We rented a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Beach Club on Padre Island and found it to be clean, tastefully and nicely decorated, and with a fully equipped kitchen that had every thing needed for meal prep. The location is only a few quick minutes from the beach by car, bicycle, or beach cart. We recommend going with a beach cart, and Randy the manager of the condo can tell you how to get one, and in addition can give you a wealth of information about the area as to places to eat, things to see and do, etc. and will entertain you at the same time with his amusing stories. Initially we encountered some unexpected things at the condo that were problems, (some small and some not so small and not all were under the control of the owner or manager Randy) and made it difficult for us to have a relaxing and restful time there. For example, there is a very nice pool in the complex but when we got there it was being repaired and there was no water in it. The day we left we noticed they had finished the repairs and were putting water back in the pool. Randy dealt with this by offering us the use of another pool at a location in another complex near by. Next when we went to bed the first evening and turned off the lights in our room and the light from outside security lights illuminated the room like it was day. This problem was alleviated by Randy again by putting up some light darkening curtains in the bedroom windows. The biggest thing was the fact that in the apartment directly above us they were doing construction and renovation every day but Sunday when we were due to check out. There was loud hammering, heavy things being dropped on the floor, saws, and other sounds that made getting any rest almost impossible during the day, so forget about an afternoon nap. This was a situation the owner and Randy had no real control over, but they kindly made allowances to us for this annoyance, which we very much appreciated.
