Awesome service and communication.
Great house. Excellent location. One issue with the hot tub not heating, messaged SPI, they had someone out within an hour to fix. Awesome service and communication.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home, the amazing pool, and the convenient location close to both the beach and the main entertainment district.
We're especially grateful for your kind words about our team. Providing responsive communication and making the booking process as easy as possible is something we take great pride in.
Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing SPI Rentals. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to South Padre Island again soon!
The house was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked. The only complaint we had was that the floors need a good cleaning. If you walked around the house without shoes our feet were black and the white handrail to go upstairs appeared to be dirty. Nothing a deep clean or maybe some touch up paint couldn’t fix. Overall we enjoyed the property and would definitely stay there again.

Great location with large, well maintained pool
Location of this home is great! The private pool was large and well maintained. The size of the home was perfect for our large family gathering. SPI Rentals responded immediately when called for a maintenance issue and resolved the problem.
House was clean, spacious, and a great location. The pool area was great.

My family booked this beach house to enjoy the pool and unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy it. The filter/blower was out and the water was stagnant and very warm. The hot tub was pouring into the pool. They did send the maintenance team but there was a part that needed to be ordered to complete the repair. The outside kitchen was very dirty/everything was rusted and the hibachi grill did not work. The outside patio ceiling fan also didn’t work. The 1st floor bedroom is a bit excluded from the house itself. Every flush from upstairs would wake us up at night and was very loud as if the water is falling from the ceiling. Poor insulation.It is a close walk to the beach so the location is great.

Disliked: Check-in
I will say we have stayed at several internet rental homes and have never encountered some of the things we did at this rental. Even after receiving a confirmation of a 4pm check in, on the day of our arrival, the cleaning crew had just gotten there to clean and we were told one more hour. After a long day of travel, with kids, one more hour wasn't really an option for us...We contacted the rental management company, and came to the agreement that they would keep doing the cleaning but we were going in the house while they finished. One of the key features that made us devide on this rental was the hot tub. The hot tub did not work when we got there. They did get it fixed by the end of the second day, and we received a small reimbursement, but was still a disappointment. I would say the pictures of the outside living area were a little deceiving. We were excited to use the outdoor kitchen, as advertised, but the whole area was pretty dirty. The black mold on the wall underneath the cooktop was definitely the biggest turn off... A good cleaning would go a LONG way in that area. The inside of the house was spacious, and comfortable for a big group. The beds were comfortable, and the interior was pretty clean. However, on our first morning when we opened the dish cupboard to get plates, there was a cockroach crawling up the back of the cupboard. That was the only one we saw, but again, very off putting. The very SHORT walk to the beach was probably the very best part!!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the spacious and comfortable home, especially the convenient walking distance to the beach. We'd like to clarify that while our housekeeping team was still finishing up at the scheduled 4 PM check-in time, you were given access to the home at 4 PM, and cleaning was completed just nine minutes later, at 4:09 PM. We apologize for that brief delay and understand that arriving after a long day of travel can be tiring. Regarding the other concerns mentioned, our team worked to address each issue brought to our attention during your stay, including getting the hot tub repaired, and fair compensation was provided for the inconveniences experienced. We take cleanliness and guest comfort seriously and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can continue improving. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother and more enjoyable stay in the future!

Perfect fit for our family
Loved the house. It was a perfect fit for our family. The pool was excellent big enough for our family. We had some minor problems but as always SPI always comes to the rescue.
5 minutes from the beach and students played in the game room down stairs.

Absolutely Loved It
Very spacious, very beautiful home. My family and I had a GREAT time. The pool is awesome, the kids enjoyed it. Recommend this lovely home and definitely will be back..
This was a great place to stay. The highlight about this place would have to be the pool and the shower outside. I absolutely love the fact that a shower existed outside by the pool and it was so spacious. Also, the items in the garage to use at the beach were extremely helpful. Wonderful stay!

Awesome stay
We had an awesome stay. This was our first time using SPI and we had an excellent time. My checkin was smooth no issues. We were a large group that had more than four cars and the staff answered all our questions on where we can park without having any issues. We were only a very short walk to the beach. The house was great, we would stay here again!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We enjoyed hosting you and look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay in the future! Best, Ashleigh T., General Manager - SPI Rentals
