I rented the property for 2 nights with a security deposit of $300. It has been 8 months and my security deposit has not been returned. I have contacted the agent a number of times and he has always promised me it would be returned within the following few days - I am still waiting.
I have rented from VRBO websites before and if VRBO does not weed out these fraudulent owners and agents, I am never renting from them again. Beware!
