We booked our property and paid the total more then 60 days before the trip, clearly listing all the people staying. After 11 of us, 7 which are children, drove up 4 hours to stay at this property, we were messaged 20 minutes to check in that the trip was cancelled. The owner sent a message 24 hours earlier to tell us to expect check in instructions an hour before check in.
We were 4 hours from home and just 20 minutes from the property when VRBO just sent a message showing cancellation and the owners gave some bogus excuse about double booking and then went on to say there was construction not safe for children.
This sort of property owner is unscrupulous and unacceptable and should not be allowed in VRBO.
