We showed up to a house that was literally condemned due to hurricane damage and not being inhabitable. We arrived at a house with: a sand-clogged crawlspace beneath the house, no steps to the entry doors, interior construction not finished, no furniture and a yard strewn with garbage (old sink in backyard etc.). The owner of the Smoqhouse restaurant (very highly recommended), which is next door, confirmed that it had a “condemned” decal on the front window until very recently and that it was uninhabitable. The host did not respond to text or voice mail messages. To their credit, VRBO reacted promptly and admirably, but they must build more trust into their product by guaranteeing the legitimacy of their listing.
