Pathway to the Sea C104

We rented this condo for a month. It's in a great location and a nice complex with a pool and barbecue area. This unit was a little spartan - no TV in the bedroom, no dressers for clothes in either bedroom, few serving dishes. IF you really had 8 people for a long stay I would look for a nicer unit. It was fine for the two of us with occasional visits from family. The long tern rate in the fall was a definite plus. Padre Escapes is great and fixed our minor maintenance issues right away.

Cons:
-When we walked in we were hit with a terrible smell of mold/mildew. It was so bad that the kids had a coughing fit at bedtime and the allergy sufferer had a flare-up and couldn't breathe. He almost slept on the patio and slept with an N95 mask. The smell was mostly gone by the third night.
-This place was filthy. The floors and showers hadn't been cleaned. I purchased a Swiffer and used an entire package of pads. The kitchen area alone came up black and muddy. The dishes had smudges on them. The drawers were filthy. There were crumbs in the silverware tray. We ended up spending our first night deep cleaning the entire condo.
-The kitchen was terribly equipped and disorganized. And filthy. Get a new set of pots and pans. Also, no room to put groceries.

Pros:
-The location is fantastic and close to the beach. We had a blast!
-Booking, check-in, and check-out are very easy.
-The appliances were nice and worked well.
-Sheets, beds, and towels were clean.
-The grounds are well kept and rest of facilities are nice.

This is a great location. Within walking distance to Whitecap Beach. Has a great pool and outdoor area too. I wish my unit had blackout curtains to keep the street light out of the windows but other than that everything was great. The management company is very helpful and take care of everything. You will love this location.

This property was very conveniently located, immaculately clean, nicely appointed. Convenient walk or drive to the beach. Property manager was extremely responsive and communication was the best I've seen in 20 years of renting vacation properties.

Thank you for the kind feedback!

The home was very clean, comfortable, updated appliances, a home away from home feel. At the most, a one minute walk to the beach or drive onto beach. There's a grill and seating area that's very spacious and good place to eat and talk. Definitely will stay again, we're already looking for new dates!

This home is beautiful, spacious and is in a great location. The kitchen was stocked and we everything we needed for our family trip. The pool was nice and the walk to the beach took a few short minutes. We will be renting this condo again!!

- Monica R. from Marble Falls, Posted: 10/04/2020

The bathroom in the Master has mold on the ceiling which caused me and my husband to get sick from, other than that it was a nice experience.

- Samantha L. from Huntsville , Posted: 07/26/2020

Had a great time the first May 2020 weekend here, last minute deal and love it every much, we will be back. The management company responded within 20 minutes to a small issue and it was resolved right a way, Very impressed.

- Roger L. from New Braunfels, Posted: 05/21/2020

Beautiful condo. Very clean. The cleanest place we’ve ever rented. Perfect for our family of 8. Nice pool & common area. Very short walk to the beach!

- Joy C. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/12/2020

Thank you very much! Hope we see you back again soon!

Good location. Gotta get those baseboards and doors clean. Looks trashy

- Anonymous from Leander, Posted: 03/24/2020

We have stayed in this rental twice. First time it was brand new, this time it looked exactly the same. This property is our go to when coming to the beach. A short walk to the beach, nice pool and the location is prime.

- John Mireles M. from Austin, Posted: 08/03/2019

Hello, we had a wonderful stay at your location. Very roomy and comfortable. Loved the idea of a code for the entrance. However, a few things were unsatisfactory. Both bathrooms had the vents extremely dirt - they were caked with dust. One bathroom sink was clogged and one bathroom towel bar was broken. Also, we did not like just one TV - we wish each bedroom had a TV. And, the iron was leaking a lot of water. Thank you so much !

We leased two units at Pathway to the Sea and had an absolute wonderful time. The units were clean, new looking, close to the water. Padre Escapes did an excellent job of informing us about the local area and things to do, etc. we strongly recommend using them and staying at Pathway to the Sea!

- Peter H. from Bulverde, Posted: 07/02/2019

We had a wonderful time at Pathway to the Sea! The location is great; the beach is convenient and perfect for young children. We very much enjoyed the pavilion as a gathering place for our large group! Our only disappointment was the electrical problem with the pool that caused closure.

- Anonymous from College Station, Posted: 06/22/2019

Unfortunately issues happen from time to time. The pool will be back up and running shortly. Thank you for the feedback.

the people at padre escapes were very helpful with any concerns or problems. The unit was very nice with one problem it did not have any dressers when your staying for a month or more dressers are nice.

Condo was perfect & very close to the beach. Only thing that could have been better is if the bedrooms had TV’s. Otherwise perfect. Condonset set up was beautiful.

- Sonja R. from Oklahoma City, Posted: 01/01/2019

Just what we needed . Great place .

- MONICA C. from Austin, Posted: 10/30/2018

Very nice and clean place. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful pool and cabana area. Great location in North Padre, just a short walk to the beach. Very close to restaurants.

- Martha C. from Austin, Posted: 10/05/2018

It was awesome. The place is beautiful and so clean. Pool is great for any age and the beach is less than a block away!

- tara t. from Austin, Posted: 08/21/2018

This was our first time staying here and we plan to make this a yearly place for us to stay.

- Anonymous from Smithville, Posted: 08/16/2018

We loved the condo .our ac control when out and they were there within an hour to fix it, which was just batteries. The only thing we didnt like was the people above is let there kid start running around around 6:30 am so next time we will only get the very top floor lol. We will be back!!!

We spent 4 days here for my son's birthday, and the location to the beach was fantastic! Condo was in great condition and beautifully furnished. There was 7 of us comfortably staying there. The pool was also very nice and the pavillion for bbq was large. Great place for a family vacation.

- April B. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/26/2018

Muy cerca de la playa .

- MANUEL ALBERTO V. from SALTILLO, Posted: 07/26/2018

The condo was very clean and decorated very nicely. I would suggest the addition of a love seat to the living area and the one chair was uncomfortable. The couch was very comfortable though. We were unsure of the "path" to the beach since it was unfinished. We just walked down the street the first day. It is just a short walk to the public beach. Later, when we used the path which takes you to the Island House section of beach, we were attacked by mosquitoes so take your repellant! We really enjoyed the swimming pool. It was perfect for old and young alike. In the condo, we could hear the people upstairs walking but it sounded like they were stomping around as they were packing to leave. When the new guests upstairs arrived it was even worse. I've never heard anything so loud in a hotel or apartment. We also made use of the barbeque grill and tables on the patio by the pool. All in all, I would recommend this location to friends.

- Sandra C. from Gatesville, Posted: 07/14/2018

Thank you for your feedback, sometimes you get people who are heavy-footed and louder but we haven't heard any other complaints about it so hopefully it was just those guests. Thank you again for your feedback.

We had a great time. The pool was great for evening dips. There was an issue of overcrowding in the pavilion. With only one two burner grill in the pavilion it created a sort of traffic jam waiting on that grill in the evenings.The unit itself was a great size for my family of four.We had an abundance of room. Could have easily slept three more people. This is a new build so there were no issues with appliances. The bathrooms we're spacious both having duel vanities. We would definitely consider this a new favorite. We recommend this for small family getaways.

Had a great time! Very nice 2 BR with quick access to beach and pool.

Unit 104 that we stayed in is a ground floor unit on the back side of the building. It’s all new and has a modern beach vibe. The two bedrooms are a good size. Master bedroom as attached restroom with double sinks, toilet and walk in shower. It has a king size bed that was very firm. Second bedroom has a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. Living room has a sleeper sofa and on chair. Dining area has 4 chairs and a round table. Kitchen has microwave and stove with oven. The whole complex is new and still being finished. We had an ant problem in our unit and ended up getting some spray to fight back. Other minor issues the outside light is very bright near guest room making it hard to sleep, the beds are very firm, and the guest room really needs a fan or ceiling fan. The pathway to the beach is about 300 yards long and not barefoot friendly so bring some sandals.

The location is very good. The walk to the beach is just the right length to not be considered a long walk. There is a corner store nearby for basic groceries and stuff you need for a weekend. The pool is large and has shallow areas for kids.

All in all great place to stay and it will get better once all the construction is done. We will stay there again soon.

- Robert R. from Laredo, Posted: 06/19/2018

Thank you for the feedback. After speaking with you after your stay and receiving the same feedback we talked with the property owner and are currently working on getting black out curtains installed in the guest bedroom and adding an oscillating fan (due to the bunk beds a ceiling fan cannot be included). Pest control has been called out to treat the complex for ants as well. Thank you again for the feedback, we look forward to having you back soon.
