Has everything we needed. Not the cleanest.

Not the property owners fault; but the location is very noisy with street & beach traffic. If you are a light sleeper it can be rough!

- Dawn B. from Iraan, Posted: 09/17/2024

Thank you so much! We appreciate your kind review, and we are so glad you had a great stay with Padre Escapes!

Wonderful condo with everything I needed for my week of relaxation and self-care! Close to the beach and Island Market close by for last minute shopping instead of driving back into Corpus Christi. Clean, quiet, and tranquil. I plan to return soon!

- Cristina L. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/26/2024

Thank you for the awesome review and feedback. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with Padre Escapes. We welcome you back anytime!

First of all, we stayed in unit 3 room #123. There are several units with 3 floors each. They seemed a little old and the breezeway in the middle with stairs was open to the outside and not air conditioned. The pool and main house don’t contain living units. Ours is the unit that’s next to the road, and the porch is facing the road- I was hoping for different. So it was just traffic going by as you sat. The room looked exactly like the pictures and the pool was well kept and clean. People at the pool were all very nice and pleasant during our stay. The room was also clean and in order with extra blankets and such. No bed bugs or critters. I checked. The location is good. My only complaint was the smell of mold/mildew in the place... but I couldn’t tell where it was coming from. If you look at the door frame - it was quite black and icky and I was concerned that maybe there had been a mold issue and it was remodeled over it- because the room looked very well kept while the breezeway looked totally different. The smell got a little better after AC was on for a while, and after being in the room you couldn’t tell anymore. But upon re-entry it was clearly there, but tolerable. I’m big on smells and sensitive to this so I was concerned. However I didn’t have any headaches or typical sinus issues. So- I was puzzled. Maybe it just smelled that way. Other than that, we had a great time. But I would try another room next time simply because of the smell. Top: go explore the beach at night with strong flashlights. So fun.

Disappointed that there were not a lot of amenities compared to some other properties. Saw several bugs and killed a large roach. Mold in the corner of bathtub. Found long hair in sheets, floors were not real clean.

The room was very clean when we got there. The kitchen was fully stocked and the bed was very comfortable. It was decorated so cute. The location is very close to the beach. It was just perfect. I would definitely stay there again.

This unit was very clean, had upgraded appliances in the kitchen, good working ac, and was super close to the beach. We also used the pull out couch and appreciated the extra linens and pillows. We loved the location in the complex as it was easy to get to. We would love to stay here again.

What a perfect little place. It was everything we wanted, clean, well equipped and comfortable. Everything mechanical worked, the kitchen was well equipped, good internet, cable TV and Roku TV in the bedroom.

Satisfied with rental company personnel we dealt with. We stayed at the Beach Club two times before. We like the location. It is a quiet property. The grounds were clean, but some exterior paint and some deferred maintenance should be addressed. The rental unit was in good condition. Would stay there again.

- Anonymous from Katy, Posted: 12/11/2023

Thank you for your review and feedback, Mary. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay. We will be sure to relay your feedback about the exterior to the HOA in charge of upkeeping those items. We found you to be wonderful guests and certainly hope to see you back soon! Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Location was great. Place was okay. Some things need attention by owner. i.e., toilet could be straightened, drawer in kitchen fixed, dishwasher could be placed correctly.

- Eric S. from Pittsburg, Posted: 10/31/2023

Thank you for the feedback, Eric! We will have our maintenance team check out the items you mentioned. We look forward to having you back!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Fantastic. Nice location and close to the beach. We will definitely be back.

- Eric T. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/23/2023

Sounds like a plan to us! We look forward to hosting you again, Eric! - Thank you, Padre Escapes

The condo was nice and exactly what we needed for the 4 of us to stay.The few recommendations we would recommend. Is to put curtains up so guest would be able to sleep in and put a door where the washer and dryer are located for noise purposes. Update knives in kitchen.

- Laura Z. from Georgetown, Posted: 07/06/2023

Thank you for your review and feedback, Laura. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall and appreciate your pointers. We welcome you back in the future and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

The Beach Retreat was very clean upon arrival. Kitchen was fully stocked with enough plates, glasses, pots and pans for cooking. I will return back to this beach club resort in the near future. The only thing I recommend for this resort is better parking areas for extra vehicles. The rental carts were parking in the non-reserved areas and no where else too park. Also, our dining area had a broken green chair (needs repairing.

- Patricia W. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/13/2023

Thank you for the review; we always appreciate hearing from our visitors. We apologize for the car problem; in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us at to report similar problems in the future. We've informed our maintenance crew about the broken green chair, and someone will soon replace it.

Stayed 2 months in Beach Retreat. Condo was adequate for our needs. Close to the beach. Nice enclosed pool. Pet friendly. A little concerned because there were no grab bars in the bath tub which was slippery. We put down rubber mat in tub which helped. On site HOA rep was not helpful. Told us she wasnt allowed to talk to guests when we had maintenance issue. HOA rep directed us to call the mgt company we rented from (who did help), but the staff doing the work around the complex all reported to the HOA rep who wouldnt talk about any issues. Not a professional way to handle paying guests.

- Steve C. from Greenfield, Posted: 04/22/2023

Hello, Mr. Chandler. We are sorry to hear that you had a frustrating time at Beach Retreat. We encourage all guests when they have any issues to reach out to us directly so we may address the issue promptly and communicate directly with our guests. We are happy that you found the unit up to your expectations otherwise, and we will be sure to address the items that you mentioned. Thank you for your review!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Perfect stay at Beach Club! Room was clean well equipped. The facilities (gym, pool hot tub) were excellent. We had a perfect stay.

Padre Escapes employees were very easy to reach and had great commnuncations letting us know when there was condo maintenance going on and letting us know info for check in and check out via text message.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company.

I decided last minute to take a trip to the beach and found this little gem!!!!

- Elena U. from Helotes, Posted: 04/12/2022

We are please to hear you were able to take your last minute getaway! Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes to host you while you relaxed and enjoyed the beach! See you soon!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We enjoyed staying at this condo for it’s convenient location to the beach, and the amenities provided. We loved the winter sun exposure as we had good light throughout the rental. The owners were attentive to our problem of a broken washing machine and reimbursed us generously for the inconvenience of needing to use the laundry at the clubhouse. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming at the clubhouse and pool. Very fun stay!

- Anonymous from Manhattan, Posted: 02/24/2022

Mary, thank you for your 5 star rating! This complex and condo are lovely and we are so happy to hear you enjoyed it! We appreciate your patience as we were troubleshooting the washer, which has since been replaced. Thank you and we will see you soon!

We rented BC123 condo for 33 days. It was relatively clean upon arrival and was furnished per the photos and description. Location to beach was great – short walk to Whitecap Beach and the sea wall. Near a variety of restaurants, shopping, and gas stations including a grocery store, Island Market. Inside the unit, there were 2 dead cockroaches; one in dining room and one in kitchen. We continued to see the roaches throughout our month-long vacation in this unit, some alive and later some dead (as unit was “treated” several times). I took pictures and a video as proof as it seemed some management did not believe they kept coming. We had over 12 live ones, some 1 1⁄2 inches long – in the silverware drawer, in the cabinets, in the bathtub. Finally, a week before we checked out, after checking doors, one of the maintenance guys said the seal (gasket/weather stripping) around patio door was badly worn with a separation even when closed. He replaced the seal. Still had a few more but they might have gotten in before the door seal was replaced. Kim, property mgmt coordinator, tried her best to help but unless someone sent a person to really inspect where these bugs were coming from, nothing helped. So creepy and disappointing. The clothes dryer had to be replaced the first week due to severe rust on the door that was captured on our clothes as we gingerly put the clothes inside. The owner did replace it and we appreciated that. We really enjoyed the Beach Club complex, our neighbors, other friends we made and will definitely return but not to this unit unless we are guaranteed there would be no more cockroaches. This problem put a real damper on our vacation. Everything else was acceptable and this review could have been so much better. So sad.

- Rose O. from Marcus, Posted: 02/20/2022

Rose, thank you for your honest feedback . Padre Escapes continues to do monthly pest control for this unit and has sealed off any other gaps that were found and we are happy to say the issue seems to be resolved. We look forward to your visit next year!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Overall experience was great. Location location convenient to most stores and restaurants and Whitecap beach. Location on main road so can be some what noisy on outside patio. Only "Big" problem was that there was no hot water. Had to take very
lukewarm showers.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 10/12/2021

WE are happy to hear you had a great overall stay! I wish our maintenance team had the chance to address the no hot water issue during your stay for you. Please note for the future to give us a call and we will gladly send someone over to get it addressed. Thank you for your feedback and we are excited to host you again!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We had a good time. Great location. Pool was very nice. Building a little outdated with rotted wood/holes on stairs. I’m really glad we had bottom floor. We did have some bugs in the apartment. We think it’s because we were on the corner and there was a gab in the seam at the bottom of the back patio door. However the huge roach on ceiling in kitchen, bathroom, and baby roach in the bed was not fun. The Beatles were not a problem. I think it just needs to be exterminated more. Also think the floors need to be cleaned better. If you walk around barefoot, your feet turned black pretty quickly.
Overall though we would go back. Great set up. Everything else was nice.

- Tracie B. from New Braunfels, Posted: 09/19/2021

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we appreciate it and will use it to improve the guest experience for future guests. We will be sure to notify maintenance of the pest issue and housekeeping of your cleaning concerns. We look forward to hosting you again!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Everything went smooth from the time we booked. Great communication and check in process. When we walked in the smell about knocked me over.. musty smell. The vent for air conditioner which is near the kitchen table was very dirty. After looking around, I think that’s the source of the smell. When we got home and unpacked, my clean clothes had that same smell and had to re wash everything. The cabinet doors in the bathroom need to be wiped down with cleaner. Lastly, there were several little black beetle looking bugs in the kitchen, so perhaps the until needs an exterminator or be bug bombed. Other than those things, it was nice enough for just my husband and I. We didn’t spend a whole lot of time in the room anyway. If we stayed at this location again, I would probably try a different unit.

- Anonymous from Bridgeport, Posted: 08/25/2021

Thank you for the feedback. I will be sure to relay the mentioned items to our housekeeping and maintenance teams. That is certainly not up to our usual standard and should be better. We hope you had a great vacation and looking forward to hosting you again.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We loved the condo, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Being just a short walk to the beach was a huge plus. The staff was super helpful and nice. If I had any complaints at all it would be that the bathroom had an odor that was fixable and the shower probably needs an update. Nothing bad at all though, the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

- Candyce S. from Ada, Posted: 08/10/2021

Happy to hear you enjoyed the unit and visited the beach! We will definitely take your feedback into consideration. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!

Condo was has everything you need. Close to the pool and walking distance to the beach. I absolutely love staying at beach club condominiums.

Awesome! We look forward to hosting you again!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We enjoyed staying at this vacation rental very much. It was clean, spacious, and I don’t believe it was lacking for anything. I will definitely stay here again. The location was great for the beach and restaurant.

- Michele N. from Fort Worth, Posted: 07/12/2021

Thank you for the feedback, hope we see you back again soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Property is in a good location for a beach vacation. The unit was not completely clean arrival. The kitchen sink and the top of the washing machine had sticky stains on them and the ice maker in the refrigerator was not working. Both were promptly reported to management via text message but no reply or response was ever received. Later we dicovered mold in the bathroom. Parking space 41 is extremely difficult to get into unless you have a smart car or perhaps a mini-cooper. For a full-size vehicle like our pickup, it is almost impossible if there are other vehicles parked in nearby spaces.

- Anonymous from Las Cruces, Posted: 06/15/2021

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the cleaning issues. We will address these concerns with the housekeeping team that cleaned the property.

Tremendous service from the folks at Padre Escapes, will definitely book with them again. Property was clean and well-kept, room was very clean and ready for us. Easy check-in and check-out.

Seashore characteristics line the bedroom and kitchen. Bathroom had a unique look with wooden boards vs wall paper as an accent wall

- Lucero C. from Coppell, Posted: 03/22/2021

Yes, the Beach Retreat has décor that makes you feel like you are at the beach the whole time! We look forward to hosting you again.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

As advertised. No complaints outside of the drag race at 3 AM. It’s the beach so it brings out all types to keep things interesting.

- Josh B. from Frisco, Posted: 02/09/2021

Thank you for the feedback! We look forward to hosting you again.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The unit was okay. It was clean and close to the beach. However, the parking spot was terrible. It was hard to park if the neighboring spot was taken. Several times construction vehicles and trailers were parked in the fire lane, which made it impossible to park. Many times we had to park over by the pool. The unit had lots of storage. Bed and pillows were comfy. Appreciated the ice maker. Neither can opener worked, electric or manual. Complex is well-maintained and quiet. Padre Escapes is great to work with. Will continue to book through them.

- Anonymous from Clinton, Posted: 03/07/2020

Thank you for letting us know about the can openers, we will get those replaced. Parking is tough everywhere but sounds like there were some additional inconveniences, we apologize but we do appreciate your feedback and hope we see you back again soon.

Room was adorable but there was a smell of mildew in the room they offered to put some type of machine to clean the air but I didn't want someone in the room after I checked in. That kinda bummed me out my kids had different rooms and they didn't have a problem

- Janet G. from Wilburton, Posted: 08/15/2019

Sorry to hear that, we will certainly check into the smell issue and get it addressed if needed. Thank you for the feedback.

Our first floor condo worked out great. We had easy access and a good view of Lake Padre. All furniture and bed were in good condition. All kitchen accessories were in good working order. The picture shows a rug on the living floor, but it was non-existent; we would have liked a rug in this area. We love Padre Island, and Beach Club Condos is the perfect place to call home as a Winter Texan.

- Lana F. from Sioux Falls, Posted: 04/02/2019

We stayed at this condo for 3 nights and we had no issues whatsoever. There was a welcome packet with good information when we got there everything was in order. There were plenty of towels toilet paper and paper towels for our stay even though I bought extra. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer. The kitchen was well-equipped although I never cooked. The bed was very comfortable. And the shower was amazing with great water pressure in the water heated up quickly. It was literally one block walk to the beach. And close to the stripes right down the road in case you needed something. I forgot my husband's flip flops and we had to go to stripes and buy a new pair for $12 which wasn't too bad. I would highly recommend this condo.

- Deanna M. from Blanket, Posted: 08/21/2018

Everything was wonderful other than the air conditioner had a problem. Management had someone come by and fixed the problem. I was happy with their response. Check in and Checkout was simple. Beach was awesome.

- Anonymous from Bastrop, Posted: 07/24/2018

The condo was great and a short walking distance to the beach. I will definitely stay here again.

- Linda H. from Carrollton, Posted: 06/18/2018

The unit was in good condition and in a handy location. It faced a busy street, but it was pretty quiet. Bed was comfortable. First time in this resort. We liked being around friendly winter Texans.

- Sharlene G. from Elgin, Posted: 03/27/2018

Excellent stay at Beach club condos - -great stay, great attn. to detail by the mgmt. staff; we very much liked our condo. Very nice pool, fishing pond, very short walk to beach.

- Darlene L. from Lockhart, Posted: 03/20/2018

We loved the Beach Club Condominium community and location. We were very close to the beach and there were so many amenities to enjoy in the complex. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area as well as the gazebo and fitness center. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and enjoyed the Mardi Gras parade and Kite Festival. Always some activity going on! A couple of minor issues arose during our stay, but Padre Escapes personnel responded immediately and fixed them the same day. Very satisfied with our stay and already booked for next year!

- Anonymous from Grand Forks, Posted: 03/06/2018

Padre Escapes quickly accommodated us after Hurricane Harvey. Everyone was very helpful. Our minor maintenance requests were responded to promptly. We have recommended them to others.

- Jim G. from Port Aransas, Posted: 10/09/2017

Condo was everything we expected and more! Comfy bed super close to the beach, on the plus side was that the pool and hot tub area was open 24hrs and never overcrowded even on the week of the 4th of July. We were very happy with our stay will be back next year!

- Maggie H. from crowley, Posted: 07/24/2017

My wife and I are in the process of moving from upstate NY to Corpus Christi. We needed a furnished one bedroom and wanted to be near the beach, had to have a fitness center and pool. This location hit a bulls eye in every category. Exceptional value, it had everything we needed for a month. The beach was a 5 minute walk, fitness center is very adequately equipped, pool and spa are very nice. Always felt comfortable and safe there. Check in/out was extremely efficient and easy. Would go back there for a stay in an instant. I am somewhat picky and can be a bit critical but this property gave no reason too. Conveniently located near restaurants, fast food, a great German Bakery/Restaurant and 10 minutes from a giant grocery store.

- Alois W. from Corpus Christi, Posted: 06/02/2017

The rental experience was good with the exception that WI-FI was not available in the unit but was available at the Beach House. The system was down for all of our ten day stay, Would recommend that WI-FI be available in rental units if not already a part of the package.

- Anonymous from DeTour Village, Posted: 01/18/2017

My family ( husband, 2 boys & mother-n-law) stayed here July 2016 & loved it! The location was great, beaches are perfect, and condo was nice. Check-in was very easy. The condo had everything we needed. The only negative thing was there were a few roaches! I would recommend getting pest control asap! I don't like creepy crawly bugs where I sleep. Overall, I would stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

- Holly A. from Pinehurst, Posted: 07/21/2016

We apologize for the creepy crawlers, that's the first we've heard of this. We will certainly take your advice and have it treated.

Had a great stay at the Beach Retreat! Condo was nice and clean and just right for our needs. My biggest complaint would be all of the grass burr stickers that were all over the place. Grassy areas, carpets in hallways, and carpet in closet of condo. Otherwise, it was great! Would definitely go back and use them again! Really enjoyed our stay.

- Bobby Y. from Stephenville, Posted: 07/16/2016

everything was nice and clean

- Virginia T. from san antonio, Posted: 06/29/2016

We were very happy with the condo. It was clean and tastefully decorated. It was nice that the building was closest to the beach but the intersection was quite busy. Having internet would have been appreciated so I didn't have to go to the business center to check emails. Being on the first floor was super convenient.

- Anonymous from Harrietta, Posted: 04/04/2016

- Anonymous from waco, Posted: 08/19/2015

Overall we were very satisfied with our stay at Beach Retreat. However, something should be done about the ants on the floor that ended up climbing into the beds and our luggage. Also, a mirror outside the bathroom would be convenient.
