VRBO site-trustworthy accomodations?
 

Hi all,

I'm really trying to work out my accomodations for Costa Rica. Has anyone rented through the VRBO website? Is it trustworthy? Thank you.

I used it to book a place in Sayulita - no problems at all.

Thank you.

I used it for our vacations in Hawaii last year. No problems. But remember these are individual owners who are renting their properties so a positive experience for other than the specific property you are interested in does not mean much.

We have used VRBO to rent in Maine--no problems. I agree with the above post--it just depends on the owner.

Does anyone have any suggestions for veirfying the legitimacy of the claims regarding the place---the cleanliness, etc.?

The only thing I can suggest is that when you chose a place, you post a query on this board or others like it. Maybe someone might have experience with it and can answer. We found our place through someone else's recommendation.
