Over all great place for a big family.

Great place. Very spacious. The only two bad things were too many stairs and pool was way too small too. Pro that it had 3 fully bathrooms.

Great family vacation!

We were very happy with this condo! We traveled with four adults and two kids. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The condo was very nice and clean. The location was perfect for us: close to stores and restaurants and just a short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

Fun for the family

It was fun the property need some fixing. The hot tub didn't work and there a few broken tiles, but the biggest scare was the nail pops on the decks. The place was clean and fun to stay at .

Nice Place to Stay

Spacious master bedroom with double sink and balcony. Cushion on balcony chair needs replacement. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is a huge plus! Washer and dryer in condo helps after being at the beach, but could use some cleaning. Nice dining table but large along with couches so it reduces the living room space. The kitchen had many of the necessary cook and bakeware. When we arrived, we noticed two refrigerators in the unit. Come to find out the main refrigerator was not working, so a loaner was added before we arrived. A technician did stop by to fix the main refrigerator, but it was near the end of the trip. The property managing office was always accessible and very helpful.

Perfect Location and Price

My group and I had a lovely time in SPI and our accommodations were perfect for our group of 7 adults. We were located in an area that we could have walked to most of the places we visited. It was very clean and smelled fresh. Pool on site was smaller than we thought it’d be but it was nice and clean we still enjoyed it. Would definitely stay here again!

Summer vacation

The place itself was wonderful, super close to the beach and very comfortable to sleep. The "living quarters" were tight with not enough chairs at the table or couches for the number of people it sleeps. But it was incredibly clean and super close to the beach. The outside of the property (pool area) left much to be desired, but we spent all of our time at the beach and the beach was amazing!

Lots of Stairs

Pleasantly surprised there were paper towels, dish soap, towels and linens, coffee and filters, and shampoo and conditioner. The property is 3/4 of a block to the beach entrance. We took the vehicle most days. Took the wagon from there. Just easier for us. It was definitely walking distance but we had a canopy. There was plenty of seating for everyone in common area. TV was airplay compatible and hookup right up to iPhone and iPad. A first floor balcony overlooking the pool and upstairs balcony outside of the master bedroom with partial bay and gulf views. While in the pool we had a perfect view of the city fireworks display- it felt like our own show. Walking distance to shopping dining and entertainment. Highly recommend Louie’sBackyard. Great food. Had to climb stairs if you are impaired. Lots of noise on weekends from entertainment district. Hot tub had a BIG first step. Will definitely be back.
