This COMPANY should NOT be allowed to manage ANYTHING. They are a TOTAL SCAM. Look at the OTHER.REVIEWS the.reviews are horrible because the owner owner who.is DEBRA BROCK just points fingers at problems you may gave. Then they wait over 2 months to call insurance when there is water behind.None of my walls at my town house that they manage. I wonder who will get that check ? read more

Go elsewhere. These people don't give a single care about there tenants. Like most property managers... Definitely don't expect your full deposit back. They will lie about the condition and deduct for anything they can possibly find. Sarah and Mary can care less about you or your family. Didn't bother removing mold from the house, fixing rotting doors, pantries and other areas of the house, didn't bother to fix roof leaks, door leaks.Nothing. They sure did Deduct $300 for cleaning the carpet even tho we paid to do that ourselves as well. Guess the 40 year old carpet wasn't clean enough for the next tenants. Took about 4 months for them to fix the a/c during the middle of the summer and said 78 degrees in the house is perfectly normal. And the contractors they used were not qualified for the work they did at all. They were also in charge of keeping the yard maintained as you can see, that too was constantly put on the back burner. The $150 we spent to have the patio preasure washed to remove mold? Disregarded The $550 garage door motor replacement , and service we paid for? Disregarded. The $175 we paid to have the carpets cleaned? Disregarded. read more

See all

Palm Bay Village is a very nice condo community on South Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi. It is technically on "the island" but is still convienient to get back into town, or to go down to Port Aransas, Mustang Island, etc. The community is centered around the lagoon-style pool with the condos encircling it and other condos off to the sides like spokes. The pool was excellent, with varying levels of shallow areas, and deeper areas and various water structures (a waterfall, a ring of water, a table in the middle of the deep-end). The only drawback was the pool loungers needed to be replaced: several were broken or blown out after several years of use. Also no hot tub. The whole community is xeriscaped with nice drought-hardy flowering plants and pretty rocks and there is a convenience store adjacent to the property, so we were able to walk over and get drinks and ice as needed. Also a couple bars and bistros nearby. Our unit (#305) is a one bedroom that is tastefully furnished and well stocked with the basics (nice towels and dishware, and a good assortment of board games). It was on one of the spokes of the community, so not right in front of the pool. The couch had a pull-out bed that would be suitable for small children but an adult would probably find it uncomfortable. The flooring is scored and stained concrete so no worries about sandy feet or dripping bathing suits. The unit has a nice washer and dryer, so it would be perfect for renting for a week. We cooked several meals in the well-appointed kitchen. The community also has two propane grills that we used for one meal. The main drawbacks of the unit was the ice maker was really slow and loud and there is no ice maker on the property, so we had to get a bag of ice from the gas station; the showerhead is like one you'd except at a Motel 6 or a cheap apartment; the A/C was really loud as well and since the unit is a little stuffy and warm, it had to be on the entire weekend. Also, the wifi is very slow and weak if you are not near the center of the property and they don't put the password on you welcome packet, forcing you to have to call the office and ask. All and all, these are minor things and we would stay here again, just to get a few more days by the awesome pool! read more

I am tenant in one of their managed properties. I stopped in to have a conversation about a serious situation and was treated like a second class citizen. The owners were down right rude and basically barred me from entering one of their offices to sit down. I had to speak to them in the lobby, and they just said "we don't DEAL with tenants," as IF my being a tenant was beneath them to treat me with basic human dignity. Avoid these hoity-toity types who think so highly of themselves. What is ironic, is that they are trying to make me move out for having two dogs, and at the office, they had a dog running around. Sad but true story. Happened on St Patricks day 2015. If I could put 0 stars I would. read more

Use these people at your own risk. Saying this rental agency is run would be giving them too much credit. Any and all repair requests were ignored or kicked down the road. I called numerous times, sent emails with pictures and no action was taken. Known drug house in the complex with noise issues, filth, etc. No action taken. Plenty of attitude from office staff all the way down to their shitty realtors. The staff is quite quick to react negatively or in a hostile/confrontational manner when confronted on or about their lack of action. The worst rental experience I've had to be quite clear. If you want to deal with UNPROFESSIONAL/UNETHICAL people, look no further. This group is exactly what you think of when you hear the term "slum lord". These people deserve a negative rating....they earned it. read more

Terrible at property management. They never tried to rent my place unless I called incessantly, then never checked on the property when it wasn't rented unless I drove out there - from out of state! My unrented property had an A.C. and water heater leak that went unchecked by my property manager (which is what I was paying them to do) and cost me $10k on top of the income I was losing each month with a vacant property. Terrible. Stay far away from this company as a property manager. read more

When it became time to refund rental deposits they charged us over $500 to trim palm trees which had not been trimmed in years. I guess we made a mistake not to list the landscaping of the property at the time of rental, or maybe the mistake was to rent a property from Palm Bay Rental Management. read more

Where do I begin? So we stayed a total of 10 days at the unit #905. It was great. It slept 4 comfortably, as it had two beds. Super clean. Washer and dryer were easy to use and super convenient. There are two floors and the stairs are steep, but they are cool, otherwise. There are two and a half bathrooms. Master bedroom has an on-suite. Kitchen is totally upgraded with granite counter tops, garbage disposal, and a blender for the margaritas! Stainless steel appliances are super nice, so if you want to buy groceries, please do with no hesitation! There is a small deck in the back with a table and two chairs. There are plenty of dishes, silverware, and there's even a wine cooler. There is also a sofa Sleeper, but it's not acceptable for sleeping, very bad. Oh and did I mention the pool is absolutely awesome! This unit is close to the entry of the pool too! The only reason I don't give it a 5 star, is it advertised as sleeps 6, but it doesn't......and the entry is not well maintained. Otherwise, it's great! read more

Palm Bay Rentals And Sales - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

This place including it's management was a joke. I took my wife there for our 13th anniversary. The rental agent was very nice and talked me into 801 because of its king size bead and cleanliness of the complex. I booked room (townhome) #801 in the Palm Bay Village for three nights. We arrived at 4pm Sunday to check in and were greeted by a less than enthusiastic staff member. The wife was the first to enter the townhome and immediately remarked on how dirty the floor looked. The floor looked as if it had not been cleaned in at least a week. This was only the beginning. The couch and chair were worn and extremely uncomfortable. ALL the rugs were filthy to include the bath and kitchen mats. The kitchen was dirty, dishwasher full from the last occupant, coffee pot dirty, including most of the dishes in the cabinets. The bathroom was also dirty down to the filthy tub which backed up to your ankles with every shower. The toilet was shimmed with a splintered piece of wood which stuck out about 6 inches from the bottom. I called the office, Palm Bay Rentals, and explained the mess and requested a new room. I was told that they were all booked up, but someone would be right over to clean. 2 minutes later the same woman who checked me in was at the door, visibly embarrassed, with cleaning supplies in hand. We, yes "WE", cleaned that place for 2 hours. At this point there was no reason to expect the sheets had been changed so we requested new sheets. Turns out we had to wash the only set. The bedroom closet had only mismatched dirty bedding and a wadded up, yes dirty, mattress cover in it for the foldout couch bed. I called the office Monday morning while on the beach and asked for the manager. The manager was unavailable, but was informed that they were aware of the issues I had the night before and were working on some solutions. I was told they would call when they had some "options" for me. They never called. When I checked out I asked to speak to the manager in person. The manager, another less than enthusiastic person, appeared indifferent as she explained how she tried to find something else, but couldn't. She had no excuse for not calling, but did say she credited out credit card for our problems; $30. I don't even know what to say about that. Long story short; AVOID Palm Bay Rentals! A huge disappointment awaits you there. read more

Our family stayed in a large condo for a one month rental during a relocation to the Corpus Christi area. The home itself was nicely decorated and fit our family wonderfully. We had room for everyone to sleep comfortably, to enjoy cooking in a nice large kitchen and the updated furnishings. Each bedroom had it's own TV and the multiple bathrooms accommodated our family nicely. The ocean was just a short walk away from the condo. Our complaints were not with the home or the homeowners. It was with the rental management company. They were very rude when trying to take care of issues and almost impossible to get a call back. We had to call several times. The furnace went out and we were not able to get call backs from the office in regards to the status. When we did get a hold of them it was a few days before they got the furnace fixed. The homeowners gave us a credit back for the time the furnace was out. Pool was not heated. The hot tub was not in working condition. We asked for it to be repaired or checked out. We were told, "the hot tub was the HOA's responsibility." and there was nothing they could do about it. We were not aware of this when we rented the condo. Nor given another phone # to call. Deposit was not mailed to us. We were called on the 30th day and told to come pick it up. We were charged for misc supplies? ($16.74), toilet paper roller ($1.19), shower liner ($7.11), and repairs to a chair ($23.25) that we alerted them was broken when we arrived. We cleaned the home completely before we left including vacuuming, dusting, taking garbage out, cleaned all bathrooms and swept and mopped and they still charged us a $150 cleaning fee when we left. Also an overage for electric charge of $82.38. I would never rent with Palm Bay again and I certainly would not refer them to a friend. During one of the conversations, a representative actually stated that SHE was trying to be patient with ME. I had simply called three times trying to get an answer with a promise of a call back over a two week period that was NEVER RETURNED. We paid the full amount ($3200) and expected to receive what was advertised and to be treated descent instead of a bother to them. read more

The service we received from one of the head realtors was startling. We have been looking for a home to rent in the Corpus Christi area and each time with spoke with her, she was very short and rude. She was not helpful with the questions we had and would not supply us with additional photos since we do not live in the area. When we did not respond with a deposit and application fee on the property we were interested in, she called us and proceeded to hang up on us when we told her we were going to go with a different property. Very unprofessional. read more

My apartment was not clean. There were balls of gray cat fur under all of the livingroom furniture. The bed linens were worn out. The dishwasher was usless. The apartment is a ground level with two units above. There is no one to contact for issues involving the units above. One weekend at 4 AM I finally gave up and call the police because the noise was so bad....and worst of all was the odor of mold coming from the crawl space opening into the livingroom coat closet. The day I turned in the keys there were 2 other ladies in the office complaining about the same odor as me. The person who took the keys was extreamly rude to them. Telling that that that's just the way it is down here and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I've from here and I know mold when I smell it!!! It took weeks to get the interent working. Ruby said that I was lying bout this and that she was the one who got my internet working. She had nothing to do with my internet! Debra and Amanda tried. They even came to the apartment. They ended up switching companies and a serviceman came out and set it up! And now, I've been waiting for the refund of my $1450.00 deposit for 22 days PAST the 30 days that is in the contract. I was told by Ruby that it had been mailed to my old address(I gave them my new address the day I turned in the keys) Anyway, Ruby said that the check had been mailed the 3rd week in September and that I would need to give it a few more days to be forwarded to my new address and that Debra, the person who would have to contact the accounting department was out sick and would be back on Monday, Sept. 30. That was September 26, 2013. I call back today, October 2, to have Ruby tell me that Debra is not feeling well and that she, Ruby, would talk to her about it when she came in. Realizing that Ruby had lied to me I call back to try and speak to Amanda, the agent who leased the apartment to. Robin tells me that Amanda is out until later in the week and asks is there is anyone else I can speak with. I eventually get to speak to Debra.....yes, the same Debra who a few minutes earlier is out sick!!!!!!!! And believe it or not, Debra tells me that she was with a client when I called earlier and that she is NEVER out sick..... I have to wait ANOTHER WEEK to see if the check will be forwarded to me before the CEO Mary will stop payment on the check and reissue another....And she doesn't want to talk anout Ruby lying to me!!!! Bottom line is that these ladies are rude, dishonest and untrustworthy. The property that I rented from April to August was not worth the 1450.00/month that I paid. They have a tone of aggrevation when you call(after you've signed the lease) with anything that is in need of repair. NEVER RENT FROM THEM!!!!!!!! read more

We Rented a 3 bedroom duplex from Palm Bay. We left the home in good shape, Palm Bay says the owner claims we left tears in a leather recliner & charged us $269.54 for repairs. First of all recliner was not leather it was pleather or a fake leather. It showed signs of wear when we arrived plus during the time we were there fabric kept coming off the chair. If it were leather it wouldn't do that. I've called Palm Bay numerous times spoke with Mary McCoy twice & was referred to Debra Brock. Spoke to receptionist several times to leave word to speak to Debra Brock also asked for photos. Was told they would look into it & send photos. It's been a week & I have not had a return call from them nor have I received photos. I expect to receive photos & a copy from shop who did repair job so I can contact them to get their opinion about the susposedly tears. A poor way of doing business when it is automatically assumed you damaged something, then charge you for it & never even call to ask about it. Needless to say I would never recommend Palm Bay to anyone nor will we use their service again. Dianne Blodgett 209-747-4706 read more

Recently rented a vacation condo. Place is beautiful and exactly as pictured. Very close to the beach. However, customer service is lacking. The lock on the door was giving us trouble and on the 3rd day, it stopped working all together. The 2 keys that were given would not work. We called the realtor, it took over 30 minutes for someone to come. The "handy man" broke the window screen trying to get us in through the window, and he eventually broke the lock to let us in. We were locked outside for 1 1/2 hours with a crying 9 month old. Quite frankly, I do not even think they were concerned. Mary became rude when we asked if there would be any compensation. In addition, wireless internet was advertised, but realtor was unable to find condo folder with the network key. THEY ARE VERY UNORGANIZED. Be cautious if you choose to rent here. read more

Very disappointed by the management and service of this property. The condo itself was very nice. Our condo's (#605) washing machine had the hot and cold water reversed. When we washed a full load of laundry in what I thought was cold water turned out to be steaming hot the load was completely ruined. We brought this to managements attention have had an unsatisfactory response so far. Told we had to talk to person after person, but no one who will make this right. Hopefully, I will be able to repost a positive update. read more

Stayed in 102 over the Memorial Day weekend. It's a three bedroom house with three bathrooms boasts plenty of sleeping. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom no extras. No hand towels or washrags. One roll of paper towels went fast when there are no hand towels. Private BBQ but of course no propane so couldn't use when we got there even though we had stopped at HEB and planned to use. Rented the clubhouse for a birthday party and at our designated time to set up the place was a mess. Leftover food, butt prints on the windows, floors filthy and trash cans over flowing. The office could care less never did send anyone to help clean it up. You must have a key to get not only in the pool but Out of the pool. A terrible inconvenience when you have other people in the family trying to come and go from the pool house to the pool! Some lady monitoring the pool although she wouldn't let you in or out. Since holiday weekend you had to book for three days so the rental fee was quite a lot for such poor accommodations. Have been going there for several years since it is close to my relatives however each time gets more expensive and the service gets worse. Will look for other accommodations the next time we visit Padre Island. read more

On the weekend of October 7th-9th I rented two condos for our fishing tournament team. In my Stay at Palm Bay Village I was very displeased by the lack of organization and communication set forth during my stay. I will say that the two Condos that we rented were very well furnished and clean. The pool area was the BEST part of our stay. The pictures don't even do it justice. It was a Very quiet and clean property to say the least. My main issue with the property was the fact that we had NO TV during our whole stay. When I addressed the issue they sent a gentlemen to try and fix the cable/TV issue. He was not authorized to do anything with the account in which the TV was under. So when he left he said he would get with the office staff and get it sorted out and someone would contact me. I never heard another word from the staff until I called the front yet again. After speaking with the Manager, who lead me to believe she had no intention in fixing or resolving the issue. I still got nothing resolved. I have to say I was a little frustrated by then. I believe that when I booked the condos for our relaxing weekend. That my arrangements included a fully furnished Condo WITH A TV, Considering we had children. So that we didn't have to stare at the walls the whole weekend. Even if it was local channels...Not just a blank TV. The Manager never even contacted me back to discuss other avenues or resolutions. She just pretty much said she could not help me. It seems like every time I have called prior and until this day I have not gotten to speak to the same person twice. There seems to be no order or organization with the office when faced with an issue. This also includes Financial issues. I am very disappointed in the management of this complex. I understand that my one weekend is a small revenue to what they bring in through the year, But, when someone PAYS FOR SOMETHING and does not receive what is advertised. I feel like there should have been some kind of resolve and communication in this issue and the managing of your account. I am still just really frustrated with the whole ordeal and the very unprofessional customer service, that I have received up until today October 20, 2011. read more
