When we looked at this booking it was for 315 per night. Didnt realise it had gone up to 371 when i booked. I would never book a place that expensive. I know we booked it quite late but i dont know why the price jumped like that. I believe a part refund is in order. The place was nice but not worth the price. A bit shocked actually and have used book a bach brfore and been really hapoy. Next time i book i eill screenshot the advert.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 January 2025
Thank you for your review - however, the rate you are referring to is "From" $315 per night. This is during off-peak. You have booked over New Years, which is the most peak period of the year. When you input your dates, the system very clearly shows the nightly rate, and the total for the period that you are requesting to book. It is guests responsibility to ensure that you pay attention to the nightly rate before making payment to secure your booking. There is no refund in order.
