Unfortunately communicating with the property management was very stressful. No info from them about how to check in until last minute, very slow responses via VRBO app (like more than 24 hours even when messaged in the middle of a business day) to our inquiries, very slow or no responses to inquiries sent via What'sApp as they suggested we should do, and they wanted us to wire them the payment via bank transfer instead of taking payment via VRBO app as our booking indicated should happen. I would not book a place managed by this group again. ##### Lise O.
