Beautiful and Comfy Space!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved the Big Kahuna! The space was roomy enough for our family plus two, and was just as bright and welcoming as ever. The kitchen is large, with all the cooking items you need to make or bake a family meal. Full size fridge fit everything under the sun, and the ice and water maker is perfectly filtered. The courtyard playground and pool are lovely with a dump bucket that fills with water and dumps into the pool - so fun! Pool was heated during our little chilly stay and was cozy enough for extended play time. We couldn’t have landed in a better spot for our break with our family. Thank you, Padre Escapes! CUTE SPACE AND PROPERTY!

A/C Broken, Great location for kids and pets

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay would’ve been great except the air conditioning on the unit did not work. When we arrived at 1am it was 80 degreees in the unit but set at 74. Called first thing in the morn and no call back. Called again at 4pm and the management responded. HVAC repairman left at approx 8pm. Cooked overnight to 75 but never better than that. They brought swamp coolers the next day. We left the next morn. End unit steps onto playground so great for kids and dog area is also right outside the door. Very clean. No beach or pool towels provided so bring your own. No pump hand soap provided, just bars even in restrooms. Cute decor. One exit/entrance is from master bedroom which is kind of annoying but it works. Pool was heated and comfortable. Great kid area/shallow splash pad. I do think if it had not been so hot and muggy inside our unit our stay would have been very nice. Thankfully the weather outside was such that we could step out and cool off occasionally. They ordered new condenser so the air issues will probably be fixed when the part arrives.
