    The individual unit we stayed in was just fine. However, the grounds around the pool were atrocious. They need a full lawn care attack. There were weeds growing along every wall and fence line. There were sticker burrs growing adjacent to the lower stair walkways. The planter beds had not been cleaned out and replanted in years. Some pool furniture was damaged and unsafe. The grounds man did pick up trash each morning, but that is all. There cigarette butts everywhere. We toured a unit that was for sale and it was very clean and nice. We were just turned off by the poor shape of the pool area and the rock fountain that we will not purchase a property there.

    Everything was great except the sheets were too small for the bed in the.master bedroom. The fitted sheet kept coming off and we had to sleep on mattress pad half the time.

    Overall, a great property for a quick, price conscious vacation. -Great coffee maker -Plenty of room -beautiful deck -pool was clean and well maintained -beds comfortable -kitchen very livable Fixes/improves: -Deeper cleaning needed before new guests. Lots of dust and dirt on floors (had not been mopped in awhile) -Outdoor area very dirty (table, floors etc) A good cleaner and a little paint/TLC would make this property 5 stars. Looked like a lot of the upkeep needed may have been on the larger property owners rather than this room. Would return though!

    I was told pest control would show up, they were a no show. Yesterday I was told maintenance would show up, they were also a no show. There was many dirty dishes in the cabinetry. Everyone left left sick, I’m pregnant and I’ve scheduled an appointment with my OB because I had a bad fever from the dirty vents and/or mold. We have booked many times and even over a month in the same condominium with Padre Escapes Rentals and we loved the experience, we didn’t think booking with another party in the same condominium would be any different. Sadly that was not the case. Please make the appropriate steps to create a safer environment.

    I did not realize until after we had arrived that we would not be able to have golf cart access to this property.

    We chose this wonderful location as it allowed us to bring our 2 furry babies to the beach for the very first time! Our entire family enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable location. We will certainly look to stay here again as our pups had the time of their life.

    Beds are comfortable but the sheets kept falling off because they aren't deep pocket sheets. Also the coffee machine leaked the first time we made coffee and so we couldn't make coffee anymore. Other than that, wonderful place to stay. Great location, great pool especially for our kids. Short walk or drive to the beach! We will definitely stay there again!

    The bed sheets and towels were the only thing clean. There were fleas and ticks all over the place and mesquites everywhere. You wiped the floor with a wipe and it came back black.
