Working with Waves

We’ve been coming to SPI every year after school is out to spend a week, dogs and kids, working and playing at the beach. We’re so fortunate to have remote jobs and we try to take advantage as much as possible. Wake to the Waves was our favorite by far. Cheryl and the crew at complex was super responsive. The unit was clean and well stocked. The pull out and bed were both comfy. The view was awesome and we all enjoyed breakfast and dinner on the porch overlooking the gulf. Looking forward to booking Wake at the Waves again!
