Extremely disappointed. We were shocked when we drove up and saw two houses under construction directly in front of the property with a staging area immediately below the deck. We had been looking forward to drinking coffee on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub, and simply being outside to enjoy the scenery and fresh air. Unfortunately, we could not because workers were there from 8:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., except Sunday. Continuous noise of hammering, nail guns, sawing, compressors being fired up, boards banging, loud music playing, and workers yelling back and forth. Even with windows and doors closed, we could hear the noise and see the workers from inside the house, No privacy. Based on the Vrbo listing we agreed to pay a premium price of 3,200 for four nights. Had we known about the active construction, we would never have booked or agreed to pay such a high rate. We immediately contacted the owner. He admitted HE KNEW about the ongoing construction but refused to provide any refund. His excuse was that he could not control his neighbors. We obviously know that an owner can't control what neighboring property owners do, and we don't blame the construction workers for doing their jobs. BUT a Vrbo owner does have control over information he provides to guests before taking their money. Active construction next to a home marketed for a peaceful settings, views, privacy, and seclusion should be disclosed before guests decide whether to book.
