What a wonderful condo on the beach! Exactly as described! We had everything we needed for our long anniversary weekend trip to SPI! The condo is very centrally located to all sorts of island activities. The beach access was extremely convenient! Really great walkable location! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for a beach weekend. The only negative item I would say about the condo was the bed wasn’t very comfortable. Just a standard queen mattress with springs. It was a bit hard on the back. A topper may have made it a bit better. It could use an upgrade. It wouldn’t prohibit me from staying again, I’ll just bring a mattress topper next trip. Last but not least, and this is really on me but the host communication was via email and not in the VRBO app. I actually missed an email with a rental contract that needed signing because the email went to spam. Again no fault at all on the host but I felt it was important to make future renters aware to be mindful of it! The host did respond to my many panicked requests for check in information. Just remember to check your emails and spam folders! 10/10 would stay again!

Perfect Vacation Spot

I loved this little apartment. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beach access couldn't be more convenient, and we had no issues. Because I never believe the all positive reviews - I didn't realize there was a regular coffee maker and a Keurig. Maybe I didn't read the listing close enough. The pool is not heated. This was a downside in February but probably a positive from March to October!

SPI stay

Stay was nice at the condo. The bed was absolutely horrible. I have never slept on such a bad bed. The mattress was firm and so used. The bed frame was squeaky and wobbly. A keurig would have been nice for coffee. The location on the beach was nice. There was an umbrella but it was a patio umbrella not a beach one.

Awesome stay!

This condo was perfect, it has everything you need for a beach trip, super well stocked. Perfect location really easy beach access. We never saw the pool or hot tub crowded. The beach was also not super crowded which was nice. The owner was very communicative when there was some tar on the beach and left supplies to help (fortunately we did not encounter any while there) but I love that they were prepared. Very cozy and quiet condo. Would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

Upon arrival around 3pm, the whole building was without water of any kind until after 6pm. This included flushing toilet, bathroom, kitchen and outside water to wash off if you were returning from beach. The owner, Laura did respond when I questioned it right away. The Condo was in an excellent location, with an extremely short walk to beach. The view from balcony was more of a half-view, but still pretty. The kitchen was well equipped along with toiletries. Would recommend for a couple, but the room is not big enough for more than 2 people at a time.

This is NOT beachfront. There is tiny balcony on the side of the building. which is mostly looking at the street and down the alley where dumpsters are kept. If you don't care about overlooking the ocean this place is for you.
