This location was great, we were right across the street from the beach, an 8 minute walk to great breakfast and coffee at the Grapevine and a really cool custom ice cream sandwich shop.

Easy Access to the Beach! Literally across the street. So easy to run back to the house to fix lunch or grab more beach needs! Lots of locations to rinse off sand with a family of 9! The kitchen is stocked for 12 or so. Lots of pots/pans. If you have a large group to cook for, bring your own large cookware; there was one 9x13 and one cookie sheet. No Keurig. The odd small BR opens off upstairs hallway w/no AC; bring a fan. The downstairs BR area was perfect for our couple with small dogs. Backyard access right there for ease of potty trips. Be aware of gaps in the fence; you might want to keep them on leash. The balcony off the living room has a great view of the beach, with the added bonus of Louie’s fireworks on Tues/Fri nights! A member of our party left behind a medical device. SPI Rentals was very easy to work with regarding retrieval of the item and fast return shipment. This was very appreciated! This property is one we will definitely choose again for our entire family.

I put this reservation in months in advance, but the yard was not taken care of and infested with ants. The only able and furniture were all wobbly and used screws that did not properly secure the furniture. The dishwasher flooded when we tried to use it. They offered to put in a work order on our third day, but by then, my son’s birthday party was over the day before. I would say this house does not comfortably fit 11-15 people. The inspector was rude to my mother in law when we arrived, and left really quickly when I tried to speak with her or ask any questions before entering the house. They then cast blame on me for not accepting the work order, when half of these issues could have been fixed at least a month before we arrived. This specific house was not worth the drive from Denver, CO.

The home accommodated my family. Great view from the balcony early in the morning with a cup of coffee. I loved that there were 3 Bathrooms, plenty of towels, and spacious home. I highly recommend using this place. We had one issue which was the fridge wouldn't stay loses all the way, but the SPI team came out and fixed it in a timely manner. *Clean *Spacious *Beach Access(2-3 min walk) *Tv in every room *Host was very responsive *respect and and friendly. Thank you for hosting my family. I look forward to using y'all again.
