The house is nice. The floors are badly done. Every bed was so hard. We could not sleep comfortably. One bed is a thin cushion on futon bars, horrible.
One bedroom is actually then size of a jail cell. 1 twin bed fits and that's it, it should say 3 bedroom.

La ubicación de la casa está excelente, tienes a unos pasos el acceso a la playa y cerca de bares y restaurantes. La casa estaba limpia y ordenada. Solo las camas, a excepción de la cama que está en el 1er piso son un poco incómodas fuera de eso el alojamiento es muy bueno.

This is a wonderful house, in a great location and all the staff at SPI Rentals are also excellent in making sure that you enjoy your stay.
Were excited to arrive. First the house was not given to us til 20 minutes later. We were ok since we walked to the beach because it was super close. The cleaning crew said they would be back to pick up the trash because the trash can was full, that never happened. They left the bottom room really wet and my child had a bad fall, was furious over that. The house needs repairs. Was told that the repair man would come by to fix it. The kitchen counter under the sink was missing a whole cover. The kitchen had small roaches. While I was cooking they were coming out from under the stove. Was really grossed at that. There were roaches in the restrooms and the kitchen floor. The master bedroom closet doors were broken, the restroom toilet paper holder was broken, the shower water handle was missing a knob to turn the water to hot or cold which was hard to turn. The hallway closet door was also broken. There were cables on the corners in the living room and bedroom. The outside patio deck by the kitchen was loose. We felt unsafe walking on the deck because it's rotten. Don't expect to have a good night sleep because the mattresses were horrendous. The master bedroom mattress felt like cardboard. It squeaked every time you moved, solid card board. The other rooms had very thin mattresses. They were no extra covers or blankets so bring your own. They did have towels, one for each, no extras. The backyard grass needed to be cut so on the Monday when we're packing the yard guy shows up. I rented the house because the first reviews talked highly of it but I wouldn't stay there again for that price.

Great Stay
Great weekend stay with no problems. Fast and easy check in and check out. Most things were provided like towels, linens, detergent, and much of the basics. Will stay again since it's just a block away from the beach.
