Vrbo is fine until you have an issue. I am working through an issue now where for 4 days I have not been able to login to my account. And no one can fix it. Or, no one has even tried to fix it.

If a customer makes a reservation for a property then VRBO should actually honor that reservation for said property and not allow an owner to just cancel the rental reservation. Could you imagine Hilton Hotels or Marriot Hotels cancelling your reservation after properly booking a room.
