A fluke perhaps, but not trivial. We had a horrible experience with this host.Though the property was pristine and the price fair, and while our experience appears unusual based on other reviews, our stay at this VentureBNB property involved the most abhorrent treatment I have ever received from a host.7 hours into our reservation, only after I reached out for assistance, and after our stay had been firmly booked and confirmed through both VRBO and the host’s third-party platform, Guesty, a failure in their internal booking process led to us being called, texted, and threatened with TRESPASSING unless we paid a previously unannounced security deposit and provided additional ID verification.The deposit is mentioned, but only for “local” guests. The host never asked us to pay it or provide anything further beforehand. They jumped from a confirmed booking to warning us in the middle of the night that they would “need to contact the appropriate authorities to assist with having the unit vacated.” To make matters worse, they also failed to provide any way to actually pay the deposit, making it impossible to meet their demands! When asked about their privacy policy, they replied, "Please send a selfie with your ID. Otherwise, we'll need to proceed with the authorities." (I already had sent ID through Guesty.)I understand that hosts need protections. However, VRBO should also honor its guests and hold hosts (IPMs) accountable for reprehensible behavior like this.
