⚠️ 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.

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.

VERY happy with my first experience with SPI Rentals
First thing. The customer service is absolutely excellent! I was able to call and text with any issues that there were. There were not many at all. They reply right away. I only had two issues with our stay. First one. The fridge. I felt like the fridge never really cooled. There is a very detailed note on the fridge about the fridge. But I was very worried about my perishable items. The freezer works great so I utilized that and all my ice and ice chests. Until I felt comfortable with the coolness of the fridge. My second issue was the hot tub. I had to call more than once about the hot tub. We had to have maintenance come out and help us turn it on. Then on my second morning there the hot tub was drained of water. Maintenance did come out immediately which I highly appreciated. They were all very friendly and professional. I did leave behind a towel and was expecting a call about it as I was told if anything was left behind and found we would be contacted. But I haven't heard from anyone. I would totally go back just for my towel. But all in all I was VERY happy with my first experience with SPI Rentals and will most definitely being using them again.
