Overall good stay. No coffee filters. We brought our own coffee but thought they would have filters. They did not. Beds are not comfortable. They could use an upgrade and rooms need ceiling fans and more convenient lighting. The bunk room only has desk lamps. Other than that it was very nice. The remodel was well done. Nothing cheap about it at all. Comfortable for the 8 of us for sure! We would go back in spite of my comments!

Thank you for your honest feedback. We do not supply items that can have cross-contamination between stays like coffee or coffee filters. We are happy to report since this review the owners have decided to update to new king size beds. We will update the listing once the changes have been made. We hope to see you back soon!

This place was perfect!! The views were phenomenal! Entertained watching the boats come in from the bay!! Incredible sunsets! The guest bedrooms were hard to keep comfortable without ceiling fans. Had to put a box fan in both rooms (they had one at the house, we purchased a second one), rest of the house was very comfortable AC wise. Cute, cozy, clean, enjoyed evenings on the balcony. We also enjoyed the saltwater community pool! Will be back! ! Customer service was excellent! Always quick to respond and very friendly!

Rental location was perfect, 5-10 minute drive to the beach, fishing in the channel right off back door. Neighbors around condo were very nice. Loved the place and definitely coming back.

This rental was close to everything. We had a blast fishing from the little doc and spent every day at the beach that was just a few minutes away. The pool was great to have nearby too, very clean and private. Our only complaint was that the beds were very uncomfortable. We do plan on staying here again in the future, it was a great stay with the perfect location!

Upon arrival the Air conditioner didn't work and it was 91 degrees inside the rental. Maintenance couldn't fix the problem. The repair man they called couldn't fix the problem either. They brought 2 portable AC units and told us that would have to do. I called again and told them thematically unacceptable and they needed to move us. They found another unit where we could stay for 1 night but we needed to be out by 11am the following morning. We got back to our original rental and they new repairman said he got it fixed but it would take a while for the place to cool off. And it did, the following morning. The mattresses and pillows are worn out and the sheets and pillow cases were very itchy. The view was amazing and the place was pretty clean. But the communication from management on the broken AC was poor and they have yet to offer any refund for the 1st 2 miserable nights. Basically our 4 night vacation was cut by 2 days.
- Kellen M. from San Angelo, Posted: 08/18/2021
We apologize for the drawn out issue with the AC. We did discount your stay and gave you a substantial refund for the inconvenience. Thank you for the feedback.

After living on the island in the early 80s ,we returned for a lovely 68th birthday of my husband .the condo was perfect ,the island has grown without any negatives! several families we know still on the island ,it was just a tremendous weekend!
Thank you padre escapes for a perfect weekend, everything was seamless

Great location with beautiful views. Padre Island beaches only 5-10 minute drive. Views of canal and bay from balcony are great. Nice fishing spot for the kids just in front and on one side of condo. Only issue is no shade on the balcony so too hot and sunny to use during the heat of the day.
- Bill B. from Bandera, Posted: 07/02/2021
Perfect location! Right on the water!!
- Julie H. from Kailua, Posted: 06/09/2021
We loved the conndo! You don't need to worry about bringing everything with you. Walmart will deliver right to your door. There's a DG and CVS right down the street. It's perfect for our family with the bunk room. We spent many hours down at the dock fishing. The multiple balconies were a hit to just sit and watch for dolphins or enjoy a meal on. The family enjoyed the clean pool. It's location was close to the beach access. We are already planning on coming back next year!
- Mary S. from Woodburn, Posted: 05/23/2021
Thank you for the great feedback! We are glad to know you enjoyed your unit and all the awesome views it comes with. We look forward to hosting you.

We spent 3 nights at Buena vista, both kids and parents were happy and satisfied. rooms are good for 4 adults and 4 kids. nice bay view from room and patio. fishing right outside the door. swimming pool was clean during weekdays, a bit busier on weekend. two minutes drive to restaurants and shops. very quiet and clean environment. we will come back again.
by the way. we visited the horse on the beach and wild sea life center. both are recommended. will come back again to CC and use this property.

We loved the location, view, and the facilities. The rental was large, quiet and had everything needed for a nice vacation away. The on site pool was available but it wasn't very clean, not the fault of the condo owner, just an overall assessment of the whole package.
- Julie T. from HELOTES, Posted: 10/02/2020
Thank you for the feedback, the HOA is usually very good about keeping the pool clean and sparkling. With the overwhelming amount of stays this summer they where probably just a little behind, that's not a regular thing though. We'll keep an eye on it. Again, we appreciate your feedback.
- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:
Great view from the balconey/deck & loved the close proximity to the private pier. Adults could sit on deck and keep an eye on the kids while they fished. Found cleaning not up to par in some room. One of the bunk bed (top bed), found several strands of hair. Also rugs & some furniture were worn out. Outside was not cleaned. There were globs of ketchup or some food on the outside table & floor.
- Anonymous from Georgetown, Posted: 10/02/2020
We apologize for those disappointing finds, that is certainly not up to our normal standard and will be addressed with the housekeeping and property inspection teams ASAP. The owner will be in soon and we will work with them on getting any worn our furniture addressed, if needed. Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

We had a great time. The condo was VERY clean. Well-stocked. Only a few minutes drive to the beach. And we lived the lovely bay view. Will definitely stay here again. a++++
- Wayne S. from San Marcos, Posted: 07/17/2020
This second floor condo is a great find. It has a great deck and wonderful views. The place was updated and the interior has hardwood floor throughout. The kitchen has a variety of cookware to prepare meals. There are 3 separate decks. The condo was ready on time and extremely clean. It has a great stacked washer and dryer to wash your clothes from the beach. Close to HEB and places to eat. Also close to the beautiful Padre National Seashore. The staff was very helpful and responsive to our questions.

Our condo was in an excellent location with outstanding views. We had a view towards Laguna Madre, could watch the boats leaving the canal system, and see dolphins both in the distance and just below the balcony. We were close to the causeway to take us to the tourist attractions in Corpus but not close enough to hear the road noise. It was only a 10 minute ride to the Gulf Beaches. You could catch fish just behind the condo but we never caught any that were big enough to legally keep. The condo was clean and well stocked with dishes, etc. The only drawbacks were the bunk beds were not very comfortable for adults and the back bedroom was a little too warm.
- Bill B. from Bandera, Posted: 07/05/2020
We had a nice time. The front bed could benefit from black out shades because of pier lights across the canal. The place was very clean. The back bedroom was not cooling as well as the rest of the rental.
- Anonymous from Wills Point, Posted: 06/30/2020
This is some great feedback that we truly appreciate. We've already communicated with the owner and they will be adding some room darkening shades or curtains. Thank you again, hope we see you back again soon.

This is our second year staying here and it’s always a great time! Plenty of room, great location, and kids love fishing from the little dock. Will definitely be staying here again next year! The place was very clean and the ease of booking was great!
- Anonymous from Buda, Posted: 07/18/2019
We really enjoyed this condo and its location! We could fish right here each day and enjoy the beach...everything is so close. This condo has been remodeled and is very clean. The pool at the complex is a tad dirty but we spent more time at the beach, so it wasn't that big of a deal.
- DiDi R. from Salado, Posted: 07/15/2019
Wonderful location, clean property, and plenty of restaurants within a short drive. Padre Escapes is a top notch rental company that is very attentive to your stay while you are there.
- Russell T. from CANYON LAKE, Posted: 10/29/2018
Awesome place.....location was perfect, condo was sparkling clean, beds and pillows were comfy, kitchen was outfitted with everything you would need. Perfect balcony to relax with coffee in the morning and a cold beverage in the evening!
- LuLisa N. from Burnet, Posted: 09/12/2018
My husband and I, along with our daughter and son-in-law enjoyed the Labor Day weekend in this charming condo. The view from the balcony makes the stay absolutely amazing. Coffee in the morning and a refreshing beverage as the sun sets makes for great conversations and relaxation. We bought an umbrella at HEB to use during our visit and it made a huge difference in the time we could sit outside in the late summer. The condo is three bedrooms and two baths, but we felt it suited 4 adults perfectly. Don't count on grilling anything outside because of the wind and the grill is very small. Just enjoy the best view in the complex. Finally, the road getting into the property has very serious pot holes so if you go at night be mindful.
- Diana H. from San Antonio, Posted: 09/05/2018

- Rachel E. from San Antonio , Posted: 05/23/2018
Delightful 3 bedroom. Very clean and new. Loved evenings on the balcony watching the birds. Seagulls were aggressive in the morning, but disappeared after sunset. Great location, couldn't hear any traffic noise, close to what we wanted but felt secluded. Would definitely stay again.
- Tom B. from Naremburn, Posted: 05/16/2018
We traveled here for long weekend with the kids and another family. Perfect size for 8 people. Had everything we needed to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Excellent and very relaxing
- Melissa P. from Laredo , Posted: 10/17/2017
The place was great. There was issues with the main toilet it was clogged we had to use a plunger several times. Also the ice maker wasn't working on the fridge. We did receive soap for the dishwasher but you also need a rinse agent for the dishwasher to work, we had to buy this. Overall, the place is beautiful and well kept. I called the management company and ended up staying an extra night. I also called about the toilet and we always received great customer service.
- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 08/02/2017
