Probably got a refund once the property manager could reach the owner to confirm and doesn’t want to come back and admit she threw a temper tantrum over something that turned out to be a nothingburger.

Is that true, Op??

There is no reason at all to believe this is true. I think this pp thought there were being really clever. Embarrassing.

There is no reason to believe it’s not true since OP hasn’t come back to update.

This is exactly why I prefer hotels now. I got screwed in a similarly way when the volcano erupted on the big island

Couldn't this happen at a hotel if you pre-pay for your room?

Just dispute.

I guess but I never do that. Savings are not worth the risk

Where is OP??

There cannot be a legal contract if there is not some type of consideration on both sides. If the owner cannot provide a habitable place to stay, they have breached the contract and legally must refund OP.

I think a dog pretending to be a lawyer on the internet could give a more plausible legal pronouncement

OP here. This took a while to resolve but I ended up disputing the charge with my CC for "services not provided" and won.

Ridiculous add-on fees had already made VRBO/AirBNB unappealing vs. hotels but after this mess I'm sure as hell never using them again.

Thank you for updating OP! I’m one of the posters that said your best bet was to not cancel and argue that they couldn’t provide you what they were contractually obligated to do so I’m glad it worked out!!! And I won’t be using Vrbo ever again either!

I own a rental property at the beach and would have absolutely refunded you. Airbnb and the owners of your rental property are garbage people. I'm glad you got a refund!

Thanks for getting back to us. Sounds like you handled it well.
