The beach view was great! Awesome sunrise from the patios! Kiddos loved the pool. We really enjoyed our stay but, remodeling going on next to us. Nailers and load music while working which lucky they didn’t work early or long hours. The kitchen and living room/dining area had a terrible mildew smell.

Awesome time enjoyed the beach front condo location and walking distance to the beach. The facility grounds are well kept and condo was in great shape. This was our fifth time vacationing at this property.

Super easy check-in and check-out process. Be sure to confirm your rental location on the property. While we did get the gulf view, we thought we were getting a 1st-floor walkout. Lots of stairs and no elevators. The only other inconvenience was there were no sheets for the sleeper bed and glad I brought my own paper coffee filters and Dawn for dishes. Could not locate either in the unit. Otherwise, a great place and experience.

The bed upstairs that is listed as a "queen" is as hard as sleeping on the floor. I was tempted to go purchase a topper. I wouldn't have stayed another night due to that bed. It also seems small. We sleep on a queen at home and feel like we have more room but the real issue was how very hard the mattress was. The twins were very squeaky my children said. For the price, the bedding should be resort comfortable and it was not. Also, the door that is locked by the kitchen needs to be painted. just aesthetics of when you walk in. We also had nothing to clean with after cooking. A small bottle of something to clean the stove off with would have been nice.

- Shannon H. , Posted: 03/20/2023

Thank you for your review and feedback! We are sorry to hear that you didn't find the mattress comfortable. Mattress comfort is a diverse subject, as each person might prefer a different level of firmness. We will let our maintenance team know about the door as well. We certainly welcome you back and thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Staff were always attentive to our needs.
In November there seems to be numerous updating projects and we were kept well informed about it.
Some of the furniture could be updated and more comfortable.

It was a pretty nice stay. A couple of things. MBTH toilet paper holder is wobbly. Downstairs hat tree had a busted leg, but worked by leaning against wall. Towel rack in 2nd bath could not be used.

Wonderful condo. Clean. Quiet. Padre Escapes was very accommodating when our initial condo rental was canceled due to needed repairs.

Great location. Beds were worst ever, actually painful. $500 a night for a rental where the air conditioning doesn’t work in the bedrooms is ridiculous. Management company response is “yeah, it’s hot”

Thank you for your feedback, Adam. We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the comfort of the bed. We do strive to please each guest, but bed comfort varies widely with each individual's taste for firmness and/or softness. We are sorry to hear you had trouble with the A/C, as we do not show a reported issue with this during your stay. We would love the opportunity to host you again and thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Our stay at this condo complex was exceptional!! The unit was great, the grounds were well taken care of and the staff was awesome!! We'd like to give a special nod to James in the office and James the ground keeper! Job well done guys! A recliner would have been nice instead of a wicker chair to sit in.

Our experience and time spent at El Constante 203 was really positive, nice, and fun!! The complex offers everything and location is perfect. The condo is nicely decorated and comfortable. Will return here again I hope!! One of our favorites now. The views of beach are awesome!! Wish the owners would have the tall balcony chairs/table that 209 has, then that would be perfect!! ♡♡

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay as providing a great vacation for our guests is our number one goal. Thank you for the awesome review!

This place was recommended to me by friends of mine who now live on the island. The view and the location could not be beat. There are plenty of restaurants such as Scuttlebutt's and Docs, golf carts to rent and things to do. Scuttlebutt's has a great happy hour menu with 1/2 price crabs from 3-7. We ate there twice.

I got up at 4:30AM and sat on the balcony to watch the sunrise and enjoy the roaring ocean, wind blowing my hair and face and people watch as they drove in to watch the sun rise too. The view was just as the picture showed. With a view like this, you know there is a wonderful, miraculous God. Totally priceless.

The condo was immaculate. The staff was very nice and professional and easy to work with.

I would have loved to have given this condo 5 stars all the way across the board. However, while the condo is nicely decorated,very clean and can sleep 6 people, it only sat 3 of the 6 comfortably on the couch. The remaining 3 people had to sit on hard dining room chairs or a too small rattan one. It made it difficult for everyone to relax and get comfortable at night or during down time if you were not able to sit on the couch. Adding comfortable seating to hold all 6 people allowed would resolve this issue. It would also be helpful to have at least 2 towels and 2 wash cloths per person instead of 1 each if staying more than 1 night. Especially wash cloths. The mattresses are also somewhat lumpy and uncomfortable. Adding a simple topper would help to resolve this. Therefore, I gave the quality of the furniture a 3.

Overall, this is a beautiful place and location, with beautiful views that I would visit again. To make it more relaxing and restful, I would just make sure I brought chair cushions or a comfortable lawn chair next time if these simple changes have not been made. However, based on the excellent care, I believe Padre Escapes will make these simple changes to make it a total paradise. See you aga

The rental experience was completely awesome and everything was perfect for me and my family. However if I had to Nick pick on something it would be that maybe you guys can put a standing fan upstairs because it doesn’t get cool upstairs but other than that it was absolutely perfect!!!! We can’t wait to come back and have some fun again.

This is the first time that the condo was MUCH BETTER than the pictures. We had to be the first to rent the condo following the extensive renovation. From the new flooring, kitchen appliances and bathrooms, to all of the new linens, the condo lived up to the wonderful ocean front views from the master bedroom and the living room. My only suggestion would be to replace tub/showers or at least the fixtures as the old fixtures are very noticeable.

We enjoyed our 5 days in the condo and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for an oceanfront condo that has all of the amenities.

Overall great experience. The unit was a little run down, but clean. Was impressed with your app in keeping us informed, except when it really mattered -- giving me notice that the unit was ready. I had to call (after it was already after 4:00 pm and I hadn't heard from anyone!) Come to find out my unit had been ready for hours. Would have liked to have known that.

- Anonymous from La Vernia, Posted: 07/27/2020

This unit is very dated, floors pealing off, refrigerator looks like it had been sitting on the beach for 10 years - all rusted, carpets were gross. I'm not sure how else to describe a gross, old, grungy unit. Whomeer owns unit 203 should rent it for $10.00/night because that's what it's worth. I am so GLAD I took my own disinfectants, sheets, towels, pillows, blankets because the condition of this unit made us feel uncomfortable - we did complain on the first day.

- Rebecca M. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/25/2020

disgusting disgusting disgusting
Absolutely disgusting unit. I am angry that this unit is being allowed to be rented out. I have my pregnant wife and my 1 year old daughter in this seedy unit and it has completely ruined my trip and am disappointed that I have subjected them to this. Odd stains on the walls, dirty carpet, torn flooring, holes on the doors, dirty smelling unit. This condo feels like you can catch a disease by just being in the unit and I am not talking about Corona. I am not a snob by any means, but believe me when I say this unit feels like I’m in a 1 star hostel in a third world country that charges you by the hour. We are not letting my daughter touch anything and sanitize her hands every time she does. I would gladly have left to stay somewhere else but I could not because it being Memorial weekend, all our options were sold out by this point. Let me be clear, I am certain the cleaning staff did their best to spruce this unit up and this review is not a reflection on them. I feel like I just got sucker punched by management for allowing me to rent this unit and that is a poor reflection on them.

- Chris L from Austin, Posted: 05/24/2020

This property is in poor shape. We've asked the owner to make improvements but haven't got any cooperation. We did discount your stay the cost of one night's rent and we offered you a full refund if you decided to leave, you chose not to. We apologize for the disappointing property but we can't allow you to stay in the property for free all weekend like you were requesting. 

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted: 05/24/2020

First off, we arrived around 2pm, which we always do. We checked in, but were told that the room was being inspected so they would text us when it was available. It was 4pm and we had not received a text, we went to the office and they gave us our code. The condo was filthy. Walls, couch, floors, the bedrooms upstairs stunk. We had to close one of the bedrooms off and not use it. It was not a good visit, so we cancelled our July visit.

A GOOD GROUP OF WINTER TEXANS. ONE MINUTE WALK TO THE POOL. ONE MINUTE WALK TO THE BEACH.EXTERNAL FACILITIES ARE WELL MAINTAINED.

- Kenneth & Laurel H. from Avon Lake, Posted: 03/23/2020

Overall, we had a good vacation. We rented the unit for the month of October. Great ocean view. Can’t say that the rental unit was though. It’s just worn out. For the money, I think the owner needs to put some of back for new stove and frig. The flooring is terrible. We’ve stayed at El Constante for years but no upgrades in most units. The side of the frig is covered with rust . Fan in dining room is very noisy. We’re not Ricky but if it was my unit, I’d never rent it in its condition.

We have stayed here several times and have always loved it!! Great location and right on the beach!!! It is a great place!!

- Terri W. from Austin, Posted: 06/11/2019

This place did not feel clean. I believe because the floors are not inviting. Refrigerator rusted on the outside. Two microwaves, one above stove does not work (Remove it!!) and the location of the spare takes up cabinet space. The inside needs painting. This place is crying for a redo...

The only complaint were the beds in the second bedroom (not master). The bedroom was decorated for kids and the twin beds were horrible. One made a noise every time you moved. Both mattresses were very thin which would be ok for kids but not adults. One dining room chair was ready to collapse so we put it aside so no one would sit on it.

good experience. I have been here 6 years as a Winter Texan, but have never seen the grounds so dirty: papers, butts, plastics, weeds, dirt. A regular maintenance person needs to be on site. The furniture in 203 is shabby and the cabinets are disintegrating. The floor has holes. The toilet seat is disgusting.

- Kenneth & Laurel H. from Avon Lake, Posted: 03/30/2019

That's odd, we've actually received compliments on how well the grounds were looking lately. The interior of 203 does need some work, we are currently working with the owner to improve it.

The best view of the surf on the island. The weather was horrible but we still enjoyed watching the waves and birds from the sliding glass doors in the upstairs bedroom the living room downstairs.

The Boathouse restaurant up the street had great hamburgers and a view of the water. One morning we drove to Rockport to visit the Maritime Museum and had lunch at Charlotte Plummers - great view of the bay and excellent, reasonably priced seafood.

The management at the condos was very helpful and friendly.

We stayed in 203. This condo needs major updating. Carpet stained throughout. Bathroom fixtures falling apart.Floors in bathrooms bubbling up from water damage. Freezer smells like fish. Beds were so,so. Employees were fantastic and very helpful. We had an issue with stove not working and they fixed it quick. All that said, the location is fantastic.Pool and hot tub were ok, dated but functional. If you want nice, look elsewhere. You want location, this is it.

Wonderful location. Steps from the beach. Nothing fancy but works for a low key weekend. Staff are very friendly and professional.

- Chelsea M. from NA, Posted: 09/18/2018

This was the third year we have gone to the
coast for a family vacation. Me, my daughter,
son-in-law, and grandson. During the week, at
different times, my 4 other granddaughters came
to spend the day. Our vacation "house" was
exactly as described to us...pool view from one
of the bedrooms, and gulf view from the living
area and master bedroom. The rooms needed some
updating, but, everything was clean and in
working condition. The customer service could
not have been better. The entire staff from
pool person to desk person were helpful and
always in a good mood with a friendly face.
We went into Port A to eat at Moby ****'s,
to the Candy Shop and visit all the gift shops.
Mostly we enjoyed the sun, sand, shells, sea
gulls, kites, and other beach people. We will
be back next year to reconnect with ourselves
and slow down for a few days.
