⚠️ 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 vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Great place but lacks basics

This is a great property and better than pictured. Walking distance to beach. Very comfortable and cool when hot outside. Sheets were soft on sunburned skin. Gated community and security guards made it feel very safe. Pool was great and well maintained. The only complaint is that it was hardly stocked. I’ve never stayed at a place where I had to bring my own salt and coffee filters. There was no sponge to wash the dishes and we cook a lot. So if you stay here, take everything!

Great vacation home for families

My family rented this home with my sister, her family and my parents. The home is a quick walk to the beach with a private entry from the community. There is a place to wash off sand right by the beach as well as an outdoor shower as you walk into the community from the beach, which was so convenient with younger kids. The home is right across the street from the clean community pool and hot tub. The home was overall well decorated, spacious and sufficiently clean. Some suggestions would be to clean the floors better and to make sure all the bedding was freshly washed. Overall we had an awesome time at A Blue Marlin at the Villas and would stay here again.
