Family Vacation

Property was great size and spacious for everyone. Short walk to the beach. Several lights and fans did not work inside on all floors. All patio lights outside on all floors did not work except for one light in driveway. Washer didn’t work. No utensils or cups downstairs.

Beautiful House-Perfect Location

We had a wonderful week staying at Pelicans Place LCV 23. The walk to the beach was not far and the views were great! There is an inside staircase to the 3rd floor master room (the house description says there is not). A grill is NOT provided even though there is one in the pictures. Luckily we had brought our own grill and griddle. According to the HOA regulations a grill can not be with 10' of the house. This was an inconvenience, since it rained the majority of the time we were there. But the house was fully stocked with everything you need to cook with!

Nice location

Pros - Great location. Beach is walking distance. Enough space for 2-3 families with kids. Maintenance available 24/7 Cons - Bottom floor smelled unpleasant. No connectivity in 1st and 2nd floor from inside the house. Water leak on first floor, though attended by maintenance caused inconvenience during the stay.

Thanks for having this place available!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was clean, comfortable and well maintained. For our size group we used all the bedrooms. The only downside was 2 of the bedrooms were only accessable from the outside. The downstairs was like it's own self-contained unit. It was very nice.

Unclean and locked out!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Port Escapes company requires a 4:00 check in. We checked in at 4:00 to discover that the first floor was locked and no key to be find. The Port Escapes company told us three different options to get in to find out in the last phone call conversation that there was a key to unlock the first floor. Called back at 5:03 and was given the after hours phone line and reported that we did not have a key. We were told by the port escapes after hours person that someone would call us back. Nobody called us back. We did not have access to the first floor which had to additional bedrooms that we paid for! Terrible management company and found the first floor dirty with dead bugs! Terrible place to stay!

PJs Stay

The property was clean, convenient, comfortable with all the appliances, kitchen wares, & normal room needs that we might want & it was all decorated in a tasteful and artsy manner! The property was well equipped, better than we expected! It worked out very well for our whole family, And it was also fairly close to the beach, which is where we spent a great deal of time! One thing that you might want to fix is the wood flooring in the living room hallway on the 2nd floor. It's bowing and coming apart. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed the House! Plenty of beds and space for multiple families. Kitchen is stocked for all your cooking needs. Unfortunately, the beach access was a problem for us. This location only provides a walking boardwalk. note - no golf cart access. We Had canopies, coolers, toys so we had to drive to beach access 2 (2 miles) or beach access 1 (5.7 miles). Bathrooms very clean, beds clean, kitchen clean! Living area needs some attention. Overall, lovely house. But we will not stay here again due to location.

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: Our mother is 90 years and has always loved the beach since growing up in California on the beach! She has leukemia and many health issues that come along with age. But....she is determined to carry on with our family traditions and one is always a yearly trip to Padre Islands! We chose this property so she would not have to climb stairs and it worked out perfectly! We love the Lost Colonies area and have stayed several times in different homes on property. It is one of the best and most convenient beach front properties for all ages! This is our family time and love the privacy to just enjoy each other!!

Disappointed

The reviews are very much true. The listing say remodel home but the 2nd floor is very uneven, there a spot on the floor that Dips in and feels like your going to fall through the floor. Bunkbeds are not very sturdy they wabble alot they look like there about to collapse. Sheets were not cleaned some rooms had sand in the sheets, we even found a poop stain on one of the of the beds. There was dead wasps on the windows. Some of the ceiling fans do not work. The washer is extremely loud. Bottom sliding door does not lock they have a stick on there so it wond open. Overall for the amout of money that we paid is was not worth it. They hype the price up they actually should really look into that 2nd floor that's a safety issue. Oh yes and also kids couldn't play outside on the grass due to there so many stickers in the ground they keep gettingpokedby them, I am not overreacting there was alot, even one that stay in the house step on one. The only good that came out of this home was how close it was to the beach, other then that this home needs alot if work, they actually should rent it out without fixing it 1st someone gonna get hurt. 1 star for me not going back.

Reviewer Comments: The biggest problem was the wasp nest INSIDE the house, on the living room ceiling. They came out promptly to spray the nest but we continued to deal with live wasps in the house for the remainder of the stay.Other problems:Internet didn’t work the entire timeTwo televisions didn’t work properly No blankets on the beds or in the house. The weather was very cold.The house is outdated- not the luxury property that is advertised.On the plus side, the location is great. I think the office staff was trying to help fix our problems but it was thanksgiving week, so it was difficult.

Take a breather

This has been our 2nd year staying at this property. I like the downstairs for my elderly parents and the upstairs for our adult children and grand baby. We did have some minor issues with the property the drier wasn’t working and the sink had a leak. When I contacted the property manager they had someone over to try to repair the items. But over all it was a good stay.

Needs Attention

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pelicans Place is getting a little run down and needs some improvements. The plumbing needs attention, the 2nd level floor near the dinning room, feels like you might fall through in a couple of spots. The washer is extremely loud, the dryer was broken and couldn't be used. Maintenance came out and fixed some of the drain issues and tried to fix the dryer, but was unsuccessful. We had to use a local laundry to wash and dry our clothes, which took time away from our vacation. For the price we paid, I expected everything to be in working condition. I recommend that someone does a complete walk through before anyone is allowed to stay at this location.I wouldn't recommend this property until these issues are completely repaired.

Family Vacation

The location was great compared to the previous house we stayed at that was closer to the road. The listing said there were no interior stairs but there are from the second to the third floor. We had trouble the first day and a half because a breaker flipped and we had no tv or internet until someone came out to access the breaker box. We also had to have house keeping come the first day because the bottom bunk bed had blood on comforter and was soaked through on both flat and fitted sheet from that bed. They were quick to bring us replacements. We also found some trash on the very top balcony and chapstick on a top bunk. The listing specifically said no grill and to bring your own sand toys but there was a grill and tons of sand toys in the deck box by outdoor shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay and they were very quick to come and fix the problems we had.

Amazing Stay at Pelican’s Plave

We have a. Large family of 7 adults and 6 children. We chose this house because of the three stories so we would have room to spread out! Perfect choice! The house was amazing and only a 2 minute walk to the beach. The community does have a private boardwalk to the beach which was very convenient. We definitely would stay here again!
