Too small for 4

Location was great. Beach access is about the easiest it can get. The condo is too small for 4. There wasnt enough space to move around. You will find yourself standing if someone else is moving around. We easily ran out of toilet paper. We came prepared will plenty of beach stuff. Whats there is very minimal. Good overall

Great studio on the beach!

We had a wonderful stay in this studio that had direct beach access, a pool and a hot tub on site. The only disappointment was finding out this beach has naturally occurring tar which you have to scrub from your feet after every beach walk or visit. That was a bit of a letdown but overall we had a great time!

Great little condo

The condo was clean. We struggled getting the direct tv going. I would ask the host to provide better instructions on how to get that going. I would also ask the host to get some kind of foam mattress cushion to add the the sofa couch. Plenty of basic necessities like dishes and cooking utensils they even had basic beach items like chairs towels and an umbrella. I would definitely stay here again.

Gulf View

Everything about the booking was seamless. Laura and Judy answered every question immediately which made the 3 day stay perfect. There is a beautiful view of the gulf from the patio where you can enjoy breakfast and lunch on the furniture provided. Everything was clean, in its place and easy to find. Access to the beach is immediate from the covered parking lot and thru the pool area. Plenty food options one street across and easily walkable. Highly reccommend for any couple wanting a few days relax with no hassle. TY SPI Condo Ladies

Spring Break 2024

We had a fantastic time in SPI. The condo is a tight fit for a family of 4 and a dog but definitely doable. It was clean and well-stocked. Location can’t be beat! Extra security paid for by the building during Spring Break was also greatly appreciated, and the owners were very responsive! Highly recommend this condo.

The studio condo had everything we needed. It was the best location-steps from the beach! The condo was supplied with everything you need to have a great time. We stayed for about a month with our dog, and it couldn’t have been better! I’d definitely book this location again.
