It was great: location, cleanliness, exactly as shown, staff was great, the pool was great too. We had a very relaxing & wonderful time. Would stay again.

Air conditioner was weak. But we were not there during the day that much. The pool was very nice. Loud music from pool until after 10 or 11 pm

This was a nice place to beat the heat in between us land activities. It was clean and well-equipped. We would stay again.

We love staying at this comple, all of the units are beautiful and the pool is the best on the island. We also love that it is pet friendly so that our pug Frankie gets to come too.

We love this complex also! The pool is one of a kind and we are happy to know you enjoyed it as much as we do! Glad you are able to bring your fur baby and we can't wait to host you again.

We try to grab a Palm Bay condo every year we come to Padre - they have the best pool for the days or hours when the waves or weather are too rough for the beach. Best pool we've found in the area hands down with great plants too. A 90 second drive to the beach.
We love this unit's 2 car garage and best patio view of the hummingbirds in the morning. Has all the kitchen appliances you will need. Clean and comfortable. My kids love that the bedrooms are upstairs.

Some of the furniture was in need of repair. There was a double bed in each large bedroom instead of a queen. We were unable to sleep well in the smaller bed.

Hi Brenda! Thank you for your feedback. Our records indicate the unit's beds are a queen size, we will confirm this and make changes on the website if needed. We hope to host you soon.

This was the perfect condo for my family of three on our first vacation to Corpus Christi/Padre Island. We chose this location because it is just a couple minutes drive to the beach and had an incredible pool. Overall, a few things could have made our stay more pleasant though.
PROS: close drive to beach, awesome pool, garage with the unit, well stocked kitchen tools, nice/updated place with fairly comfortable beds, super helpful management to assist with check in and check out, the condo itself was immaculately clean.
CONS: the biggest downside was the state of the pool (we were there for 4 days and it was never cleaned, gross piles of sand/dirt collected all on the bottom with constant debris floating around, and I never saw anyone there for maintenance. It was a disappointment for sure), our AC also couldn’t keep up with the July heat and remained near 80 degrees regardless of setting (the unit could use some room darkening curtains to help keep cool during day during summer months), and some of the furniture (couches) were pretty wore out/damaged but still comfortable for the small amount of time we were inside.
OVERALL: We would love to stay here again because of the many perks and how well it worked for my family. But the cleanliness of the pool might make me hesitate. And I would need to pack some fans for a mid-summer trip if the AC isn’t able to keep up. I hope it was a fluke instance for both because everything else made for a perfect family trip.

Thank you for your review, we are always looking to evolve and improve the guest experience, so we truly value your feedback. We reached out to the HOA several times about the lack of cleanliness in the pool as they are the ones to schedule the cleaning. We were made aware that they did replace the spider-gasket and have the pool cleaned daily, so all should be well now! We look forward to your next visit!

Everything went as planned. Loved the space. The patio was a definite plus. Our son, that lives in Texas met us there. All was a wonderful setup and the weather was beautiful. Loved it all!

Very enjoyable stay. The condo is spacious and outfitted with anything you could need.Pool is very nice with great area for younger children with shallow wading area. Beach is a quick 2 minute drive away. Padre Island National Seashore is a short drive away too. Also loved that I could bring my cat. People very friendly. I would rent again.
- Tamara C. from MAPLEWOOD, Posted: 05/17/2021
We are glad you enjoyed the Palm Bay complex! It is definitely a guest favorite, especially the resort style pool! We look forward to hosting you again.

Very nice 2 bedroom unit, comfortable and clean. We loved the pool, the grounds, the other guests. Pool is exceptional! Friends who visited us decided to stay at Palm Bay next winter. When we needed maintenance, the property managers were very responsive. Good experience all around.

Great location! However, carpet is old and dirty. Didn’t appear to be vacuumed everywhere either nor cleaned well. Found Gatorade bottle underneath the couch. The garage had broken glass from a beer bottle or something so needed to clean before pulling our vehicle in. Patio was a mess too and spiderwebs everywhere. Furniture was good for sitting out there due to cleanliness. Sofa bed was broke on the right corner where our kid almost fell thru and hurt themselves. There wasn’t a blanket either for the sofa bed. Tub didn’t drain in the bedroom that is over the garage. Which is common and property managers don’t ever check nor clean the AC vents or vents in the bathrooms. For the price expected better cleanliness especially in COVID times.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Palm Bay Village this year while we were Winter-Texans. Padre Escapes took care of everything for us and when there were a couple things we needed while down there, we called and they responded practically instantly. Only slight negative was the unit we stayed in could use some paint to freshen it up, but I can also appreciate that rental properties take some abuse (NOT by Winter Texans though, we take care of others things). Everyone that we dealt with from rental to maintenance was helpful and a joy to deal with. We would definitely go with Padre Escapes again and highly recommend them.

Pleasantly surprised at how large the unit was and how well equipped we found it to be. Bed was comfortable and all amenities one would want was readily available. Padre Escape staff were helpful and very polite and professional.

This place is by far the best I’ve ever stayed at on the beach!!! So spacious, so clean, so nice!! We’re definitely staying here every time we go to the beach!

The furniture in the living room is not in the unit. What is there is some uncomfortable second hand furniture that the owner switched out. With the help of Padre Escapes the owner refunded $200.of our rent for the 7 weeks we were there. Palm Bay is a very nice complex you should look at other units.
- Dennis C. , Posted: 03/25/2019
As we discussed while you were here the previous furniture was leather and had begun to peel and flake off so it was replaced. It was nor replaced with secondhand furniture. We're having new photos shot to show the new furnishings. Thank you for the feedback.

This place is the best way to experience N. Padre Island. Plenty of room, clean, and very accessible to everything the island has to offer. The beach is less than a mile, the pool is right outside the patio, and having an attached garage makes it super convenient. We were very happy with our stay here. Would definitely try to rent here again!
- Sara K. from AUSTIN, Posted: 08/15/2018
Overall I was very happy with the experience. My only comment would be the lack of lighting in the parking lot.
- Shawn B. from Converse, Posted: 05/22/2018
This is the 2nd year we have stayed on padre island with renting thru Padre Esacapes. We have once again enjoyed our 2 months on the Island. People are very friendly and helpful. We have enjoyed coming here so much so that we have decided to come back once again next winter and we are looking forward to seeing the good friends we have made. The people at Padre Escapes are fantastic and so professional, I am very impressed with this rental company.
- Gordon T. , Posted: 04/08/2018
was a pleasure staying here. First time to rent a condo and was a wonderful experience. Place was clean close to beach and fishing.property management was extremely friendly and courteous Would definitely stay here again.
- James S. from Georgetown, Posted: 08/24/2017
A week in July. Unit located near pool, easy access. Kids loved the pool! A slight problem with sleeper couch, in need of small repair. A spring mattress a little uncomfortable, could use a memory foam topper. The rental management quickly accomadated us with sufficient air mattress & bedding to make stay a very pleasurable experience. a little pricey with all the fees but, probably no more than a hotel. Had a kitchen and rarely ate out, nice. A short drive to Padre & Mustang beaches. Yes We would stay there again.

We decided last minute to go to the beach, but really lucked out when we found the 3 Buoys property. As soon as we opened the door to our unit, we realized the description and photos matched the reality. It was clean, spacious for the five of us and close to everything including a convenience store for forgotten items, the main bridge back into Corpus Christi and of course, the beach! The pool area was gorgeous too with plenty of chairs, play areas for young children and a waterfall and built-in bar/table for adults. The management firm communicated constantly making the check-in and check-out process very simple. We'd recommend it to anyone and plan to come back again!

Overall good experience. The unit had pots, pans, plates, and utensils. Good location and facilities. The unit did not have cable in the bedrooms, so the tvs were more for decoration. Great to have a garage to park in.
