Beachside Retreat CBC161K

This was my 3rd visit to the Beach Club Condominiums and by far this was my worst experience. The unit that we
stayed in did not match the pictures that were advertised. Unit 161 is in serious need of
an upgrade. There are noticeable areas on the walls that have been patched over.
The coffee table has a noticeable splintered leg, the
flooring has noticeable
residual adhesive on it. There
was rust in the ceiling in
the second bathroom from a
door trap that wasn't completely shut. The
dishwasher was inoperable,
cooking ware is old,
refrigerator is rusted on the
side,coffee maker is old and
doesn't work properly and
most disturbing were the
multiple baby frogs that were in the bathtub nightly in the
second bathroom. I do have
pictures to support my concerns. The beds and pillows were comfortable and we enjoyed the ground amenities.

No tv working, "short walk to beach" was 1/4 mile! Pool extremely small for complex size

The room was clean, well stocked, soft beds, convenient location. Only issue was when we arrived, Padre Escapes did not send me the email to check in. I had to call twice. But, would not stay anywhere else.

Overall it was fine for a short excursion to the beach. However given the high price we were charged and extra fees it was disappointing. When we arrived there was construction on the building. We had no dedicated parking space that we were promised. We had to walk around the complex to get to the unit - which was challenging with kids and a baby. Work was being done the entire time with tons of noise starting at 8am. Padre did not once offer anything except "sorry - we don't control the HOA". The unit itself was dated but clean and things worked fine. Proximity to the beach was good.

- Rob A. from Helotes, Posted: 06/26/2023

Hi Rob Ayoub, Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. I'm pleased to hear you had a good visit and enjoyed the unit's proximity to the beach. We will certainly take your experience into consideration as we continue to make improvements and add value to your stay. We sincerely regret that construction impacted your visit. We do hope to have the opportunity to get it 100% right on your next visit with Padre Escapes. Cheers, Your friends at Padre Escapes

The condo was clean and a great location. Beds were comfy and it was a great choice for our quick spring break getaway.

- Shannon P. from Carrollton, Posted: 03/17/2023

We surely appreciate your honest words, Shannon! We are glad that we could accommodate a great spring break stay!

We have stayed at the Beach Club in the past, and were happy to stay again this year (2022). The rental property was very clean and check in was simple and efficient (we even got to check in way earlier than the check in time). The property is fully equipped with everything you might need for a week stay at the beach (except coffee filters). The beach is so close that walking to driving takes no time at all. We swam in the waves and played in the sand, hung by the pool, fished the pond, grilled some burgers, ran along the beach, and absolutely loved our vacation!! Definitely recommend the Beach Club!!

- Kalen H. from Junction, Posted: 08/05/2022

Thank you for your kind review! Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with Padre Escapes!

We enjoyed our stay for the most part the only issue was all the stickers on the grass so made it difficult to walk my dog and asphalt very hot.
I would suggest for grounds/landscaping have better upkeep.

- Anonymous from The Colony, Posted: 07/22/2022

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We relayed your feedback to their HOA, thank you for letting us know! Hope to see you soon!

Got something close to beach and perfect for vacation to sleep and shower.

Thank you for your review, David! We certainly welcome you back anytime. Thank you for booking with Padre Escapes!

This was the perfect spot for vacay with my family. Easy walk to the beach and the pool is great. We have stayed at these little condos for years and will continue to do so.

Good to hear! Thank you- Padre Escapes!

We like the location but this unit could use the carpets/rugs cleaned and a better quality master bed. Also the dog hair on the quest bed pillows was never addressed after i reported it, a dirty plate was also found in the cupboard

- Larry M. from Clinton, Posted: 03/17/2022

Thank you for your feedback ,Larry! I do see were you notified us about the pillows on our texting software. Unfortunately, it was an after hour text so it looks like it did get lost in other communication. I apologize as this is not our typical Padre Escapes standards, we try our best to accommodate guest request in a timely manner. I look forward to hosting your next stay.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Could have been cleaner. The family above us had a few children and they ran back and forth all the time. Very noisey!

- Jo Carol S. from Kerrville, Posted: 11/30/2021

We are in the process of deep cleaning every property after a busy summer. We apologize for any cleaning issues you experienced but they will be better going forward. Fortunately the guests above change on a regular basis so noisy neighbors is not typically an issue here. Thank you for the feedback.

I have stayed in several different condos at Beach Club & have had no issues! I absolutely LOVE the hot tub, heated pool & having the beach so close by! I most definitely recommend this place! All the girls who assist with booking, questions, etc. are so friendly & helpful! Most recently, I booked the Beachside Retreat #161 & brought some friends. We absolutely loved it! No complaints whatsoever! My only suggestion, to help first time guests, would be that staff make sure that they know which building their unit is in. My first stay, not knowing my way around the complex, it took a while to find my condo. I WILL BE BACK! :)

- Kimberly S. from Freer, Posted: 11/12/2021

Thank you for being a returning, valued guest, Kimberly! It has been a joy working with you. We are happy you enjoy the complex and all the great amenities it offers. Our arrival text message should include the building and floor number to your unit, I will be sure to check on that and work out any glitches. Thank you for your suggestion and we hope to see you soon!

We’ve stayed at the same condos before, always enjoyable. This was no different! The location is perfect for us, the property is well-maintained, the pool and the gym were a big plus! But bring your mosquito spray, ha. The field between the condo and the beach left us covered head to toe during morning walks. We also had a neighbor that left a bag of trash out when they left, seemed to be accidental. One call to our managers at Padre Escapes and the HOA was out within a couple hours to handle. Everyone we spoke to was great, the charges were handled accurately and the key codes delivered in a very timely manner. The condo itself was nice inside, nice furniture, amenities and several options for TV service. The DVD is not blue ray— we have a family tradition of watching the Harry Potter series but our blue ray DVDs didn’t play. No problem though, the Specturm On Demand service to the rescue! Overall a great trip and I doubt you’d be disappointed in your stay.

Welcome back! This sounds like the perfect getaway with family! We appreciate the kind review and are excited to host you all again!

This property was ideally located near the beach and had easy access to their pool. The check-in and check-out were very easy.
Unfortunately, in a place like this, you are the mercies of everyone around you. Our trip ended on a sour note with insanely loud people and a call to the police. I wish there was a better way to enforce noise violations.

- Karen D. from Houston, Posted: 07/02/2021

The condo was very comfortable. Master bath shower fixtures need replacing but everything else was in good condition. We would return again.

- John B. from Leander, Posted: 06/28/2021

We are glad you had a comfortable stay with Padre Escapes. I will relay the shower fixture feedback to our maintenance department .Thank you.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The condo was very comfortable and met all our needs. It was a little difficult to turn on the shower in the master bathroom. A complaint is that the pool area does not have enough shady areas or umbrellas.

- Anonymous from Universal City, Posted: 06/16/2021

Loved it had a great time with family. Well maintained and worth the price.

- Glenda S. from Robstown, Posted: 05/29/2021

My wife and I were impressed with this unit. We have stayed in numerous rentals in the area and this one hit all the marks. Well appointed, clean, comfortable, first floor easy access and two minutes to the beach. We will rent it again if it is available in the future.

- Justin R. from Uvalde, Posted: 02/04/2021

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

The location was great, put my feet in water every day for 2.5 months. The condo itself needs to be refreshed - a little weathered. The townhome community has a problematic head of the HOA - likes to harass renters, and cuss at them.

- Anonymous from colorado springs, Posted: 12/25/2020

Great to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Disappointed to hear you encountered some problems with the HOA manager, generally she is friendly and easy to work with. Thank you for your feedback. Hope we see you back again soon.

Great place to stay!! Always nice to have the best customer service.

- Anonymous from Nixon, Posted: 10/17/2020

We were pleased with the accommodations of this rental. It was comfortable and nice. The location was great because it was very close to the beach. Working with Padre Escapes was a pleasant experience and we will continue to book through them in the future.

- Susan S. from Lockhart, Posted: 10/02/2020

Great location for a place to stay!! Very good staff!!!

- Anonymous from Lavon, Posted: 07/01/2020

We enjoyed our stay at Beachside Retreat. It is near Whitecap beach (walking distance) but we chose to drive to the National Seashore, which is not far. The weekend we stayed (May 2020) the pool was closed per local laws, so we did not use it. The place had everything we needed for our long weekend, including cooking stuff in the kitchen and linens, towels, etc. A few more towels (6 were provided) would have been helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

- Kathleen B. from Houston, Posted: 05/27/2020

This condo is close to the beach, ground floor,fully equipped,nicey decorated.
When I mentioned that a vital piece of furniture could use replacing, not only was the property management company fast, the owner agreed, thank you.

- Larry M. from Clinton, Posted: 03/03/2020

the location was great, close to beach ,great walking, fishing, restaurants. etc.

Very nice and clean. Close to the beach and city. Enjoyable place.

This was our fourth time staying in these condos. We have enjoyed ourselves every time we have been there. Being on the first floor is the best. The condo is in a great location. Our family enjoyed it very much. We look forward to another time that we can come again.

- mary f. g. from fort worth, Posted: 07/15/2018

Very small 2 br condo. Very tight for 4 people. The armchair recliner smelled awful and needs to be replaced. The sofa was very hard and the cushions kept sliding out. Dirty pool and lukewarm hot tub. Very windy conditions tho. For what we paid we will not be back. Ladies at check-in and checkout were awesome

- MELISSA P. from Bulverde, Posted: 04/20/2018

Thank you for your feedback. We will work with the owner on updating some items in the unit and mention the pool complaints to the HOA. Not much we can do about the weather though. Thank you for your feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Anything we needed was promptly taken care of by Padre Escapes. The Manager of the Beach Club is not good at pool management. This is our second year with an ice cold pool, and the hot tub was green for two days. We really like the facilities,and easy access to the beach. Many good local restaurants, and golf.

- Brian K. from Saint Paul, Posted: 03/06/2018

We were in Corpus to attend a naval change of command. THe location of the condos was perfect for that. We also enjoyed how close and convenient it was to get to the beach. The pool was great for cooling off and relaxing when we had some free time. The condo was very clean, and comfortable. We will stay here again on our next trip to Corpus Christi!
