Reviewer Comments:
The rental was very nice, we had everything we needed and the people from Padre Escapes were very nice at all times.
True representation on-line, easy booking and good communication. The condo had everything we needed and the washer/dryer was convenient. I would have rated cleanliness a 5 except the floors could have used mopping. Everything else was very clean!! Close to restaurants, the beach and other activities. Great weekend stay with family!
Very short and sweet, but the condo was everything we needed. Hopefully, we’ll return for longer stay next time
