My owner emailed me in July 2025 for an August 11 - August 15 stay to tell me there was an error between his schedule for rentals and the dates VRBO had posted. This was after I had paid for the week. My bank was contacted and a fraud claim initiated. I was planning to attend a continuing ed workshop and to stay in Eastham, as I have done before. Fortunately, even though my VRBO fell through (?) I just completed a virtual attendance at the workshop which was wonderful. Needless to say, this experience has left a very negative impression and, in the future, I will look to a competitor for a vacation rentals.

The cottage was cute with a deck and pretty water views. It was on a pond with access to boats and swimming nearby. Unfortunately there was no cable or streaming for tv or WiFi access. I think I might have been charged a cleaning fee as part of the rental charge. If so it should be reimbursed because it was not very clean. I found myself cleaning. The owner was responsive to texts but did not address WiFi. There was air conditioning but the air conditioners were filthy so as a person with allergies and asthma it felt unsafe.

No Host response to msgs or phone calls for 2 weeks before start - VRBO couldn’t reach him but offered a change – host did answer 2 days prior. Dirty pots, dishes, glasses & cutlery not clean - Cleaners don’t check. Greasy pots & rack above stove nearly fell off wall – had to fix. BR blind broken – no darkening. Hot water tank quit 3 days prior – part arrived 8 days later. A/C won’t cool below 78F. Slippery floor rugs – we’re seniors – fall prevention. NOT a Happy vacation, very stressful. Rating 3/5 vs VRBO 5/5. Reported to host throughout visit & requested compensation – no reply. Never had problems with other Eastham rentals 2000-2014. VRBO must take up problems with host. Request VRBO partial refund in view of many serious problems.
