The perfect VRBO

We were pleasantly surprised that this VRBO was even better than the photos! Beautiful, stocked, quiet, spacious and wonderful hosts that took amazing care of our every need. The unit is even stocked with things you didn’t know you even needed. You could live here! Seriously if you are looking to stay in this area, CHOOSE THIS ONE!

The beach is a very short walk and so beautiful!

We loved this condo!

This condo was perfect for our family during our stay in SPI. The kitchen was perfect to make meals and spend time with each other after a fun day on the beach. The view of the beach from the living room and patio was amazing. We loved staying here and hope to book again soon. Thank you so much!

Amazing Condo

Our family stayed here for spring break and this was a great condo. The condo was very clean and the owners thought of everything that is needed for a day at the beach and pool. Communication with the owners was excellent and very easy. We would recommend this condo! It is a 5 star condo!

Best ever!

This property was exceptional! It was like a personal home with everything that you could possibly want. The photos and amenities don't capture the real charm of this place. It's two blocks away from a grocery store, two breakfast places, four lunch counters, and five dinner restaurants. One was F&B! A chef owned and managed five star restaurant! Thank you Mike & Carolyn!

Wonderful Thanksgiving at the beach!

Everything about our stay was wonderful, from start to finish. This unit is beautiful and has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped, (cutting boards, trivets, pots and pans, coffee maker AND Keurig... even food storage containers). The living room was great for movies every night (we could log into our own streaming apps), the beds are very comfortable, and there was good quality paper towels and TP. :) We were especially grateful there were plenty of beach towels available, so we didn't have to pack them. The owners were very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. We hope to return!

Amazing

Top notch! Communication was on point every step of the way, extremely clean, perfect area right in the middle of the island, the outside private patio is amazing for sunrises. I could go on and on. Book it, you won’t regret it.

Sunrise

The property is nicely decorated and well equipped. Dusting of the fans and light fixtures would be well worth it as 3 of the family members had problems with allergies.

Water problems cut our stay short

Amazing location and beautiful condo. Unfortunately, scheduled plumbing work caused two day water outage after second day that caused us to relocate to a standard hotel room down the street. Hosts refunded rental payment.

5 star stay!

Our family would absolutely return to this property for future trips to SPI. It is the most comfortable property we’ve ever stayed at: every mattress was excellent, the linens were very nice, the couches and chairs were in great shape, and the patio furniture was high quality. This was also the most well-stocked property we’ve ever stayed at, which was so appreciated because we have young children and an infant, so we cooked most meals at home and did a few loads of laundry during our stay. The condo complex itself is the pride and joy of the residents who own units- it is very clean and well cared for. Everyone we met talked about how Ocean Vista Towers is the best place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

Loved It! Beautiful Condo with Beach Front

This condo turned out to be the perfect high-end place for our family reunion. The furnishings and amenities are top-notch and everything we could have wished for. The balcony overlooking the pool, hot tube and beach was perfect for relaxing. Owners Mark and Carolyn were gracious and helpful. Our only small glitch was getting our parking permits and wristband from the manager of the complex, as no one seemed to be manning the complex office. But that was rectified by a helpful maintenance person who made some calls for us. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants to enjoy an amazing vacation experience.

Best placebyrt at Ocean Vista

This was our fifth year staying at Ocean Vista, but our first staying at 301 Ocean Vista. Of all the places at OV we have stayed this was the best. First, it was beautifully decorated with plenty of storage space in each room. Plus, There are several features that enhanced the property such as door to master bath. Other OV condos have had a seperate door to toilet ansd shower, but sink area open. It was by far the best stocked kitchen with all the small appliances and tools that a cook could want, A separate mini fridge to store drinks freed up room in the large refrigerator, and A reverse osmosis system to name a few other enhancements. Owners were communcative. Condo was very clean. We had a great time and will definitely try to book 301 again.

301 has everything you need for a 10 day stay!

We’ve been coming to the island for over 40 years and stayed in many different condos and homes over the years. We thoroughly enjoyed this condo. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of storage space for our groceries, drinks, etc. We had 8 total people staying in our condo and a host of other family members staying in other condos at Ocean Vista ranging from 60+ years, to teenagers to a two-month old. There was plenty of seating for eating, as well as hanging out with our small group and frequent visitors. As parents to three teens, we appreciated the beautiful view of the ocean and also the pool… it was nice to keep an eye on them, without following them everywhere! Beds were all incredibly comfortable, AC was nice and cool and showers were always hot! We also appreciated the beach chairs, beach toys and beach towels! The only complaint we heard from our group was about the key situation. After staying in other condos that had keypads for entry, it was a bit of a challenge to keep up with two physical keys in a lockbox with so many people coming and going with beach gear and babies throughout the day. Otherwise we loved the condo, the location and our stay in 301!

Awesome place! Highly recommend.

We loved our stay! We wanted to bring our dog, and that was a big reason we chose this property. It is incredibly clean, very smartly decorated, and includes absolutely everything we needed for the beach (towels, umbrellas, chairs, toys, etc). The kitchen is packed with anything you can imagine. We walked to dinner two nights, but drove most everywhere else (although nothing on the island is more than a 10-min drive). We especially appreciated the covered parking spot so close to the unit. The beach is a short walk and the pool / hot tub is also close. The view from the master and the living room is simply breathtaking. I’ve stayed in a LOT of short-term rentals, and this is one of the best. The only thing that surprised me was that there was no shampoo or body wash in the bathrooms. So all you need to pack for the perfect vaca is your swimsuit and shower supplies!! We had a wonderful time, and this property was a huge reason. Highly recommend!!

This was our second time staying at this rental and both times did not disappoint. Check in/check out are a breeze, the condo is clean and spacious with a wonderful balcony overlooking the water. Great amenities and good location. We can't say enough good things about it. We'll definitely be back to SPI and when we do, this will again be the place we will stay. Highly recommend!
