Don't stay unless you enjoy being bothered by owner.

Owner hovered and came to property twice in 12 hrs. I've stayed at many vrbo properties and never dealt with owner/ manager popping in unannounced. She won't get many repeat customers and that's guaranteed. No where does the rules say you can't have a guest during daytime hours. Complaining of having 5 instead of 4 daytime visitors (not overnight guests) made an uncomfortable stay. Would not recommend this property unless you enjoy being watched and confronted.
