I booked this property in May 2021 for a trip with my family in October 2021. This was a trip to celebrate my mom's and my cousin's birthday. 7 total in our group. Everything seemed fine leading up to our trip. I completed the short term lease, paid in full, communicated with the owner about property specifics such as coffee maker, poker set, price for pool heating. I received the pre-check in materials the day before arrival. When we arrived, there was another group staying at the house who booked through someone else. Fortunately, they were extremely nice people. It was near impossible to reach the owner to discuss the situation. We each had to call him multiple times before he would answer. When we did each him, he told us he had no record of my reservation and I was a victim of "fraud". He refused to take any responsibility for the situation. He would not apologize or offer any assistance to us at all even after I told him that mistakes happen and I would just like an apology, if that happened. No. I was a victim of "fraud". Less than 10 minutes after getting off the phone with him, I received notification that my reservation was canceled and I reduced a full refund. I called VRBO and explained the situation. Apparently immediately after he got off the phone with me, he also called VRBO and told them I was at his property claiming to have a reservation when I had none. Fortunately I communicated exclusively through the VRBO platform so had full record of our interactions. While I was on the phone with VRBO, the other party allowed us use of their bathroom so the property appeared clean, but I didn't see a basketball court or the strip view that was advertised. Furthermore, per the other guests, this property would not have accommodated our party of 7 unless some people wanted to sleep on the floor. I called and found us alternative accommodations at a hotel. There was no help with this. Basically, book at your own risk. This property owner obviously cross posts his property, which is fine, but did not list it as unavailable when it got booked elsewhere. Have a back up plan in case he leaves you stranded because he won't apologize or offer to help you because of his mismanagement. Hopefully, if you do end up in that situation, the other group staying there is nice and lets you use the bathroom.
