Unit was great as always but the complex needs attendance: people blaring not child appropriate music at the pool, toss fireballs between puddle pool & the larger pool hogging the space and posing hazard to the little ones, etc. Can’t imagine what’s it’s like on the weekends; I sure wouldn’t pay a premium to stay closer to the pool. Moreover, one of the rental golf carts parking in the guest space next to me essentially committed hit & run and causing damage to my vehicle bumper...

We had a great time at our vacation rental. Plenty of space for 6 people. It was very clean. The manager was very prompt in responding to any and all questions we had. Check in/out was fantastic. The pool was very nice. The beach was easily accessible by car or it was a very short walk. We will definitely go back.

Gave me confidence the unit was managed by professionals. I was 1000% peace of mind everything was cleaned thorughly.

Overall we had a great stay! A few glitches but management company was right on it. The unit was decorated beachy. Nice clean sheets and towels. Great to have a washer in unit Very comfortable for grandparents and two grandkids. Super roomy and good location. Not quite walkable to beach but a quick drive. Only complaint was there was a note about how they did not make top bunk beds. As an elderly couple we found this unacceptable. Isn’t that why you hire housekeepers? Unit could also use some hooks for swimsuits, towels, etc.

Village by the Beach I921K Was the prefect spot for our last minute getaway. On whitecap beach near the Packery channel, we could head down to the beach or make a quick drive to the channel for some fishing. The home was the prefect size for our family of five. It was very clean and comfortable. And walking oh distance to the beach

This was a great location to the beach and local stores, restaurants. We really enjoyed the pool area so spacious and not to crowded. The only recommendations I would have to say about the property is please REPLACE the mattresses and box springs in all the bedding. I honestly felt like we we're sleeping on Flintstone bed rocks. They creaked so much and so uncomfortable. The bedroom lacks better lighting. The sofa furniture is outworn and poorly maintained. Overall experience unhappy not sleeping comfortably. Inspections should be done consistently to determine replacement of furniture and bedding. Be wary of this unit quality of furniture and bedding.

I would recommend to a friend if the the issues stated are addressed.

Thank you for the feedback, we do property inspections before every stay but testing the beds are not part of that inspection process. We will take your feedback to the owner and work with them on getting updates made.

Padre Escapes staff

Was extremely pleased with all the information provided by Padre Escapes about the unit, etc. It made checking in and out extremely stress-free and I felt that if I needed anything I could easily contact them. The unit was clean, great location near the beach but also being able to park directly in front of the unit was great! As much as we loved the unit over-all, we would not stay here again because of the horrible, squeaky mattress. If I had read previous reviews, I would of not stayed there. Even if you tried to sit on the bed it made a loud squeaky noise. Not sure if its the mattress, a cover on the box springs or what, but it made it near impossible to sleep as you couldn't turn over without waking up the person next to you. Hopefully this will be addressed as the unit is great other than that.

We had a very nice stay at this location. We've stayed in this complex before and would do so again. It's clean, close to the beach, and has a great layout. Note, the buildings look similar and have the same numbers on their units, you have to pay attention to the street your unit is on - and the street was missing its sign. We went by 2 other units in buildings across the way, that were occupied and had the same unit number. It was a little weird.

Anonymous from Kyle - Posted: 6/22/2022

Sarah, thank you so much for your feedback! It is very important to be mindful of the street you are one, as unit numbers duplicate quite often from complex to complex. Thank you for highlighting that here. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and are happy to welcome you & yours back anytime. Thanks so much for choosing Padre Escapes! :)

Padre Escapes staff

It was hard to find the right building because there’s no street name. I was trying to open a different unit with same number. Didn’t know there’s same number condos on different streets. After that everything was wonderful. Clean with everything needed.

Anonymous from san antonio - Posted: 6/14/2022

Yes this complex will share the same unit number and the street names will confirm the condo you are staying in. The street names are located on the stop sign at the end of the "street" . We thank you for your feedback and will get with team to see how we can make this easier for guests! Thank you.

The vacation rental was nice. It was fairly clean and had the space we needed (2 adults, 2 children). We would rent there again. The bed was extremely squeaky! I saw that in the reviews previously. Didn’t think much of it form the reviews, but it was really annoying.

The rental experience itself was great. Renting and location was great. The bed was very creaky and loud. The TV in the living room was a smart TV but couldnt connect to any apps or the internet. Only had cable

Anonymous from Georgetown - Posted: 7/9/2021

Thank you for the feedback, we will check out that squeaky bed and smart TV. Hope we see you back again soon.

Padre Escapes staff

Overall, the condo rental was great. During the first night, the stove and cable tv was found not working. However, after making a call to the after hours service, the two problems were properly addressed within 1 hour of notification. Loved the one bedroom and bunks. Only drawback was the extremely noisy king bed which sounded like getting on an air mattress and the pull out couch bed pad was thin where the support bars underneath were felt. Location to the beach was great and the youth pool area was great. For the price and amenities, this place is a bargain! Will definitely visit the property again for future vacations!

This unit is on the corner and is nicely decorated. My only complaints are: a/c unit is outside the master bedroom and is very loud, TV in master bedroom doesn't work, King size bed in master is hard and the box springs are loud, the front door is hard to open(needs repair), shower curtain rod is not attached to the wall. I had a nice stay in this unit, but would probably choose another one next time.

Anonymous from Temple - Posted: 6/19/2020

Unit is very spacious for 2 people and could comfortably accommodate up to 4 if it's not all adults. Check-in & checkout process extremely easy. Location is perfect if you want to be near the water. The beach is about a block away and you can easily trek on foot or drive your vehicle. Swimming pool is a few steps away from the unit on the other side of the parking lot. Beautiful pool and is why I reserved here because all other pool pictures of facilities in the area looked much smaller & just "OK." Pool area has plenty of seating and tables. Charcoal grills scattered around that we didn't use, but did see a few families utilize. Parking for the unit is right at the front door, so we liked that. Plenty of lighting for the porch and that was a plus. I found the decorations for the unit to be nice and simple. Plenty of kitchenware if you want to cook/eat in. Fridge has a icemaker which was extremely handy for beach/pool days. Coffeemaker is ity bity. My cons: master bed is extremely loud. It is like lying down on a board covered w/bubble wrapped styrofoam that crunches at every move. It was annoying. There is ONE hook in the entire unit that you can hang something, and it is in one of the bedroom closets. It's a beach rental, but you have no where to hang wet towels and swimwear-- not even in the bathroom!! We had wet items draped all over the chairs, doors and bunkbed rails which I found to be silly. There are stains on the living room chairs and when we arrived I did a walk-through and found stains on the decór pillows in the bedroom. I was disgusted and glad I hadn't brought my blacklight. There was dust on the corner wall of the bedroom, little crystal rocks scattered on the corner floor of the bedroom, and dust fuzz in various areas of the living room. Indications to me that no real cleaning had been done. It is a nice unit and I would rent again, but I would bring my own sheets, blankets, bath towels, and hooks the next time around.

Love, love, love our condo stay. It was close to the beach, Texas State Aquarium, Turtle Rescue Center and other fun things. Our only complaint was the mattress in the master bedroom. It was hard and makes a crunchy sound when barely touched. Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely return soon.

Anonymous from White Settlement - Posted: 6/9/2019

Loved this condo! Spacious and beautiful with just about everything we needed to survive vacay. Floor could have been cleaned better and the water pressure from the kitchen sink was less than desirable. I realize it’s a beach house so the floor is bound to get dirty but we had an 8 month old crawling around and her shirts and knees would get filthy from the floor. Other than that it was a fantastic place to get away and we would totally stay here again ��

Loved the beach decor for this unit! However there were a few things that we didn’t like. The sofa bed was broken, & too uncomfortable to sleep in that we had to just sleep on the couch. The master bedroom bed was extremely uncomfortable & made a lot of noise with even the slightest move. Very few to no utensils, & there was only 2 towels for our family of 6 which we found an to be inconvenience... the unit was very spacious & loved the added square footage but will not stay at this unit again. We throughly enjoyed the 14914 Village Beach dr instead since it had everything we needed, plenty of utensils, towels, sleeps 7 & had added square footage as well.

Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 7/7/2018

Thank you for your feedback. We do stock additional towels in the master bedroom closet as well as on the foot of every bed. We would've happily fixed any issues with the sleeper sofa had we been made aware. We will get by there now to check it out. Thank you again for your feedback and we apologize for these issues.

Our overall experience was very good. Convenient parking directly outside the front door for easy unpacking. For a 1 bedroom, all the space was utilized well and it worked for our family of 4. We would definitely go back!

Our family had an amazing time at our stay at The Village By The Beach. Their condos are absolutely amazing and fully equipped for your needs. Our 4yr old and 9yr old absolutely loved the bunk beds. We went on vacation to spend time on the beach But I honestly believe we spent the most time in the luxury of our room and by their Amazing pool. My boys did not want to leave. We will be returning before this summer ends and for many summers to come.

We had a great stay at this condo with plenty of room to sit and dine (we had 4 in our group). The bbq grill is right outside the condo and the pool is close. The beach is an easy walk if you don't have a lot of stuff to bring or you can drive.
I do have a few items that were bothersome but we managed..The bed was soooo loud to sit on and getting in and out. It wasn't sqeeky but a loud crunchy noise I slept on the couch to avoid waking my husband as I toss n turn a lot.
Kitchen can use some important additional items:
CAN OPENER (we had to cut open a can with a knife) BOTTLE OPENER for wine.
LARGER PAN (had to cut bacon to cook)
COOKIE SHEET condo only had a brownie pan I had to cook biscuits in batches
and maybe a plastic platters to bring out to the BBQ
we made due but the first night we ate late as we arrived in the evening so we could not go by an opener and it took longer to cook breakfast with limited items. We will be and hopefully the condo will have additional needed items that most condos already have.

Wonderful stay! Just as beautiful as the pictures. Easy check in and very professional. Great location between the water and stores. The bunk beds are bigger thean appear which was great considering the one room. I was very satisfied with the cleanliness. And would defiantly recommend this condo.

Anonymous from Conway - Posted: 8/22/2017

The place was very clean and nice. Great location. My only complaint is about the bed in the master bedroom. It was probably the most uncomfortable bed I have slept on in my entire life! After the first night, my husband slept on the couch (not sofa bed - those are always uncomfortable) and I slept on one of the bunk beds. Other than the bed, everything else was great.

Anonymous from Temple - Posted: 8/16/2017

We had a great time! Very clean condo! Little BBQ pit right outside. Bunk beds were big enough for teenagers. The living room was much bigger than expected. I do not know much about the island - but seems to be in a growing area. Most the surrounding properties are all new and just as clean. 2 parking spaces reserved right outside the door. Great pool just around the corner - all pictures of the property are a good reflection of the property. Beach is about a 30 second drive, 5 minute walk. We drove everyday and parked right on beach. One day we drove to the national park and had a good time, but the beach right there is just as good and less crowded.

This was perfect for our family of four! I am very picky about cleanliness, and this place passed the test. Condo was very spacious, clean and comfotable. Walking distance to beach was awesome! My husband and 10 yr old love to drive over, set up and hang at the beach all day, so me and my teen could walk back and forth when we were ready. Complex had nice pool and grills. These are one story condos surrounded by 2-3 story condos. I usually prefer a view, but all the positives here greatly outweighed a view.

The Rental Unit was comfortable, except for the lighting in the bedroom & Bathroom. Needed brighter lights to see to get dressed & apply makeup.
Bed Mattress was wonderful.
I enjoyed eating at MM on Bob Hall Pier and Broklyn Pizza Co & beaching at National Seashore. Pools were nice & great for the children. Need security, as Cooler was taken out of my sons pickup one night.

Sorry to hear about your cooler. The back of a truck is never a good place to leave a cooler but this is the first type of incident we've had like this. Thank you for your feedback.

Padre Escapes staff

First time venture to Village By The Beach. We usually stay closer to Mustang Island/Port Aransas. We were skeptical and once we pulled in and entered the condo, wow. The layout of the property was neat and clean and user friendly. All duplex style condos, one floor layout. No stairs to climb and two parking spaces right in front of your door. Love it.
Next, the floor plan of the 1-1 sleeps 5 comfortable. I have 3 daughters and the 2 youngest love the bunk bed cove, my eldest daughter is a sofa sleeper. My wife and I had plenty of room in the master. All the amenities are in the kitchen, open style for you to cook while your kids sit at the bar to ask you what's cooking.
The pool area is very nice size but could be slightly bigger for the amount of condos there but for the most part very nice for the kids.
Beach Access was perfect, short walk or 30 second drive to pick your spot on the clean beach and stay all day. If I needed to make a run back to the condo, 30 seconds to grab whatever, it was awesome.
The location is near gas stations, stores, and restaurants if you wanted to take a short drive after a day at the beach.
We loved our stay and we loved it so much we made reservations to stay again in July.

The rental was above and beyond what I expected. It was a much needed quiet getaway with the convenience of the beach a block away. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Anonymous from Lakewood - Posted: 5/16/2017

The condo was clean, pleasantly furnished & seemed spacious for a 1 BR rental. It doesn't have a poolside patio, but those condos that are by the pool have inconvenient parking not near the rental entrance. The only problem was there are no bedside lamps beside the master bed or by the bunk beds, which is fine for people with Kindles/Nooks, but not for the rest of us...
