⚠️ 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.

This really is a beautiful home and well appointed. It has everything you need and can hold a bunch of people. We had an issue with the kitchen faucet, management handled it right away. The response to my call or text was almost instant. I highly recommend this home. I feel like I should mention that the upstairs stays very warm like the air conditioning doesn’t work well up there. They have fans available if you ask for them. My husband and I slept in the bunk beds downstairs a couple nights. Lol. Thank you SPI Rentals for a great stay.
