Padre Escapes

We just left Beachclub after a two month stay and while not our first, it was our first booking with Padre Escapes. I could easily note a few of the good or disappointing things in regards to the Beachclub complex itself or the particular rental unit we stayed in, but this review is about our experience with Padre Escapes and I can honestly say that ours was almost completely positive in every respect but one. I'll get to that, but from a strictly professional sense this office and its staff are spot-on. Questions prior to booking were immediately answered and resulting online documentation was straightforward and easily understood. We had a couple of minor concerns shortly after arrival and these were addressed almost instantly. Every representative we met was polite, knowledgeable and seemed genuinely concerned about our needs. Follow-through, if necessary, was always given priority - we could not have been more pleased. So why only four stars? Simply put, it's their insistence on a minimum two month stay for 'Winter Texan' bookings. In the past we've booked one month and six week stays, from both individual owners and third party managers, and neither required a minimum stay. Some rent by the night, some by the week, but you have to book at least a full month to avoid hospitality taxes. Frankly we found one month to be too short and two months a bit too long. For us six weeks seems just right, but that's our opinion alone. Obviously we've accepted this because we've already rebooked for next year, but we'd be happier with six weeks instead. If two months or more works for you dear reader, then simply imagine a fifth star above this review. And again, this is not about Beachclub or any rental condo unit. That's another story, this concerns Padre Escapes and only Padre Escapes.

Very nice and clean condo to rent. My only issue is the internet. Very slow, if you all can work on that part it's a 5 star from me.

Love love love their rentals if your looking for vacation rentals this is the agency to go with so friendly very patient and just all around the place to go to rentals are very clean and they get you very good rates.

Great location, across the street from the sandy beach. Great communication. Room was very spacious and open. Pool was nice and warm, plenty of bath towels and if you needed more, just ask. Only downfall we had is we had to give back the wrist bands (which I can understand). Our kids wanted to keep them as a keepsake. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay we are definitely going to book again very soon.

Clean place to stay. Easy to get in touch with. Will use them again.
