Studio Condo

This condo is updated and has everything you need to enjoy your stay on SPI. The host took care of anything we needed promptly, and made sure everything was stocked that we needed for an enjoyable stay. We had easy beach access and could walk to restaurants and stores. We stayed for 2 months and enjoyed it very much!

Could have been a great experience...

The unit was not clean, The AC was broken, and communication and concern about the broken AC with the host was poor. A solution was provided several hours later only after I had already booked a non-refundable stay at another hotel. It seemed that I was not taken seriously. The location to the beach was fantastic and instructions for check in was easy. I hope the host will increase communication to resolve issues as this would have greatly improved my experience.

The room was clean the host answered only one time when she didn’t know who I was , I arrived at midnight was sent to the wrong room without a view when I actually paid for an ocean front balcony, I called the host and explained that I wanted to be put in the room I paid for , she told me to call in the morning because it was late…. I said ok.. and I stayed in the wrong room for that night, well, done this morning when I called back because she said she would put me in the right room, She never answered again. I called her seven times in one day and she did not answer me… I left her 10 messages. She never got back to me. She was not going to put me in the right room. She saved my number and whenever I called, she did not answer me. I paid for this reservation lost all my money because in the morning I got up and I left after trying to call her 10 times I realize she’s not gonna put me in the right room so I left and I never got my money back, this hostnot reliable

Misleading SPI ladies

The ad for this condo says beachfront. While the building is on the beach you are on the other side with a "view" of the beach if you go out on the 4x4 patio and stick your head out over the rail and look to the left. The language used by the host is threatening. We will fine you this and charge you for that. I was looking forward to a relaxing stay, but had to sleep on a rock hard bed. The cement bench was actually more comfortable. If you like staring at a building wall then this is the place for you. I will avoid SPI ladies for all future bookings in the future.

Advertising is lacking accuracy

The place was small, floors were dirty and the bed and couch were dilapidated. Tired and not happy. Watch out for the board. We were threatened with a fine when my handicapped husband parked in handicap parking. The Jeep was on the red line.

Its a nice little spot, nothing fancy, nothing bad... exactly what we needed for a quick getaway. Don't expect to cook a big meal or lounge in luxury... Just a small space to grab some sleep between activities. Overall a great experience

Return trip after 20+ years

My daughter and I drove from Arkansas to see Port Isabel and South Padre Island for the first time in 20 years. Perfect accommodations for us. The studio condo had everything we needed. It was super clean and comfortable. Would love a return trip...but not waiting another 20 years!

Nice little condo

Wife and I really enjoyed the condo. Condo was small but perfect for the 2 of us. Very easy beach access. We did not use the pool, but it looked nice and well maintained. We had one minor issue when the toilet tank just stopped refilling. One call and the problem was repaired in a timely manner. Overall we were extremely satisfied with our stay
