Best winter ever! 🌞

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 escaped the frigid Ohio winter weather and spent it enjoying Corpus Christi. Our condo at Palm Bay Village was everything we hoped for. It has literally anything you could think of or need. We like to cook and they have every utensils and cookware conceivable. There are also gas grills throughout the complex that are free to use. Everyone was friendly and polite. The pool is right outside the awesome patio. The condo is open and spacious. The beach is right down the street. Only about a 10 minute walk. If you want to park on the beach, be sure to stop at the Stripes station across the street from the condo to buy a parking pass ($12).

Our beach stay

Had a great time staying in the condo. It was only a 3 minute drive to Whitecap Beach. I wish it had some grass for our dog to go to the bathroom. The condo was really big and well equipped. I will definitely be coming back.

Palm Bay Amazing!

We loved everything about this property! We did not want to leave! So nice having the garage access and backdoor pool access! Very clean, very comfortable! Close to the best drive on beaches in Texas! Make sure you buy a $12 parking pass! We grabbed needed items at dollar general down the street and Huge HEB just over causeway. Pool is amazing for kids and adults. So big it will never be crowded. Neighbors were all friendly. We would love to stay here again or live here!

Excellent condo near beach

An absolutely stunning condo that was very clean and equipped with all the amenities we needed. Just a two minute ride to the beach in the property had a great pool with barbecue Grills nearby. Unfortunately the pool was so dirty we didn’t go in….looked like no one cleans it and it was like that Thursday through Sunday. Otherwise, the property was excellent and we’d return once more to see if the pool issue was a fluke. Definitely a stunning condo though.

Favorite Padre Stay

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 try to grab a Palm Bay condo every year we come to Padre - they have the best pool for the days or hours when the waves or weather are too rough for the beach. Best pool we've found in the area hands down with great plants too. A 90 second drive to the beach.We love this unit's 2 car garage and best patio view of the hummingbirds in the morning. Has all the kitchen appliances you will need. Clean and comfortable. My kids love that the bedrooms are upstairs.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Some of the furniture was in need of repair. There was a double bed in each large bedroom instead of a queen. We were unable to sleep well in the smaller bed.

Pool security and pool grado

We love staying here, is our second time, location is convenient and we have pool access from rm. This time there was a security guard doing rounds, which is great. There was a younger guy the first couple of days. But the 3rd day was a different security guard and he didn’t understand the meaning of diving, he told us kids couldn’t jump into the pool, they weren’t diving!! Families were living the pool for this reason, kind of intimidating to have someone calling you off when you are doing nothing wrong. Also the grado wasn’t working nor the other water features, not sure why they get turned off early, if most people are the pool in the afternoon. We saw they were working in the morning, but when would get there around 6p they would be off. Thanks

Nearly perfect place for my small family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect condo for my family of three on our first vacation to Corpus Christi/Padre Island. We chose this location because it is just a couple minutes drive to the beach and had an incredible pool. Overall, a few things could have made our stay more pleasant though.PROS: close drive to beach, awesome pool, garage with the unit, well stocked kitchen tools, nice/updated place with fairly comfortable beds, super helpful management to assist with check in and check out, the condo itself was immaculately clean.CONS: the biggest downside was the state of the pool (we were there for 4 days and it was never cleaned, gross piles of sand/dirt collected all on the bottom with constant debris floating around, and I never saw anyone there for maintenance. It was a disappointment for sure), our AC also couldn’t keep up with the July heat and remained near 80 degrees regardless of setting (the unit could use some room darkening curtains to help keep cool during day during summer months), and some of the furniture (couches) were pretty wore out/damaged but still comfortable for the small amount of time we were inside. OVERALL: We would love to stay here again because of the many perks and how well it worked for my family. But the cleanliness of the pool might make me hesitate. And I would need to pack some fans for a mid-summer trip if the AC isn’t able to keep up. I hope it was a fluke instance for both because everything else made for a perfect family trip.

Extremely disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very 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: For the amount we paid for this rental we couldn’t have been more disappointed. First, we were called several times in regards to maintenance issues from Padre Escales asking to come over to fix this or that. We had our two dogs so asked for appointment times so we could plan accordingly. The were agreeable to that but then would just never show leaving us waiting around for hours for nothing. There were roaches in the rental. A lot of them. I understand being in southern Texas you mat find a roach in our home occasionally, but this was Every. Single. Day. Multiple times they would be a roach running across the countertops, IN THE DISHWASHER (which was nearly a daily occurrence) and in the master bedroom. We called and arranged for them to come spray the rental, but this did not work whatsoever. It was SO bad we actually left a week early, and found a new place to stay because we were just so disgusted. We asked for a refund since dealing with roaches for the amount of money we paid did not seem fair and they refused. They actually asked for the date we were leaving so they could try and rebook it right away. I told them I could not believe they would try and rent it out again so soon considering the extent of the roach problem it had!!! So, if you want to spend your money and vacation time living with roaches and interruptions this is your place. Horrible, horrible experience.
