A possible suspicious link

A host has sent me a link to their property with an abnb.me url      It does direct me to airbnb.com but when I try to search for the property on my own on airbnb.com I can never find it.    It seems suspicious.   Is it legitimate?

How did you find the host initially @Doug1187 ? 

can you share the link they shared.

 

if you found the host on a third party website often it's a sign that it's a scam. 

This is the link @Helen3

We rented from them through the other vacation rental site last year and want to rent again from them this year.   The other listing has been taken down.    I'm dealing with what appears to be a legitimate property management company in Florida.

Looks legitimate but I wouldn't book somewhere with such low ratings for accuracy and cleanliness @Doug1187
