Host Dishonesty, Retaliation, Surveillance, Threats Be prepared for miscommunication, disrespect, undisclosed surveillance. Hard evidence will not protect you from host harassment. Contact VRBO instead; they were great. We messaged host on VRBO about our wedding, acknowledging "no parties" policy. He called, approved our 25–30 guest count, and verbally agreed. A month before check-in, I texted to confirm 30 guests; he rescinded. When asked what to do, he replied: "We are good to go" and "Please keep it under control so my wife doesn't murder me." An unhired vendor texted him about 40 chairs; I said to disregard. We brought 30 chairs with us. On arrival, the yard, deck, and sidewalks had lots of duck excrement, which we cleaned. The oven and dishes were dirty, the grill caught fire due to grease. Left with under 1/4 tank of propane, we cleaned up the grill, bought propane without complaining. The next day, I asked host about fallen lights. He screamed, humiliated me, demanded video proof, which I sent. Later, our teen tripped and caught a poorly mounted wall game. It detached but was undamaged, left on the floor. We left the property cleaner than we found it. At checkout, his wife screamed at us, claiming "illegal activity." I texted them both our proof of approval. The host replied with insults and threats, texting that he videoed our family and would "blow us up on social media." He then filed a false 750 damage claim without receipts to mount a game.
