Great beach house

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.

Wonderful Getaway!

SPI Saturn Beach House is a perfect getaway destination. Plenty of amenities to keep guests entertained. Had the pool heated for an extra charge so we could swim during the chilly nights. Lots of outdoor sitting space & easy walk to the beach. Our contact was easy to reach for questions and promptly took care of our needs. I highly recommend this property!

Happy Campers

Very comfortable and homey! 3 couples in our group...so 3 bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms was perfect for privacy and comfort. The house was clean, well stocked (except we couldn't find the beach towels), and had plenty of space to gather. Location was perfect...1 block from the beach!

Where do we start.

Pros:Great location.House has a lot of potential.Cons:When we got to the house at 10:00pm, we couldn't get in, the code was not set. The garage doors were disgusting. It was freezing outside and the furnace had not been turned on, it was 42in the house, didn't you think you would set it to a comfortable setting knowing you had people coming in.The ceiling fans had not been cleaned in a very long time, they were very dirty, they came and cleaned only (1) fan and cleaned it over the table with our fresh fruit on it, never bothered to move the bowl.The floors were still filthy, our feet were black. Cobwebs in the corners. Couch was dirty, including pillows, gross. Beds were very comfortable, but very sweeky when getting in and out of bed. Return vents were rusty and dust coming out of them. Kitchen was ok, but only (6) forks, the freezer door was crooked, the cabinets didn't close well, the dishwasher never worked, had to hand wash all dishes all week long, air fryer didn't work, no cleaning supplies to wipe anything down when we got there, only (2) towels for the kitchen, we had to buy a lot of items. Windows were so dirty with children's finger prints you could barley see out of them in the living room. The dryer took (3) hours to dry(2) blankets and still weren't dry, our husbands ended up having to fix it, they pulled out a Walmart bag full of lint and they painted the outside vent shut, so it wasn't getting any ventilation, the house could have burned down. :::

Dirty Pool and Hot Tub

Upon checking in, we toured the house were very disappointed to find a very dirty pool. We called the housekeeping manager, who could use a course in customer service, and here we are 2 1/2 hours later and reaching out 3 times, no news on the pool being cleaned and pivoting to change our plans for the evening since grilling and hanging out in the pool isn't an option. Don't be fooled by the pictures. Everything outside is extremely worn and old.

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.

Good location. Close to beach access point. Property manager responded quickly and politely to our questions. Lovely home, lots of space and the A/C unit works amazing. There are 2 sets of stairs but that's kind of expected in a beach house. Would stay again and recommend to a friend

Property was in a good area and worked well for the 9 of us. However, we ended up needing to buy toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags right off the bat due to not enough being supplied. The soap in each bathroom had very little or no soap in it. Contacted the property and was told to contact another person. Received a response asking what the address was and then never heard anything. The cooking utensils, pots and pans were also not clean.

Safety

There were definitely some shady men in the area. We had our 9 year old little girl with us. And a man approached her while sitting on our golf cart with all of us in it as well. We had three grown men and two women plus our 9 year old in our group.He was definitely from over the border. We reappeared it to the restaurant we were leaving at the time. And were told that a man looking like the creep. Was also reported for taking pics and videos of children at the water park as well.. so please keep ur babies close. The creeps are real brave there.

Overpriced but overall satisfied

pros: large with plenty of comfy beds. pretty clean. plenty of dishes to use and cook with. dishwasher works well. has keurigg and traditional coffee makers. laundry. big open living room. playpen. backyard pool/hot tub amazing. beach close. cons: needs maintenance/attention to certain areas of the house. the baby gates were useless, not only because they were broken but also because they werent even wide enough to put at the main stairs, which is obv the main concern for this property when having small children. the stairs had random nails sticking out to trip on too. there were no bathtubs to bathe small kids, only showers.code for the door didnt work when we arrived so we had to call mngmnt to get a random code to get in. they were quick to answer and help though. we saw some bugs at first and many of the plug ins for the bedrooms had exposed wire with power strips just hanging from not being long enough. took a lot of work to baby proof for 3 toddlers. i also was approached by a big rat my first night on the balcony, but ik they cant really control that. was a bit scared to hangout outside at dark because of that lol the sunshades were barely hanging on and one even came off after a small storm. there was construction across the street so the view out the living room was ugly and had people in and out all day, even using the driveway for the property to back into their work space. not a huge deal, but for the price, the view was awful. grill rusty. thermostat weird.
