Unfortunate Experience
On the second day of our stay, the host asserted that the rental had never been approved nor paid for, and said to call at once to resolve. Demanded pay via Venmo and threatened to call the police if we didn't comply. We called 10 times between receiving these messages and leaving, all of which received no response. VRBO said the property was reserved and gave us the address/relevant info, we didn't get any info about it not being approved (the app said "confirmed" upon our arrival) and a charge came through from VRBO, so as far as we knew, the house had been reserved. Host was entirely unprofessional during this situation, which could have been easily resolved.

Disliked: Communication
We booked this property for a large family reunion and had high expectations, but the stay was very disappointing. The water situation was unacceptable—barely enough to flush toilets, no dishwashing, no cooking, and no showers. Some of us went three days without showering. For the price we paid, this should never happen.The property manager admitted he was trying to get a plumber, but the issue was never resolved. Communication was slow, and I didn’t get a clear response about a refund until long after we had to make decisions on our own.To make matters worse, the host suggested someone in our group left an outdoor faucet open, which was not the case. This felt like an attempt to deflect blame instead of taking responsibility.Beautiful space, but the basics weren’t there. I would not recommend this rental unless you’re okay with the risk of having no running water.
