Worst VRBO experience EVER
Hiding a bring your own bedding and towels little sentence in middle of huge description is deceptive. To get a reminder to bring a sheet for a pet but not remind me that BTW there are no pillows sheets towels or blankets is BS. Prop Mgr communication is terrible. Cost me addl $145 at family dollar for blankets and towels.
