Pathway to the Sea C201

We loved the place and how close it is to the beach.

Easy walk to beach and sea wall. I was surprised by the condition of the exterior, but being so close to the beach probably caused some exterior rust. Interior was a little cramped for four people, Huge bathroom created smaller bedroom and living room. Would have been nice to know about the extra AC unit in master, and beach toys in living room closet. No building numbers visible (A,B,C..) and we did not know the unit was on the second floor. Porch was nice. Padre escapes does offer some nicer stays, even the older duplexes on the island, at a lower cost.

Thank you, Trevor! You are absolutely right about that pesky beach air and the effect it has on our units so close to the beach. We do have the floor locations listed in the property's description online, but if you ever have any questions prior to arriving you can always give us a call and we can assist the best we can! - Thank you, Padre Escapes

Overall the unit was nice. The decorations and furnishings were a cut above, and it was probably one of the cleaner units we have rented anywhere in the country. Normally we end up doing a lot of our own additional cleaning when when we check in, but did not need to do anything significant with this unit. I was not around during the day, but my wife was and noted a lot of road noise during the day, but thankfully it settled down at night. The two maintenance items we noted: 1) The efforts on the door to the balcony were high to unlock and lock 2) The garbage disposal pretty violently ejects drain water when it is turned on...this required a couple of cleanups of the counters and floor. Overall, we liked the unit and would stay again.

Thank you for your review and feedback, Thomas! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the well-appointed rental and enjoyed your stay overall. We sincerely apologize about the temperament of the garbage disposal! We only wish we would've had the opportunity to address this during your stay, as we have many helpful teammates on staff to address anything needed. We have since notified our maintenance department and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are happy to welcome you back anytime and we hope to see you again soon! Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Overall it was a decent stay. I would rate it 6 out of 10. Upon arriving, it was difficult to find 201 as there are no visible unit numbers, they are only on the doors, and it was not any where near enough to the gulf to ‘hear the waves’ as advertised, you couldn’t even see the beach unless you went to the edge of the balcony and looked around to the other side. The view is of an intersection and many bodies of water that the tide brings in and the canals further west.
The floors could have been cleaner, the dishwasher is at an angle and it appears no one has ever cleaned the floor on either side on it. It should have been sealed off when the place was built but it was not. The areas under the beds and other furniture were also not cleaned, there was a sock left behind from someone else. The kitchen sink disposal side smelled so bad, absolutely disgusting. We had the clean it in order to use the sink. Both bathroom sinks were not draining hardly at all by day two. The bathroom door would not stay closed, used the small waste basket to put in front of it to keep it closed. There were not enough paper towels.
On the day before we left we noticed an exterminator servicing the condo across from 201. The next morning as I was making a cup of coffee a roach was crawling across the countertop and then onto the Keurig. Needless to say that cup of coffee was tossed and I was quite grossed out that I just wanted to leave.
The location is not bad, I just don’t think it should be advertised as such that you can hear the ocean. You cannot, can’t even really see it let alone hear it. You can hear and see all the traffic, from the many many golf carts to the pickup trucks with trailers in tow. At night though it was quiet for the most part, an exception to waking up around 3 a.m. to someone knocking on the wall somewhere the 2nd night.
This place is furnished nicely, the beds comfortable. Take care of the c

Thank you for the feedback, housekeeping is a tough job and we all make mistakes from time to time. Usually our inspectors catch this type of issue, unfortunately they must?ve missed it this time. We will address it with the individuals and make sure it is better going forward. We do not advertise this condo as ocean front although this complex is .2 miles to Whitecap Beach. We are happy to address any cleaning or maintenance issues during your stay. We are able to take your calls, reply to text messages and even have on call staff available for emergencies after hours. It is terrible we were notified sooner of these issues. We would have loved the opportunity to improve your stay with us. A small starter supply of the following items is provided as a convenience until you have time to shop: a sponge, bath soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and make-up remover wipes. We do not replenish during your stay. We will look into these areas where we did not meet expectations.

Super clean, great area, walking distance to the beach and eating places. Had a question about the tv and it was quickly answered through text. We will definitely try to stay here again. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Pathway by the Sea. The condo was very clean, in a great location, and was perfect for our family of 4! The management company provided excellent & prompt customer service, and we were very happy with our stay. The only minor complaint was that one day the pool was not usable for several hours for cleaning. It was a Saturday in the middle of the day & very hot. Our kids were super disappointed & there wasn’t much else to do in the middle of the day. Maybe the pool maintenance could be done early morning? (Again, minor issue, but maybe something to consider?)

Good spot, well laid out, one of the few locations with fire sprinklers, which you should care about, many other properties are ticking match boxes.
