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!

Summer getaway

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!

Walk to the beach and enjoy the waves and sand

Nice place. Location is choice, walking to beach is simple. There is no pool heater when the description leads you to believe so. Overall nice place, with ocean right there. Wake up, walk to the beach and enjoy the waves and sand.

Great

This was a perfect stay for our family vacation. Six adults and 2 kids. Not only was the house plenty big but there were so many extras- games, the garage had ping pong and fooseball, fully equipped kitchen…. Pool with outdoor shower was a great way to end a beach day. Easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Annual Trip

Once again we enjoyed our annual stay at SPI. The house was lovely and pictures matched what we found. The only two things to note: the main floor bedroom is separate from all the others and has either an outdoor entrance (from the pool) or an entrance from inside the garage and the bunk room needs the bunks attached to the walls—extremely squeaky with the slightest movement. The outdoor kitchen could’ve been cleaner but overall we lived our stay.

Space & Pool

This house has everything you need. The three levels provided plenty of space for fifteen of us. The beds were comfortable. The outside pool area was a big hit with all ages. The best part is that the ocean is a very short walk to paradise! One suggestion we would make is to have an outside patio table so we could have ate and played cards outside while the kids swam.

Excellent

We had a great time. The seaside sanctuary is a beautiful and spacious house, and it's about as close to the beach as you can get without being literally beach front. Back yard pool, hot tub, and grills (flat top and "standard") were a real bright spot for evening relaxing. Reasonably clean and kitchen is well appointed, but knives and nonstick pans were in pretty rough shape. Tons of comfy beds, two dining seating areas, and a generous lounge/tv area for relaxing between adventures.

Review

We loved our home and the location. The pool and outdoor spaces were so lovely! That flattop grill was a hit! Just a short walk to the beach and access to chairs, cooler, umbrellas was the perfect addition. Could have advertised the home had some of the amenities in lieu of renting them. And the basement bedroom could use air conditioning. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay!
