Below is a perfect example of VRBO nearly screwing up someone’s reservation. This guest made a reservation through VRBO without even realizing that it is me, the owner,
who approved their reservation. It comes as no surprise though. VRBO has went to such great efforts to conceal the owners’ identity, even their presense, from the guests that it is causing serious confusion in the vacation rental marketplace. Guests, remember, when renting a vacation rental property make sure you deal with the owner. Make sure you shop for vacation rentals on websites that allow you to deal with the owner in a clear and transparent way. Over the past few years VRBO has taken a greedy and hostile stance towards owners and guests communicating directly with each other.
