Despite arriving at the property on time and notifying the host of our imminent arrival, we were left stranded without any check-in or door code instructions. Even with numerous attempts to contact the host from multiple phones, we received no response whatsoever.
Frustrated and desperate for a solution, I reached out to VRBO for assistance. Unfortunately, even they were unable to establish contact with the host. As a result, I had no choice but to book a hotel across the street, which cost me an additional $500. Without an instant refund, this last minute expense drained most of what I had left for activities in the area.
I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am with this host's lack of communication and disregard for their guests. While the property itself may have been nice, the inability to access it completely ruined our stay. I strongly advise against booking with this host, as you may find yourself in a similar situation of being unable to access the property you paid for.
