Response from VrboOwner on 23 Oct, 2023
We were really sorry for what happened here. I guess it was inexperience of setting up page. Somehow the website was set for an instant booking . There was no communication prior from Suzanne being charged from VRBO. For anyone out there booking I would suggest making contact with the host prior to booking . Especially if your are booking a few days before your trip. I still do not know how the site was setup to allow an instant book with no contact with us. We are Super hosts with Airbnb and have never had anything happen like this. Again sorry for your experience. It will not happen again.
