Very nice place

Overall it was a very nice stay. Check in and check out easy. Very nice pool and play set for the kids and close to beach. Only concern was the twin sheet set pack had toothpicks folded in the sheets. Seemed odd and potentially dangerous.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the toothpicks. Please note you may call us during your stay so we may address any concerns in a timely manner.

Good new community with pool

The property is new and as described. Pool is really cool. Road construction on the entrance is a little bit inconvenient, hope it will be finished soon.

Great condition, well-stocked with everything needed for cooking, etc. Plus it is right next to the pool. Couldn't ask for a better vacation. Padre Escapes, our rental company, was top notch and very responsive to our needs.

Beach trip, poolside

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We were poolside which was convenient with little kids. We were concerned that the gate between the property and the strip center parking lot behind us was not locked. They’re multiple families coming and going through that gate. We didn’t feel comfortable swimming Friday evening because the pool was extremely crowded. We didn’t know if many of them were visitors.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug, 2023
Thank you for your review and feedback, Karen. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We would have been happy to verify occupancy at the pool, and can tell from our records that we had quite a few stays during this date range. If you ever have a concern in the future, please be sure to give our office a call. We care a great deal about our guest's experience and are happy to address any concerns or anything needed during your stay. We hope to welcome you back again in the future and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

4/10 Poor

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked last minute because we wanted to have a good idea of what the weather would be like since it was January. When looking at different rentals, I was clear that a heated pool was a priority since my young grandsons would most likely not be able to go into the ocean. When we arrived at the unit, we felt the water and it appeared to be slightly warm but not what we would consider 'heated'. When I called Padre Escapes the next day I was told that there was a problem with the pool and it was actually closed. There were no signs stating this. They were surprised I wasn't aware because they thought an email had been sent out a couple of days before. I told them I did not receive anything and only booked a couple of days before. I was upset and asked if there were pools at any of their other properties which we could use and I was told that there were not. After telling them that I would not have booked the unit if I had known, I asked for them to refund our last night there since we decided that we would leave the unit 1 day earlier. They refused but offered a small refund (15%) instead. I even asked them to apply the night to a future reservation (this was my 5th or 6th stay booked thru them) but they told me that they would take it into consideration the next time we book - depending on the unit and when the booking was. They would not actually commit to an amount. In addition,. the unit bed configuration had a queen size pull out couch in the living room. It was not usable for an adult. When i told Padre Escapes they offered to give us an inflatable bed instead. They brought one to the unit but it deflated as soon as it was inflated so it was of no use to us. They offered another one but we did not want to bother with it since apparently they don't test the inflatables before bringing it to clients. Overall, we were not happy with the stay which is unfortunate because we have liked booking through Padre Escapes in the past.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jun, 2022
Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. We truly apologize for the inconvenience you encountered during your stay with us. We never meant to make your vacation unpleasant or keep you from not being able to use the pool. We did offer a discount at the time but unfortunately, couldn't provide an exact amount for a future reservation until you call us to discuss. We truly hope you reach out to us for a future booking and decide to stay with us again. Thank you, Padre Escapes

Nice but needed help

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The layout of the house was great, very spacious with great access to the pool. We did have to call pest control because there were roaches, and also had to get HVAC out because the a/c wasn't working. We try to make the best of every situation, but it was frustrating. The staff were very polite and helpful with our issues.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 May, 2022
I understand how dealing with the mentioned items can be frustrating during your stay. We appreciate your kindness and patience as we resolved these unforeseen issues. Since then, the owner has approved all needed repairs to the HVAC system and the unit is now on quarterly pest control schedule! Thank you and we hope to host you again.

My 60th Birthday

This property was a perfect fit for my family. The layout of the property is excellent. The pool and playground are directly behind the unit. My grandchildren and nephews could play safely without us having to worry about any cars or dangers. The unit itself is beautiful. Large and spacious open concept. We had 4 generations of family on one of the days there. Everyone fit comfortably and the master bdrm & bathroom downstairs was perfect for the older generation. My grandkids LOVED the playground and kiddie pool. We will definitely stay here again.

Norma, that is great to hear! We love that 4 generations of family were able to spend time together and make new memories at a Padre Escapes property. The pool and playground are great for the kids and allows the adults to relax. We certainly look forward to hosting you again in the future. Be sure to reach out directly and we'd be happy to find another Nemo Cay Resort property for you. Thank you, Padre Escapes

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: The place was super cute , lots of space cute little patio ! Loved having the pool right behind us ! The check in/out process was awesome and convenient! My only issue and after this I was disgusted and having to check everything to make sure none were there, but I came across TWO huge roaches one in the down stairs bathroom and one in the living room.. I absolutely hate roaches! So this was a turn off for me, other than that as I mentioned above the place was great

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: The unit was nicely furnished and everything in good condition. The Keurig was a nice surprise. The pool was dirty, mostly top layer stuff that could be taken care of with a net. Bring a water hose to spray down beach stuff. There is a spout by the front door. The king size bed mattress was comfortable. There were a few cob-webs in the ceiling fan but in general everything was clean like the dishes, restrooms and bedding. And yes!, the tv actually worked with streaming ability.

We were able to check in 30 minutes early. Lots of communication via text & email. Condo wasn’t very clean. Back patio area wasn’t cleaned at all before our visit. Dumpsters were full and overflowing. AC, appliances, and plumbing worked well. We were with family, so smallish rooms worked for us.
