Whenever possible,ask the homeowners this question when you rent on VRBO,is your neighbor doing a renovation on his home?Because,this was very disappointing to me and my husband,since we rented for almost a week.The 2 day weekend was quiet,until Monday morning,when the generator started up at 6 or was it 7 a.m.There were compressors running and banging going on throughout the day,when we were drinking our coffee on the deck.I think the worst of it,was the barrel that was in their backyard that had a fire burning in it,and when it was dying out,all the thick black smoke came our way.So,I would not have rented their house had I known they were doing constuction next door.It was unacceptable.
