"We booked the listing for 4 nights. The host never responded to any messages, we never received any check in information. We had to wait until 4pm to get Vrbo to cancel the booking.. It took several calls with Vrbo to get our refund. I suggest booking somewhere else, I’m not even sure this is a real listing. The photos look good but that’s not much use if you cannot check in. "
