Booked a trip to Padre Island CC with grand kids and their parents. Stayed at Nemo Car Resort D104K. The unit was very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. There were some board games to play for various aged kids and adults. The kitchen was probably the best equipped that we have ever stayed. We always bring a box with cooking utensils because most places are lacking in that area but not this one. We loved the decor and the layout. Beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms had plenty of space for toiletries and so forth. Would definitely recommend and we will be staying here again.

Available towels per guest was kind of an issue. We stayed 3 nights and with 6 total adults and 5 kids. I believe we were issued 4 towels. We wouldve gladly reused washed and shared but laundry detergent wasn’t available. And trip back to grocery store wasnt an option for us once we settled in.
Melissa M.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Aug, 2023
Thank you for your review and feedback, Melissa. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay overall. We apologize that you found the towel allocation to be lacking. We stock each rental unit with enough towels for the occupancy of the unit, with extras stored in the top of the bedroom closets. If you find that this poses an issue for you during your next stay, we always welcome our guests to give us a call and speak with us. We would much rather you enjoy your stay than have a set back such as towels, and we would have been happy to address this for you during your stay. We found you all to be wonderful guests and certainly welcome you back anytime. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Reviewer Comments:
The place was nice and spacious. The only complaint would be that we rented a golf cart, and due to their rules, we couldn't drive it to this place due to its location. So if you plan on a golf cart rental, it will be a hassle. Also, the place was clean but didn't smell clean, the fridge was clean but had a weird smell, which I feel would've been solved by using a nice smelling cleaning product. Beds and linens were clean, the washer and dryer were nice, they had a small pack of detergent which we used up while there.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Apr, 2025
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the space and found the beds, linens, and laundry amenities clean and convenient. We appreciate your feedback about the scent and fridge, and we'll pass that along to our cleaning team to help improve the overall experience. We understand the golf cart restrictions can be frustrating and appreciate you pointing that out for future guests. Thanks again for staying with us—we hope to welcome you back!

This is my second time renting with Padre Escapes and first time renting a townhome. This property was clean, fully stocked, spacious and centrally located. I will definitely rent from Pare Escapes again! Their communication is great, staff are great to work with & professionals, on time and properties are exactly as described. Only recommendation I would give in the townhome is to put up a privacy fence on the back patio other than that I would recommend this property. We had 5 adults, 2 children, and one small dog.

Overall the condo was spacious and clean. It’s well decorated and stocked. However the one thing that kept us from enjoying our stay and coming back were the beds. The kids bunk beds were fine, but the king size beds were horrible and hard. I had a neck/back pain all weekend. I would suggest some mattress toppers.

Our original rental had a water leak and smelled like mold. We were moved from that rental into another smaller rental for the night. We had planned to stay two nights but only could only stay the one night because there were no more rentals available. Padre escapes is gave us the difference back to our account and is giving us a discount on our next stay. I was upset we didn’t get stay both nights but at least the situation was handled in a professional manner.
