It was really nice having the 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathroom's for our vacation. The condo was decorated very nicely with a beach theme. The pool was heated and clean. We liked being able to walk right out to the beach too. Staff were very helpful and nice. I highly recommend staying here!

Everything we expected and more! The place was very cozy and spacious will definitely stay again next time. If looking for quickAccess to the beach this is the perfect place to rent.
Great condo; clean and comfortable. Will definitely book again. Just be aware there are no spices, not even salt and pepper. And no coffee filters for the coffee pot so you’ll want to plan accordingly. A couple more cookie sheet type pans would be helpful; there is one small one. Other than those small things the kitchen is well appointed.

Although we are locals, staying beachfront at El Constante was perfect for my daughter's birthday beach party! The unit was clean and comfortable, stocked with everything we needed and very well decorated. All notifications from Padre Escapes made understanding what to expect easy for our first time. If we need another staycation, we will be back :)

Cute condo. Bare minimum on the “rental condiments” bring everything you need but toilet paper, shower towels and hairdryer. Not much provided. Tubs were shower only which can be challenging with kids. No ways to watch movies so bring your own set up for that. No washer or dryer. Restaurants, grocery store, ice - everything you need is very close by. All in all was a good stay. Will come back with the things listed above.

It is a basic beach vacation rental. It has a few things that could be updated like the tub/showers but they are not bad. The rest of the house was very clean and nice except for one throw pillow on the loveseat the back of it so kid had used as a napkin but that is easily cleaned. I love that they wash all bedding and the place was so clean. I would switch the furniture around in the bedrooms. I know the one is the master but when you have 4 people sleeping in the bunkroom it gets a little warm at night even with the fan on. just a suggestion. Its a nice place and love the location and views. we would definately stay again. oh and it could use few more chairs on the balconies.

The only bad thing was that the air conditioning did not work well upstairs in bedrooms. I was told at the front office to close the vents downstairs. Pool was clean, not loud, rooms clean. I'm a Designer and there was too much furniture and too many decorations on walls. Very busy. A washing machine would of been nice. Nice big refrigerator and nice stove. Microwave was not closing well but nice and big.

Great accommodations, nice pool, good location, walk or drive to beach. TV downstairs would turn off every 10 min. Staff was unable to fix & Spectrum could not come until after we left. When we got home we realized we had left a very special expensive pillow on the bed that is needed for a neck problem.Office was already closed I called the next morning when they opened at 9:00. Was told that they could NOT even CONTACT the new occupants and could not retrieve the pillow until the occupants checked out. (I wonder how Spectrum was going to be able to access the condo??) So my personal pillow is being slept on/used multiple nights by a stranger in the midst of this Covid pandemic. I do want my pillow case back but needless to say the pillow will most likely have to be thrown away due to possible contamination if it cannot be laundered or maybe I can Lysol it. I even asked her, "what if I had left my PURSE or an envelope of money" and all she could do was quote "the rental agreement you signed". I hope this saves someone from this TERRIBLE experience. Check and Check again for any items because you cannot get them back as long as there is a guest in the condo or so I was told. God forbid you leave a Prescription that can't be refilled without a Dr. visit or a Cpap machine. Hope this helps someone !
