Nice little get away for the weekend
The location was nice and very close to the beach. The condo was great. Upstairs got a little warm so we had to turn the ac down a few degrees and keep the fans on. The only thing i would change is to give the info out the morning of the first day of check in. It was a little nerve wrecking not knowing where i was going until 1 hour before i was able to check in. Especially after flying from out of state all day. At least give the address and let the members know that they cannot check in until after that time(4pm) and no sooner.

Information provided prior to our arrival prepared us in what to bring to be more comfortable for our beach rental experience. Upon arriving, we were happy with the check in process, cleanliness of the rental, and property amenities. The beach is an easy walk and provided hours of enjoyment. The sea wall board walk was enjoyable to walk in the morning. Overall an excellent experience!

Spacious and convenient!
We stayed here with our kids and dog. It was not our first time at El Constante as we have visited many times over the years. The unit is very spacious, so there is plenty of room for everyone without feeling cramped. We were able to cook in the full kitchen to save a bit of cash and there is a nice small grocery store very close so we didn't even have to pack a cooler to haul down with us. You just walk right out down to the beach, which is so convenient! You can come and go so easily which is a huge plus. The pool is large and uniquely designed with little coves so it didn't feel too crowded. There are only al few units with a straight full on view of the beach and this is not one of them, but the cost savings for a decent partial view was worth it! We'll be back for sure!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rented for 5 days in February. 226 needs an update. Even though the main floor was recently updated, the entire condo needs a refresh. Beds were very comfortable and the condo was clean. Communications with Padre Escapes was great. El Constante is nice and the facilities are well kept and maintained.

Beach Trip
The townhouse was older than expected and the floors felt sandy from the start. The dryer was out of order, so we had the option of bringing our dirty towels to the office to be replaced, but we weren’t able to wash any of our own clothes since there was no dryer. However, the location was excellent. A walk to the beach.

While we were there the pool was closed each day for cleaning during the middle of the day. There was also an issue with birds attacking as you tried to go in and out of your room.

Family Vaca
Condo was very clean & close to the beach. I was even able to sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise over the ocean. The only problems we did have were that the washer & dryer didn’t work (one is not advertised on the website, but there is a stackable in the actual unit). The dryer had a sign on it that it was broken, so we figured we could wash our clothes and hang dry them but found out after we put detergent on them that the washer was also broken. The front desk gave us quarters for their laundromat, so that made up for it. There are a lot of broken floor tiles in the unit as well, however, the unit was very clean & spacious, and the beach was literally steps away.

Location is great; attention to detail is needed
The location is amazing; and the women attending the location are amazing! The pool is nice; but no shade for those who are not in the pool. I am not really sure if all of the apartments are old or renovated; but I was really disappointed in the upkeep of ours; we paid a lot of money and I could not relax , because I had this overall feeling of everything being dirty; had to be constantly on watch with kids about tiles in kitchen floor that are broken. The sofas were sandy/grainy when we sat on them. I do wash our swimwear and towels and the Dryer was not working; so do not recall seeing a notice on this. I would return to this location; but I would probably take a closer look at the details of the apartment/condo. This condo has carpeting, and I don't think it is best idea in a beach town to have carpeting. I think this apartment/condo has all the potential to have happy guests if a little TLC was done to it.

Decente place to stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Washer and dryer were not working and only got 6 towels. Couldn't wash them so had to reuse old towels. Floor was all broken. Guest shower hot water would only work sometimes. Fire alarm went off an hour before we left and wouldn't stop beeping. Condo needs to be updated. Had a very weird smell.
