The place was very nice & spacious, but we didn't know it was a duplex. We were very concerned about keeping our dogs quiet so as not to disturb anyone. We don't know if anyone was on the other side & it wasn't a problem, we just didn't know about it until we got there. There is no yard to speak of. We also would have appreciated more communication with the owner, NOT the property manager (he was great & pretty prompt with responses, but didn't have the autonomy to make financial-related decisions), since there was a state of emergency due to a coastal storm. We would have appreciated options, but it was a weekend and the storm did turn and go out to sea after we arrived. We ended up with 2 rainy days, which wasn't too bad. It was just frustrating to not know what to do before the storm turned out to sea and risk losing all of our money. It was a 12-hour drive. We would have been happy to choose a different available 5 night stay. It wasn't just rainy weather at the time, is was a state of emergency declared by the governor. And I never did find the actual fine print of the cancellation policy. The whole transaction processes differently because of the software program the owners use. It's just different than other VRBO's we have used. In the end, it all worked out ok.
