We booked this home for a surprise 30th birthday weekend with 10 girls. The decor was adorable and matched the photos perfectly. Unfortunately, our fun weekend was completely overshadowed by the host’s behavior.The property was heavily monitored with cameras, including a Ring doorbell and others around the exterior, which wasn’t clearly disclosed. There were also strict smoking rules with no designated areas, even outside. A few guests smoked outside near the patio and garage—never inside. The host contacted us, and I acknowledged that they broke the rules and agreed to pay the 200 fine.From there, the host sent repeated messages, including photos of my guests taken from a neighboring unit and outdoor cameras, which felt like a huge invasion of privacy. She kept pushing for payment through Venmo—even after I said I’d pay through VRBO once I got home—and continued texting me off-platform. When I said her tone made me uncomfortable, she defended herself by explaining “what harassment means legally,” and referenced her husband being an attorney.She also sent a screenshot of air quality data to claim someone may have smoked inside. But with 10 girls getting ready using perfume and hairspray, a VOC spike is no surprise. Despite trying to cooperate, the host’s behavior felt excessive and unprofessional. The house is beautiful, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values privacy or wants to relax.Barbie would be disappointed.
