Cozy little spot

The house was cozy and clean. Had access to a lot of stuff within walking distance. The host was extremely friendly and helpful from beginning to end with the booking process. My wife and I would definitely book this place again. Matter of fact we’re already talking about next vacation there next year.

Clean and close to beaches

Everything was clean but apon arrival it was pretty warm and 87 inside. Took along time for the air-conditioning to cool the apartment. Make sure you take ALL toiletries because they provide none. Take extra toilet paper we only had one roll for 2 people and a weeks stay. We loved the location.

Great proximity to everything but especially beach access

Small but comfortable space with everything we needed except some comfy outdoor chairs and an area to sit out for coffee. The bar behind us was far too close and loud but at least they shut down the live music at 10. We had lots of trouble with the code lock. Needs updating. We loved the area, the weather, beach walks and laid back feel of the island.

Great, comfy, close to the beach

Our stay was very calm and overall satisfying. Plenty of space for 4 of us. Kitchen is stocked very well. Check in process was easy. Walking distance to the beach. As others have stated there is a bar right behind property with music but we weren't really bothered by it. Couple of things I would have liked is an extra TV for the bedroom and a small rail for top bunk which I wasn't comfortable with my kids using. Other than that we loved it.

House

They need to replace one of the beach chairs. Ran out of toilet paper and dishwasher soap. The living room chairs should be cleaned or replaced. We really enjoyed our stay and the manager was very helpful. We had a very fast response and came over quickly to help. The kitchen was stocked very well.

A pool/bar facility behind the property made sleeping difficult until the facility's closing time on weekend nights. Window sills had not been cleaned in some time. Everything else was fine! Property manager responded promptly to our inquiries!

Could use help

First day there we had to wash dishes we wanted to use and clean out the refrigerator and freezer of left-over items. Took a showerstood in water up to my ankles. I had to go buy needle nose pliers to clean the tub drain of a large amount of hair. Sent a picture to host all I got was thanks a ton response. It worked for a first time but found we could have got more bang for less buck

Raised Eyebrow

This location on SPI, for the most part is excellent for beach access just a short walk away and for the amenities available. However, what the host does not tell you, is there is a bar directly behind the unit's only bedroom that plays live music until 10 - 10:30 each night. That's probably okay for the party person, but if you're used to going to bed early because you're a morning person, it presents a problem sleeping. Additionally, the hot water for bathing and showering is limited to an on demand tankless system that often leaves you with Luke warm shower and hand sink water. Forget taking a bath. You had to let it run for an inordinate amount of time. Lastly, Sonia, our manager in reporting our hot water problem only communicated by email and appeared defensive and argumentative. "Not Good," when you're the customer.

Ok place at the beach

The place was well located. It was in need of some updates but for the price to was fine. Had 2 issues with the place. First the cleaning staff forgot to come back and make the beds and distribute the towels. Second toilet did not flush right. Both issues were addressed quickly by the house keeping manager.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for showing interest in our condo.

I am a simple person who likes spending time with family and get-away to a beach every opportunity our family gets. We live in Dallas, TX and have called Texas home for more than 20 years.

We have a small family. Our family treasures simple moments in life and time spent together. Our style is simple, elegant and comfortable. I like hosting friends and family and would like an opportunity to be your host for your next simple, comfortable and relaxing vacation.

I assure you that our small, elegant and comfortable condo will be the perfect place to make your next vacation memories.

Best Regards,
Sonia Shah.

Why they chose this property

Our family likes spending time on the beach and had always wanted to get a beach condo. We were looking for something that was simple and within walking distance to the beach.

We wanted our condo to be on the ground floor as our elderly parents would not have been able to climb the stairs and my sister (who has a small baby in stroller) would have had trouble lugging stroller up and down the stairs.

This condo is on the ground floor and is at a perfect location for long beach days!!. It is just a short walk across the street to the nearest beach access, so walking back for food, drinks, and restroom breaks is a non-issue—IT IS GREAT TO BE SO CLOSE!.

Not to forget you get your own parking this close to the beach when you rent our condo. This is perfect during the peak season when finding a public parking becomes a great hassle.

What makes this property unique

The condo is located on Retama street next to the greatest restaurant on the beach, The Palms! Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served and if you happen to be out on the beach lounging it is perfect for refreshments too. There are lost of restaurants and shopping in walking distance from the condo.

The condo location as ideal location on the island since it is sandwiched between the southern entertainment district and the northern quiet district.

Spend your mornings swimming, kite-boarding, and surfing in the Gulf of Mexico, and take evening walks on the beach to watch the summer fireworks. The marina is less than 5 mins drive where you can rent boats or go for Dolphin watch and Sunset Cruise.

The north end of the beach offers adventure activities, horse back riding on the beach and you can also drive your vehicle on the beach sand!.

There are also plenty of options for fishing - Surf Fishing, Pier Fishing, Bay Fishing, Deep Sea fishing. Great for spending quality time with your kids.
