Perfection

My family of 11 + dog had the best time staying here for 8 days. The best location on the island, so close to the beach you don’t need a car. The home was very clean, comfy beds and pillows, bbq pit was easy to use, huge refrigerator, all the kitchen accessories you need, plus full size washer and dryer. The owner was very nice and reassured us if we needed anything he was just a call or text away.

Nice Accomodations & Great Communication

We had a group that was attending a conference at SPI and this was a great match for us. The accommodations fir our needs, the communication from the host was terrific, and check-in and check out were both smooth. I'd definitely stay here again.

Octagon on Capricorn

House was spacious and family enjoyed the convenience to the beach. One down fall was the entrance to the home was up a flight of stairs, was difficult getting coolers and suitcases into the house. But overall a very nice place to rest and explore the Island.

The property was as we expected. Very short walk to the beach.

The only 2 suggestions I have would be to upgrade the bedding, mattresses and mattress pads and add a couple frying pans, casserole dishes and covered storage dishes. To the owners benefit, a garbage disposal would help when doing dishes.

Very Average

Our stay at this location was very average. Place needed some cleaning in the bathrooms especially the one in the garage. Only one bedroom had a dresser. The location is better suited for college clientele to have a party weekend. I will definitely stay here again. Thanks, Rey G

Exactly what we wanted

Two of us spent 6 days here to quarantine/work, it was exactly as described. The place is large if you have several people, it will be great. Super clean, it has a de-humidifier which makes a HUGE difference. The pool was sparkling clean and the garage access, bathroom and fridge were perfect. Also literally a 2 minute walk to the beach. We liked it so much, we looked to book it again this summer and it's already all booked up! Getting access was clear/easy. Keep in mind the gates to the back don't have locks, so don't keep anything outside, we put our stuff in the garage during the day/night. One thing to note, the quality of mattresses and sheets are not great, so if you have any kind of aches/pains, you may want to make note of that. Will definitely book again, it was just the quarantine vacation we needed!

Perfect for a family trip

A great place to stay with kids; close to the beach and with a good sized pool. There’s also plenty of seating in shaded areas around the pool. Would recommend.

Christmas Stay

We had a great time. The location was perfect. The kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils, as well as with plates, bowls, and utensils. There wasn’t a dishwasher, but that wasn’t a big deal. Our family enjoyed our Christmas at the beach.

Recommendations

The property was great and the check in was a breeze. He is trying to update more items in time. The house could use a dishwasher, when on vacation dishes are not on the agenda. Showers are small, but are going to be remodeled. Need more cooking utensils and storage containers. Curtains on the windows to block out security lighting and 7 am wakeup call, too early for a vacation. We would reccomend to anyone, and will use again for our family

Octagon on SPI

The octagon on Capricorn was only a short walk to the beach and a quick drive to several shops. The owner was responsive when we ran into a small issue. That being said the house is outdated and in need of an overhaul. We like to prepare our own meals when on vacation. However this kitchen is lacking basic utensils ,towels and space . We also had to wash most everything prior to use. The kitchen light works on it’s own schedule. During our stay we encountered several roaches. In addition, there were no instructions regarding the dehumidifier, which we had to empty several times, or the tv. The pool man showed up randomly one morning and thankfully our dogs were in the house because he left the gate wide open. The pool bath was unusable and dirty. The pool and proximity of the beach were the highlights of this property. This house was not up to the standards we expect.

Great place!!!

Great place, plenty of space for 10. Everything is close by, especially the beach. The only thing was that the garage is too small and my Ford Explorer did not fit in. I would love to see a gold cart option at this property as it’s the only thing that would fit in the garage. Ok. A small car would fit through the garage door. Other than that this property was great. Had a great time!!! Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Roberto Comisarenco

I'm an Industrial Engineer, specialized in Manufacturing Systems. Originally from Argentina, but a local resident for more than 30 years. My wife and I enjoy coming to SPI on a very frequent basis. Really good restaurants here...good ambient. Wonderful sea breeze!

I started investing in Real Estate in SPI back in 2009, where I bought a townhome for our use, but we used it for only a couple of weeks during the year. So I started renting it short term and realized I was meeting wonderful people always wanting to relax and enjoy the Island... I loved it so much that I bought the unit next door, and then a unit one block away, and so forth... it's been a wonderful journey. We now own 20 units and are currently managing 6 additional units belonging to friends! I retired from the industry and I am doing this full time!
I am easy to contact, so please do not hesitate to call, text or email if you have any questions! PadreVacation
