We just returned a week ago yesterday from this Spanish Main condo rental. It is a great beachside location, and that is where the positives end. Unfortunately, the sliding glass door and the windows in the unit are in need of replacement. The patio door barely opens and closes. The windows in the master bedroom are so old, rusted and warped that they no longer lock and they also leak. It rained the first two nights we were there and water poured in through the top. We had to place multiple towels on the floor to soak up the water. Per our email confirmation guidance, we are asked to reach out to the property manager, Cathy V. on the provided cell phone number. She got back to us and said “Oh yes, we know about the windows and the sliding glass door. They are due to be replaced.” Why then, are you still renting this place?! The windows leak, the patio door barely opens and closes, and most importantly, it is not safe; as this ground level condominium allows anybody from the walkway out front to just slide open the obviously unlocked/broken windows and rob you. She did not have a good answer. We requested a different unit or a refund. She said she would reach out to the owner Daniel and get back to us. Despite several more phone calls to her, we never heard back from her or the owner. The second day we were there, we realized that the toilet paper in the bathrooms were both half empty upon check-in. There were no spares available. The same went for the paper towels. While they do tell you in the check in email that those items are not provided after the initial starter pack, we didn’t even get a full amount to begin with. The unit is severely outdated, and in need of a massive refresh. The couch is old, dirty, and sags. The ventilation fan in the master bathroom doesn’t work and the cover is missing, exposing all the rusted out metal underneath. It looks horrible. I have pictures of all of these items. The final kicker was on Wednesday of our stay when a very rude property manager for the Condominiums walked up to us sitting out on the back patio and told us we would have to vacate the patio for 24 hours either Thursday or Friday for painting. We also reached out to VRBO via their “Book with Confidence Guarantee”. VRBO said the property is run by the management company and there is nothing they could do about it. We were totally screwed. What a lousy landlord, condominium unit, and fail on the part of VRBO customer service. Don’t stay here!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed many times at Spanish Main and love the location with the view of the ocean. This unit was great because it was right near the walk way to the beach and with kids and chairs its nice its so close. The only complaint I would have is that it needs a lot of updating in the condo. The bathroom vanity didnt have a bottom to it, closet doors not shutting and just overall can tell it's been awhile since any updates have been made. I would def get this one again and recommend it to others.

Very relaxing stay! Easy access to pool and beach.

Found this gem when we scheduled a last minute spring break trip with the kids. While it is in need of some updating/remodeling, you can't get a better location at the price. Beach access right outside your backdoor, poolside access right out the front. The pool was wonderful and the facility itself is well maintained. Plus, it comes with a garage parking spot!! Wow!! Restaurants and shopping located all around you and again, the view from the condo is fabulous. We were even able to watch a rocket launch!

Loved the location! Manager was quick to reply to my questions. Furniture was a bit worn but the king size bed was wonderful! The only problem we had were the ants.

Beautiful views of the ocean and convenient to the pool. You could not ask for a better location. Easy check in. The condo management was very friendly and called when the washing machine needed repair and a repairman came by to fix it. She also called when the blinds were replaced with curtains and an inspection was done. Very considerate. My only negative observation was that the condo could use some updating to sheets, mattresses, furniture and such. Much used. We had a great time though.

There are very few amenities with this property. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Plan to bring everything you need, all paper products, cleaning supplies, trash bags, soap to name a few. Lots of broken doors, blinds. The furniture was pretty sad and had several broken legs. The beds were completely broken down and sheets were old, piled and smelly. The sofas smelled horrible and sank to the floor when you sat on them. Kitchen utensils were useless. The smoke alarm went off at 3:00 am and again at 3:15 without cause. The bathroom sinks were scummy. It’s sad to have such a poorly kept unit with such a great location.

The location was amazing, but luxury is not how I'd describe the house. You have to buy all usable goods like soap, paper towels, toilet paper. That's okay, but there weren't enough fabric towels in the house for our whole family. A family of four, two bathrooms, but only two towels???? There were lamps that didn't work, no coffee table, as it looks like it was broken in a previous stay, and definitely not enough fans. The house has one fan in the kitchen, one in the dining area, and a box floor fan. When visiting in summer, you definitely need more fans. Especially in the bedrooms. It's a well lived in house, not the most comfortable beds. Could use some TLC. Overall, worked okay for our trip but could have been better. The location by the beach is the selling point... That was glorious for both the kids and us.

The location is excellent. The Check-in process was easy. This condo needs a lot of improvements. The door handle was missing. The walls are damaged and need repair. There is mold all around the windows. I think this whole condo needs some overhaul. We would not come back to the same place.

Blinds are broke, missing sections. Mildew smell. Water damage on wall. Location is excellent and in general the property was clean just needs blinds fixed for privacy and issues fixed.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I originally booked a different place and the unit was sold a few weeks before our trip, this was the only place available in the area we wanted to stay and now I know why. Location is excellent, the rest of the unit, not so much. None of the furniture is comfortable, the mattresses are so old you sink into a hole, the place was not clean, there were dust bunnies under everything and cobwebs on the ceiling. We made it work but I would not stay here again.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This Condo needs updating, it has a musty odor, there are ant traps placed in multiple spots (so a well known problem) but still tiny ants crawling all along the bathroom wall and in the master bedroom. The ceiling is pealing off, and I’m pretty sure the guest tub was dirty with old soap scum all around. I would not put my special needs daughter in it. We had one towel ( stained and a hole in it) and one washcloth each. The bath mat did not appear to be washed from previous people. If I hadn’t driven 16 hours I don’t think I would have stayed. The access to the beach is perfect so that was the one great thing. I had expensive camera equipment with me that was left behind daily so I did not call management because I did not want any possibility of it being taken. The two of us stayed a few days because I was too busy to put time, energy, or money in to seeking something else, we just stayed gone as much as possible. I realize this is not a good review, but it is an honest review. Description was not accurate other than the beach access and being beach front.

It was just steps to the beach and the pool. Overall nice condo. Had many things that were needed to cook meals. I loved that there was an umbrella, beach chairs, towels and toys in the unit. My biggest complaint was that there were blinds missing in the patio blinds and master bedroom blinds. Being on the first floor, that was a privacy issue with people walking by. I would stay there again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location! Patio over looked the beach , steps from the beach access, the complex was small and clean. The pool was beautiful and lots of grassy areas! The unit needs a total makeover! It hasn’t been touched in forever. The unit had a very musty smell probably due to the black mold on the bathroom ceilings and around the master window(which didn’t open, fire hazard?). The unit was in disrepair, ceiling was chipping and falling down, walls were patched and rough . The living room furniture was stained, I never sat on it. The mattresses needed replaced and the bedding was disgusting. The sheets were old and pilled, the comforter stained and gross. We actually left a night early because we were so uncomfortable. I would stay here again after a remodel just for the location!

There were some things that need attention in the unit however. the blind in the living room and master bedroom were broken with missing pieces so anyone coming from the beach could see in. We had to hang a sheet over the window in the bare spots. There is no screen on the slider and the windows in the master are really hard to open for getting fresh air into the unit. The shower in the second bath we could not get to work, likewise the toilet in the second bath needs attention as it has trouble flushing. Beds were comfortable and the unit is neat and tidy with everything you will need.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and very peaceful! Even though the parking lot was at capacity, the grounds were quiet and you could not hear anyone around you at all once in the condo. The bedrooms separated from the living / dining rooms were a plus as well.. early morning risers didn't wake sleeping beauties.
