The host contacted me the day before the stay claiming a water pipe had broken. They confirmed they would cancel the reservation and issue a refund, and stated they were already working with VRBO support. However, a week later, I still had not received a refund. I had to contact support myself, which turned into a frustrating process since VRBO had already released the payment to the host. It appears the host never actually initiated the support request as claimed or canceled the reservation.

Fantastic!
The property is beautiful and spacious. Lots of room to be together with family and friends, but also space for privacy, solitude and reflection. Nice porch area and spacious sunroom. The property was very clean and basic amenities provided. Didn’t need to contact owner for anything because everything was provided. They highly recommend and would define stay here again.

All in all the property is very beautiful.
Was a wonderful back drop for photos.
There were a few problems.
Cleaning lady was there past checkin for a couple of hours and did a sub par job (dirty linen, floors and glass) some lights were not working. Missing remotes and only one television worked. No instructions for audio system.
I’m glad we chose this property however more attention needs to be given to cleaning and details.

Perfect place for large groups
We enjoyed our stay and had plenty of room for our family to congregate and be together. Also plenty of space for privacy when not spending time together. We were never crowded! Host was prompt to respond to questions I had about check in and check out procedures. Very kind and accommodating.
