Great Family Stay

Only issue with staying here was it wasn't long enough. Great location. Close to the beach. Loved the pool/splash pad as it gave an option for our little ones. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice property!

We were in town for my son's winging, so we did a lot of driving between Corpus Christi and Kingsville, which meant we weren't able to spend as much time at the property as we would have liked to. We had 10 members of my family and there was more than enough room for all of us. The property was very clean, there is a nice view from the upper levels, good location near the beach. We would stay again.

Big Family Vacation

Overall we found the unit very clean and had plenty of room for our group of 16. Easy check in and close to the pool. The only thing we would have changed is the location of the kitchen and living room. They are located on the 3rd floor which is great for the view but also means a lot of carrying groceries up stairs when cooking for a house full. Luckily we have teenagers that were able to do the bulk of the up and downs. Very nice house and the location is great.

Very accommodating

This was a great beach house. My only complaint was that the sofa’s were drenched for some reason (maybe cleaner??) we flipped them over and it was fine. The kitchen is on the 3rd story so carrying coolers up was kinda of exhausting. We all had fun though!

Beaches

We took our extended family on vacation, ages 6 to 62. We had a great time. We found that the beach was a 10 minute walk away. We couldn't get the televisions to work in any of the bedrooms so the kids actually gathered on the main floor with us! We usually have to force them away from their games & such. It was a wonderful experience. We ordered groceries for delivery. Our extensive order was there in a couple of hours so that was a bonus. There's enough room for 18 people. We're thinking of bringing more folks down in the future.

Great Location, Beautiful Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this location due to its ability to sleep our whole family while we were in town for my mother’s funeral. The location was ideal. With its proximity to the beach, we could easily take a break and relax when needed. Only a couple of suggestions for improvement. The water pressure in the upstairs sinks is very low. Also the pots in the cabinet had to be rewashed. The detergent dispenser in the dishwasher didn’t open, so that is probably the cause - they were likely put away by the cleaning staff directly from the dishwasher and they didn’t realize they were not clean. We had a minor issue with a slow draining shower, but the maintenance team responded quickly and repaired it for us. Thank you for providing our family a peaceful, comfortable place to gather.

5th year Family Beach Weekend

A really beautiful townhome. Lots of beds, bunks and room. We had three families including seven adults, an 11 yr old, 4 yr old, 3 yr old, and a 17 mo. old. The bedroom/bath rooms worked out great, every family had their own suite and a TV and privacy!! The top floor kitchen/dining/living room was large. The dining room had a large dining table that could seat eight easy and the breakfast bar had four large stools. The living room has sufficient comfortable seating for all and the kids had running room. This was great as we had a rainy weekend. The bottom bedroom/entry with two sets of bunk beds was a hit with he kids. The kitchen was equipped with enough cooking implements, etc. A blender would have been great, but alas no blender. The view of the dunes and beach from the top deck was wonderful! We even saw a small coyote early one evening. The unit was a comfortable walk to the sparsely populated beach and was maintained to the immaculate level. The maintenance staff was very competent, friendly and responded to our requests promptly. We requested the pool heater be turned on this chilly weekend. If the HOA would have responded and activated the heater for the small pool all kids, old and young would have enjoyed the pool much more. Also, although this is a beautiful unit the stairs (33) were a little much for some of us ( 60+ and 70+), but that did not diminish our enjoyment of the beautiful townhome and spending the weekend with our extended family!

Ac was not working & loud party next door

For 2 days it was over 80 upstairs and took all day after we called to finally get it fixed. Then the next 2 nights loud music and party kept us up way after midnight and woke up the baby. I will not stay at this place again.

Beautiful home, check in instructions need help

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is beautiful and comfortable. We loved all the room, the view and ease of getting to the beach. The pool was great too. Check in process was not great. The instructions say check in begins at 4 which means I should have instructions or an update by 4. I had to reach out when there was no communication and not given a time frame for when I could get into the place. If check in doesn’t actually begin at 4, then that should be explained ahead of time so I don’t have to wait with 15 people outside the unit. We could have planned to do other things if we had known the place wasn’t going to be clean. All we got told was we’ll let you know when it is clean and thanks for your feedback- check in begins at 4 is very ambiguous, does that mean it goes until 10pm as well? That is not great customer service and doesn’t make me want to book with Padre escapes in the future. I would like to check in at 4 or have better communication or be compensated for my time for the late check in. Luckily the home was clean. The only issue we had was one bathroom didn’t have soap and there was no dishwasher soap- if you want us to run the dishwasher when we leave, that should be provided. It would be nice in the future if y’all considered providing beach/pool towels and shampoo/conditioner for your guests. I did know that ahead of time and packed accordingly.

Good location

Great location and lots of room. Biggest issue is the kitchen and living room are on the 3rd floor, away from the backyard (only an issue because we had a dog with us, so constantly going up and down the stairs to let them out). I think that was in the listing but we missed it (our fault). The kitchen was missing a few things such as hot pads to grab hot things out of the oven (we had to use a towel). And very limited dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, and paper products for a 5 day stay (when the property emails you before the trip saying to bring your own stuff, they mean it!). I'd recommend bringing more kitchen towels too, as they provided 2 and you go through them quickly.WiFi worked great, lots of TV's with access to Netflix and Disney was great! Very easy walk to the beach (also easy to drive if you need to bring more stuff). Easy check in and check out process.

Birthday Bash

9 of us had a wonderful time together celebrating family birthdays. Each family had their own floor for sleeping. There were several issues with the house. The pocket door to one of the bathrooms would not close and the exterior doors were hard to open and close. The electric plugs on the kitchen bar did not work and the big kitchen clock needed a battery. We were disappointed that we were not informed that the pool was closed since that was a selling point to us because of the kids. The QR code on the frig we were to scan to learn more about the property did not work. Overall we had a great stay and the location was perfect for a great beach vacation.

Hammonds reef

The front door lock didn’t work the first day and we had to call twice to get it fixed. There were roaches in the bottom floor and the lay out of the house was very inconvenient with the kitchen and living in the top floor and the kids room in the room with the front door. The living area need some sort of noise abatement, it is very echoey. The listing said the pool is heated but it definitely was not heated and the supplies for the kitchen were in adequate for a large group staying multiple days. The space in the home and location was great and The kids loved the pirate ship playground.
