Nice house but some notes for property managers

The house had a lovely view and lots of space, and was very peacefully located. 2 issues to note- the downstairs area smelt quite musty/stale - it eventually went away after a few hours of opening all windows, but might not be a great solution in winter. The property managers charged us 50 for a lost remote control, before they asked us if we knew where it was. We couldn’t find the remote either when we arrived, and even though we explained that we did not lose it, they did not refund us the money (or even respond to our explanation) until they managed to find the remote themselves. I can understand wanting to recoup costs when guests do the wrong thing, but in this case we weren’t given a chance to explain and I suspect we would not have got the money back if they hadn’t managed to find it themselves! No reflection on the property owner, but this left a sour taste after an otherwise pleasant stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 November 2025
Hi Michelle We completely understand your disappointment. We regret that the charge was made before giving you the opportunity to respond. Unfortunately, we have a limited window to process claims on the security deposit, which required us to act quickly at the time. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re sorry again for any frustration this caused. Viviana
