Anybody have experience or know anything about VRBO (vacation rental by owner). I’ve been thinking of using that for trips to big bear. I’ve heard good things about it, but once, a few years ago, I heard about somebody getting scammed.[/quote]
I have used VRBO for Mexico, Hawaii, Big Bear, Mammoth, Napa, Germany and Italy and have never had any problem. Not saying it is fool proof, but you have to pay to list on VRBO which seems for now to keep the scammers away, although I fear that will change.
