⚠️ 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.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The house is conveniently located near the beach and offers plenty of space for a large group. The highlight was the large, well-maintained pool, which was easily our favorite feature.Unfortunately, working through the management company rather than directly with the owner required significant extra time and effort. Booking, check-in, checkout, and getting questions answered were all more difficult than expected. Although our four in-person interactions were pleasant, communication by text was consistently frustrating.We contacted management 24 hours before arrival to confirm the grill had propane and were assured the tank was full. When we were ready to cook, it was empty, and we had to wait about an hour for a replacement. Also, the checkout instructions said to place trash in the bin at the front of the house, but the bin was missing. It took multiple texts before management believed us.The home also appeared older than the photos suggested. There were very few plastic dishes for use by the pool, the kitchen knives were dull, and having only two showers was limiting for a large group.Overall, the house was comfortable, spacious, and well located, and we enjoyed the pool. However, considering the management issues, condition of the property, and lack of some basic conveniences, we did not feel it offered good value for the price.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear your group enjoyed the home's spacious layout, convenient location near the beach, and especially the large pool. We're sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the inconvenience of the empty propane tank and appreciate your patience while our team delivered a replacement. We also regret the confusion regarding the missing trash bin and understand how that could be frustrating. Your comments about the kitchen items, shower configuration, and the home's appearance are appreciated as well. Regarding communication, we're sorry to hear our text support fell short of the level of service we strive to provide. We always aim to respond promptly and make the process as smooth as possible, so we appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing SPI Rentals. We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

We enjoyed our time at the house on Georgia Ruth We didn’t quite realize the downstairs room was detached from the rest of the house, and off of the garage - but it did not stop us from enjoying the property. The space was perfect for our party of 10 (all adults). Access to the beach was super easy and quick.

Perfect location and great fit for our family

The house was a great fit for our family. If you are looking at this location please be mindful that the room with the bunks is NOT actually inside the house. It is a bottom floor room between the garage and the outdoor patio. The location is perfectly located as we were able to walk to the beach. There is a small grocery store at the end of the block for any essentials.
