Pathway to the Sea T828

the place was awsome. great location to the beach and pool. very clean. rental agents were very helpful. there were 3 things that need a look at though. there was water leaking from the kitchen light fixture twice. not sure why. smoke alarms kept going off on the lower level behind the garage for no apparent reason. and the ceiling fan in the 3rd floor bedroom on the right was very noisy.

This was our 4th time renting this beach condo and it was fabulous as always! Bonus they upgraded the pots and pans in the kitchen.
We love the location to the beach, souvenir shops and our favorite Island Burger Co.

Born and raised in Texas, and long time Beach goer. This location is amazing. You look out your balcony and see the beach. It's a close enough walk, but better for a large family to load up and drive. The house was large enough for our 6 adults and 4 kiddo family, as well as had a nice pool to relax in. Our complaints are purely with the state of the house. It was very dirty and smelled of mold or moisture. I would expect this for a cheap rental, but paying over 2k for 3 nights and finding the house in this state was shocking to say the least. The showers were the worst, and appeared to be neglected for months with the amount of mold and orange scum throughout. We had issues with the check in process as well. We were given the wrong code and like other reviewers have stated, they were late letting us check in due to house keeping. Not sure what house keeping actually cleaned before we arrived. Will definitely not be staying here again.

Alonzo, we greatly appreciate your feedback and are happy that you enjoyed the ample space on property. We are truly sorry about the issues you experienced during your stay and wish we'd had the opportunity to address them during your stay, as we have many team members available to assist. I have since notified the appropriate department of your concerns and they will be addressed promptly. We do apologize about the delay in check-in; it looks like there was a last-minute repair needed in the unit and we needed to address this prior to entry. We hope to see you again in the future and we thank you for booking with Padre Escapes.

Enjoyed this condo and location. It is nice to be able to walk to the beach. The closest beach area is blocked off from vehicle access on both sides which I really liked. The pool was clean and nice. There were a few chairs and boogie boards in the garage which was very helpful. The management was friendly and helpful.

We loved this condo and the location to the beach. The heated pool is an awesome bonus also. Overall the condo was very clean and comfortable. The only two complaints in that department are that the grey chair in the living room is extremely stained and dirty and the dryer doesnt work very well. Thanks for a great stay Padre Escapes/Parhway to the sea!

We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your unit and awesome pool! I will relay mentioned items to the appropriate departments so we can get it taken care of! It was a true pleasure hosting you Padre Escapes style and we are excited for your next visit!

This unit is beautiful. This was our 1st time renting a Condo and I must say my family and I were not disappointed. This unit was very roomy for my huge family. As a mother who still has to feed everyone even though we're on vacation, I was definitely happy with the kitchen. Everyone loved the 3 minute walk to the beach. Definitely looking forward to renting this unit again.

The location and space of this townhouse is perfect. And we really enjoy our time there. While the management should be improved, as we arrived at 4 and they let us wait and check in 30 min late, also, the house was not cleaned throughly, for example the tables were dusty, and the smell of the house was not good. And also the conditioner of the king bed room was not working well, and it is hotter compared to other rooms. Highly recommend bring your own bedding staff, the pillows are not clean. These are my suggestions. Overall, we are satisfied and will recommend to friends.

Padre Escapes strives to check in all guest on time, however, depending on the amount of check ins we are unable to accomplish that goal, despite our efforts. We do apologize about the cleaning issues mentioned, please note in the future to report it so we may address them during your stay. I will relay your feedback to the appropriate teams so we can make your next visit better and up to our typical standards.

The location was amazing, and the AC unit kept the place cool. But that was it.

The cleaning crew did a poor job of preparing the unit for us. The showers/sinks were dirty, the walls/furniture/appliances/etc looked very worn, and there was even a full bucket of bait left on the porch which smelled.

We were also surprised at this state given that we were not allowed to check in until 45 mins after 4pm because it "took so long to clean the unit."

Everything was cheap from the mattresses, to the paper towels/toilet paper, soap, linens, and the silverware/kitchen supplies. Every one of the mattresses also sagged and were extremely uncomfortable to sleep on.

We've stayed at other rentals in the area before, and have not experienced this quality of items.

The pool was nice, but is in full sun and not as close to the covered seating area as it seems in the pictures. We would have enjoyed it more, but it was actually closed for most of our trip due to an electrical malfunction that didn't get resolved until the day before we left.

Overall, I would say we made it work, and if the price was better I wouldn't be so critical. But we paid good money to stay at what we thought was a newer complex. This place needs to have a deep clean, and the items on the inside replaced/upgraded.

The location is fantastic, and we love staying on the Island in Corpus Christi for our annual beach trip.

This was our third year staying at Pathway to the Sea and second time staying in this unit. We love staying in this condo for the location to the beach and access to the garage.
Will definitely book again for next year!

First time staying at this condo. Great experience! The family really enjoyed staying at this very nice condo. We were close to the beach and was able to see the ocean from the desks. We had plenty of room and the condo was very clean. We will stay there again in the future!

- Darlene B. from Elm Mott, Posted: 07/04/2021

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed the unit and the close proximity to the beach! We will see you soon!

We can't wait to book this property again! Multiple balconies for everyone to enjoy the salty air. Very roomy kitchen and living space. A very short walk to the beach and just down the street from the golf cart rentals. The property was very up to date and could not have asked for anything better. Thank you Padre Escapes for the great customer service.

My family had a wonderful stay. The entire place was super clean. All the rooms were spacious. The location was convenient.

- Jessica V. from San antonio, Posted: 07/17/2020

Spent 4 days at this beautiful place. 6 adults, 2 teens, and 2 toddlers. This 4 bedroom/3.5 bath fit the bill. Sparkling clean, easy to access, walking path to the beach. Loved the pool.

- Anonymous from Elgin, Posted: 06/26/2020

Amazing. So close to the beach. The place was clean and very beautiful. Easy check in and out process. We will definitely be staying here again.

- Austin M. from Schertz, Posted: 05/13/2020

Great time for extended weekend. Very clean. Little pricey for cleaning fee but little to no requirements when leaving property (no stripping beds, no sweeping, just bagging trash). Very happy with the family get together

- Mike M. from NA, Posted: 05/08/2020

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and we like to make things easy for our guests. Hope we see you back again soon.

This is the ideal place to stay if you are visiting Corpus and planning to go to the beach. Condos was clean,spacious, very up to date being fairly new and walking distance to beach.

- Anonymous from San Antonio , Posted: 03/02/2020

The management company was very nice. There was a shutter missing in the master bedroom, which seemed odd, and we ended up contacting the management company. They were not able to provide the missing shutter during our stay, but it was a holiday weekend. The rental was very clean and very spacious. Be sure to read what is provided and what is is very accurate.

- Heather R. , Posted: 01/06/2020

Overall is was a great place to stay, close to beach, plenty of space for everyone and a large gathering place to visit. The washer & dryer were in poor working condition and the back door needs work to latch properly.

- Anonymous from Lincoln, Posted: 12/02/2019

Thank you for the feedback. This is the first we've heard of these two issues. We will be sure to communicate them with the owner and get them addressed as soon as possible. Thank you again for the feedback.

We had a great time with our immediate family. The beach was visible from the balcony. It was great. There was a funny smell. Maybe we are just not used to the ocean air and moisture. Overall, we loved it!

- Kevin M. from Vernal, Posted: 10/21/2019

The rental was clean and nice. Had a couple things that were wrong, but fixable. Some things that would help would be dishsoap holders in all bathrooms, window covering in the two sunburst windows upstairs, and a shampoo holder/shelf in the downstairs shower. The place worked well for all 9 of us. Close to the beach, we walked almost everyday, quiet and still close to all the restaurants.

- Anonymous from Houston, Posted: 10/12/2019

The rental was the perfect size for our family. Room for everyone. It was walking distance to the beach with a pool available as well. It was one of the best trips of my life.

- Shelley A. from Cozad, Posted: 10/03/2019

Spent a week with our two adult children to visit family and spend some time at the beach. 4 bedrooms, one with a bathroom on the bottom floor next to the two car garage. Second floor has the living area with kitchen, living room with large TV and dinning area with a restroom. Balconies on both sides of the living area that have gulf views. Third floor has three bedrooms a master with it's own bathroom and balcony that has a gulf view and two others with a shared bathroom. One bedroom has a bunk bed. Very clean, large washer and dryer, nice counter for breakfast and an 8 person dinning table. 2-3minute walk to the beach via path behind the complex can hear the waves at night from the balconies. Visited with family, spent some time at the beach, drove down the National Seashore coast on the sand, spent a day at the Wave resort water park, great Jazz brunch on Sundays. A nice german bakery within walking distance, some nice restaurants on the island. Some stairs to get to the living area and 3rd floor bedrooms. Would stay again.

- Gary J. from San Diego, Posted: 08/31/2019

So close to the beach and fit our three families so we could all stay together. Very roomy & super clean.

- Angela N. from Spring Branch, Posted: 08/13/2019

We had our family reunion at this condo and it was the perfect place! We had plenty of room and everything we needed was in this condo. The beach was walking distance and we enjoyed the swimming pool too. I would highly recommend this place for a large family to stay in, no complaints whatsoever!!

- Norma W. from Corpus Christi, Posted: 07/17/2019

Thank you very much for the feedback. This is a great place to stay, hope we see you back again soon.

GREAT time had by our entire party!
The house was wonderful and met all expectations. Was what was advertised and fit our needs beautifully.

- Anonymous from Towanda, Posted: 05/29/2019

We loved this unit! All the conveniences were met for 10 people to stay with plenty of space. We enjoyed the 3 balconies where we could see the beach and hear the waves. Such a short walk to the beach. Well equipped kitchen, ROKU TV and all the great tv channels. Comfortable furniture, beds and linens. Wonderful decor makes it easy to relax.

- Rachel A. from Waxahachie, Posted: 04/27/2019

Clean, close to the beach

- Timothy G. from Ropesville, Posted: 03/27/2019

We went to corpus with another family for a long weekend. The condo is brand new and the location is fantastic. The walk to the ocean is short and lovely. The property has a great heated pool that the kids enjoyed. We did not get our door code in the check-in email like we were told we would. So I called and left a message asking for it. I never heard back. We arrived late at night with 8 tired kiddos and couldn’t get into our room. Through a series of phone calls and long hold times I was finally able to get the code to get in the condo. We also noticed a loose stair nose that was a big tripping hazard (one of our party is pregnant). So, I emailed and promptly heard back and was told it would be fixed that day, but no one ever came.
So, while there were many good things about this place, there were also a couple of bumps in the road.
I have always stayed at home away’s properties that are owned by an individual. This one is owned and managed by a company and I think that made a difference in the experience.

- Jennifer N. from Tyler, Posted: 03/23/2019

We apologize for any miscommunication on our part. The door code messages are setup through an automated system that sends them out to thousands of guests per year and with very few issues. We'd been in touch with the builder in regards to the stairs issue and where told it would be addressed during your stay, we're very sorry that it was not but we'll be sure it is taken care of before any future guests check-in. We do not own the property, we do manage it for the property owner. Roughly half the properties on sites like Homeaway and VRBO are managed by a property manager. Bumps in the road are always unfortunate but we do appreciate your feedback and help to improve our services for future guests. We hope we see you back soon.
