Fantastic theming for the whole family

We had a fantastic stay and the children loved the theming. Everything from the kitchen magnets to the toilet paper holders is pirate themed. They even have a children's book about becoming a pirate in the kids room and we had fun reading it at bedtime and making pirate voices. Then you step out the front door and find a pirate ship playground. The whole complex is a fun family atmosphere with pool, splash pad, and BBQ grills in the island theme. We will definitely be back and we are so happy we chose this for our stay.

Enjoyed our stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My kids loved the pirate bunk bed, playground and pool! It was easy to enjoy the beach and the unit was clean. The only thing that could have made our experience better was to be more generous in the amount of dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent and towels supplied.

Fun spring break

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was so fun - a playground right outside the door, a great pool, and such a fun pirate themed place. The kids loved the board games too. The location was very convenient to the beach and the grocery. The lone item I’d change was that the master shower and sink never got hot, just tepid.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great rental very clean and well set up to accommodate my family; my kids loved the pirate ship bunk bed and the playground right outside the front door! Padre escapes management team is great also, they are easy to get ahold of and came quickly when we had trouble getting into the unit. My only complaint for the unit is the dishwasher needs to be mounted properly so it can drain, it had standing water in the bottom causing a foul odor, also the front door was difficult to open. In general a great place and I would come back!
