    We liked it very much!!! We would stay again in this property. My teen daughter and her friends loved the pool. Each bedroom having its own bathroom is a plus and having another restroom downstairs was great. My husband liked that it had its own car garage. This property is close by beach which is another plus. I would definitely recommend this 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: Our stay at Mare Dunes in the Palm Bay Village Condominium was absolutely wonderful! The unit was immaculate, and every one in our group loved the condo which had plenty of room for our family. The bedrooms were extra large and had comfy beds for a good nights sleep. The family room and kitchen area are nice and offer plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy a nice movie and enjoy a delicious meal prepared by the chef in your family. The resort style pool is a definite plus especially if you would like to unwind after a day at the beach. The outdoor patio offers a nice view of the resort style pool and offers a tranquil area while enjoying your morning coffee. We will definitely book again especially since we love our trips to the coast!

    Upon arrival at Mare Dunes, we were so delighted to see that the unit was very clean and the check in process was easy. We have stayed at different units on the property, and this is definitely one of two favorites. The unit is stocked with all the kitchen items needed in order to cook a family meal or if you like there are gas grills on the property for guests to use. The condo also has a very nice patio that you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or read a good book while listening to the waterfall from the resort style pool. The rooms are very spacious and offer nice comfy beds for a good night's rest. The complex is located on Padre Island and there is plenty to do with just a short walk or a short drive. We look forward to staying at Mare Dune's in the near future.

    Overall the stay was great. The condo was nice and well kept . There was a hiccup on timing of check-in due to a contractor needing to work on the garage door but all in all it was a pleasant stay .

    The condo was a very nice get away. Not far from the beach and near all the restaurants. Plenty of room in the condo to move around. Pool was good size and not crowded.

Yes the beds aren’t the best but what come to lay out on the beach not the beds. This place did have a recliner that was awesome. Kids loved their room with its own shower/restroom.The downstairs restroom was hot and felt no air in it so we just closed the door and went upstairs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful family vacation! The condo was clean and beautiful! It had everything we needed and extra beach supplies to take to the beach! Our minivan and golf cart fit perfectly in the garage! We were able to drive to and from the beach in our golf cart which was really fun! We have stayed at several places on Padre Island and this place has the best pool! We loved that this condo was facing the pool and has gas grills near the condo! Check in and check out is so easy it’s sent to you and you do it all on your phone! Oh and there’s a Stripes store a few steps away! Loved our stay! We’ll definitely be back!❤️

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We escaped the frigid Ohio winter weather and spent it enjoying Corpus Christi. Our condo at Palm Bay Village was everything we hoped for. It has literally anything you could think of or need. We like to cook and they have every utensils and cookware conceivable. There are also gas grills throughout the complex that are free to use. Everyone was friendly and polite. The pool is right outside the awesome patio. The condo is open and spacious. The beach is right down the street. Only about a 10 minute walk. If you want to park on the beach, be sure to stop at the Stripes station across the street from the condo to buy a parking pass ($12).
