Great little getaway! The condo itself was really nice. It was stocked with everything we could have needed pots & pans, shampoo & conditioner, and even beach supplies. The host always responded right away

We had problems using the key code getting into the place. We contacted the owner and he had us use the key from the lock box. The kitchen had no paper towels or napkins. Couldn’t find the garbage bags for the large garbage container. The closet in the master bedroom was filled with boxes & vacuums so we couldn’t use the floor for shoes or luggage. The bed was not comfortable- we kept rolling to the middle. There was no welcoming book to give instructions on how to use the TV s- there were 3 different remotes for the main TV. We eventually figured it out. I had to call the owner to find out what was required of us upon checking out. We were here Jan22-29 & the weather was cold so we had to turn the heat up to 77 degrees, but the floors being tiled, were so cold! More rugs on floors in-the kitchen & bedroom-would be helpful.

Above and beyond

The property looked just like the pictures! It was easy to find and check in! The property was well stocked with any kitchen accessory you would need to ease your stay and not have to eat out. Was comfortable and clean. There was a closet full of stuff to take with you on a beach day- wagon, chairs, etc. It made our first visit to SPI that much more comfortable and easy! The pool was so inviting and fun. We caught all kinds of fish right of the dock! Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Reset

I hadn’t been back in 2 years! This was exactly what I needed to reminisce in my home town! Thank you for such a great experience and thank you for being so understanding at checkout! Will definitely stay again unless I am able to move back with my family. Hosts are very accommodating and respond quickly to any issues! Thank you again!
