Two months after we booked a weekend here in September of 2022, the owner contacted me apologizing that her “calendar’s didn’t sync” and someone booked the property a few days before us. Okay, mistakes happen…Before I even replied, she messaged me again that she got the other people to cancel and our reservation was good. Had a decent stay, although someone feeds stray cats in the back and it smells like cat pee.
Fast forward to 2023, booked the property again. Two months after we booked it she messages me with the same story about her “calendar’s not syncing” except this time she says her sister in law has some other properties that might be available. When I followed up with her I pointed out how it seemed odd that she claimed to have the same issue the year before but also asked about her other recommended solutions…She ghosted me! Never answered me again! I had to call VRBO and get a refund. From what I gather, she has her properties on her own website as well as VRBO. If someone books there she doesn’t have to pay any fees or if someone books for more days she just cancels your reservation. Very dishonest owner. Plus, she waited 2 months to do this, ensuring that my family and I couldn’t find a similar property. You have been warned!
