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.

4th of July week
The parking immediately on property was very limited- across the street was good. We drove a midsize SUV & realized it was NOT drive-thru lot. A very tight fit for our new car. us A lady pulled rt behind us & we realized it was too tight for us to park, we politely asked her to roll back to let us out. She refused!!!! SHE told us we were fine - SHE has an SUV & can park there & she was NOT moving. OKAY.. so after maneuvering very tight to our liking, we made it in. The lady in the vehicle gave us our parking pass. Disappointed to know this was an OWNER?Not a good 1st impression. Went up to the room, changed to go down to the beach... NO ACCESS AT OUR LOCATION. Nope! The city was dredging up sand from the ocean and pumping it onto sand to prevent/resist erosion. Seriously! There were signs posted in elevator letting residents/visitors know this was going to be happening for many days. We were never forewarned. It was not landlord's fault, but a HEADS UP or DISCOUNTED rate would have been a kindness. We booked this place bc of it's location- ON THE BEACH... so we had to wagon it down to a beach access road all week long. Disappointed to say the least after a 5 hr drive, and booking several months out. The room was clean, refrigerator is small, FYI, so check size before buying any perishables (frozen pizzas, bag ice.) The pillows- like pancakes!! $20 in pillows could make the visit better. We went & bought our own.

Great little place!
My cousin and I stayed for an extra long girls' weekend in Feb and were extremely pleased with the accommodations. It is very small, but it's all we needed. The view from the balcony is great and the extras that the hosts provide (keyless entry, beach chairs, small cooler, beach umbrella, beach towels, soft bedding, etc) make you feel safe and right at home. We would absolutely stay again if given the opportunity.

We came to visit my son who works at Spacex. We enjoyed being able to gather & eat together when he got off work. We hung out on the beach or at the pool while he was at work during the day. One day it was windy & cold so we went up town to shop. Very convenient to everything!! Will stay again for sure!
