Response from VrboOwner on 14 Feb 2026
There was a misunderstanding on the website listing amenities. As host we opted for clothes dryer, but there was no picture same way as the guests see on their end, so we didnt know it meant to be a machine dryer. However, this has now been removed.
It was very unfortunate that the weather was very stormy and you only had a small bag pack for 3weeks stay.
