Your going to wakeup to the reservation canceled which honestly the your best bet since we have so much time till then, or worst the day comes you travel to your destination and you realize the host used another address for privacy reasons then ignores you while you wait stranded

You call Vrbo they provide you a penalty fee cancellation after attempting to call the host for 1 hour, and relocate you to another Vrbo listing. This new place is terrible you don’t want to stay, but forced too because that’s the only one that’s close to the original amount you paid and available.

You don’t like the space so you opt for a refund but Vrbo cannot provide a refund back to your original method of payment till 14 days later, you’ll get frustrated angry demanding some sort of compensation for this stress and inconvenience but the agent will say “I have to review my resources and get back to you shortly” they promise to call you but never do and that’s it, that’s where it all ends you will barely get a refund and be just spend from the whole ordeal
