It was amazing

I can't begin to tell you what a beautiful place this is. It has a panoramic view of the Gulf and the bay. We had 7 women from Nebraska and no one complained about anything. You have so much room you can get lost in the penthouse, which you wanted to do with 7 women. We all loved it and want to come back next year. Thanks for the memories.

Be informed before you book this unit.

We were very disappointed with this unit. The location and views were great, but other than that, it appeared to be a unit for Spring Breakers who don’t care about anything but a bed to sleep in. We found numerous unsafe maintenance issues when we arrived including a rigged electrical power cord, a wall socket with no cover and a shower that didn’t work. The only GFI outlet is in one of the five bathrooms..not even one in the kitchen. The furnishings are very old and shabby with flat cushions and only one TV that had been updated. The walls, ceiling and wall moldings appeared to be original to the unit and had many holes and were dirty. Bathroom cabinets and doors had holes and rotted boards. The pool was supposed to be heated but was cold, and there were only six lounge chairs for the whole building. Overall, the unit showed a complete lack of attention and is certainly not a luxury property.

SPI Penthouse July 2023

Overall we we enjoyed the roominess and how clean the apartment was. However, 1. Key code did not work on arrival. Had to wait in hot conditions for key code to be changed. 2. Master BR was locked. Took over an hour to have it unlocked which further delayed planned activities. 3. Beach access is not conducive for handicap or elderly even with beach handicap wheelchair provided by the SPI fire department. 4.New tile floors are very slippery and hard to walk on. 5.BR ceiling fan remotes are not connected correctly. One remote effects the adjoining BRs. 6. Bathrooms do not have place to hold towels 7. 4:00 PM check in time is not conducive to planning other activities for date of arrival and entry delays totally destroyed planned activities for that day. 8. We were permitted later check out time when we asked. 9. Building staff was very friendly and as helpful as they could be.

Clean and spacious, gorgeous views

Gorgeous views of both the Gulf and the Bay, all at the same time, from the very spacious living area with multiple balconies. Check-in and check-out were easy, and minor technical issues resolved quickly and efficiently. The unit was very clean and spacious, great for extended families or large groups. Our only critique was that in the bedrooms, while there was plenty of hanging space for clothes, there was a notable absence of drawer space.

Increíble departamento

Increíble departamento, hermosas vistas, muy buena ubicación, todo muy acogedor y en excelente estado. Lo que mejoraría, agregar sillas en las terrazas para disfrutar de esas hermosas vistas en el exterior y algunos artículos de playa para uso de los huéspedes. Una de las habitaciones no cuenta con baño dentro del cuarto, sería ideal en una remodelación contemplar un baño para comodidad de ese cuarto. Excelente servicio de SPI Rentals, todo muy sencillo y ágil para cotización, reserva, y entrega del departamento. Nos encantaría poder regresar a ese departamento.

Togetherness with privacy as well.

We lived this property for a family reunion. Beautiful view with easy access to the beach. Enough room for all of us to be together and yet we each had our bedroom and bathroom. We happened to hit good weather and it was fantastic!

Exceptional for Large Families

We stayed for three nights for our yearly family vacation that we take during the New Year holiday season. We have a large family with kiddos ranging in ages from 25 down to 8 years old and we often run into the problem of finding a VRBO that doesn't feel like we are packed in on top of each other. This unit was so inviting, clean, spatious and perfect for our family of 9. Each of our kids had their own bed and sleeping area - the kids room with multiple bunks, bean bags and the theater room were a huge hit - not to mention the space for everyone to be able to be in the kitchen together and have a comfortable place to sit. The location is perfectly situated within walking distance to many fun attractions, shops and restaurants. We had one issue with the gate not opening but the property management company was quick to address and fix the issue. The grounds were being worked on but the workers were very kind and courteous! My younger kids absolutely LOVED the pool area and were thrilled to see the snails and small lizards. I would highly recommend this unit for larger families or groups.

The unit was spacious, the view was spectacular! A few gripes I have is the stained furniture and hair on the floor throughout the unit. If I'm getting charged for a cleaning service, and so did the previous renters, I should have walked into a clean floor.

Great views, nice grounds and pool. Very comfortable.

The property was as advertised, and the views and balconies were great. The pool and grounds were nice, and the beach access was easy. The layout was great, with bedrooms separated from the living areas, and very comfortable all around for our group. Kitchen was well equipped.

Excellent location, gorgeous views!

Excellent location. Perfect fit for 4 families. Gorgeous views. We were able to check in little early and check out timing was flexible if you request. Induction stove top was little tricky to use at least for us (we had to call maintenance to find out how it works) and we couldn't get dishwasher to work properly because of the fit. I would recommend putting some hand soap in kitchen , air purifiers in bathrooms. Dinnerware could be upgraded to ceramic instead of plastic. For a condo this big, kitchen needs a bigger trash bin.

The accommodations were beyond wonderful! This has one of the best floor plans for a large group of people. There are plenty of places to sleep and lots of showers and bathrooms. The huge front living area and kitchen allow for groups to visit and be together but have areas for separate things to occur at same time. One of the highlights is standing in the main living area and being able to see the bay and the beach at the same time!

Modern remodel with great views

This property was excellent. While the building is older, it has been redone and they’ve included so many comforts. Beautiful kitchen with huge island/bar with a hidden playroom underneath. Spacious, relaxing living area with lots of bathrooms and great views. The only downside to this property is the low water pressure.

Wonderful!

We had an amazing time! Beautiful penthouse condo on the 10th floor with room for everyone! Two large living areas, theater room with projector, beautiful gulf views, large well stocked kitchen with island, plenty of beds and 6 bathrooms! We had 3 couples in our party and thoroughly enjoyed our time here! They do provide you with small travel side soaps and toiletries, we brought extra paper towels and toilet paper. If you plan to eat at the condo you will need to supply your own spices, etc but we knew that before we came. We did have one very minor maintenance request while there and they were quick to respond and repair! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Beachfront Condo

Where do I begin. From the great ocean views to the beauty of the penthouse, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at. Plenty of space and plenty of luxury and comfort. Also the check in and check out process is easy and not complicated. Almost feels as it's more difficult to schedule a hotel than a condo. Me and my family loved it and will be returning for further vacations. Thank you!

Wonderful Stay

Had a great experience with SPI Rentals. Staff are well versed and provided excellent customer service. They were also very welcoming upon arrival for our check-in. Penthouse #3 was amazing. It is spacious, beautiful and the kitchen fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals from induction pots and pans to a Vitamix. The bedrooms are large and the beds comfortable. The bunkhouse room was a big hit with the grandkids as well. The view was beautiful for both the gulf and beach sides. We had a great little vacation and would definitely stay here again.
