Aruba Beach Getaway II DLB022K

We had a great check-in experience and the house was cold and comfortable from the outset. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed having the pool right outside our back door. With our stay moving into the off season, we had it mostly to ourselves. We loved the short walk to and from the beach. There were a couple of minor issues, though: not having a supply of trash can liners available and having to purchase some was inconvenient; the pans had some burned-on particles and needed to be scrubbed before we could use them; and the worst part was the ants. There were ants on the front porch that got into our beach toys and they had to be shaken out each time. There were also ants in the rocks around the pool, especially near the barbecue grill. I was grilling on our last night and i was stung several times on my feet before I realized it was the ants. The morning we checked-out, I also noticed an infestation of ants in the upstairs bathroom near the shower.

Clean and very nice. Only issue is the ants outside the front door and they ended up in the bathroom down stairs.
One scorpion in the front bedroom.

Every year for my birthday we go to the coast. This home was big enough for all of my family to enjoy the weekend with us. The location of the pool was right out the back door patio. Close to the beach.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your Aruba Dr location we all had a great time, it was very cold, but we were only there to sleep so we managed. but we did have a great time. location was a bit inconvenience but for the short notice we still had lots of fun. Thank you again.

The house was perfect for our group. The house was clean and well stocked with items needed to make our vacation a success. We loved how close we were to the beach too! Huge shout to Amber for helping us book it and answering our questions along the way!

I'm so happy to hear you all enjoyed the duplex! We look forward to hosting many other successful vacations . Thank you for the shout out, it was shared with Amber, you made her day!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Everything was great! We had lots of fun! The only problem we had was the sink upstairs was draining very slow, so everyone upstairs had to go downstairs and brush their teeth. There was also a little problem with ants, but not too bad. The only other thing I would recommend is that if we are to put the trash in the dumpsters out back, we would need a key to get in/out of the pool gate because we have to go through there in order to get over there. Someone had to let us in/out. Otherwise, our experience was great and we really enjoyed everything.

We are glad you enjoyed this spacious duplex! Please do let us know of any issues during your stay so we may address them as soon as we can while you are here with us! Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to hosting you and your family again!

We went for a 4-day weekend with 4 generations. The major complaint was that there were ants everywhere - outside the front door, the back porch, inside at the top of the stairs and along the common wall behind, under and on the table. The first night, the ants were crawling in our food faster than we could eat it. We bought spray to keep them away. We tried washing towels before we left and the dryer SUCKS! After three cycles, the towels were still not dry - if not for the ants, it would have been faster to hang them outside to dry. The other problem was the table and mostly the benches - the way they are built is an extreme trip hazard. I, in fact, tripped over the leg of one of the benches and fell. Other than that, the size was perfect for our group. The access to the pool is amazing.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 09/03/2021

Thank you for your feedback, we truly appreciate it. I will notify maintenance of the dryer and ant issue. We hope to host you again in the near future!

Very nice place. Convenient to the beach and bay.
Private rooms.
Back door access to the pool

- Emily P. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/01/2021

This unit is one of our favorites to host a lager family. We are happy to hear you enjoyed it as well ! We look forward to hosting you again.

This place is terrific and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. However, there are a few minor negative things that I'll mention:
1) Place wasn't ready for us to check in right at 4pm,which when you pay as much as we did was not cool. After being on the road most of the day we were ready to get our vacation started but didn't get our access code texted to us until almost 4:30
2) There was no broom in the place and with 7 kids the floor stayed pretty messy
3) The bench base is long and sticks out far, we all stubbed our toes on it and it was very painful
4) The dryer doesn't work well, each load had to be ran twice
We realized late in the evening that the cooling units in the bedrooms didn't work so I called and they came around midnight (about 1.5 hours after I called) and installed window units which kept the temperature comfortable for the remainder of our trip.
Again, very minor, and definitely wouldn't deter me from staying here again as the pros (location, heated pool, multiple bedrooms, smart tvs) far outweigh any cons!!

- Sandra R. from Lubbock, Posted: 07/24/2021

trip dates May 12-16
We enjoyed the overhead tarps in the sitting area of the pool- these weren't there last visit. It was nice to see new furniture in kitchen/living area and new dishware for the kitchen. We love the keyless entry! For bunk bed top bunk - we would have appreciated if that had been made up and we didn't have to do that. Futon bed should be replaced upstairs. The washer and dryer are starting to show age and should be replaced. Took couple cycles to dry towels. It would be nice if there was a way to walk from the front to the back of the condo from the outside. A board was missing from the back fence which could allow for small animals to enter. Is there anyway to create one additional parking space instead of the rocks on the right side of the driveway? I was sorry to see property sold across the street. Once a house or whatever goes up, it will now obstruct the view of the bay area. Overall, we had a great experience and the weather cooperated except for the last day (rain).

- Rachel P. from Helotes, Posted: 07/03/2021

Overall it was ok. Small pool and too many people in it. We weren't able to check in till 5pm due to a maintenance issue that really wasn't fixed and left one room with a box fan and no air condition.

- Cynthia A. from San Marcos, Posted: 06/15/2021

Padre escapes was great. Called and informed me of roaches reported by last guest who stayed at original property I had reserved and said it would be taken care of. But asked if I would mind moving to a different unit while the exterminators worked. The unit I was asked to move to had more bedrooms and bathrooms which worked out even better for me as my party was 7 people. Property was great. Location was amazing. Short walk to beach. Pool right outside back door. Pool was very well kept. San Antonio is 2 1/2 hours away so took a day to visit the Alamo. Enjoyed visiting Selena museum and surf museum. Talked to very friendly lady working at visitor center in corpus christi. Can't wait to visit again. Will definitely book with padre escapes again. Only 2 complaints. Downstairs bedrooms had their own a/c units but still were not able to keep cool. Upstairs was very cold compared to downstairs(not sure why) and the previous guest had overrun the garbage can outside and it was there at check in. Garbage pick up apparently is on Friday. We checked in sunday and checked out friday. I was not able to find dumpster that was supposed to be on site to dispose of our garbage from our stay and had to store in recycling can for the week

- Gregory L. from Lincoln, Posted: 06/06/2021

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you were able to be a local and enjoy the Island and Corpus Christi! I will be sure to notify our maintenance team of the ACS and Garbage mentioned above. Thank you.

Padre Escapes is a very pleasant and efficient rental agency with which to deal. Any questions or concerns we had were dealt with immediately. Maintenance issues (very few) were resolved on the day we called. The unit we rented was in good repair and very clean. We were a short walk from the beach and went there every day. The location of the unit is convenient to shopping and restaurants, and is in a quiet, residential area. We will continue to rent our vacation “home” through Padre Escapes.

- RON U. from Grand Rapids, Posted: 05/06/2021

Thank you for the amazing feedback! We will always be here for your vacation needs! We look forward to hosting you again.

Nice place. Plenty of room to gather together and have your own space. Short walk to the beach.

- Kevin H. from Kyle, Posted: 10/15/2020

We had such a good time it was hard to leave and end our vacation. The location was great and the condo was so functional. The beds were very comfortable and the inside was spotless. My family and I would stay again.

- Lily G. from Fort Stockton, Posted: 10/01/2020

This is our third tie to stay here. We rent both sides for our large 18+ member family ranging in age from 8 mo to 77 yrs. There are plenty of beds so none of the adults have to sleep in a bunk bed. It is within walking distance of the beach, but there is also a large parking lot right next to the beach. The shared pool is an extra bonus at the end of the day when you just want to relax and cool off after a day at the beach. My only complaint is the mattresses are a little too firm for my preference, but that is minor compared to everything good.

- Diana G. from Pasadena, Posted: 08/12/2020

It was a good house that slept our family of ten very nicely. There was a distinct smell when we arrived. We used our sprays to try and eliminate the smell. The kitchen said it was stocked, but there wasn’t a medium or large skillet which was annoying.
The only real negative thing we encountered was the pool. The information does not address the fact that you are sharing one small pool with the entire condo complex behind you. We thought we were sharing it with the other side of the duplex, which was understandable. The people were not abiding by the rules, therefore our grandchildren were only able to swim for a little while right after we arrived. They wanted to swim after we had gone to the beach, but there was always too many people in and around the pool area.

- Becky C. from Hutto, Posted: 08/01/2020

Very clean, roomy and nice location. Will definitely stay again

- LaTonya B. from San Antonio , Posted: 06/06/2020

This place is great, so relaxing. You may stay at the pool or go to the beach.. it’s not very far. The house is spacious, plenty of room for several people . Perfect for a BIG group! My son and his friends had a blast.

We enjoyed the condo very much. Great location and easy access to a nice pool!

- Jonathan S. from Shell Lake, Posted: 04/05/2020

Nice clean and spacious for a family getaway.
Office was very helpful and speedy to assist when our other host cancelled. It's not easy to find one space with separate private bedrooms and 3 baths too. We were lucky they have multiple properties to offer unlike the Airbnb single home host.

- Adriana M. from NA, Posted: 10/23/2019

My only complaint was the property had a strong odor that wasn’t there during our stay a couple of years ago. The pool was convenient and fun. The property management company is great Would consider a different unit

- Susan B. from Willis, Posted: 10/20/2019

Thank you for the feedback. This owner is doing some nice improvements/upgrades to the property so we will get it addressed. Thank you for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

I have to say, it was more than I had expected. Other than the washer not working. everything was great,Thank you. We are considering doing it again. staff was helpful when we needed anything too.

- Paul M. from Holland, Posted: 09/12/2019

We'll get that washer taken care of too. Thanks for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Everything was there and worked. Very slim on furniture, the furniture there was either super cheap and small or very used, stained, or broken. Walls with missing paint and scuffs. Very dirty feel. Foot print stained into concrete. Very splotchy concrete stain. House smells of humidity and has unpleasant smell when you enter. We bought air freshener and candle for this.

The house is there and functional. Great access to the pool. Pool area was clean and has grills and tables.

- Matt M. from Weston, Posted: 09/04/2019

Thank you for the feedback. We will check into that smell and as we get out of our busy summer season we will work with the owner on doing touch up paint, deep cleaning and replacing any items there are worn out. Thank you again for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Everything was good me and all my family love this place we always come back.

- Jonathan T. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/06/2019

Rented two condo side by side for 22 family members to vacation on South Padre. 15018 was amazing with only one minor hiccup upon arrival. Roaches! Called and they came and sprayed. We had no signs of them afterwards. Yippee. Dishes in both units had to be cleaned as did my master bath as had handprints in it. The other 15022 needs some serious love. As I stated to office the minute I opened the door it was very musty & had dirty and stained furniture. The paperwork said Lucy had cleaned on 7/2 but was pretty evident that wasn’t the case. Later it was discovered overall cleanliness was lacking. Dust enough to write messages, dirty dishes and bad air filters. Which we cleaned & changed ourselves. Back door was broken and maintenance took care of it quickly.
Was a bit disappointing to that we were told we were 1.5 blocks from beach with no roads to cross and actually we were a twenty minute walk with two roads to cross so meant driving each visit since we had small kids. Overall for cost per day these things were disappointing. With that being said, The location to Schlitterbahn and shopping was great. Also less than 15 minutes to HEB and Walmart.

First and foremost we apologize for the housekeeping issues but we do appreciate your feedback. Housekeeping is a priority for us so we will share your feedback with the department and get it addressed going forward. Not sure which beach you were going to but it's definitely not a 20 minute trip. Glad we were able to address your concerns promptly. Thank you for the feedback, we look forward to having you back again soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

This is our go to spot for the last three years. My family has loves this place because of the easy access to the pool and short walk to the beach. For the last two trades we have rented both sides of this duplex. It’s a lovely property that unfortunately is beginning to show the wear and tear. Not sure if we will make this four years in row because of this.

- marcia d. from Austin, Posted: 06/27/2019

Sorry to hear that, the owner did make recent upgrades to one of the two sides of the duplex. We'll work them on additional upgrades to this side as well. Thank you for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Loved that the swimming pool was just outside of the back door. I was able to fish on the other side of the street (front door) and the beach was only a block away. House is roomy and was clean.

One thing that could be improved, my opinion, dining room table was to big for the area. This made it difficult to pass with multiple people in the area.

- Gilbert H. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/06/2019

Property worked out perfectly for our family of 8, 2 adult couples an elderly mom and 3 children, bedrooms were great. Everything was as expected, clean and fresh. Would definitely recommend and rent again if the opportunity presents itself. Check in and out was super easy and the progress call on our journey was a nice touch.

- John T. from Houston , Posted: 04/24/2019

The unit was serviceable but somewhat barren. There were no regular chairs. Kitchen well equipped. It was nice to have the pool right outside the back door.
Beds were comfortable.

- Jo and Bob M. from Cumming, Posted: 03/31/2019

We had a wonderful time together, all 29 of us! Everything worked out but the beds and linens was not quite adequate, I had assumed enough beds for 32 people... turns out that couches and hide-a-beds are part of the count. Having youth sleep in the public areas was ok, but not idea.

- Anonymous from Lancaster, Posted: 01/03/2019

Second stay in this facility and we will probably be back next year. Property it great and the few minor issues we have had were dealt with promptly. Great location with a short walk to the beach.

- Roy Z. from San Angelo, Posted: 09/18/2018

I can honestly say that by renting homes yearly around this location this is by far the best one. We loved everything about our stay. The amount of rooms was great. The kitchen and living room was open. The pool was right outside the back porch. Beds were comfortable and clean, which is something I always I look at.

It was really good me and my Family enjoyed being there.

- Jonathan T. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/07/2018

Our family - my wife and I, two adult children with spouses and five grandchildren stayed for six days the last week of June. We had a grand time. One minute by car from beach - very clean pool and lounging area with lots of shade and seating. Only comment would be that if you’re planning to cook in a bunch, the age/condition of the cookware will disappoint those of us who are spoiled by what we have at home - just a note, not a criticism- it is after all a rental property. Washer & dryer work great - a must with eleven of us and wet beach towels!!

- Anonymous from Kerrville , Posted: 07/02/2018

Thank you for the feedback, we will double that cookware and make any changes that need to be made.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

This place is AWESOME! Space for large families and within walking distance to the beach. We also loved that the pool was located a few steps away. My family and I could not have asked for a better place to relax and enjoy each other.

- Anonymous from Hutto, Posted: 07/02/2018

Our experience with everything from the rental company (Padre Escapes) to the house was fantastic. This was the third time we stayed in either side of this duplex and we will continue to do so every time our business takes us to Corpus. The house is in great condition. We enjoyed cooking meals in the kitchen. The college students with us enjoyed the shared pool out back. It's literally steps away from the back door.

- Jessica S. from Beaumont, Posted: 03/15/2018

We had a great holiday, home was close to the beach and shops. Lots of room for our family of 10.

The space and layout worked well for our family reunion. Loved the pool out the back door. (But this side of the duplex smelled very musty although it lessened as we went in and out of the house over the weekend.)

- Joe S. from Ridgway, Posted: 10/10/2017

good, coffee maker did not work and there was no dust pan

- eddie s. from Victoria, Posted: 09/12/2017

Thank you for the feedback. We will check on that coffee maker and dust pan. Hope we see you back again soon.

We had a wonderful time. We rented both duplexes, plenty of room and space for 25 plus! The location was easy to find. Easy access to the beach walking or driving! We had a wonderful time at the Texas State Aquarium, very educational and fun. We made memories that will last forever! The management company was very friendly and professional.
Will consider returning in the future.

- Pamela B. from CANYON LAKE, Posted: 08/11/2017

This is our 2nd year to stay here and we will definitely be back. We booked both sides for our large family. Love that most of the beds are either queen or king. The pool right outside the door is another wonderful perk. It's within walking distance (a couple of blocks) to the beach, and there is a large parking lot right next to the beach if you want to drive. Schlitterbahn is about a mile away and there are several good restaurants within a couple of miles. We love Snoopy's. HEB is only a couple of miles.
There were a couple of problems but they were fixed right away. They were having AC problems before we got there, but the repairman was there within a few minutes of our checking in and it was cool shortly thereafter. The refrigerator wasn't as cool as it should have been in one unit. They sent someone to look at it and it got a little cooler, but never quite as cool as the one next door. They explained that it sometimes warms up while being cleaned between bookings and takes awhile to cool off again.
I would definitely recommend this place.

- Diana G. from Pasadena, Posted: 07/20/2017

This is the second time we have stayed at the Aruba Breach Getaway II. We love the place and will stay there again next time. We wish the AC in the main part of the house worked. We did call and turn it in but the termostat was always off.

- Mindy H. from Troy, Posted: 07/16/2017

Thank you for your feedback. We have gotten an AC repair man out there since and it was only a minor connection issue with the AC thermostat that has since been addressed. Thank you again for your feedback, hope we see you back again soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It had plenty of room for the whole family. I loved having the pool steps away from our back door. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The only suggestion I would make is to add hooks in the bedrooms to hang towels and hooks on the patio for wet swimsuits. Overall my family will definitely stay here again.

- Keri B. from Fort Worth, Posted: 07/05/2017

PERFECT!!!

- Matt K. from Carl Junction, Posted: 02/26/2017

We had a blast! Condo was nice & clean & had anything inside it u wanted. It was 1 block off beach very easy to walk to, had pool 50ft out back door that was big hit with kids bc it was red flags at beach so no swimming on it. There was a fence between condo & pool to keep kids out of it very nice it broke called maintenance number and he came in under hour and fixed it in 5min I would use company again we got what we saw in pic & what they said they answered questions head of time check in & & out was a snap I wish it was baby proof my only thing I didn't like

- Tammy B. from Savannah, Posted: 01/05/2017

Hello, when we first walked in it smelled like a dog had urinated. Dog hail alll on the floor mat outside of the door.

- Jimmy E. from Houston, Posted: 12/14/2016

We brought a group of kids for a church event in Corpus Christi. We chose to stay here because we thought it would make for a more enjoyable experience than staying in a hotel. The kids had a blast! The only negative thing that could be said is that we could have used more towels than were provided.

- Preston H. from Brenham, Posted: 11/08/2016

Thank you for your feedback. We would've been happy to provide your more towels upon your request. The property does come stocked with bath towels and wash cloths for every guests and there is a washer and dryer available. Hope we see you back again soon.

Stayed at Aruba 2 for a family wedding.. downstairs was perfect for my elderly parents with a carer.. main bedroom also downstairs for my husband and me..beautiful pool area, well maintained. Upstairs 2 good sized double rooms for my grown up children and partners..would certainly choose this property again

- jo t. from braunton, Posted: 10/22/2016

We had a great time! Everything was perfect for us. There were 18 of us and we had both sides. Enough room for all of us to stay, and it was a very clean place. We would like to go back to the same place and house again. It was in a great location, close to stores, close to the beach, etc. Couldn't ask for anything more. "Perfect"

- Melissa P. from Converse, Posted: 09/27/2016

We enjoyed our stay at Aruba 2. It was great having the pool right out the back door. The beds were comfortable and the kichen qas great. My only suggestion is to maybe add a mop and change the mattress on the futon. Thanks Padre escapes

- Arnold A. , Posted: 07/17/2016

We rented both sides for our group of 17. Loved the fact that kitchen and living areas are downstairs plus one or more bedrooms. All but one of the bedrooms have either king or queen beds - bunk for 4 in the other one, plus futons and sleeper sofas. TVs in all bedrooms and living rooms - even in the upstairs hallways where the futons are. Convenient for my son who is in a wheelchair. Pool right in back. Only drawback is it is shared by several other units. Only about 2-1/2 blocks from the beach (easy walk). Large parking lot right next to the beach with ramps going down to the beach. Lots of places to eat and Schlitterbahn only about a mile away.

- Diana G. from Pasadena, Posted: 07/13/2016

We rented both sides of Aruba Beach and it was Great! Everything we needed was there and the pool access was amazing!

- Mary T. from State College, Posted: 07/08/2016

Great

- liza R. from Houston, Posted: 06/23/2016

The condo was great. We had 13 people in our party. We all had a place to sleep place was very clean and well kept. The only things I would have like to see would be cleaning items. Broom and or vacuum so we could tidy up. More kit ken supplies like a cutting board, good can opener, etc. other then that things were awesome. Would definetly stay there again. Rental property staff were so polite and helpful as well.

- Anonymous from Austin, Posted: 06/16/2016

Should consider that we bring families with children to these places, it was great but to sit children to eat on tall stool is inconsiderate. I hade an 8 year old that her foot got caught in the middle of the stool trying to get off when she finished her dinner, then fell 3 feet to the cement ground, fell folded on her spine while her foot still caught on the stooland screamed her lungs out in Pain. Please bring down the dining table, we had toddlers that needed to eat at a table as well. Doors on some rooms did not lock, we did not receive an emergency key besides the keypad code and got locked out, it happened while going to beach thru back door, a guest locked d door with pad lock and went out the back and locked d bottom one, yes it happens. almost calling a locksmith on a Saturday but managed to open it, laundry door handle slips off. Ice machine in tefrigerator had a melted block of ice in d chute and had to take it out so it can work.

We hate to hear a little one fell and got hurt, we hope she's OK and we'll certainly pass along your feedback to the owner. That's the first we've heard of such an incident there. There is a shorter patio table with shorter chairs that would be ideal for kids. We will also make sure the laundry doors, ice maker and bedroom doors are functioning properly. If any of these issues were reported during your stay we would've been happy to address them. We appreciate your feedback and we will use it to improve our services for future guests.

We rented both Aruba units for our family reunion of 22 people. As far as space went it was excellent. The location was very good, unfortunate for us there was a red tide that week, so we didn't utilize the close beach access. There was plenty of bedding and towels, and the pool made up for our red tide issue in the ocean. I did have a very huge issue with the cleanliness. the floors turned our feet a fuzzy black within four hours. the toilets looked clean on the outside but inside black mold! The dishes were also dirty. And some of the bedding were even dirty. That upset me the most because I was charged a cleaning fee for both units. why should I be charged if I'm walking into filth?

We apologize for the cleaning issues you had to deal with. That is certainly not up to our usual standard. The floors have been an issue for us and we will be addressing them next month. We'll notify the cleaners of the toilet, dishes, and bedding issues and work on improving them. We again apologize for the issues you had to deal with but we do appreciate your feedback.

We had a great time. The place was clean and had everything we need it. We could have used more pots and pans since we were a large group. Overall we had a great time ??

I think you got the rating system wrong. 5 stars is good 1-2 stars is bad. You gave us 1-2 stars on everything but you say had a good time and recommend it to others. Glad you had a great time though. We'll get some more pots and pans in there. Thanks for the feedback.

The rental was great!! The location was perfect. Close to the beach, within walking distance. Clean, with spacious rooms. Enjoyed the pool very much! The kitchen could use a few more utensils, a hand mixer, more towels and more pot holders. But all in all its a great place to spend your vacation at. I have and will recommend it to others. The people at Padre Escapes, are friendly and willing to accommodate you in any way.. TY for a great stay..

Thank you for the feedback, we'll work on getting a few more utensils in there for you.

Beautiful place and location was perfect. Pool was wonderful and the gated area was a perfect spot for the little ones. We rented both sides to accommodate are large group and we had plenty of room. The beach was a block away and the location was close to other attractions. Even the rain didn't put a damper on our stay. Wonderful place!

We celebrated Christmas and Anniversaries for 5 days at Aruba Escape 1 & 2. There were 18 of us and the location was the best! The kiddos got to go to the beach, swim in the pool, and play in an area that allowed the adults to still watch football games.

Great to hear everything went so well! Thank you for the feedback. We're looking forward to your return!

Nice beach house but not a walking distance to the beach. Convenient to the beach though.

It would be better if the check-out time were in the afternoon.

CONDO APPEARED NEAT & CLEAN, HOSE TO WASH OFF WHEN RETURNING FROM BEACH WAS GREAT,as was washer & dryer in condo, KIDS ENJOYED POOL, access to cleaning supplies(brooms, mops) would be a help inside during the stay, only problem was floor dirty to walk on

This rental was in a good location and we liked the house but it was infested with ants and the property manger did not respond to our calls to take care of the problem.

- Maureen M. from Parker, Posted: 07/09/2014

I apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately those sugar ants can be an issue at times here on the island, it's a never-ending battle but we did drop off ant spray for you and we have had regular treatment of the property.

Could have used a trash receptacle instead of having to walk our trash over to a dumpster on the other side of the swimming pool. Also, could have used a fly swatter. Otherwise it was an enjoyable stay.

very nice place. Short walk to the beach and when you don't want to be at the beach you can enjoy the pool and barbecuing. the only thing that we did not have were utensils for barbecuing and something to make pancakes and heat tortillas on. . other than that it was perfect. We just love to cook and eat!! Our family will be back and sure to let others know about this location.

- Beatrice E. from Austin, Posted: 05/28/2014

We have added utensils for barbecuing since your comments. Thank you very much for the feedback and helping us to improve the properties.
