appreciate you choosing Padre Escapes and hope to welcome you back for another beach getaway soon!
