Unfortunately, our group did not stay at this property due to a hidden fee that was brought to our attention just one week before our scheduled arrival. We had booked and paid in full back in January, and at no point during the booking process were we made aware of an additional 10 per person fee beyond the first four guests—resulting in a surprise 150 charge a week before our stay at the end of June.The listing clearly states that the home sleeps 14 comfortably, so this fee came as a shock. What made matters worse was the timing: the owner only notified us of the extra charge after the cancellation window had closed, leaving us with no easy recourse.Due to the late notice, lack of transparency, and the tone of the communication from the owner, we ultimately decided not to stay. We were concerned that pushing back on the charges might lead to retaliation or an uncomfortable experience during our trip. We've never encountered a situation like this before on VRBO, and we hope future guests are made fully aware of all potential fees before booking.
