Very Nice Property - Modern and Clean
Ratings:Building and Cleanliness: 10Furniture: 10Beds: 8 - Mattresses seemed harder than expected.Host: 7The property is in a nice location. It is modern, clean, and neat. The furniture and kitchen were excellent, except the mattresses are more firm than we would have liked.We have stayed in many short term rentals, but this was the first time with a pet. The listing had several references to small dogs being welcome, and one of our family brought a small dog. The host has outside cameras, and we got a message asking if we had brought a pet. I replied that we had brought a pet. The host said there was a 250 pet fee for our three day stay. I countered that his list of fees on VRBO did not include a pet fee. He responded that it was in the listing.I asked him to show me where in the listing the fee was mentioned. He responded that all rentals have a pet fee and I should have known that. Also, he said it is only common courtesy to notify the host in advance that the guest is bringing a pet. He proposed a compromise pet fee and I paid it.So I learned about bringing pets to a rental from this host. He has changed his listing now requiring notification of pets and that a fee is required. So future guests with pets should not encounter this misunderstanding.I learned that a guest should inquire about pet fees in advance even if they are not disclosed in the property listing on VRBO.I would recommend this property to other guests.
