We were a group of 4 couples where being together was as important as having our own bit of privacy. We had unit #4 (top floor) and were absolutely overwhelmed when we walked in to see the size of the common living area (open living/kitchen area) with an abundance of seating arrangements and then the beauty and setup of each bedroom with a private bath for each. Very modern and contemporary setup that really makes this a chic and classy place.
The cook ware, dinner ware, glassware, etc. were absolutely ample. The inventory count for each were a little off from what the Inventory sheet suggested and so we did document the exact count of each. There was no cutting board which we did want and so I called Angel (the presiding manager) the night we got there and first the next morning, we had our cutting board. We also wanted to get bathroom floor mats as those were not there in the standard bathroom set, and Angel made sure we got those the next day as well.
Access to the beach was very easy.....1 minute and you are in the beautifully warm waters of the mid October Gulf waters. The sand is really very fine but the beach can be a little hard on the feet so bring good walking shoes if you plan to walk a lot on the beach (to sort of burn all the alcohol off :-)). 3 minutes away is really good beach bar called Wanna Wanna. Must go-to for at least one evening (Saturday special - live band). We got really lucky to get to experience the beautiful music and singing of The Pelican West. Phenomenal band. Just the right kind of 70's, 80's music at a volume that lets you sit right next to them and enjoy.....not too loud or anything. Go early though. They started at 7:00 and ended at 11:00 and we went only at 10:00. Our loss!
We were lucky in that we went at time of the year where SPI was a little quiet. So we were the only ones in this 4 unit condo building. If it were full, the pool is really going to be small. So don't be disappointed if you have a pool full of people and all you can do is stand. Go to the ocean instead. But, the pool was clean and overall property was very well maintained.
House cleaning service is offered every day. Not sure what happened on day 1 but the service was substandard. Just sort of left towels and sheets on the bed and did not do anything else. Asked Angel about this and the next day we got a very good servicing done.....vacuum, mop, dish washing, bed make up and all.
All in all......GREAT PLACE.
