Family vacation

We really enjoyed the property. Very clean, great location and are looking forward to staying here again. The only downside is the pool is too small for the complex, not enough chairs or shade. We did have an issue with our beach towels taken from the back fence where we hung them to dry. Other than that we enjoyed our time here and will be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Since the property is about a block away from the beach, getting to it is a quick walk away. The property itself was nicely decorated and clean. We truly enjoyed our stay.

The pool was really nice as well and the slides made it fun (we had to coerce a few to try it haha). There were 6 of us and we really enjoyed our stay!

Fun for all!

We had a great time. There is something for everyone! We went fishing while kids stayed back and hung out in the pool. Beautiful sunset view from the Yacht club deck by the pool.

Great Stay

It was perfect size for 10 people! 5 adults & 5 kids from 2.5 yrs old to 15 yrs old. Great amenities. Only recommendation I have is need more than 1 extra blanket and more towels. Also the water pressure is pretty terrible hade a very very hard time washing shampoo and conditioner and sand out of our hair. Other than that it was great! Location was great too!

Definitely would book again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this booking! Great location and environment. Pool was great for the kids, although it did look way bigger in the pictures the kids still enjoyed it very much. The only thing we didn’t like was the home we booked had a stench of pets. I guess with us not being pet people we weren’t used to that stench. But other than that everything was great. Loved it!

Bright, beautiful, and comfortable in a perfect location!

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: Mermaid Bay was an incredible place for us to live for two months, and we have already booked for next year! This is a newer condo with plenty of space (seats 8 at the dining table!), an open kitchen with quality utensils and every appliance you will need (crockpot, blender, waffle iron, and more!), comfortable beds and linens, and three full baths. The location is totally safe and well-lit at night and the entire property, inside and out was clean and well-maintained. There are nice sized TVs in the living room and all three bedrooms. It is an easy 7ish minutes (2 blocks) walk to the beach or you can drive and park for free in a large parking lot. We love this condo! It is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. Padre Escapes is great to work with and super responsive to any questions or concerns.
