Worst VRBO experience so far...

Once we arrived to the property in Orlando my wife an i did a quick inventory of the property as requested. I found many things to a problem so I list them in an Email and sent it to the management company. I then called the management company and the answering service told me they we aware of the problem and would have someone contact me about coming out to the site, this never happened. The next day I repeated this process and was told again someone would be calling me about coming to the site, again this never happened. I will not be using this service again!
