Owner canceled hours before check-in. Wanted me to switch to a 2 bedroom condo with an air mattress. There was no way 7 of us was gonna fit in there with 1 bathroom. I traveled from Virginia only to have to get refunded and find a hotel. I would give 0 stars if I could.
This was a nice little house, which appeared larger in size upon arrival. I enjoyed the comfortable bed and the ability to cook incomparison to a hotel room.
We never stayed at the property. I had co ya Ted the owner multiple times day prior asking for check in details with no response. Then shortly before noon on our arrival day I received notification that there was a maintenance issue and they could accommodate us in Boston near the airport. I had to scramble to find another location in Salem itself as Boston was not acceptable. The trip was a gift to my graduating niece who had her heart set in Salem. I realize issues happen and had I received good communication would have taken it in stride. This left me v disappointed in VRBO.

Weekend Trip
Neighborhood felt safe and off street parking for two cars was great! Not enough towels in bathrooms or kitchen and oven took an eternity to preheat. Sofa bed in basement does not fold down, so only able to sleep one person. Location is just short of two miles from MBTA stop, so you'll want to plan accordingly. We didn't spend a ton of time at the house, but it served its purpose as a place to sleep when spending time in Boston over a long weekend!
Before our trip began, I tried numerous times to contact the owner to get the entry code into the house. My family and I flew to Boston the day we were to begin the rental and we still had not heard back from the owner. I was in a panic! we were standing in line to get our rental car when we received a text from VRBO saying our reservation had been canceled. The text was three hours before check-in! That was downright dirty!
Had a lovely stay for an extended weekend in Salem. My friend and I were on a writing retreat and had plenty of space to spread out and work and comfortable shared spaces to socialize.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The location of the home is perfect, especially if you plan to walk to downtown Salem or drive to the train station. It is close to Salem University which is beautiful too. There is a pharmacy nearby, also within walking distance. You may wish to bring additional pans and utensils as we did. Everything in the house worked well, we did not need to communicate with the owner during our stay. The neighbourhood is very quiet too.
Loved the house except for a few minor things.
1) please add tvs to more rooms than just the 1. We had 5 people fighting over it lol
2) please add more washcloths, 2 wasn’t enough for a family of 5.
3) please add a way to watch tv streaming services, we went and bought a Roku to use while there.
Besides that, the house was great and in good condition, the beds and pillows were great, location was amazing, ease of checking in was perfect. Definitely would stay again!
The house was gorgeous and in a quiet neighborhood. Close to downtown Salem! The only thing is, in the listing there are hairdryers but there weren’t any in the house. But that’s not a big deal compared to how beautiful this place was! The owner was very easy to talk to and nice, 100% recommend!
Property was nice. Only problem was no air in 2 of the bedrooms. Owner did purchase one and put it in. We could not get the only tv in basement to work.

Basement was musty smelling
Washing machine had mold in it
We needed to purchase paper towels, toilet paper
Air conditioner in one of the bedrooms worked when it wanted to
No instructions for closing
The property is located in a great area, but it needs some love. It looks like someone moved out and took everything but the furniture and towels. It isn’t stocked with anything but the bare minimum. The bedrooms are good but the pull out couch is in the basement and it smells and feels like a basement. There is only one tv that is also in the basement.
Absolutely Appalling Experience- Beware of this Host!!
My first experience with VRBO was an unmitigated disaster, and it's solely due to this host's deceptive practices and the deplorable condition of the alternate property we were forced into.I initially booked a 4-bedroom home in Salem, Massachusetts, specifically choosing that location for our trip. Day of arrival, I received an email informing me the Salem property was "double-booked" and we'd be moved to a condo in a completely different city – Boston. My consent for this move was never requested or given. Had I known we'd be staying in a major city, I would never have booked this listing.Upon arriving in Salem at 8 PM, the "double-booked" home appeared empty, making me question the host's claim. We then had to drive in the opposite direction, arriving late at the alternate Boston condo. What we found was shocking and completely unacceptable:Misrepresented Property: The condo bore no resemblance to the 4-bedroom home we booked. It was furnished with ripped furniture and only futon-style beds.Filthy Conditions: There were bugs on the floor, making the space feel unsanitary.Safety Concerns: We were forced to park four blocks away in a Boston neighborhood, I had to leave two teenage girls on the side of the road with our luggage – a truly unsafe and terrifying situation.This host's actions, from the unconsented property swap to the horrific conditions and safety risks at the alternate location, are a direct violation of VRBO's policies and basic hospitality standards.

Loved the home - it felt like being home at the end of a long day shopping and doing many things in town. Clean! Just wish the towels were ready and set in the bathrooms and instructions left on what to do with used towels and if the garbage should have been taken out. Basement was stinky. Other than that, wonderful place and setup - sooooo close to town and convenient!
We drove all day to check in and get some rest. We were asked what time we expected to arrive. We said 5ish (check in time was 3). They said “Perfect”. When we arrived the place had not been cleaned from the previous tenants. Garbage, wet towels, dirty dishes, beds not changed…NOTHING. House cleaner showed up AFTER and told us to have a seat while she cleaned! Uh no! We left and went to a hotel. We cannot get a response now from the host. VRBO has been contacted.
The night before our flight to Boston, the owner messaged me to let me know he double booked the property. He assured me he found a comparable property so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. The new property was no where near the original, was a small apartment instead of an entire house, there was not adequate sitting or sleeping space and instead of a 4 bedroom house we had one bed and a pull out couch. There was limited street parking instead of a driveway. Once we were given access to the “new lodging” the owner ghosted me the rest of the weekend. The host was John b Michaels with the Suffolk hospitality group.
Fortunately I contacted Vrbo directly and they found us alternate lodging and were very accommodating.
Do not book with this host!!!
