⚠️ 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.

The house was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked. The only complaint we had was that the floors need a good cleaning. If you walked around the house without shoes our feet were black and the white handrail to go upstairs appeared to be dirty. Nothing a deep clean or maybe some touch up paint couldn’t fix. Overall we enjoyed the property and would definitely stay there again.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
My family booked this beach house to enjoy the pool and unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy it. The filter/blower was out and the water was stagnant and very warm. The hot tub was pouring into the pool. They did send the maintenance team but there was a part that needed to be ordered to complete the repair. The outside kitchen was very dirty/everything was rusted and the hibachi grill did not work. The outside patio ceiling fan also didn’t work. The 1st floor bedroom is a bit excluded from the house itself. Every flush from upstairs would wake us up at night and was very loud as if the water is falling from the ceiling. Poor insulation.It is a close walk to the beach so the location is great.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home's convenient location and easy walk to the beach, but we’re truly sorry that several aspects of the property impacted your stay. We especially understand your disappointment with the pool, since it was an important part of your family's vacation plans. While our team responded to assess the issue, we regret that the necessary repair could not be completed during your stay. We also appreciate your comments regarding the outdoor kitchen, patio fan, and downstairs bedroom, and have shared your feedback with our team for further review. We’re sorry your experience fell short of what you had hoped for and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

This was a great place to stay. The highlight about this place would have to be the pool and the shower outside. I absolutely love the fact that a shower existed outside by the pool and it was so spacious. Also, the items in the garage to use at the beach were extremely helpful. Wonderful stay!

This was a perfect stay for our family vacation. Six adults and 2 kids.
