Awesome Property on North Padre
I've stayed in several condos at Beach Club and this one is absolutely the best. Extremely clean and the bed is so comfortable. If you're looking for a place to stay this one must be on your list. I only hope it's available next time i'm down.

This was my second stay at The Dover and like the time before, it was perfect and like last time, the condo was sparkling clean and fresh when I arrived. The hosts have thought of everything even things I didn't know I needed! I love the location of the Condo, one just has to step out onto the balcony to see the water and beautiful beach. The kitchen had everything I needed to include an awesome blender and a Keurig. I hope to return next year!

Clean pretty place. Close to beach access and restaurants. Nice pool for the kiddos. Bed was not comfortable at all, seemed pretty old and “springy”. The owners responded promptly to questions. Overall loved the complex.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 15, 2023
Thank you, Carson, for giving a glowing 5-star review of "The Dover" condo and the Beach Club complex – (except for the "springy" mattress, that is, lol. :)... Believe it or not, we take notice of our guests' reviews and often make changes based on their comments. So when reading about the "springy" mattress, we right away scheduled a test-sleepover at "The Dover." (Btw, we knew "seemed pretty old" couldn't apply here, due to the fact that "The Dover" was just recently furnished with a Sealy Posturepedic Caversham Plush Eurotop mattress, but we were still curious about the "springy." :).... Just as we thought, "The Dover" test-sleepover was a success! We couldn't have slept better, and not one "springy" moment, thank goodness, except for the "spring" in our steps the next morning from having slept so comfortably! Sorry, Carson, we won't be making any changes to "The Dover" mattress after all. The only thing we might do in the future is order more Sealy Posturepedic Caversham Plush Eurotop mattresses for our 4 other beach condo rentals. One thing we can all agree on, though – it's simply not possible to find the perfect mattress that pleases all the people, all the time. However, we do try our best. Sure hope you'll be back, Carson, and give us another try. ~Blessings always and sweet dreams, Marilyn & Richard...💟 💤

Cute Condo Near The Beach
The condo was exactly as described on VRBO. No surprises. All kitchen and laundry appliances worked perfectly. Had a problem with cable TV on arrival. Owner promptly came and then a neighbor came and helped me get it resolved. All in all we enjoyed the condo and would recommend it to anyone looking for a 2 bed 1 bath condo. Just a short walk to the beach.

David, thank you for your kind words and glowing review of our (one-bedroom) "Dover" condo. We are so glad that our tech-savvy Beach Club neighbor was "on-call" to help figure out the cable tv for you. We often call on him ourselves, since all 5 of our condos have different equipment, and he's a genius with them all. We hope you'll be back someday, and next time you visit, you'll be able to instruct us in the use of the cable tv at "The Dover." :) ~All our best, Marilyn & Richard
