i have used VRBO twice. Both times were beach trips (SC). The first time... we loved it.. The second time we were equally excited until we checked in. It seems that some leasing companies advertise on there as well as the owners. Well, the owner had booked us, and the leasing company had booked the same place as well. So, fourth of July week, we suddenly had nowhere to stay. It was a disaster... for a few hours. It took forever for us to find somewhere else to stay...

The good part was that we weren't ever charged for the trip...

And yes, the whole time I kept thinking that we should just drive to Florida, and that we were not that far from Disney. I would have been happy just to hang out at the hotel at that point... It would have been bare bones, but it would have forced us to relax!

So, good luck with the VRBO, but be careful-it is not exactly as clear cut as it seems!
