Excellent staff and location

SPI Rental staff were excellent. House I stayed in was spacious and clean. It was well-stocked with everything I needed. The water in the kitchen takes a long time to get hot. The yard really needs to be cleaned up. Everything else was fine and I am looking forward to staying there again next year. It's close to the beach and within walking distance to most restaurants.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
We chose the house because it was close to the beach and because of the space, HOWEVER one room was so tiny it made you feel like you were in a cell.it didn’t seem that way in the pictures. One room was at the bottom, which is not stated on the listing. It states it can sleep 17, it can not.at best semi comfortable possibly 11. Restroom downstairs was dirty. The restroom upstairs smelled liked sewer.The house needs a lot of updating. The patio furniture was dirty so we couldn’t use it. There was no ice mallet. The check in process was a bit tedious after having to talk with someone at the office and explain we wouldn’t make it by 11pm our first night and the next morning we still had to show up in person at the office. Makes it so difficult to book. We only enjoyed being able to walk to the beach.

The house is nice. The floors are badly done. Every bed was so hard. We could not sleep comfortably. One bed is a thin cushion on futon bars, horrible. One bedroom is actually then size of a jail cell. 1 twin bed fits and that's it, it should say 3 bedroom.

La ubicación de la casa está excelente, tienes a unos pasos el acceso a la playa y cerca de bares y restaurantes. La casa estaba limpia y ordenada. Solo las camas, a excepción de la cama que está en el 1er piso son un poco incómodas fuera de eso el alojamiento es muy bueno.

Home

Were excited to arrive. First the house was not given to us til 20 minutes later. We were ok since we walked to the beach because it was super close. The cleaning crew said they would be back to pick up the trash because the trash can was full, that never happened. They left the bottom room really wet and my child had a bad fall, was furious over that. The house needs repairs. Was told that the repair man would come by to fix it. The kitchen counter under the sink was missing a whole cover. The kitchen had small roaches. While I was cooking they were coming out from under the stove. Was really grossed at that. There were roaches in the restrooms and the kitchen floor. The master bedroom closet doors were broken, the restroom toilet paper holder was broken, the shower water handle was missing a knob to turn the water to hot or cold which was hard to turn. The hallway closet door was also broken. There were cables on the corners in the living room and bedroom. The outside patio deck by the kitchen was loose. We felt unsafe walking on the deck because it's rotten. Don't expect to have a good night sleep because the mattresses were horrendous. The master bedroom mattress felt like cardboard. It squeaked every time you moved, solid card board. The other rooms had very thin mattresses. They were no extra covers or blankets so bring your own. They did have towels, one for each, no extras. The backyard grass needed to be cut so on the Monday when we're packing the yard guy shows up. I rented the house because the first reviews talked highly of it but I wouldn't stay there again for that price.
