The day we were to check-in, SPI rental called me and said there was a plumbing issue and we couldn't stay at the property. There were already 27 of us on our way to the property at that time - some of us had flown in from out of state. For the next 2 hours, while driving to South Padre, we scrambled to try and find a place to stay. SPI rental helped by finding us 3 separate houses to stay in, but only for 3 of the 6 nights we were supposed to be there. Finally, before arriving in South Padre, we got a call that the property was fixed. Upon arrival, it was not ready until 5p. It smelled like sewage. The backyard was filthy. There was food and drinks and trash left on the upstairs balcony, I assume from the previous guests. The showers had moldy shower curtains and hair all over the walls. Because our party was so big (29), we weren't able to find a different place, so we had no choice but to stay there. We made the most of it but it was awful. The communication was awful, the house was dirty, and the photos were deceiving. It's really too bad.
