Fairway Villas

I came here 8/17 to 8/20. I liked the space. The Condo itself was nice. I liked the fact that it was located close to plenty of restaurants and White Cap beach was right down the way. Even though, I visited the beach for less than an hour during my trip, because the heat and I don't work well together. I had to get use to going up and down 3 sets of concrete stairs though. When I first got there, it was so hot, and lugging all of my stuff and food was a beast. The patio windows in both the living room and bedroom were dirty. The Patios needed to be power washed. It seems as if it has not been cleaned before. The chairs were also dirty. There was a bucket of cigarette butts in a pail and butts in the cracks of the patio. The Keurig needed to be cleaned as well. Overall, I did enjoy my stay! The condo that I rented was clean for the most part, besides what I mentioned.

So Far the pool is heated. It is so hot that we could only stay in it for less than 30 minutes. It felt like you are in a hot tub, while the outside temperature is over 100 degrees. Also, they did't tell us we were supposed to bring our own pans to cook. We have one small pan and one extra extra small pan. Not happy, since it is $400 a night to stay here.

Our patio door came off its track about 4 months into our year lease. Several people came out to look at it. One took the door, put in a piece of plywood and never came back. Our pool has several cameras facing it...creepy. We can't smoke on our patio as it is not accessible anymore. All of a sudden we have a sign at the pool saying no smoking. We've always been respectful of our neighbors. Moving out in a week and could not be happier. BTW this is the oldest place on the island and needs so many updates.

Worst vacation in 20 years here at the coast. First off, when we arrived we were told that we did not have a place for our small 5x8 trailer and could park it on the road (there was no room unless they mean the bicycle lane) and we were charged $25 a night for a storage facility miles away. The rental agreement said nothing about trailers, only RVs, campers, pop-ups and boat trailers. The room itself was well below what we were expecting. The a/c is a Nest which goes to 78 during the day and you have no control. The rooms were super hot at night and it was impossible to sleep. Our stay was 5/29-6/3, so I can't imagine what it will be like for those in the hot part of summer. Also, the only TV is in the living room. None of the rooms had a TV. We received 1 towel and 1 washcloth each for a week, so we were constantly running the washer/dryer combo that was super loud and stunk! The bathroom had mold on the baseboards and some red mystery goo running down the wall. The ceilings are super low in the hallways and bathrooms which give you a claustrophobic feeling (see pic with my husband who is 6'2". If you swim at the pool, one of the other residents is recording everything with their Ring camera pointed right at you off the balcony. An uncomfortable feeling when your two daughters are swimming. Spent 20 minutes on the phone today because they locked us out of our room a day early. Our checkout isn't until tomorrow. This place is nothing what it looks like in the pictures. There is constant construction right outside the rooms day and night, and a mattress in front of the entrance on the ground that has been there since the first day. I'm glad we weren't in the rooms a lot. I wouldn't stay here again if it was free. By the way, this is my very first negative review. I usually give a lot of grace, but this was just beyond awful.

Super let down when we arrived that the place looks nothing like the shining star portrayed on the website. The facility is run down and poorly maintained. There was an old mattress that sat out on the curbside the entire week we were there. They have a strict no trailer policy that is only listed in the boat section of the rental agreement. Not owning a boat I did not see this. After towing a 5x8 cargo trailer almost 400 miles I find out it will be towed if I park it in 1 of the 2 provided parking spots. We contacted management and were told to park it on the street. Unfortunately the street has no place for parking so I ended up spending an additional $125 to park at the local boat yard/storage area 5 miles down the road. The rental company has installed a nest thermostat which would up the air to 78 degrees every time we left the room. There was mold in the master bathroom around the base boards and on the ceiling. The hot tub was inop and the pool had random tiles laying loose In the bottom. The walkways to and from the room were filthy with gum stuck all over the place. On the final day we left to go out for the day only to return and find ourselves locked out of the room. After 20min on the phone we managed to get the people to understand that our check out wasn't until the next morning. All-in-all very poor customer service with very little regard for their tenants. The five-day stay here was not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, and in no way do I feel as if I got my moneys worth. Please take the time to look through the pictures before staying here.

Hello, I have now stayed at Fairway Villas 3 times since July 4th weekend of 2012. At first I did not know what to expect because I have only heard of two reviews; one good review and one bad. Plus, both of the reviews were written awhile back. So here is what I have to say about Fairway Villas as of the summer of 2012.Fairway Villas is a condo complex. It's not located on the beach BUT it is only a 3-minute drive. Plus it's conventionally located on Padre Island, meaning it is both 20- 25 minute drive to Corpus Christi and Port A. Online you may find some outdated pictures and information about Fairway Villas. So for the truth check out their website:http://www.fairwayvillasblueskycondos.com/All 3 of my stays have been great!!! Fairway Villas has made lots of improvements from the reviews and old pictures I have found online. I thought the condos were up to date, CLEAN, spacious, had nice helpful employees, and they charged GREAT reasonable prices. (Check everything on the website)! And having benefits to the golf course is fabulous! Not only did we get a discount, but if you call the country club they will come pick you up and then drop back off at the condo complex. That's nice because the non-golfers don't have to be car less or schedule their day around the golfer in the family. On their website they shared helpful information about things to do around the condo. Bob Hall Pier was fun. We rented surfboards for the day and ate at the restaurant on the pier. The food was great there!

Diamond in the Rough!! I have work for the Federal Goverment for the last 17 years and was relocated with my job; when I stumbled onto this place. Relocating is "stressfull" enough with a family; but I was pleasantly suprised at how much "Both" Diane and Dave went out of their way to help us with this transtion!! The condo we are renting is Wonderful; Very Clean and the space is more than I could ask for. I had looked EVERYWHERE prior to speaking with Diane and the prices were so HIGH; and when I spoke with Diane I was shocked at how reasonable their Condo's were renting for... I "honestly thought maybe something was wrong with it" ...But when we Arrived; I couldnt stop smiling... Besides the wonderful Customer service we recieved upon arrival (which you generally dont get this time of year- with so many people in and out with vacation rentals) I was so impressed with how nice the grounds were kept and the pool was the perfect place to unwind after a day at the Beach or Work (in my case).. We have 3 balcony's and my entire family cant agree more that we have such a pleasant view in every direction. I I strongly recommend this place to Everyone.... Thanks Diane and Dave!!! Heather Q.
