When I booked this place the listing stated it had 2 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. We felt we could manage for the 1 night we were there with 2 baths. However after arriving we found there was only 1 bathroom. We decided to leave as we had 10 people who would have to manage 1 bathroom in the morning. It has been 10 days and I still have not received a refund. I called Vrbo and they directed me to management. The management team states they need to talk to owner. I was told 10 days ago that they had talked to them. No one is taking this seriously. I see that they changed the number of bathrooms in the summary but still states there are 2.5 in the description. VRBO has not done anything nor anyone else involved with this property. I was lied to in more ways than 1 about this property.
