El Constante 103

Me and my husband stayed for two nights on a Babymoon. It was wonderful! We watched the sun rise, enjoyed being right on the beach, and loved the heated pool to relax in! The front desk gave us great recommendations for dinner. We ate one night at Docs, the food was amazing, Service was good, and the sunset view was spectacular! Our room was good, the bed not great, and there was a hole around the bathtub shower, but it had everything we needed. I would recommend getting a canopy or putting your car on the beach in front of you early in the morning so you have a front beach spot. Make sure you bring things like coffee filters and wine opener just in case. Over all I would highly recommend staying here and wish I was still there. Also, very family friendly.

I took my fiance to the coast for a birthday get away. We had a mix-up with another hotel and I called El Castante and within 5 mins we had an ocean front room. Sarah was so friendly and helpful and made everything right

Great place, loved the pool, condo needed a few minor repairs and a little updating

- Cynthia H. from Austin, Posted: 10/10/2020

This owner is working diligently to make regular improvements to the property. We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope we see you back here soon.

I was pleased with this unit. It was clean and had everything we needed. I would stay in this unit again.

- Rebecca M. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/21/2020

Quick get away to Corpus Christi

- Anonymous from Austin, Posted: 07/19/2020

I liked the place, specially the view. The problems I found was: 1) hottub was not working for a couple of days 2) my neighbor from room on top of mine had small kids that would make a lot of noise the whole day. I complained to front office and in person and it didn't help.

- Anonymous from AUSTIN, Posted: 07/06/2020

Everything was great. It was very nice and clean, and it had everything. Can’t wait to return next year.

- Rodney J. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/28/2020

This property was all about the location for us. We loved being ocean front, there’s never a bad day on the beach. We are accustomed to a king size bed, but the condo we rented only had a queen, but we made that sacrifice for the view. The living room furniture was not very comfortable, the fabric needs a good cleaning & you would be very disappointed if you had 2 adults sleeping on the sofa pull out bed. We had issues with the cable television, our entire stay (4 months) we had to constantly unplug to reset both cable boxes on a regular basis. The property management had the cable company do a service call & they changed a connection, but blamed the issues on the construction company doing renovations on the complex. The service rep said they had cut the main cable & repaired it, the service call didn’t resolve the problems, we just dealt with it our entire stay. The property was kept in great shape, the maintenance man did a good job. The property management reps were also good, very attentive to our needs. We would stay at this complex again.

Loved El Constante. The office staff was wonderful. Condo was clean and beautiful. Access to beach was so easy. Great place, great people.

- Sue A. from Alvarado, Posted: 09/29/2019

Very cozy and relaxing. Access to the beach was very convenient. Hospitality was out of the park, from the grounds keeper to the office staff. This was our second year and plan to return in 2020

- Susie T. from Three Rivers, Posted: 09/25/2019

We enjoyed our stay in 103. Especially sitting on porch and enjoying our view.
Thankyou

- Sharon M. from Stockdale, Posted: 09/14/2019

We really enjoyed our time at El Constante 103. The condo was immaculate and became the landing place for the remainder of my family who were in a condo upstairs. In addition, the pool was extremely nice and convenient. Our only complaint was the noise in the room from people walking up and down the stairs just outside the bedroom window. All in all, it was a wonderful family vacation.

- Ricky B. from SAN ANTONIO, Posted: 08/06/2019

Best vacation ever! The room has a Wonderful view of the ocean. The room had allot of sand on the floors and the comforter was stained & a little dirty but overall was very comfortable & clean.

- Roseann J. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/21/2019

I would recommend this condo to anyone who wants to airmailing on a porch and look at the beach. The inside was clean and welcoming, and was spacious enough for our young family. I would recommend brining your own pillows ours had an odor that was unpleasant, otherwise a nice stay and we would consider returning.

- Anonymous from college station, Posted: 07/15/2019

The location is excellent, it is located directly on the beach as well as being located close to restaurants and is within 20 minutes of Port Aransas. The grounds are well kept and the Condo 103 was very nicely decorated and had all the necessities that we needed. There was only one downside, the people up stairs were jumping up and down or throwing each other on the floor until 2AM in the morning every night. I am not sure if this is all of the condo's or this one but if you are a light sleeper you might want to consider staying somewhere else. If you don't mind all the noise or can sleep through noise then you should be good!

- Michael G. from Dallas, Posted: 07/08/2019

Good place to stay right on the beach
For the price I would like to see coffee in the rooms not just a coffee pot.
Outdoor grilling would be nice

- Lanny W. , Posted: 07/03/2019

Sheets were not clean and smelled bad. Water stains on ceiling cause possible mold. Bad for people with allergies. Great location and amenities.

- Anonymous from Corpus Christi, Posted: 06/30/2019

Sheets are replaced after every stay so they're shouldn't be any issues with them but we will certainly double check them and the water stains. Thank you for the feedback.

We've been staying at El Constante for years now and we absolutely love it!!

- Rosa P. from Del Valle, Posted: 06/26/2019

Loved our stay here! Staying right on the beach was perfect, we were able to wake up each morning and sit on the front porch and enjoy the ocean view and then hope down to the beach whenever we wanted. Definitely will return!

- Tiffany G. from Kyle, Posted: 06/18/2019

Glad you enjoyed. Come back and see us again soon.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 06/13/2019

Nice place. Great location. Would definitely stay there again. Only complaints were 1. Bed was uncomfortable-needs to be upgraded 2. When refrigerator compressor turns on, gives a loud humm. Frig needs to be repaired or replaced.

- Adam C. from Austin, Posted: 06/01/2019

We have stayed here several times and have never had a bad experience! Thanks for all you do to keep this property beautiful and clean!

- Terri W. from Austin, Posted: 05/29/2019

- Kevin V. from GLADSTONE, Posted: 03/27/2019

Except for the weather, our stay was great. We always stay in the same unit . It is clean. We love the view. The office help are always accommodating. The owner is extremely helpful.

we could not find a place in Port A this was the closed we could get, should have stayed home.

- David W. from Belton, Posted: 11/14/2018

Well we're certainly disappointed to hear that it did not meet your expectations. I do believe the weather was pretty cold and wet during your stay so I am sure that can put a damper on things. We hope you come back and try us another time. Thank you for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Our stay at El Constante was the perfect staycation spot.
The room had a clean inviting beach theme that put you in the mood to relax and enjoy your time spent there. The employees greeted us with warm and friendly smiles. They were very helpful in every way. We would definitely return and enjoy the spectacular view of the beach and accommodations.

- Diana M. from Corpus Christi, Posted: 11/10/2018

Overall an enjoyable stay. I still think the property management team has quite a bit of room for improvement though.

The good: Location, location, location. It cannot be beat. Easy check in. Pleasant staff. Most rooms have been upgraded to a certain degree.

Needs to improve: Light outside bedroom in pool area shines into bedroom ALL night. Need better curtains. For guests staying on second floor, there needs to be some sort of notice about stomping around. The kid above us was doing wind sprints for the better part of 2 hours starting at 0600. While rooms have been updated in some aspects, bathroom fixtures look the same as they did during my stays in the 90’s. Shower head had no pressure.

- Anonymous from Lillian, Posted: 11/04/2018

We've rented at this location before but in an other unit. We found the unit clean, the staff was helpful and the location was good with views of the Gulf and beach. The main complaint is that the bed and bedding were subpar as were the towels. Would rent from El Constante again but not unit 103.

- Anonymous from Alpine, Posted: 10/15/2018

Loved the condo! Enjoyed the beach view! Beautiful property! Just wish they had not locked us out while we were getting our belongings out Just inconvenient!!Said the timers were not right!!

- Connie H. from Boerne, Posted: 10/11/2018

Thank you for the feedback. Your door code does shut off at check-out time sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Good size condo for 2 people. Views and distance to the beach, could not be matched. With construction in the pool area, it was a bit messy, but staff did their best to keep it up. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. The mildew, mold smell was extremely strong. Made the condo feel not quite clean.
LWondering why the overhead fans are not left on? When we owned in Port A we were required to keep the fans on 24/7. Need at least one cookie sheet, and maybe a tray, pitcher for drinks? Major issue discovered the last day was dishwasher was not secured to the cabinet or floor. When I pulled out the filled top rack, the whole dishwasher fell forward. I reported this to the office. A small child could be greatly injured.
Staff very accommodating, friendly. Love the free beach towels.

- Jane D. from columbus, Posted: 10/11/2018

Thank you very much for your feedback. We apologize for these issues and we'll check into them and get them addressed if needed.

We loved the view from this vacation rental! Our condo was clean, yet a little outdated. Could use a new microwave because our microwave was rusted on the inside. We loved that this condo is located directly in front of the beach. You can't beat the view. The pool was also really great! We saw them cleaning the pool every morning. We loved the facilities!

- Alicia G. from Louisville, Posted: 09/11/2018

The rentals here are amazing. We won’t stay anywhere else

- Mary B. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/29/2018

Best time ever

- Christopher J. from Auburn, Posted: 07/14/2018

Our families have been getting together at El Constante for many years. We like the location and have always enjoyed our stay. This was my first time in 103. Blue is my favorite color, so I liked the decor. The condo was clean & staff courteous. See you next year.

- Walter G. from Lake Jackson, Posted: 07/09/2018

There was no hot water in the kitchen sink.
The dishwasher was falling out of the cabinet.
The refrigerator made very loud noise when the compressor turned on probably because it was old.
The bright outside lights made it difficult to sleep in both rooms.

- Robert J. from Austin, Posted: 07/03/2018

We apologize for these inconveniences. This is the first we've heard of these type of complaints but we will certainly check on them and address them if needed. Thank you for your feedback.

We've stayed at this property multiple times over the last 10 years and we are always pleased with our stay. We were impressed with the improvements that were made to the units. The kitchen in this particular unit (103) was new and nice. Steps from the beach and perfect location. The pool is fantastic too. Highly recommend!

I've never been to South Padre--I had always spent childhood stays in North Padre so continued the tradition--but I've heard it said that if you aren't sure where you'd like to spend your vacation, North Padre tends to be quieter and more affordable. We went just before peak season began--something that was risky given weather was just starting to warm up--but we were pleased overall with how that turned out. Going off-season helped us to be able to maximize our time there. We loved our beach front condo at El Constante. It was cozy, well-kept, well-stocked, and even some of the materials which Padre Escapes said El Constante might not replenish, such as towels or bedding, the management said they could do so as needed without us even asking. Having a kitchenette helped us save because we could eat in most of the time, and while the kitchenware was VERY basic, it served well. The WiFi was fine as long as there weren't high winds, and we had no issues with the fridge or AC. The bed wasn't the most comfortable ever, but it still did just fine. Convenience--the laundry room is open at all times and contains multiple washers/dryers. We brought our own quarters, but the office also said you can make change with them to get quarters if you run out. Bring your own laundry soap; we did a small packet of tide pods to keep things cleaner and more portable. The hot tub definitely seemed not to be heating properly, which was a tad disconcerting on the first night when it was in the 50s. No matter--we were there to spend most of our time in or near the ocean. The office also closes somewhat early; if you have a long drive, either leave early in the morning or split your commute over two days to get there in time. The staff were perhaps less than friendly at times over the phone when calling to confirm reservation details, but in person, they were stellar. They gave helpful and accurate information in a prompt manner and made sure we knew they'd be there if we needed anything.

- Melissa F. from Plano, Posted: 05/11/2018

Well decorated. It appears to be freshly remodeled. Beautiful view out the front windows We really enjoyes sitting on the front porch evening/night. Just like being on the beach but just a lot more comfy.

- Anonymous from Cuero, Posted: 04/28/2018

First time staying here and loved it. We were in unit #103 and it was very clean, decorated nice and the location/view is amazing. Walk out your front door and you are only steps to the boardwalk and then the beach. The complex is undergoing a big facelift and will look great when it is done!

- Kevin V. from GLADSTONE, Posted: 03/24/2018

We were very pleased with our unit. The owner provided excellent customer service. We loved being right on the beach.

I was very pleased with the location and general condition of the property. I do think they should be aware that the coffee pot in my room had leaking issues and should be replaced. That was a minor inconvenience during an otherwise lovely stay!

- Lisa D. from Smithville, Posted: 01/02/2018

Our unit was beach front on the first floor and the beach was not crowded and clean (October). The furnishings were not fancy, but they were neat and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. The exterior of the property could use a freshening up and an overall updating.
Our primary issue with the rental was that the internet did not work. We could connect for a few seconds and that was it. I would recommend this place if you do not need to access the internet while you are there.

- John J. from Fort Worth, Posted: 11/07/2017

Nice room and view. A little bit expensive but not outrageous compared to other places in the area. The room itself was cozy & cute but bit dated, however they are in the process of remodeling the outside (not sure if they are going to remodel in inside - it could use it). No washer and dryer in the room as implied. Oven door handle broke off and my wife burned herself while cooking (freak accident i guess). And there was no can opener even after I called in advance to make sure there was one so we didn't take ours. They did have one in the office i used. Also washer and dryer available (coin-op) near office as well. Overall we had a great time and would go again.
