Village by the Beach B908K

Great stay at the village by the beach. This was our 6th stay at this complex and first in this unit. We didn’t have internet when we arrived so Padre escapes sent out spectrum the next day to correct it. Several light bulbs were out in the bathroom making it difficult to see. Maintenance had to come in to replace since they were “special bulbs”. Then we got notified pest control would need access to the unit to do a routine spray. We declined to let them in while we were in the unit since we already had a spectrum guy and a maintenance guy in our unit during our 3 night stay. Great stay just got a little aggravated with all the unexpected visitors.

We’ve stayed at Village by the Beach several times and this is the first time that Padre Escapes let us down. The furniture (blue couch and yellow accent chairs) were FILTHY We draped spare sheets on them so we could sit without feeling grossed out. I mentioned this to my friend who stayed there in June and she said it was just as gross then (our stay was in Aug). The top bunk was stripped but not made. When I mentioned this to customer service they said they don’t make top bunks, they just leave clean linens for you to do it yourself. At some point they used to make the top bunks because this is the first time we’ve run into this, Have you ever tried to make a top bunk? It’s not easy. They could at least provide a step stool if they won’t make the bed for you. Lastly, we were without internet our entire stay. Padre Escapes sent someone out who was unable to fix it, so she had to call the internet company. Internet company couldn’t make it out before we left. This was a working weekend for us. We took a beach trip last minute so our kids could enjoy the beach before school, but both my husband and I had work to do, which we couldn’t because there was no internet. In addition, we’d looked forward to all cuddling on the couch (filthy) in the evening and streaming our favorite family show (no internet) after a long day at the beach and pool. So let’s break it down: yucky furniture - we pay a hefty cleaning fee so is it not reasonable to issue us a partial refund? The top bunk issue - ****** new policy. Internet issue - not Padre Escape’s fault but certainly not ours either. So I politely asked that they consider issuing us a partial refund or a credit due to the dirty furniture and lack of internet. The rep said she would escalate it to a manager and asked that we allow “some time” to get back to me. That was via a text exchange on 8/13. On 9/8 I sent a follow up text asking for a statu

Thank you so much for taking my call this morning. Again, we deeply apologize for the issues you experienced and I'm disappointed to hear we were unable to resolve these items mentioned prior to your departure date. Padre Escapes prides themselves in making our guest stay as comfortable as it can be and it looks like here, we did not meet our expectations. We are grateful for your feedback as we continue to improve the guest experience. Padre Escapes front desk management should have reached out in a timely fashion and its sad to hear that was not the case. Thank you for your patience and we are excited for your return to get it a 100% right at a fair rate!

Me and my family vacation with padre island escapes for past 4 to 5 years. Nice condos, clean, and amazing pool. And very close to the beach. I'd recommend other families to book through Padre island escapes.

Thank you for the kind words. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and certainly welcome you back anytime. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

The vacation rental was well appointed, we only needed to bring our groceries and personal items. There is a clean bed promise that is filled better than any other vacation rental our family has stayed. We were only a family of 3, but this rental could more than comfortably accommodate 6 without feeling crowded. There are 2 pool areas on the property and our 7 year old enjoyed playing at both and meeting other vacationing children. The property as a whole was very clean, including all the common areas, and all guests on the property were respectful of other’s space and respected quiet time in the evening. Overall, our stay was wonderful, we wish we could have stayed longer, but will definitely book again if we are down in Corpus.

Thank you for your feedback, we will check out that chair and get it updated if needed.

Our unit needed a moderate amount of cleaning, but the bed was comfortable and the couch was cleaned. Yellow, swivel chairs were cute and comfortable, but need to be seriously cleaned! We put blankets over them when they were used. The table seated only 4 adults, so we asked for and received two folding chairs. We also asked for several items we never received, such as area rug, shower curtain hooks, serving bowls and serving spoons. We purchased our own items including throw rugs. We left the rugs, but took the kitchen items home with us. We also purchased garbage disposal cleaner, washing machine cleaner and dishwasher cleaners. We left the remaining cleaners, as well. Clean windows and ceilings fans would have helped to improve lighting in the condo. The colors and decor theme were lovely. We tried to book for next year, but Padre Escapes keeps changing their policies. Now we have to book for a minimum of 60 days to reserve a year ahead of time. We decided to switch rental companies, but we’re staying with Village by the Beach. We love the pool area and proximity to the beach. After several years of jumping through hoops and playing their impossible games, Padre Escapes is not our recommended rental company on the island. ��

Thank you for your review. We appreciate all feedback we can get to help us strive to be and do better. Our records show that we had addressed all concerns (within our required items list) you submitted the first week you were here, minus the area rug and grilling utensils. As we mentioned on the phone call with you, area rugs are not recommended due to the amount of sand they hold and becoming a tripping hazard. While submitting your requested list on March 4, you had already informed us of purchasing the kitchen items yourself therefore not allowing us to address this for you. Our 60 night minimum policy has always been in place until April 1st, which is when we open any remaining units for 30+ night stays. I see you booked this unit in early January 2022 - which is why it allowed you to book for 30 nights. We hope you had a great stay with us and we are sorry to see you go.

Location is GREAT...close to beach (short drive). I liked that it had 2 reserved arking spots but parking lot was small and crowded. Pool was nice but often crowded with language and loud music that was not family-friendly. Townhouse was cozy but furniture was well-used and a little dirty. I liked that there is security patrolling the property regularly.

Rental was clean and well stocked. Easy to get to and near restaurants and the beach. Only downfalls were the beds. They were way to hard and led to sleepless nights. Otherwise a good rental.

- Paul M. from New Braunfels, Posted: 07/27/2021

Absolutely worth every penny! This was a great condo, not far from the beach (a 5 minute walk or go grab a parking permit and you’re there within seconds. The condo was very clean and tidy. Came with a select amount of necessities (trash bags, detergent, soap etc.) to get by for our stay. The management company was very professional and helped in all ways needed! I would recommend this for another stay and I’ll definitely be going back.

- Kristin M. from Liberty Hill, Posted: 06/15/2021

Great time, excellent rental!

- Scott R. from Sabinal, Posted: 06/09/2021

We had an excellent time! We were very impressed with the décor and amenities supplied. The place was well configured for a small family and nicely appointed for a beach feel. Only suggestions/improvements would be they could use a new hose out front as the one there was unusable with kinks and cracks (for washing feet to try and not track sand inside). Also would have been nice to have some hooks for swimtrunks and towels as seen on other places wither outside or also in bathroom). No issues though, we had a wonderful time and hope to return soon.

We rented this property for a family getaway and we had a blast! Great location, very close to the beach and perfect for my family! The kids loved our weekend getaway and would definitely go back again. The owner/manager is very good, responsive, easy to book the property and contactless check-in process.

This is a cute place and pretty well stocked. My only complaint is that the couch and chairs desperately need a cleaning. I would not stay at this specific unit again because of it but this is our second time staying here and we love it. We love the kiddie pool and playground. Easy access to the beach. Close to shopping and food.

- Lauren M. from seguin , Posted: 10/01/2020

Our stay was absolutely wonderful!!!! Very relaxing and comfortable. Everything was so clean and just perfect. We will definitely be staying again in the future.

This condo was perfect for our family of 6. It was clean and everything we expected it to be. We loved the pool and it was close to the beach. We will definitely be returning. Totally worth what we paid. We felt right at home!!

- Keely R. from Lockhart, Posted: 07/07/2020

We really enjoyed our stay at Village by the Beach in Corpus Christie/ Padre Island. Our daughter lives in Corpus so we were able to enjoy time with her while being there. The condo is very nicely decorated. The furniture needs to be cleaned very badly. It is showing its wear. There was plenty of cooking utensils. The condo could use some Rubbermaid to store leftovers. It could also use more towels, washcloths and dish towels. We did have someone steal our beach wagon the last night so I guess I would recommend keeping your belongings inside even if items are sandy. All in all we would stay again at this complex. We had a very easy check in and check out process. The two pools were great also!

- Linda S. from Fair Oaks Ranch, Posted: 06/21/2020

This unit was perfect for my family of 5. Close to the beach and the kids absolutely loved the pool. Condo was also clean with plenty of towels and a washer/dryer if you needed it.

- amber p. from corpus christi, Posted: 05/17/2020

The property was perfect. Just as pictured. There are two pools and a playground on the property. Great location for a family stay. Close short walk to the beach. Would definite recommend for future stays

We really enjoyed our stay this year...there were a few minor issues that had to be taken care of but Padre Escapes were very good about getting them taken care of right away..the maintenance men were very nice and helpful...

We were very pleased with the condo (14908 Village Beach Dr., in the Village by the Beach complex on N. Padre Island) we rented through Padre Escapes for the month of Dec. 2019. The couple of issues we had were taken care of very quickly.

- John C. , Posted: 01/03/2020

The location is very convenient. Be sure to bring trashbags, laundry detergent and dishwasher tabs if you are staying longer than a few days. The property could leave 6 sets of towels. We had 6 guests and only 4 sets of towels.

- Andrea P. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/25/2019

Very relaxing, clean, comfortable, easy access to the beach and the pool.

- Jeanne H. from Corpus Christi, Posted: 07/26/2019

This unit was AMAZING! The entire area was great, the two pool areas, the distance to the beach and the drive into town. The management company was very kind and professional.

- Tasha L. from Manor, Posted: 07/18/2019

Beautiful and clean condo. Just like the picture!! We had a great time at the condo, at the condo pool and at the beach which is walking distance from the condo.

- Ronda S. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/09/2019

We didn’t spend much downtime here, mostly just slept and got ready every day. The unit was easy to access, clean, and the master bed comfortable enough. The pool was lovely with a convenient outdoor shower. You’ll want to drive to the beach, as you’ll need supplies to transport anyway. Only recommendations are to add a mat just inside the front door and replace the living room tv remote. (It was largely unresponsive and we couldn’t turn down the volume.) However, I would stay here again.

- Anonymous from Seattle, Posted: 10/06/2018

New, clean, well managed property on the Island. Close to Packery jetty, Seawall and Whitecap beach. Great location. Spend your day at the beach and the afternoon in the heated pool at the complex. We'll stay again.

- Margaret C. from Robinson, Posted: 07/14/2018

Loved the location of this condo. Great layout for a family and loved the 2 pools, grills and playground in this area.

- Anonymous from Hewitt, Posted: 07/10/2018

We really enjoy this rental. My family of 4 enjoy its location and all the amenities. Pool is nice. We choose to drive south to the beach - Malaquite is the best beach we've seen in Texas.

- Jeff S. from The Woodlands, Posted: 06/20/2018

Beautiful and clean condo. Short walk to the beach, but if you are packing anything, probably best to drive. Pool was refreshing after a long day at the beach. Washer and dryer was so nice to wash your beach towels. The only negative was we could only get one channel in the living room and no channels in the bedroom. We called when we got there, but maintenance never came.

- Johnna P. from Austin, Posted: 06/13/2018

Weekend getaway to check out the beaches in north padre...great location, new complex, completely furnished condo, easy to book, checkout, etc.

- Katie D. from Austin, Posted: 05/15/2018

Perfect place to stay for my small family. We went down for the weekend for Sandfest and it was so nice. We were so close to whitecap beach as well. The only con I have is the pool area. I wish more areas were shaded. I have a 1 year old so we didn't spend a lot of time out in the pool because of lack of shade. the kiddie pool however was wonderful!

- Ashley M. from La Vernia, Posted: 05/02/2018

Great place, pool was conveniently located and condo was perfect size for our family of 5.

- Andrew N. from Sartell, Posted: 04/14/2018

The property was good. It was different than what I expected from the pictures and online presence. Less magnificent; but still fine. There were a few things missing in the property that should have been there but they brought them. The communication with the office folks was less than strong - there was a disconnect and they were not overly friendly or flexible with service. The check out extension was hard to get (one hour) and did not get noted with the cleaning crew so they were sitting there waiting for us to exit and get our car out of the parking lot. This was after I had been told that there was no one coming that day to replace us and the parking lot for the property there was empty. Not relaxing or anticipated. And we were not leaving town for several hours that day since we were only there for a short trip to the beach for fun and sun.

- Joanna W. from Ottawa, Posted: 03/26/2018

We loved our time away from northern winter weather! Our stay on Padre Island was wonderful. We didn't have great weather this year, but that doesn't take away from the experience as a whole. Village By the Beach is a delightful place to rest and relax. We love it on Padre Island!

I loved everything about this rental, new, clean and fully functional; only wished I had time to enjoy the pool; weather was perfect and the beach is so close; the only thing I would change is the lighting in the bathroom as it is dimly lit.

We absolutely loved it here!! The beach is close, the pool was perfect for us and our 6 and 3 year old, rental was super clean and comfortable! We have been renting from padre escapes for 3 years now and haven't found a place we don't love!! Village By The Beach is our new favorite and will be coming back next year! Can't wai!

- Sarah R. from Lampasas, Posted: 07/14/2017

We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning a return trip. The condo was super clean with plenty of space for the 5 of us. Check-in/checkout was a breeze. Staff was very friendly. I especially liked the convenience of the letters entry, one less thing to keep up with. It was a short walk to the beach. The proximity for an early morning stroll or evening walk was so convenient. Also enjoyed the saltwater pool. Even though it seemed as the place was fully occupied it never felt crowded or loud. We never even heard our neighbors! Would highly recommend.

- FONDA H. from Lorena, Posted: 07/08/2017

Unit was very nice. It was clean and comfortable. Pool was great. Property was beautiful. Only complaint is the pool area becomes a party zone around 7pm. Not very good for families with small children.

- Billie J. from Kerrville, Posted: 06/27/2017

We had a great stay at this rental. Condo is basically new that contains all that a family needs for a great stay. Beds were comfortable and condo is in a great location.

- Jeff S. from The Woodlands, Posted: 06/20/2017

The property managers stayed open for our late arrival and were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice and spacious. The pool area was very nice as well. I would definitely recommend this location for a peaceful, relaxing stay and good looking cation to the beach.

This townhouse was comfortable, new, clean and stylish. I thought from the pictures and VRBO that it was on the beachfront. It was not on the water but we did enjoy it. The pool is heated which was important for Spring Break. The beach is a short drive from the property. Enjoy

- Jeanette G. from spring, Posted: 03/17/2017

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Padre Island. Village by the Beach was a perfect spot for us. We were fortunate to have amazingly warm, winter weather. The beach is approximately a five minute walk, or a quick car ride away. It is easily accessible. We found our unit to be just as expected. It was clean, well-stocked, and very livable. The pool area is just wonderful. We spent the majority of our days making use of both the beach and the pool. We will definitely be returning!

The apartment was very nice. The only knock is the view out one of the few windows in the place is of the parking lot. You can't see the pool from the location we stayed in, but it was a very close walk. Again, place was clean and nice and up-to-date.

We wanted something larger than a hotel room for the three of us and this was perfect. Good location, all the room we needed and very clean! Only complaints were that after the first shower the tub didn't drain well and construction noise behind the condo was noisy a bit too early in the morning. Overall our stay was great!

- Loretta C. from Cumming, Posted: 10/11/2016

Thank you for notifying us about the slow draining tub. We will have maintenance check it out ASAP. The construction noise should only be temporary. Thank you for the feedback.

Everything was great! From check-in, to keyless entry, to a nice basket of welcoming supplies, everything was there for us to have a good time. Only thing that was a downside, was the cable connection was intermittent on the TV, but who goes to the beach to watch TV. Would definitely stay here again.
