We are VRBO A+ renters and this is the first unpleasant experience we have ever had. Although the host stated that there are security cameras front and back, we had no idea that she was monitoring them so closely. I had asked that they be shut off during our stay, as we are a couple in our 60's and felt there was no need. Her response was very aggressive and she made it clear she would not turn off the cameras, as she had every right to protect her property. The camera on the back porch had a motion sensor light. We covered it the second night as it was annoying, and she sent an immediate email demanding we uncover it, which we did. She also made comments about the conversation we were having on the back porch at the time. She claims she doesn't just watch her guests' every move, but I did not get that feeling. She also sent pictures of me walking my dog, stating that I did not pay for a dog. I thought I checked the box stating that I have a dog. She says this isn't true. When I rented the property there was a charge at the end for $99 that the host said she would return. She can keep that in lieu of me paying another $100 for the dog. On two occasions, people showed up unannounced, one person letting himself into the back yard. I was taken aback when a strange man was suddenly in the back yard. The pool is advertised as heated, but was not. After notifying her of this, she had a person go to the house and turn the heater on. We were notified about this person, not the other two. On two occasions, we had family members over for a visit and a meal. Her rules state no "events" or "parties" and I didn't feel these visits qualified as either. What her rules should state is that you may not have any guests at the property unless you ask her permission first, as she sent a nasty email with pictures of our guests. There was hair on the floor and cabinets in the bathroom, and we had to wipe out the refrigerator before we could put our things in it. The back porch and pool deck had to be cleaned before we could use the area. I did not complain about any of this because of our unpleasant experiences with this host. The week spent at this property was very stressful and I will never rent here again.
