  I had very mixed feeling about how many stars to give this booking. There were several positives but in the end I felt that the cons out weighted the pros. Pros: it’s a large spacious house that fit large groups with small kids like us well. There were tons of beds and lots of kid friendly additions that we appreciated. The pool was also a nice place to come cool off after a long day at the beach. Cons: the house had severe maintenance issues and mold every where. Someone appears to have poorly nail-gunned a new veneer on the the stairs and left dull nails poking out of the ends of many of the stairs. There was mold all over the master shower, the dish washer, the kitchen sink, and much of the kitchen equipment such as the cutting boards. Finally the upstairs porch had a railing that was severely damaged due to being attached to an awning. It made us uncomfortable to have children out on the porch because of it. I’ve seen a few other renews noting this issue and comments from the owner claiming it was fixed: it’s not… I’m sure the owners will quickly respond that they sent maintenance out right away after I called our first morning. And they did, however the maintenance team only came at the exact time we told them not to (nap time). They never came back and the two times they were there they mostly just poked around looking at issues without fixing anything. It almost seemed like they only showed up to say they responded and not to fix anything. Don’t stay here!

  The right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We were contacted the morning after check-in and sent our handyman out that same day to take care of reported issues.
  - While most concerns were addressed during that visit, we needed additional materials to repair the upstairs deck railing, which was taken care of after your stay.
  - We’ve since completed a deep clean of the kitchen and bathrooms and are replacing the stair treads to remove any exposed nails.
  - We're sorry for the disruption during your child’s nap time—we do our best to honor guest requests and understand how important that can be.
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.

• Great beach house

  5/5

  Great place to stay! Held 2 families perfectly!!! The walk to the beach was only like 5 minutes! Was really close to Black Beards Resteraunt! The pool was great to be in after the beach and then hot tubbing before bedtime!!! The pool could have been a little clearer but not bad.

  Manager's Response:

  Thanks so much, Curtis! We’re glad the house worked out so well for both families and that you enjoyed the easy beach access — and of course some time in the pool and hot tub! We appreciate the note about the pool clarity and will keep that in mind. Hope to have you back next time you're in SPI!

  We enjoyed our stay so much. The property had everything we needed and there was plenty of room for all of us. Great location, plenty to do, and property manager was very responsive every time I reached out; even before we checked in. We’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we visit SPI.
