⚠️ Important Payment Notice – Klarna / Affirm

Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals). Many virtual one-time card providers only authorize a single transaction, which causes the payment to fail. For this reason, we recommend that guests do not book using Klarna, Affirm, or similar services. If a reservation is attempted using one of these payment methods and the payment declines, the guest will be required to provide an alternative form of payment or cancel the reservation.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great place but lacks basics

This is a great property and better than pictured. Walking distance to beach. Very comfortable and cool when hot outside. Sheets were soft on sunburned skin. Gated community and security guards made it feel very safe. Pool was great and well maintained. The only complaint is that it was hardly stocked. I’ve never stayed at a place where I had to bring my own salt and coffee filters. There was no sponge to wash the dishes and we cook a lot. So if you stay here, take everything!
