So last summer we rented a couple properties for a month or longer twice last summer and it worked out pretty well! This year we have been cancelled on twice. The first property cancelled supposedly because the owner was selling the property and that wasn't too bad because that was in December. We found another property that checked all the boxes and because it was for 2 months this time we wanted certain things. Good parking, pool, beg living area to hang out in/work in during the week. Well the property manager contacted us about a week ago and said that they were cancelling us because the owner decided not they didn't want to rent the property that long at one time. This was the story with a ton of the properties that I contacted before booking. Most of them said upfront that they wouldn't approve our reservation because of the length of the stay, which is totally cool with me I get it. But man it kinda sucks that they can do this to you after accepting the reservation but you can't cancel (most properties) without losing some $$.
This time I went another route and contacted long term rental properties on zillow/realtor.com for a short term/long term rental. I found a nice property actually nicer than the last one and its a little different as its basically a lease agreement for 2 mo and I am responsible for the electric bill. Keeping my fingers crossed on this one as its getting pretty close to have to find another property to rent.
I get it that they make big bucks Memorial Day, 4th of July and stuff but.... I just thought I would share in case anyone was having the same issue with AirBnb
