This was a girls trip and it accommodated all nine of us perfectly! It was clean and comfortable. My only complaint it that the skillets need to be replaced. If you stay at this unit, you may want to bring your own. I will be back!!

I would say everything was nice and it was comfortable for a short stay but when walking in the floors hadn't been cleaned. The floors where covered in sand in every room. Wasn't ready to have to clean the floors myself before even starting the trip but it didn't stop us from enjoying the rest of the trip. The master bed was really comfortable and the kids said the bunks weren't bad. I will say the bunk beds are kinda flimsy and may need to have the frames tighten.
If I had any complaint about the set up of the place it would be that there wasn't a pantry of any kind so we had to leave our dry foods in a tote and on the counters and table. Not a deal breaker just a heads up for anyone who stays and packs food like we do. Pool was nice. Liked having the seating on the front porch and having a little hose to spray feet off and anything covered in sand that had to go inside.

Thank you for your review and feedback, Amber! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay overall and apologize that about the sand from the beach, as this is never our standard. We would have gladly addressed this for you very promptly during your stay, but are unable to find any record that the issue was reported. We found you to be a good guest and are happy to welcome you back again in the future. We thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Our stay here is always wonderful. I am not sure there was ample time to clean the unit as well as they always do. The countertops and the floors felt a little sandy. Other than this our stay was fantastic as always.

- Anonymous from Odessa, Posted: 06/05/2023

Thank you for your review and customer loyalty, Suzanne. In the future, please let us know if you need anything at all during your stay. We apologize about sand, as this is not up to our usual standard. We certainly look forward to welcoming you back and hope to see you again soon!

We do throughly enjoy being at B921K. It is very convenient for my husband who has disability walking after a broken back. Steps are an issue so we truly need one floor. Having the crock pot was really nice. The pool could have been alittle warmer. (Not a necessity). The unit is in need of some cleaning as in cobwebs in the corners and the lights and fans need a good cleaning. The lights are dim and the bathroom lights are useless when trying to put on makeup, they are to close to the wall so when you lean in the apply your head shadows the mirror. These wouldn't pass inspection in Minnesota rentals. The dishes are chipped and the plastic dishes have microwave bubbles on them. There wasn't a dish or bowl that was microwaveable to use for meals in the unit. The dishwasher needs attention or repairs. Dishes became moldy in a day if left. It didn't really clean the dishes well.
I'm sure this sounds like a lot of complaining. But overall we really like the place and will come back again hopefully for many years. The location to the beach and having the pool is lovely. Location to stores is pretty close by. I hope you take these as constructive criticims as they are ment to be.
Thank you for allowing me to have a say.
Gene and Karen Prim.

Perfect weekend get-away
Stayed in this condo for a girls weekend and it was perfect. The pool was fantastic and the beach a short walk away. The condo had everything you needed and was comfortable. Will use again!

- Kim C from CORPUS CHRISTI, Posted: 09/11/2022

We love staying at Village by the Beach because of its amenities, location, short walk to the beach, and it's outdoor area (including pools) are almost always pristine. The property management team is always super helpful and professional! The particular condo we rented this time had a few issues like broken fridge ice/water maker, internet went out, sofas were dirty and so were some towels and linens, some kitchen utensils/dishes/pans were a little too worn out or rusty. Nothing worth ruining our trip though!

- Elizabeth I. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/21/2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, it's truly appreciated. Since your stay we have repaired fridge ice/water maker and the internet has been fixed as well. We will be sure to address the sofa and kitchen pans as well. We hope to host you again!

The rental property is our favorite. It is nice, clean, and comfortable. We have everything we need and always enjoy our stay here.

Everything about this condo was perfect for us. Clean, spacious, well supplied with linens, etc. cute arcade games in the "bunk bed room" our kids had lots of fun!

- Sandy M. from Seguin, Posted: 06/11/2022

This is great news! Padre Escapes is honored to host such a fun stay for your family's summer vacation! We look forward to your next visit!

Great experience

- Tim C. from Ovilla, Posted: 06/08/2022

Thank you! Happy to hear it!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Our family of 10 mostly adults, loved the AC during the Texas hot days. We could step right outside and swim in the beautiful pool or go a block away to the beach. Kitchen was stocked with what we needed to cook fun meals. Loved having a washer dryer in the unit. Cute decorations. Comfy beds. Communication with the owners was easy for entry codes, quest, etc.

- Lisa S. from St Marys, Posted: 09/12/2021

Thank you for your kind review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the unit and location! Please do call us for a future booking to ensure you receive your returning guest discount! Thank you!

Great location
Condo very dirty and the unit was very hot uncomfortable to sleep at night.

- Anonymous from DEL VALLE, Posted: 08/16/2021

We apologize for the cleaning issues, I see that we tried to send a housekeeper to address issues but you denied them, understandably . However, I didn't hear on any recorded calls or emails that the unit was hot, please be sure to let us know so we make necessary repairs during your stay. Please do give us a call for a future booking so we may work out a discounted rate! Thank you.

We had a great stay (with no hurricane this year!). This was our 3rd year at Village by the Beach. We LOVE the room decor, pool, location, playground & new Island Market that is available. The management company was very helpful & straightforward with a maintenance issue that occurred before arrival, & even resolved it. We liked the room, arcades & decor, but did find it a little untidy. The floor needed sweeping, table wiping & the walls needed a scrubbing in the bathroom/kitchen areas, but it wasn't a huge issue. Actually, my only complaints were that the bunk beds were wobbly,
the dishwasher didn't seem to work well, & that the upper bunk beds weren't made before arrival (sheets were left for the renter to put on if needed). We will probably be back next year to try out another new room!

- Rebecca B. from Pearland, Posted: 06/05/2021

Thank you for the feedback! WE are glad you had a great "escape". I'm sorry for the cleaning issues, please note to relay that information to us so we may address it during your stay. We look forward to hosting you again.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We’ve been at the complex before. The location and pool is why we chose it again. The booking and check in and out process was seamless. We decided to go last minute but staff made that easy. The unit was clean but tired. Rusty shower curtains, shower curtain hooks, etc. Some worn paint in bathrooms. Hot water temp was quite cool for our taste. I would say we still like the complex, but would likely choose a different unit. None of the issues were major or anything, but with so many units to choose from, we would likely explore a different one next time.

- Anonymous , Posted: 04/04/2021

Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to notify our maintenance team of the items mentioned above. We look forward to hosting you, again.

This was our second year of staying the winter in this unit. We did have some suggestions for improvements that we shared with the property management company. Overall we were satisfied with this property and we had an amazing winter on N. Padre Island.

- Doug and Brenda K. from Jackson, Posted: 03/19/2021

Thank you for your suggestions, they were passed on to the owner and the appropriate teams. We look forward to hosting you next winter. Thank you.

Property management team was exceptional. Their communication went beyond expectations. The property itself was a disappointment. Large areas of paint falling off the kitchen cabinets showing raw wood, master sink water pressure very low, remote for family room taped together with tape that had been on so long it kept falling off.

- Anonymous from Dallas, Posted: 10/02/2020

Our family will most definitely be going back it was everything and more we loved it.

- Laurie W. from Venus , Posted: 08/10/2020

Very clean and great for a family- loved the kids room- video games were an extra surprise- pool was awesome and loved that we could watch for our sitting area- beach very close- we will definitely visit again! Check in and check out a breeze!!

- Jill V. from Omaha, Posted: 07/07/2020

Beautiful property. We opened our door and there was the pool. I’m waking distance to the beach, if you’re not bringing a lot of stuff with you. Drive or bring a cart to haul your stuff. Only two minor issues. Toaster didn’t work and ice maker didn’t work. Contacted padre escape about issue and they said they would fix it ASAP. Overall I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

- Ramon L. from Guthrie, Posted: 06/26/2020

This was not the unit we originally rented almost a year in advance - those owners canceled on us in mid October. As the property management tried to get us something else at that late date, we were offered this unit. We liked this rental unit with the exception of meeting the needs of adult guests that we had two times during our stay. This unit is strictly set up for kids in the spare bedroom, not adult guests. There are games in the room, no night stands or lights and not set up for two adults to sleep together in one bed. They had to sleep separately in bottom bunks. There is one double bed in a bottom bunk, but the guests would have to climb over each other to get out if they would need to use the bathroom during the night. Other than that, everything was fine or was addressed by the property management company in a very prompt manner.
The bedroom furniture in the master bedroom is very nice. We really like the nice dresser and the night stands.

- Doug and Brenda K. from Jackson, Posted: 04/11/2020

The condo was well equipped, plenty of space and comfortable rooms. The beach was a bit far to walk and the management company was late on sending code to access property due the to cleaning staff still being there past check in time. I had to call numerous times and did not get a call back.

- Jo L. from Burnet, Posted: 03/24/2020

We stayed at Village by the Beach over Spring Break. Unit B921K was absolutely perfect!!! Exactly as described. Condo was immaculate, great showers, awesome kitchen, comfy beds. Pool & BBQ areas very clean. Property Mgmt Company always immediately available. Already looking into our next visit. HIGHLY recommend Padre Escapes!!!

- Veronica G. from Austin , Posted: 03/23/2020

Place was clean and good location to beach

- Anonymous , Posted: 09/26/2019

The property was conveniently located, clean, and the reservation process was great.

- David C. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/27/2019

Nice unit with ample accommodations for 1 adult and 4 teenagers. Convenient location just off the pool and very close to the beach. This unit shares a wall on either side with other units. During the time that the other units were occupied we never heard anything from the occupants. We would choose to stay here again.

- Kirsta S. , Posted: 07/29/2019

We love the location and pool at Village by the Beach which is why we returned to this complex. We chose this unit for the advertised arcade games and XBox - but upon arrival we learned the PacMan game was waiting for repairs and apparently the XBox had been removed from the unit - which left Golden Tee, which was enjoyable enough for the little ones. I wish I had known prior to arrival about the XBox as our older kids could've brought theirs from home. The wifi signal seemed weak; when it worked, the signal was strongest in the guest room where the router is. We kept losing signal and just decided to disconnect and use our data. The property management team was professional when we called to inquire about the issues. The unit was clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen/baths are well appointed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will likely return.

- ANGELA T. from ROUND ROCK, Posted: 07/29/2019

The unit was exactly as described. It was clean and very comfortable. We spent the days at the beach, the evenings in the pool. We can't wait to come back! The location can't be beat!

- Anonymous from Keller, Posted: 07/28/2019

We’ve been staying at these condos about 5 years now & this year we experienced the following issues.

- internet is horrible/stopped working repeatedly/super slow
- TV remote in main area is broken didn’t work
- none of the racade games work but they are marketed in pictures

- matt m. from Erie, Posted: 07/20/2019

Thank you for the feedback, there has been some issues with the arcade games. We're actively working to get those fixed. No other issues have been reported on the TV and Internet but we will double check those. Thank you.

2nd year we've stayed in same condo. We love it. Pool is fantastic. We have 3 grandchildren under 6 and the patio gate and pool gates offer great safety, security and added relaxation.

- Vicki B. from Dysart, Posted: 06/29/2019

This is the 4th year we've been coming down to Padres and I've been a long time rental customer. Have always had a great stay and experience, but this time it was a bit different. We didn't have tv or internet for almost half the stay. When I reported it initially there were literally a dozen people calling me but no one knew what anyone else was doing. It got to the point where the phone calls were obnoxious because we needed action, not that. One person actually came out and left ripped pieces of paper telling us what to do with the remote to turn on the tv, which were left for us to find next to a remote that was open with NO BATTERIES inside as well. OK? We finally had a young man come out and help us but it took my partner working with him for almost 90 + min to rearrange the set up, routers, tv signals, etc... Things finally got set up but it sucked hours of our vacation time and prior to that trying to entertain 4 kids without tv suxs. The arcade games that we rented the unit SPECIFICALLY for did not work, which was also a huge disappointment for the kids. We also had a lovely pair of molded green smelly towels left in the wash for us to discover on the first day. I love staying at the Village by the Beach but this time we lost energy to the issues and were left disappointed in one of the reasons we originally rented the unit.

- Andrea F. from Austin, Posted: 06/01/2019

We're certainly disappointed to hear your stay wasn't up to our normal standards, we'll contact your directly in regards to that. We did have a technician come check out the games and address all issues. Technical difficulties, happen from time to time and we do our best to address them as the occur. Thank you for the feedback.

Get time, even tough the weather was terrible. The condo was goos just like the pictures. We learned never to have bunk beds again, too hard to make. The pinball machines really didn’t to anything but take up space. We thought the lightening the condo was always to dark,. Overall the whole condo was dark.

- Anonymous from South Bend, Posted: 03/26/2019

Very clean, nice place to stay. Stocked with kitchen utensils, dishes, etc. Team was very responsive to needs. Only issues we had were with a circuit that tripped with stove / lights on at same time. They should look into that issue more in depth.

- Derek C. from Papillion, Posted: 11/26/2018

We will get it checked out, thank you for letting us know. Hope we see you back again soon.

Love everything! Easy check in and check out, the rooms very clean and cozy. Swimming pulls are awesome. We will do it again next year.

We've rented here before and loved it! We'll be back!!

Checked in Saturday afternoon and checked out Monday Morning. Loved the location of this Town house. It was very close to the beach as it states. The rooms were perfect since we had kids under 10 with us. It's right in front of the pool too (3 sec walk) so that was a plus bc the kids loved the pool!
The only downfall was the AC did not work. Upon arrival we read the handbook which says not to lower the temp bc the pipes will freeze so we only took it down to 75 but i never cooled down. We had called for maintenance Saturday evening and got a no show and wehn we called back i guess the office had closed. So we ended up running to Walmart (13 minutes away - also a plus) to buy 3 Fans for each room and the living room. Sunday morning, called the office and got maintenance to come fix it. Ac seemed to be cooling after it was fixed but then when we got back from the beach it seemed to have stop cooling again. We didn't bother calling again this time. We just stuck to our walmart fans. Other than that, the trip was great, the kids had fun and that's all that really mattered.

Had a blast with the grand kids this past weekend. Plenty of room - they loved the pool! Thanks for a wonderful stay- we are already talking about next year!!

- Christine R. from Berclair , Posted: 07/17/2018

The place was very clean. As soon as we walked in we felt at home. We couldn't be happier with our stay. It seemed a little pricey but once we got there and saw the place it was worth it. The pool was fantastic. We were also able to wash and dry our dirty clothes before we left which made it really nice to just unpack and hang up our clothes. We will definately come back.

- Derrick K. from Emeryville, Posted: 06/28/2018

4 families came from all over to stay at Village by the Beach in 2 units! We were more than satisfied with the location and the amenities! We will be coming back next year for Friendship Weekend 2019!

- Kaci H. from Cibolo, Posted: 06/19/2018

It's like a home away from home. Our stay was relaxing and we didn't have to worry about anything except to spend the day at the pool or the beach!

- Amie C. from Fayetteville, Posted: 06/18/2018

Breaker switched off (which meant no ac.) on a Sun. We called contact person and they said someone would be out. no one came so we found breaker box ourselves and fixed it. Otherwise everything was good.

- Vicki B. from Dysart, Posted: 06/12/2018

Every two years we have our family Thanksgiving reunion down at the coast. This year we due to Harvey's destruction we choose to go to Village by the Beach. There are 18 of us. We had a wonderful time. Everything was clean and had everything we needed to cook our dinner. The office people were so helpful and welling to help. Its the first time we have stayed here and will certainly stay again. We all had a great time.

All in very good condition, kitchen is fully equipped. Cleaning personnel could do a better work and keep it spotless for the amount of money they charge, not just clean open tops, but keep unit really clean and dustless under furniture and etc. Pool could be few degrees warmer, but overall it is a good value. Xbox and gameroom helps too

- Anonymous from Tomball, Posted: 11/29/2016

Thank you for your feedback, we will double check on those cleaning issues you mentioned and pass along your recommendations on the pool temp to the HOA.

My friends and I had a great time at Port A recently. Our stay at Village by the Beach was great . All my friend kept saying that in last 20 years since we 've been coming to Port A to play golf our time at Village by the Beach was A1 ! I;m sure that we all will be back next year if not earlier.

- Vladimir S. , Posted: 10/15/2016

We spent four days at village by the beach in October: the unit was very clean, and well equipped with everything you need to cook and spend a good time. The unit is right next to the pool but there are two security gates in case you have little ones.
The games in the children's room was the cherry on the cake for the whole family to enjoy!
The pool area is great to relax and long enough to actually swim some laps. A smaller pool is available for the kiddies.
Location is perfect: 10-15 mins from either the state or national seashore parks, minutes away from grocery stores and restaurants yet extremely quiet.
Would have ben perfect had it been seafront but you can't have it all!!

- Marianne W. from Houston, Posted: 10/11/2016

We had some friends meet up in CC to attend a rugby tournament. Great condo and facilities. We will definitely be back!

- David P. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/02/2016

Are condo was fabulous, we couldn't have asked for a nicer condo and complex everything was amazing.

- Karen S. from Greenville, Posted: 07/23/2016

We have booked with Padres escapes in the past and always had an amazing time well this year was horrible this year was by far the worst experience. Fridge was not cooling my groceries went bad, A/C was not working and my master bedroom bed was broken I called to speak with a manager never got a returned call until I checked out and what did I need him for by then. So my husband and 6 kids were hot and very unhappy. Maintenance came out several times but nothing was fixed until the last day.

- Mary G. from Lewisville, Posted: 07/22/2016

We certainly hate to hear you had such a disappointing stay with us, especially since you're a returning customer. It was 4th of July weekend and very difficult to get an AC tech over there to check it out but we did get him over there and he reported to us that there were no issues with the AC, only numerous kids going in and out and leaving the door open causing the unit to stay hot. I, the managing partner of Padre Escapes, personally checked the fridge temp with an infrared thermometer and found it to be cooling fine. The only issue with it was when you initially checked in it was packed full of food so it took a few hours to catch up and cool everything off. Despite our recommendations you chose to throw the food away. I spoke with you when I came over to check the fridge and after you departed. The bed had to be fixed twice because it was broken twice. It was reinforced with 2x4's to insure it does not happen again. Thank you for your feedback.

The property is exactly how it is advertised. Close to the beach with a beautiful pool and all the comforts of home. Customer service was exceptionally pleasant and easy to deal with. I do plan on returning on another getaway.
