A perfect coastal getaway for our 40th anniversary

From the moment we arrived, we knew our 40th anniversary was going to be unforgettable! This coastal VRBO was absolutely perfect! The location is unbeatable – just a short walk to charming spots for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and shopping.
If you’re in the mood for a beach day or a hike, it’s only a short drive to the beautiful beach and scenic Bluff trails. These excursions were just the cherry on top of an already perfect stay.
The property itself was spotless and incredibly well maintained. We felt like we were staying in pristine, upscale retreat. The views were breathtaking – imagine sipping your morning coffee while gazing out at the stunning beach and ocean view. And after a day of exploring, or simply relaxing, the hot tub provided the perfect way to unwind, with a beautiful, coastal backdrop and stars above.
The friendly community surrounding the home made our stay even more enjoyable. It’s clear that this area is not just a vacation spot, but a welcoming place where people take pride in their surroundings.
If you’re looking for a spot to celebrate a special occasion, or just want a relaxing escape, this VRBO is an absolute gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to mark or milestone anniversary. Highly recommend!

Technical Glitch Nightmare

Due to an error on my part, which was a typo on the email address when making a reservation, the reservation didn’t show up in my trips. I called Vrbo and they were able to forward the confirmation email to my correct email. But they could not change the email on the reservation as their system was having technical difficulties and they could not add it to my account cause it is an Apple account.

I called again a few days later, still they are having technical difficulties and cannot change address on reservation. I am not comfortable with a stranger having access to my reservation so I asked to cancel the reservation and rebook with correct email. I cannot cancel through the site because the reservation is not part of my account. Customer service tried and said they could not cancel because the account connected to the wrong email is not setup. My recourse is to connect directly with Vrbo host and see if they can and would change the email on their end so I could get updates and any other communication or I can dispute the charge through my credit card. Customer service left a message for the host, but haven’t heard anything yet. I will try to call on Monday to see if that will work out, though not a fan of the idea. if that doesn’t work out I’ll have to call the bank.

On a good note the 2 customer service reps were pleasant, understanding and tried to help, though they didn’t have the tools to resolve the issue.

Fees are RIDICULOUS, don’t bother.

Downloaded this in hopes it wasn’t as money hungry as AirBnB. It is somehow worse. Didn’t think it was possible. My total went from $495 to $1200 all from “fees.” I know fees are necessary to keep the app running, but come on people. There is no way on God’s green earth I will ever pay for something that is more than doubled from fees like “$125 - management fee” 🤡.

Edit:
After receiving a response from the developers, I’d like to expand just a bit. First off, I respect that you take the time to thoughtfully respond to reviews. I think it is a great idea to incorporate more transparency in your fees. It’s rather jarring seeing your total more than double, but if I knew why it doubled, I might be able to bring myself to buying it. What exactly is a “management fee” and how does that differ from the rest of the *expansive* list of fees? I don’t remember the rest of the fees but adding some type of information as to why those fees exist and what they are would at least be a good step in the right direction. Another thing, if price is solely dictated by the hosts then they need to be regulated. A $125 “management fee” is 25% of a $495 total price. That fee alone has added an additional quarter of what I’m already paying. That is ridiculous. So, hosts either need to be constrained within more reasonable percentages or outright denied from charging outlandish fees like this one —outlandish in my opinion, that is.

Developer Response ,

We are sorry to hear about your negative experience and appreciate your feedback. Pricing is ultimately left up to the host and while many on our site do not charge additional fees, some do. We are always looking for ways to improve our site and are investigating how we can improve transparency for these fees in the future.
