Summary: 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: We love Mermaid Bay! We have already booked for our third 2-month stay next year! Everything is excellent - cleanliness, location, furniture, ample space, absolutely everything you'll ever need in the kitchen, love the bright, white kitchen with granite counters, open and airy, comfortable beds and bedding, and well-lit grounds. Padre Escapes is super to deal with - very professional and efficient. We are always happy with our entire experience with this unit as well as the management of it.
