2/10 Terrible

Joseph V., BROOKFIELD, CT USA

Total disaster. Property owner cancelled our pre-paid reservation with 24 hours notice to us!!!
We had a nightmare experience with this VRBO rental (on a Vacasa listing) recently. As we were boarding our flight for a family reunion of 13, we got an email: “Your Vacasa reservation has been successfully cancelled!” Bottom-line, the property owner retracted their relationship with Vacasa and disallowed rentals with 24 hours notice to us! This, even though we had fully pre-paid the 1 week rental, and we were in a no refund time frame! There were no available single properties that would accommodate our group, and both Vrbo and Vacasa told us they issued a refund and there was nothing else they can do. Apparently, Vacasa has legal recourse to the property owner, but we do not under the contract! Thanks to heroic work by Tanya at @Taosvacationproperties, we got 2 homes a few miles apart and made the best of it. We had no idea this could actually happen so wanted to warn others! I am surprised that VRBO solicited a review after being quite aware that we were dumped--it was very stressful to rectify under extreme time pressure.

Overpriced, Poor Property Managers
Look elsewhere for a smoother time. For the price per night, there were too many issues. Con: - booked through Vrbo but then goes to Vacasa who manages property, no "one key" rewards -there’s a separate apartment over part of the property. People sleeping in that area were woken up at 6am from the noise above. - hot tub not working on arrival, rotten smell. Customer service told me to reset unlabeled breakers while standing in the snow. It was refilled the next day. No communication with property manager on how to make sure it was warming. Was able to use the hot tub 1 day before it started to smell again and was unusable. - couch broken, held together with bungie cords. - there is a separate apartment over part of the property. guests in that room woken up at 6am on the first day because of upstairs noise - tried to get partial refund for non-functioning hot tub. Called Vacasa >10 times. Was told it was "user error.” - broken towel rack in master bathroom with large stain on carpet
