SPI Delight!

The facility and its location are both big positives. Their response to our needs is both professional and timely. The location is filled with items that aren’t typically found in most rentals ie tennis racquets and balls, a high chair and play pen and a fan just in case! This team has gone out of their way to make you visit memorable!

Great value and outstanding time of year.

Property was well maintained, clean, and with the exception of the sliding patio door 100% functional. This was our first VRBO experience, so we didn't have a history to draw from. We thought there would be washing soaps, hair, dish, and clothing. And, not wanting to bring down kitchen stuff, four, oil, etc we had to go to HEB or Walmart (a well stocked store). Apartment was missing some kitchen items like strainers, baking pans, and had the most eclectic set of cooking utensils ever. Overall, we managed, were comfortable, and will consider going back. One nice thing was that the off season was missing crowds, that is a good thing.

What an Amazing view!

Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing! The view of the ocean off the porch, to the amazing sunrises over coffee, the pictures do not do this unit justice! Everything from the grocery store to restaurants and bars are all within walking distance, to include the pier where we met our fishing guide! Hosts were amazing very quick to reply to any questions. This was the vacation I needed to unwind and it was everything advertised and more! Highly recommend you stop looking and book here! You won’t be disappointed!

Great location. Property very clean. Given wrong gate code so access was a little slow. Property manager was very responsive. Spectrum was out one whole evening. Turned out to be problem with electricity in building. TV in guest room does not work.

A Wonderful Stay!

Our rental condo was great…well stocked and in a beautiful location. Our hosts were super helpful, especially when the over-the-range microwave decided it had had enough. A temporary counter microwave was in place within 3 hours, which was awesome. We’ll definitely stay again if we venture back to SPI!

Excellent

We (me, spouse, two children and pet) stayed at the property in June 2024. The property was exactly as pictured except the washer and dryer have been upgraded and are nicer than those in the pictures. The location seemed to be in the center of everything on the island. The other thing not pictured is your front row seat for sunrises over the gulf. The balcony is the perfect place to take in that beautiful sight while enjoying a cup of coffee. The property also contains everything you need for a day on the beach and the owners are very responsive if you have any questions. The only drawback I could mention is that that one of the two elevators at the property was not working for our entire stay (but it still wasn’t a long wait) and sometimes the pool area gets noisy but it is closed at a reasonable time so it does not affect your ability to sleep. Both of those items are minor and outside the owners control. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Fabulous Condo on the Beach

We really enjoyed our stay in this condo. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Just about everything you need for a great vacation is provided. There are beach chairs, a wagon and cooler to take to the beach. The beach and ocean view was wonderful. I highly recommend this for your vacation and I hope to come back here on our next trip to SPI.

Excellent location, pet friendly, well kept and clean!

We had a marvelous time in this very nice condo. It’s so nice that beach towels and chairs are provided. We walked everywhere we went because we were in an excellent location. The owners are very responsive and management on site was very nice. If I had 1 complaint it would be the tiny thing they call a workout room on site which consists of cardio equipment and no free weights.

Love this property!!

This was our third time to stay in this unit. This property overall is so much better than any other property we have stayed in while visiting SPI. The service from the property management for this particular unit is spectacular. If you have any issues during your stay they are very quick to respond. They are also very responsive to any requests. The owners are also quick to respond to email communications. I would suggest adding some Pyrex baking dishes to the kitchen inventory. The property is very clean and the beds are comfortable. If I did have any negative things to say it would be about the gentleman who lives two floors above this unit. He is a chain smoker and it is sometimes uncomfortable sitting on the patio. The gentleman two floors above must live there full time as this was the same situation last year. However, that will not prevent us from returning to this property. We love it so much we have already booked for next year.
