Nice and quiet
I enjoyed staying in the nice and quiet neighborhood of Tortuga bay. I appreciated the fact that it was in a gated community and felt like it was safe and secure within the complex. Would stay here again.

A beautiful view
This condo has wonderful decor, is impeccably clean and very spacious, with a beautiful view of the Bay, The check in was easy and the property management company was very helpful with all of our questions. The pool is lovely and relaxing. One quirky item; the gate code we were given didn't work. We were provided a remote control to open the gate, which was fine for one vehicle, but with more than one car, it can be a bit tricky, I would still recommend this place for a very enjoyable stay.

Poor cleanliness
Our kids room had dog hair and blood stains on the bedding. The listing says no dogs allowed so we picked this because my son is allergic to dogs. We didn’t realize until the third night after he was broken out in a rash. I had to reach out to the property manager the next day around 10:30 after the complaint was made the previous night. I expected a call but never received one. We won’t be staying at this property again due to the cleanliness issue and my son breaking out in hives. After spending over two thousand dollars I expected better service.

Great condo!
We loved this condo and will definitely stay again! We brought our boat, so having a boat slip with the co do was a huge plus for us! There wasn’t a lot of people staying there so the pool and property was very quiet which we loved! Right off the main strip so we were in walking distance of everything! 10/10

Very nice clean place to stay
The property was very nice and clean. It has a private entrance which was a must for us in these covid times. No lobbies, or elevators, or common areas to travel through for access. It is a 3-story unit so be prepared for lots of trips up and down stairs. It was a very nice stay!

Fabulous condo with amazing views of the bay!
I am always weary of booking online without seeing the property, but this place did not disappoint! Small, gated condominium community across the street from the beach (2 block walk) with fabulous views of the bay. Perfect for fishing families with a boat or kayak. Condo was spotless and we loved the beautiful pool. Very quiet community, we practically had the pool to ourselves. This will be our go to place to stay in SPI for years to come!
