Great getaway, and location. Right on the beach.Close to many restaurants and activities.
Enjoyed stay. Everything I needed was at the studio. Kitchen had enough space for small family to cook. I recomrnend no more that 3 adults, or 2 adults with 2 children.
This condo had everything we needed and was right on the beach. A little snug so I wouldn’t go more than 2 people. The beach gear was so helpful and we enjoyed our time there.
Perfect small but cozy studio apartment right on the beach. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The only problem that we encountered Was that we left our jackets at home in Harlingen but the condo was perfect, the premise and common areas were clean and well maintained safe and secure. We had a wonderful time. We hope to be back.
This unit fit all of our needs regarding location, cleanliness, and amenities. I would 100% recommend this property to my friends and family and will revisit this if I'm in town in the future!

Very clean and comfortable place. Had all the fixings to cook, bake and eat with. Bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The kitchen and bathroom sink had great hot water but the shower did not, that is my only complaint is the shower had no hot water. They even supplied towels for the dog and a couple of old towels to use.
Easy to find, great location, close to lots of entertainment, dining and shopping!
Clean, great response time and amenities!
So many sea shells on the beach!
Our vacation in SPI was great. The condo was exactly as described and the extra beach items were very helpful. Thank you…we will be back.

Bed was okay, had to fight with the plug for the AC unit it kept coming unplugged because the outlet was so loose in the wall. The Hot Water Heater quit working for the first 3 days until it was replaced but it was Christmas. Didn't use the Balcony much because there's a Hot Tub on the Roof of the Building next door so there wasn't much privacy. The Exhaust Hood over the Stove needs replaced it was very loud. The pool and Hot Tub were closed until the day before we checked out which sucked and the WiFi didn't work.
I was station at the Coast Guard Station here in SPI 20 years ago. This eas a return trip with my husband and it was perfect. This was my first time back and it hasnt changed much. The condo was amazing. Wish i had a place luke this when I loved on the island.
Excellent location, clean grounds, and felt very safe. Our rental was very well equipped with everything we needed. Glitches with the AC and dehumidifier were the only downfalls, this could have been repaired quickly if communication with management responded.

I was bamboozled because the pictures that I saw online was nothing compared to what I ended up with. Don’t get me wrong, the room was okay but it was not what I saw online.

Hard to sleep, too much noise
The AC compressor was the loudest we have ever heard and the dehumidifier added to the noise by a banging sound when it went on and off. The only night we could sleep was when we lost power. I’d recommend both of these units be replaced before you try to rent this unit again.

Right on the beach!
This was a good space for a quick weekend getaway with the kids. The condo is right on the beach which was a huge selling point for us. There were no starter coffee filters but not a big deal. The biggest problem for us was that the blankets that my kids had to use for the pull-out smelled like urine. There were quite a few stained towels which we had to let them know about right away so you don't get charged for them. Also on our last night I felt something crawl across my face and when I looked on my pillow there was a roach. Luckily like I said it was our last night. We didn't really use the pool, it was small and crowded. The unit could definitely use some upgrades. The property manager and her husband were great though. Easy communication and he was on the beach and was so friendly.
