About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Awesome Ocean views- Beachfront! STUDIO

You will love the 5th floor ocean views from the private north facing balcony of this studio. The Florence complex sits right on the beach. It's just a short walk over the boardwalk to the ocean. I don't think you can stay any closer to the beach!
This updated unit has a new queen bed & queen pull out sofa will comfortably sleep 4. It's fully equipped kitchen is perfect for your meal prep needs. We use 100% cotton sheets and supply plenty of nice towels for your stay. To lighten the packing load we also have beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards & a small cooler for our guests to use. Pool and hot tub, cable & WIFI
We are located toward the north part of the island between Clayton's and Wanna Wanna. Walking distance to many places but away from the noise and crowds.
The island has a free Metro bus that picks up right in front of the building and runs until 9:00 PM.
Pet friendly. Pet fee and Pet Agreement required.
Max guests: This unit must not exceed 4 guests.
We are just a phone call away in case you need anything.

Cozy, clean, comfortable & convenient.
Perfect small but cozy studio apartment right on the beach. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The only problem that we encountered Was that we left our jackets at home in Harlingen but the condo was perfect, the premise and common areas were clean and well maintained safe and secure. We had a wonderful time. We hope to be back.

This condo had everything we needed and was right on the beach. A little snug so I wouldn’t go more than 2 people. The beach gear was so helpful and we enjoyed our time there.

Hard to sleep, too much noise
The AC compressor was the loudest we have ever heard and the dehumidifier added to the noise by a banging sound when it went on and off. The only night we could sleep was when we lost power. I’d recommend both of these units be replaced before you try to rent this unit again.

Excellent location, clean grounds, and felt very safe. Our rental was very well equipped with everything we needed. Glitches with the AC and dehumidifier were the only downfalls, this could have been repaired quickly if communication with management responded.

SPI Florence condo
Nice, except the elevator (6 story condo) was out of order for a 12 hour or so period of time. Also, it sounded like the unit above was getting its tile floor chipped up. Hammering, jack hammering. Also, had to vacate the condo when the fire alarm want off. Malfunction? somebody said. Otherwise, really nice.

My friends and I took a short 1 day turn around trip to spend the day on the beach. This was the perfect spot and the perfect accommodation for our purpose. Everything we needed was there, it was right on the beach and had a small kitchen for what we needed to use it for. Thank you so much for hosting us!

We love SPI and this property is RIGHT on the beach. You honestly cannot get closer. The elevator is slow, the water pressure is so so, and that will always be the case at the beach. This place was worth the drive!
