I received several lengthy emails from the owner saying we would receive the code for the property shortly before the check in time. We never received the code. We had to find a motel to spend the night in. I'm expecting a full refund

My first vrbo, host was accommodating, had a last minute change and was no problem, very clean, you do have to use the main house for bath facilities but easy acess, 2 minor things, there is only one out let for the refrigerator, microwave and Kuerig had to get down and plug in microwave to use, and small night table on both sides of the bed, other than that great time easy to get to, thanks John

Quick overnight

Nice place, clean, and I would rent again. Would’ve been nice to have a bathroom and running water in the unit instead of having to walking into the house.

Worked for our needs

The cabana was an excellent choice for a short stay at an affordable price. The property manager provided very detailed information about the rental. If you're looking for a no frills or fuss place this is a great option!

Nice little property

Clean and cute building next to main home. Felt very cozy, could walk down to the main part of town though it was a bit of a walk. Generally quiet though some noise from the main home woke us up in the evening.

Escape to a Cabana

John's cabana was just perfect. The location is well-situated to the beach, shopping, and food. The views are amazing from this location. The unit was clean and had everything I needed. I would only add some birch to the seashells. 😉 John is a very hospitable host and very kind. He gave great suggestions for places to eat that did not disappoint. I would stay here again if I am ever up this way! Thank you, John!!

NO BATHROOM! MUST GO OUTSIDE TO MAIN HOUSE!

We booked the cabana with good intentions to enjoy our short stay. The information regarding the property is misleading. See attached photos. After having dinner and walking our dog, we arrived around 7:30-8:00pm. I opened the door with the code provided. The small room was super cute, but to our amazement, there wasn't a bathroom or sink. We aren't going to get dressed just to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The ad for the property showed a bathroom and it was listed as 1 bathroom. After not even stepping inside the cabana, we left in frustration. We were tired and disappointed that this information was not more prominently advertised. After we left I tried to message and call the owner without a response asking for a refund. . Only after not receiving a response, did I say that I didn't want to leave a poor review, hoping he would be understanding and refund our money. Well, here I am leaving a very poor review. We are too old to be getting dressed just to use the restroom.

May Stay

Everything was nice. The bed was very comfortable and room was supplied with everything as listed. It was a little inconvenient to leave the room to go to the main house to use bathroom but it was close to the front door. The bathroom was ok for cleanliness and maybe because it was shared with those in the main house. There was a small amount of ants by the microwave and could be because of open sugar in the drawer below microwave. Otherwise overall it was quiet and comfortable, what I was looking for

Don't stay here

This property is very misrepresented. There is no water at all in the place. The bathroom is shared with the male homeowner. His dog is "grumpy", his words. And after investigating more reviews has actually bit a guest twice. There are no views like it says. DO NOT stay here.

Don’t

We arrived around 9pm and immediately had problems. We realized the bathroom was in the main house, which was not clear in the listing, and we would not have booked, being two girls. The door to the room is unlocked by a key code, with no deadbolt inside, meaning anyone with the code could walk in at any point. We had issues with the heater not working, and needing extra towels so we messaged the host as listed. The host claims they are reachable until 11pm but there was no response. We didn’t mind since it was close to 10pm, but there was no response in the morning. Another issue arose when we went to shower in the morning. We went in together for safety, but one of us went back to the room to grab something. As the door was shut, with the shower running as someone was showing, the door opened, then quickly closed. It was not one of us who opened the door, but someone else in the house. The host lists that no one uses that bathroom anyway. The door was SHUT with the shower running and the host clearly opened the door and said nothing. During this, there was still no response to previous messages. Next, we received a message regarding there being liquid in the drive way, assuming that it was a bunch of oil. The host suggested parking on cardboard or not in the driveway at all. There was no liquid on the driveway when we arrived. But there was still no response to previous messages. If you are looking to stay here, as two females, don’t.

DO NOT STAY HERE

I have never had such an awful experience as I did with this property, and I will never book through VRBO again now that I have experienced what passes for customer support with them. The listing does not make clear that there is NO bathroom, or even a sink, in the guest room. The room could actually be described as more of a shed, and certainly not a "cabana." The bathroom is in the main house next to the shed. The host (John) sent a message through VRBO with the code to get into the main house, but none of my attempts to use it when I arrived were successful, so I had no access to the bathroom. I got to the property at 9:30pm, and when I couldn't get into the house, I attempted to contact John first through VRBO messaging, then by texting his direct number, then by calling his direct number, and then by ringing the doorbell on the main house. I received no response that evening. In the morning I knocked on the door and was let in by some person who wasn't the host, and when I explained that the code wasn't working, she said she had trouble with it the previous night as well. After twelve hours had passed with no response whatsoever from John, I contacted VRBO customer support. They did absolutely nothing to help me. I am shocked and infuriated at the treatment I received from both the host and VRBO. They clearly have no interest in seeking accountability from the people who list on their platform.

Cabana

I didn't mind the separate bathroom in the main house. The little dog is the best part.i didnt find access to the the back patio. I had to go over a bench to see the koi pond. Then a big raccoon came out from behind a the fence.The evening was loud with fireworks. Then at midnight the owner got into his very loud truck and drove somewhere. I barely got any sleep. There is barely a view of the ocean from where you will stay. You have no outdoor space. Also, the owner should include a mirror and a box of tissue.I left first thing in the morning. I wouldn't have come back even if i could.
