It was rainy and cloudy most of the time we were here, but it was still a great beach vacation because we were staying in a cute beach cottage! I was so grateful for that! The cottage was super cute and very clean! The pool and area directly around the cottage is very cute and fun! Feels like a beach resort. The rental agency was very pleasant to work with and contributed positively to our vacation time … no stress!!! Very important for a relaxing vacation. Thank you Padre Escapes!
