Memorial Day is always the final Monday in May, and Labor Day is the first Monday in September. There are typically 99 days between them, as any pop music station on the FM dial counting down the 99 days of summer will tell you again and again.

For Padre Escapes, this means 99 chances to seize that summer magic. For property owners, this is the time when 60% of their annual income is generated. Right now, you might be concerned if you notice that your calendar is empty for this peak time. Don’t sweat it!

We are a drive-to-destination, and typically our customers travel just 220 miles. As indicated by our average booking lead time chart below they tend to take their time to book their summer getaways. Remember as a drive-to-destination, our guests have the luxury of waiting to book.

Currently, we have 606 reservations for Summer 2024.

On 2/20/23 there were 384 reservations for Summer. We ended Summer with over 5,600 reservations.

We are Here Because of YOU!

In a hot rental market with little supply and a lot of demand it’s easy to be successful; however in a flooded market you need true local market expertise to still deliver results.

We have our own 6,000+ sq. ft. commercial laundry on Padre Island with room to grow! This allows us to deliver the Clean Bed Promise: We professionally launder all bedding, including coverlets, after every stay. Come and check it out! We’re happy to show you around.

e work for you:

We’re Padre Island, born and bred for 11 years now. What does that mean for our owners? We’re local and Padre Island is our only market! Our backyard is our area of expertise. We believe communication is key to a successful partnership.

No upcharges…ever!

No yearly linen fees, yearly marketing fees, or yearly Kaba lock fees.

Some companies charge a lower management fee, but make up for it in other fees.

The name of the game is returning guests. We always say the best guest is the guest you have. Before your current guests leave, we’ve reached out to them to book their next stay. We continually market to our database of over 80,000 people. Because we know our customers so well, we know where and how to spend marketing dollars effectively. The majority of bookings come from our own website with over 65% of our total bookings a year.
