Our stay at this property was wonderful. The house is nicely decorated and furnished. The pool which was recently installed was a nice bonus. The location is great with only a few minutes' walk to the beach. We will definitely stay here again.
Our family had a wonderful time, the kids had a blast in the pool but the best time was that our children and grandchildren were together under one roof making memories. Thank you to the host for making easy.
The location is fantastic. A 2 minute walk to the beach. Lots of room to hang out with the family and play in the backyard.
House itself is beautiful. Numerous resort quality touches; Rain showers, beautiful countertops, great kitchen. This place will be at the top of our list every time we visit SPI
Our stay at this home in SPI was fantastic. The house was stocked with anything and everything you could need. Jenifer’s attention to the little things was much appreciated. (i.e night lights in every room)Loved the pool!!Location was a mere 4 minute walk to the beach. Jenifer is a fantastic host and can’t wait to stay again!
The house is beautiful, lots of lighting and very clean. The outside is just as beautiful! Love the banana trees and the pool was the main attraction for the kids. The pool has a ledge in the front that runs the width of the pool for smaller children that cant swim. Our grandson felt like he was swimming with the rest of the kids! Beautiful place all around!!
There’s so much I could say about this place. It was super clean, organized. SO BEAUTIFUL! The pictures don’t do it justice. Also loved how thoughtful they are about pups. They got blankets, bowls, leash, bags. Literally everything my pup needed, they had. Definitely booking with them again!!!!
Casa Alegre was exceptional! It was very clean, in a great location and had everything we needed plus more. It is the perfect spot and definitely one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in. Exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend staying here!
Nicely appointed, very comfortable and configured well for our needs. I appreciate the smoothness of the entire process with the host and I will attempt to use in the future if I stay in the area with similar requirements.
We are a family of 8 plus grandpa came to visit. Didn’t feel like we where on top of each other. Just a 1/2 block to beach access and very centrally located. Host is amazing, house was just like it was listed. Plus comfy master bed and great pillows!!! I’m I stickler for a good bed while on vacation!!
The house is amazing and so is Jennifer! We had no issues on the trip, but she was super helpful with "pre"questions and very considerate. The house is immaculate. You will love the house and the short walk to the beach! Enjoy!
Exceeds all expectations. Amenities are high quality. Kitchen supports all needs. Yard is immaculate. Indoor decorating is superb. Seamless communications with owner. Appliances are top notch. Attention to detail is amazing. Beach access is less than 5 min walk. We will return for sure.
