We love the end unit and the privacy away from the pool. Just a few steps away from our parking spot. The enclosed patio means my toddler can’t roam freely. Love that the pool area is fenced in and there is a toddler pool. The adult pool is heated and has a tanning shelf which my toddler loves to play in. We try to get this unit each time we visit the bedroom downstairs with king bed and bathroom is perfect for my senior parents. The upstairs bedroom with 2 queen beds and bath is perfect for my family of 4. The area is safe for my toddler to run up and down the sideways under our watchful eye to get the zoomies out.
My only negative is the playground area hand a billion mosquitos, during the summer the upstairs bedroom could benefit from a box fan to bring the cooler air from downstairs up.This trip we needed the office to reset the internet and it took them 3 days to do so.
Then there are just a few personal negatives that are probably specific to me: I needed to purchase baby gate so my toddler couldn’t independently navigate the stairs. Also despite being a short walk to the beach you have to buy your own beach towels/toys. I like to ensure the space is clean before leaving but I had to purchase my own supplies to do so. Lastly some throw blankets , extra pillows, liens and towels would have gone a long way.

This is a lovely condo. There was plenty of seating, and a patio with a hose to rinse off from the beach. The beds were all comfortable, and there was a washer/dryer, which is always nice, as well as a few kitchen appliances. I have two suggestions. The condo had some extra pillows, but not pillow cases for them. It advertised having a Keurig, so I brought pods, but when I got there, it was a regular coffee make. The pool is a few steps down the sidewalk, and the beach is about a 5-7 minute walk. We also appreciated that it was pet-friendly, but super clean. I'd definitely stay here again.

We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The room was perfect! Everything was more then wonderful! Our entire family fit very comfortably. We had absolutely no complaints! The pool was beautiful the kids loved it! And huge shout out to Emily she was so sweet and went above and beyond! She helped get a bday sign up in the room, as well as a little cake! Emily you are the best! It made her entire day! It was more then appreciated! My daughter was very suprised and she loved it! You guys definitely won us over!

Pros: We had a great time at Padre Escapes. The pool was steps away and the adult side was warm. Had a shelf for toddler to play in. The beach was a short walk/drive away. The place was spacious and the beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed with pots, pans and dishes. Loved having a full size washer/dryer in unit.
The only cons we had were: toddler pool was not heated, no extra pillow cases, we have a toddler and the patio gate was awesome but would of been nice to have a baby gate at the top and bottom of steps. This was also the first place we stayed at that didn’t have seasonings stocked in the cabinets.

Great experience! Very nice accommodations. The fridge needed wiping out, the towels and wash cloths could use replacing, but otherwise very clean and comfortable. The location so close to the beach access is great. I would definitely rent here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The rental property was clean and nicely furnished. Great location near the pool and where we parked but tucked away in a corner unit so it was very convenient but also private.
One area for improvement would be the patio. It needs a good power washing and cleaning.

We enjoy hearing that you enjoyed your stay, Andrea! We're very glad that this unit was too your liking and accommodated you well! Thank you for your note on the patio - we will be sure to let our team know of this for our future guest stays!

This rental has a great floor plan and was just right for our small family. It would even work for a larger family as the sofa bed and hidden bed could certainly accommodate 4 more. The location was perfect, the Village by the Beach complex and unit itself were very clean. The place overall is very accommodating and we were able to bring our dog! I highly recommend this rental.

We rented this condo for a short stay at the beach with our dog. We'd stayed in a adjacent property last year, and this one is just as convenient to the beach, shopping, and restaurants.
Property was very clean and well stocked. (No foods or even spices, but this is standard in beach rentals.) Living area, kitchen, and master were all on the ground floor, so it was easy for people and dog to get around.
I give Padre Escapes highest marks for a property management company. We have stayed at one of their properties before and their communication, friendliness, and professionalism are the best and most consistent I've seen.
Would definitely stay at this property (or another Padre Escapes property) again.

Huge birthday celebration at pool held us from using community pool. Loud and rude people. We thought that was not allowed...we will not stay here again. Place also was not clean as floor needed swept and counters wiped down...beds were uncomfortable.

We loved the townhome we stayed in. It was clean and the beds were comfy! It was hard to find a place that would allow 2 dogs, so we appreciate this property. Property management was there to answer any questions we had, which was very nice! We had a blast and will be back!
- Felicia M. from Haslet, Posted: 06/28/2022
Checkin was super easy. Our condo was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Everything was labeled from light switches to the shelves for plates, bowls, extra linens etc. which makes settling into a vacation rental simple. The location is perfect! Close to the pool, close to parking spot and walking distance to the beach! We give this unit 5 out of 5 stars!!

Nice place, but there were a few problems. There were ants on the counter by the sink and I killed most of them, the water pressure downstairs was bad and every morning the lawn people were out and blowing dirt all over the patio furniture so we couldn't sit outside and enjoy the morning. Overall we did like the place and would go there again. The interior was well maintained.

This property was a great place to stay! Close to the beach, a lot of activities close by, good restaurants, & stores, etc. The property was beautiful & spacious, a good fit for four people & two dogs. Only two minor hiccups the whole time, the garbage disposal did not work the entire time we were there, & we could not figure out the Keurig coffee machine, even though my mother has a similar one for years, & we tried the directions on the coffeemaker & looking them up online. Otherwise, it was a near perfect stay! Thank you very much, Padre Escapes!!

The staff at Padre Escapes were all VERY friendly and made the booking process SUPER easy. The condo was clean, nicely decorated and had most all of what we needed to cook, wash clothes and feel at home! We didn't want to leave! We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We cleaned the condo very well prior to leaving as a token of our appreciaion and to make the job easy for the cleaning staff. We also left a vase of roses as an appreciation gift. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable vacation!

Rental was nice and quiet. Everyone we met was friendly. Easy to stay an extra day. Pool was very nice once it opened!! I have referred some people for sure.
There was dog hair left in the vacuum cleaner and a nice sized clump under the piece that had the TV on top.
- Krista B. from Athens, Posted: 05/25/2020
We (wife and I) stayed for the month of February '20 and enjoyed it immensely and would recommend the location to anyone. The pool was awesome when we could use it (about half our days there were suitable for being in the pool). It is within a block of the beach, so I was able to run the beach as often as I wanted. We had visitors and were very comfortable with our kids joining us and some friends (at a different time). The kitchen is a little tight for multiple cooks though. The listing says you can sleep 10 but we, as an older couple, would not have been comfortable with that many people at once. Next time we come back to Padre Island this would be our first choice.
- Anonymous from Menomonee Falls, Posted: 03/22/2020
Great condo. Love the location of this condo in the complex, right on the end so somewhat private with parking very close by. Great access to pool. Pool was heated, but could have definitely been a little warmer! Condo has all of the dishes, pots and pans you could need. Games and tv’s with Netflix and Amazon Prime we enjoyed. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, 2 full baths (one with shower, one with tub/shower). King bed downstairs, 2 queen beds upstairs, and full size pull out bed in a dresser in living room. This complex is 1 block back from beach, so easy walk over to beach. Overall, we love Village by the Beach complex and would definitely stay in this unit again!

It was very simple renting this house, had a great time, very neat and great for a lot of people and kids. Right by the pool and not far from the beach. Had an excellent time and will stay here again.
- Tana S. from Dallas, Posted: 07/10/2019
The rental was presented clean and complete with necessities. Very roomy (too big) for only 2 people so we'll opt for a 1 BDRM next year. Guests we invited did not make the journey to TX.
- Dick & Sherry T. from Jackson, Posted: 03/12/2019
We enjoyed our stay immensely! I would stay here again and did not want to leave this time. There were six of us - 3 adults/3 kids. We were all very comfortable and there was room to spare. This condo is extremely relaxing, peaceful, and spacious. The ambiance is amazingly beachy and fun. Everything is modern and new. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes and cookware. The floors are also very nice. The porch is fabulous for any ages to sit and enjoy the breeze, or for the kids to sit and lounge. The condo is steps away from the pool and the parking is close. The pool is gorgeous and was perfect for all ages as well as great for little swimmers as there are multiple kiddie pools as well as a shallow area at both ends of the pool. We also used the bbq pit by the pool to grill hotdogs and sausage. I think this condo is great for families, girls trips, or couples. You will have a great time! We sure did!
- Anonymous from Manor, Posted: 08/11/2018
We stayed at the Village by the beach for 3 nights. The property and the condo by itself are very clean. Access to the beach (walking) is not as convenient as we thought but manageable.
It is the parking that we disliked. Spaces between car to car are limited. When most tenants have trucks and minivans, it made getting in/out of the parking impossible.
Overall we had a great stay and will recommend this property.
- Anonymous from Austin, Posted: 08/01/2018
This vacation was very memorable. It was our first vacation as a family of 4 and the house condo was very nice. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends. My only complaint is that I called on Saturday around 1 because the door bell chime was stuck so the sound kept going off. They said they would come out and fix it and never did. We ended up having to disconnect it at 10pm that night because there was no way we could sleep with that noise going off especially with kids.

We enjoyed our stay at the Village Condos. There was no problems, except for the horrible broom available for clean up of beach sand. A witch would be ashamed of such a broom. The beds were comfy and the Tvs worked. I would probably rent again next summer.
- Frances G. from Smithville, Posted: 06/28/2018
it was good, i wish that the house keeping team would check on daily basis. i loved the property but if i am paying $270 a night i expect toilet paper on daily basis. i think that's unacceptable.
- Behdad N. from Hutto, Posted: 06/02/2018
We provide you with a starter supply of toilet paper of two rolls per bathroom. You were there a total of 3 nights so it would seem that would be an ample amount of toilet paper for your stay. We also want our guests to have the privacy of a home and not have to worry about being interrupted by housekeeping, that?s part of the appeal of a vacation rental. Thank you for your feedback.

- jonathan p. from Fort Worth, Posted: 07/09/2017
This was a family get away to let the in-laws meet the ne Great Grandbaby, and it could not have been a more perfect place. This unit was maybe a 5 minute walk to beach, and the pool(which was amazing) was just around the corner, including an area for the little one. We will come back and stay at this location, hopefully the same unit again.

This condo is very nice. It is located on the end of the building and you do not hear a lot of noise. The property was clean and well maintained. The person who helped me with the condo was very friendly and attentive. The only difficulty we encountered was the two parking spaces assigned for this condo. Both parties were driving large trucks so parking in the spaces was not easy. We will definitely rent another condo in the future at this location. Thanks.

We had a wonderful time during our stay in Corpus Christi. The house is beautifully decorated, and everything about the house was exactly as being described on the website. We had no complaint! It is just a short walk to the beach and the pool is right out of the door. We loved the walkway along the beach and the kids enjoyed the pool very much just like they could spend the whole day there. We will definitely refer this property to anyone and will come back whenever we have a chance!

Overall ZERO complaints! Pool was fantastic, townhome was as advertised and better. The pull out bed was an awesome concept. We had and end unit and it was very wall foot traffic, etc. This place met our needs in many ways...WE WILL BE BACK! And Trisha with the Property Management made our stay very easy and she was very professional. I already recommended these townhomes to several friends.
