Very nice place, very large. Good pool and water access. overall a very good place. Except when we checked in on saturday. The room we had was right above the pool. people were playing music and being very loud(all day and into the night). I went and talked to the last group at 10:30 pm and told them we were fishing at 5 am and needed to sleep.The rest of the stay was quiet and peaceful. If I was to do it again I would ask for a different room.

Really nice. We were comfortable. Parking is dedicated so we didn’t need to walk far. Pool is small but close. Balcony is nice but mosquitoes were bad and there is a corner with a huge pile of bird droppings so we couldn’t use it. Great to have a washer and dryer. They could supply a few coffee filters. Bring your own.

We came to the coast for SandFest. This property was a good location since we didn't want to have to ride the ferry every day to go to SandFest. The trip down the island is easy. This property was easy to access and the entire property was comfortable.

Very well maintained, clean 2bd 2 bath condo with a boat slip. We had a great weekend for a birthday celebration and lots of fishing! Boat dock was just renovated. Only downside, to no fault of this rental owner, was construction on the street and access was detoured due to construction and hard to juggle with boat trailer. No parking for oversized vehicles.

Awesome experience! First-time short-term renter, we were not disappointed. Highly recommend, the property is well maintained, great location, easy in and out of the complex and the reserved parking space is a plus. The unit was the perfect home base for all of our activities.

Everything was clean and the location was convenient and close to the shopping areas of North Padre Island. Would highly recommend, especially for families with small children. There is a swimming pool located directly below the condo on the first floor. Our kids loved it! That said, pool was opened until 11pm and there were multiple people at the pool until way later...like 1am and later. They were loud and no one ever came to tell them to leave.

Our attempt to get away from winter was somewhat successful. Even with the cooler than normal temperatures and the wind, Padre Island was still a much better experience than what we left.
Fisherman’s Dream is in a good location It is close to the beach and to many entertainment possibilities in Corpus Christi. The fishing off the dock outside the condo is good and convenient. The Island Market just down the road made trips off the island for groceries less necessary.
We were surprised by the appearance of the unit when we first walked in. It is very poorly lighting. The carpet is badly stained and leads you to question whether the unit is clean. (The unit was clean.) The furnishings are very dated and lack comfort. The master bath was not a good experience because of the slanted floor of the tub shower and the location of the toilet. We did find that the management staff and the maintenance crew are very responsive and extremely polite. Management even saw to the purchase of a floor lamp to help with the lighting issues. They were also apprised of things that should be addressed for future renters.
We will not be returning to Fisherman’s Dream but have not ruled out a return to the island. When we do return, we will definitely contact Padre Escapes for our accommodations.

Thank you for your feedback, Henry. We will certainly pass the mentioned items to our maintenance coordinators and the owner. We are thrilled to know you enjoyed the location and hope you got some nice catches! We look forward to hosting another stay! We are happy to report the carpet has been replaced.

The place was nice and clean, with a great location. Only one designated parking spot and there was extra charges to use the boat ramp and trailer parking. I figured water front rental would have this all included.
- Thomas Z. from Not provided by Airbnb, Posted: 05/11/2021
Thank you for the feedback! In the future please ask about our complexes that do include trailer parking because not all of them do. Hope to see you soon!

Absolutely loved staying there and didn't want to leave! Everything was exactly as the website explained and our family had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for having us ..we'll definitely be back!
- Dominquette M. from Cameron, Posted: 04/21/2021
Was in perfect place for my family. They could fish whenever they wanted in the canal. Only thing is the fishing lights need repair and wished the washer and dryer were bigger. They are ok for one to two people but not the six we had
- cathy e. from Carlsbad, Posted: 07/10/2020
Very clean, comfortable, great pool view and spacious. We loved the layout and theme of the house! The location was perfect, close to the restaurants, shops and the beach.
- Angelica P. from NA, Posted: 06/30/2020
Very easy and clean it was Quiet and relaxing
- Alfonso A. from NA, Posted: 05/26/2020
The view was great. The condo had everything we needed for cooking while we were there. Staff was friendly and attentive before, during,and after our stay. This is my second time using Padre escape.. will definitely be back for a third
- Lindsey L. from Schertz , Posted: 05/20/2020
Came down for family wedding and limited to condos. I am glad this one was available as very pleased with it. Loved the large windows, but plants blocked the view. Weather was poor so kept shutters closed. Dock was closed so no fishing done.
- Anonymous from Union Grove, Posted: 03/29/2020
Great spot for a weekend vacation. Close to tons of fishing and great beach spots as well. Good pool, hot tub, and deck for hanging out.
- Jason G. , Posted: 07/16/2019
The whole process has been quite smooth, it is a pitty though the State legislation that does not allow to keep even salt/pepper between stays. Only complaint would be the condition of the was in pretty bad condition
- Ruben T. , Posted: 05/29/2019
It would make things much easier if we could leave food items such as salt and pepper between stays but, as you stated, that is the law. Not sure what was in "pretty bad condition" but we will reach out for details. Thank you again for feedback.

All was good. Pretty unit. We did have a problem with a roach in the bathroom that got on the toothbrushes. And the ac seemed a little warm even when we lowered it. Please check your pest control. We’ve rented from y’all several times and I’m Sure we will use y’all again.

We went there in July for a family vacation. The house was clean an organize when we arrived. It is very close to the beach. Everything is convenient there.
- YAN L. from Frisco, Posted: 08/16/2018
OUR FAMILY STAYED FOR THE WEEKEND, WE HAVE BEEN COMING TO PADRE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. THIS VACATION CONDO WAS WONDERFUL AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO STAY HERE AGAIN.
- Julie R. from Caldwell, Posted: 08/01/2018
Rental served it purpose but the beds in second bedroom were very uncomfortable. Overall a good experience.
- Wendy H. from Kerrville, Posted: 05/15/2018
Location of the Fishermans Friend was not good,the sun never shone on the little two person patio.
- Gordon N. from Grand Falls-Windsor, Posted: 03/13/2018
Due to hurricane Harvey it may have impacted the condition of this property.
- George R. from Russell, Posted: 01/02/2018
You came at a time when the siding on the whole building was being replaced. That work has reached a stopping point and should no longer impact guests. Thank you for your feedback, we hope we get the opportunity to earn your business again in the future.

This was a great property for the family. It was roomy and was very clean! We can't wait to stay there again!
- Kathy F. from Buda, Posted: 08/14/2017
This was an amazing place to stay! Any issue we had was addressed promptly! Loved our room loved the island! Would definately stay here again!
- David and Misty R. from CRESCENT, Posted: 07/05/2017
We had a great week. A few updates to the condo would be beneficial but overall the place was neat and clean and we had a wonderful time.
- Anna G. from New Braunfels, Posted: 06/12/2017
The condo is very clean and modern. The beds were comfortable and the property well kept. The boat slip is bigger than normal which came in handy with our boat. It is easy to get where you want to so since SPID is just a block away. We really enjoyed the place. The folks at Padre Escape has always been a great group of people to work with. We have used them for many years. This year we needed a bigger place so we moved to this condo. We were very pleased.
- Scott H. from San Angelo, Posted: 05/02/2017
The Fisherman's Dream was in a great location. The fact that it came with a covered reserved parking was nice as well. What I didn't like was that the place was a bit dusty. It also had a bit of a smell to it. Maybe an air freshener or a Scentsy for use while there would have been nice. I also didn't understand the reason for 2 TV's Other than that we were pretty happy with the condo.
- Anonymous from Euless, Posted: 04/20/2017
I found myself temporarily relocated to the Corpus Christi area for 4 months with business and needed a home rather than a hotel room. The Fisherman's Dream condo fit the bill perfectly. It is in a great location with proximity to Corpus Christi but out on 'The Island'. It is comfortable , well stocked and maintained. The balcony provides a relaxing canal view and great area to check emails and get after hour work done. The hot tub is outstanding!
