Any thoughts or or help with this would be appreciated.

I agree that the owner is being rude and irresponsible to not answer your messages and calls. While the contract is a bit vague as to your right to a refund, the wording seems to imply that, if you cancel, the owner will make a good faith effort to rent the house to someone else and, if so, give you a refund. But, I doubt that you could enforce an implied obligation like that. It should have been clearly stated in the agreement.
