Overall the location is great but the condo itself was less then great. Quick access to the beach was the only GREAT feature, however this was known to us when we booked, as we have stayed at the Sea Vista Condos in the past.
Several things to review at this point.
1. Cleanliness - We arrived at the scheduled time that our property stated to be ready, yet still located trash from the previous party within the condo and was advised the linens would be dropped off at a later time as they were not ready. Within the first 30 minutes of being in the condo we located a small roach, which was unexpected, as in our previous stays in other rentals we had not experienced this. As we progressed through our stay, we located roaches in the restroom as well as crawling on the walls. We sprayed and killed what we could. There was also ants and other small insects within the rental.
2. Air circulation - Poor quality. There are no fans within the rooms; therefore remember to bring your own fan as we had to purchase our own while there. If you close any doors to the rooms, it becomes stuffy and very uncomfortable at night.
3. Nightly pool usage - during the day the pool is very pleasant, noise level is minima off even there. At night, this changes drastically. Large parties at the pool, loud and very inconsiderate of others who’s ground floor rooms have patio access or doors/windows facing the pool.
4. Sprinklers - Use caution when leaving items on the patio as the sprinklers spray directly onto the patio leaving anything left out, a wet mess in the mornings. This was terrible as we had our items left to dry, not known if this occurred, to be dry to pack into our car before departure.
At the end of this stay, I don’t believe we will rent with SPI Rentals in the future. Our previous rentals were done directly through the condo owner versus a rental company, I would recommend direct dealing with property owners versus a rental company.
