Winter Texan trip

The unit fit what we expected and needed. Liked the balcony view of the beach off to one side, and straight on view of the bay and sunset. Good location as we could walk to many location and beach access couldn't be beat. Other guests in Condo building were very friendly and had weekly gatherings. Only negatives were we felt the owners for safety should have a GFI outlet in bathroom by sink and also a coffee pot with a 2 hour shut off timer built in. Other negative not related to safety was the couch could use a good cleaning or replacement because it felt very sandy when sitting on it. That being said we would definitely come back.

Extremely poor

I would not recommend paying for this condo its extremely poorly maintained - broken furniture, no towels in kitchen or bathroom, no door or bathroom mats, dirty couch. Its not worth your money. So do not spoil your vacation paying for this condo. No cleaning service, not enough supplies in kitchen or in bathroom.

Perfect Family Getaway

We loved our stay at Aquarius 501! The unit may not be as modern as some others but it is very comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay on the beach. The unit overlooks the parking lot which means you get to watch beautiful sunsets over the bay from your balcony as well as the fireworks show! The pool at the condo is very nice and perfect if the kids still want to be in the water but need a break from the sand. My teens also loved the ping pong table in the weight room. Management and staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely be returning next season!

Disgusting couch

The condo is extremely dated overall. The furnishings are extremely cheap and the couch has so many gross stains that it looks like it came from a crime scene. The location of the condo is great and the pool area is nice.

Very comfortable stay

The room is very comfortable to stay in, it was very clean and peaceful and right in front of the beach. We would've loved the check out time to be a bit later, but overall, everything was great.

Overall we were pleased. We liked that we had a view of both bay and partial gulf. Recommendations-Couch needs to be cleaned or replaced...feels like your sitting on sand. Outlet in bathroom needs to be grounded. An automatic coffeemaker would be safer.

Perfect View of Fireworks

Appreciated the small things like including sponge, dish soap and dish detergent, washing machines and dryers take credit card, those things really help. But my oh my the VIEW of the fireworks was just amazing. Definitely will come again to this unit!!

Great Location, condo could use some updating

The location was great. Super close to the beach, great pool and grill area. Building itself was great, however, the condo could definitely use some updating. The decor was so outdated and could use some better furniture placement to maximize the space. My sister stayed in a different condo at Aquarius and hers was so much more updated. I'd stay at this building again, but try to rent a different condo.

Disliked: Communication

Sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable for the kids. Also, was expecting a queen bed instead of a full for the master bedroom. Our view was not overlooking the beach (as advertised) but it was overlooking the parking lot instead.

I was not impressed for what I paid.

The pictures were misleading. Couch was broken and dirty, TV in one of the bedrooms didn’t work. Said they offered free WiFi but did not. Wouldn’t recommend honestly I would have rather slept on floor.

Aquarius 501

How shameful to rent a place as filthy as 501. The sleep couch was stained, extremely dirty, sunk in, the mattress was horrible, you could feel the coils and very uncomfortable. How unhygienic can you get, especially in Covid times with NO pillow cases. The furniture in the living room was so old, unmatched and dirty, you sat and it sank to the floor. You advertise oceanfront and it is not. The tables in the bedroom were faded and cheap. Did you furnish it with second hand or garage sale furniture? The light in one bedroom did not work. We were very unhappy and did not spend the last night there. I will not go through SPI rentals again. Also the staff at Aquarius was very unfriendly, not helpful at all. I paid $370.00 a night and expected much better. Even wifi did not connect to my iPad. Very disappointing!

Quiet neighborhood short walk to beach

My cousin and I loved this clean, modern, nicely decorated property! The proximity to the beach and great restaurants was especially important to us. Shout out to Los Compadres Mexican Restaurant -delicious food and generous portions. It smells great as soon as you walk in. My cousin is going to come back with her entire family, that's how much she enjoyed it. The birding an nature center and dolphin watch tour were fun and educational.
