⚠️ 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 authorise 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: 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.

Summer getaway

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!

Awesome stay

We had an awesome stay. This was our first time using SPI and we had an excellent time. My checkin was smooth no issues. We were a large group that had more than four cars and the staff answered all our questions on where we can park without having any issues. We were only a very short walk to the beach. The house was great, we would stay here again!

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

Walk to the beach and enjoy the waves and sand

Nice place. Location is choice, walking to beach is simple. There is no pool heater when the description leads you to believe so. Overall nice place, with ocean right there. Wake up, walk to the beach and enjoy the waves and sand.

Annual Trip

Once again we enjoyed our annual stay at SPI. The house was lovely and pictures matched what we found. The only two things to note: the main floor bedroom is separate from all the others and has either an outdoor entrance (from the pool) or an entrance from inside the garage and the bunk room needs the bunks attached to the walls—extremely squeaky with the slightest movement. The outdoor kitchen could’ve been cleaner but overall we lived our stay.

Space & Pool

This house has everything you need. The three levels provided plenty of space for fifteen of us. The beds were comfortable. The outside pool area was a big hit with all ages. The best part is that the ocean is a very short walk to paradise! One suggestion we would make is to have an outside patio table so we could have ate and played cards outside while the kids swam.
