I was thinking this as well. Pretty fucked up if they can get away with this. You better get your deposit back to. This clusterfuck wasn't your fault. I'm mad as hell and it didn't even happen to me. If it were me I'd have molotov cocktailed that condo for good measure.

But seriously I hope you get this taken care of without headaches. Nothing like having a trip that you are looking forward to get shat on by idiots.

vrco, homeaway, cyberrentals, vacationrentals, greatvacations, ummmm u name it, i tried, either booked, or way out of price range....not paying 800 a night!

I know it sounds like I am being not helpful but I truly think the only way you will get out of this for cheap will be by threatening a lawsuit and attempting to get them to book you somewhere else for your original cost. Either that or they can get the owner in check. Either way, its not your fault, dont let them treat you like it is anything else.

Of course the above is completely null and void if they had something in the contract that states they can back out for no reason at all.

Also remember that they now owe you interest on all money they had as a deposit regardless of what the contract states. You cannot just borrow someones money for free. I am not sure of Florida laws but this is a pretty common thing across the board.

id love to read through whatever contract you had. maybe we can find something in there.

With him. Usually contracts are set up to protect both parties. I know most of us tend to overlook the 40 page booklet, but you might want to take a look and see. This is Grade-A bullshit. I'll pop some bottles and molotov cocktail that bitch! GREY GOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!

That first review on the reviewcentre website seems like something company cooked up in response to all the negative reviews. What a bunch of thieves.

quote:

Most of what they wrote are not true as I saw emails from clients that totally are opposite of what they are saying. I think the main problem is that people think renting a vacation rental by owner is like going to a hotel and it is not. When I checked in I was told that this condo does not operate like a hotel. The owners here are renting them out to clients but you cant expect room service or go to the management office for every little issue you have. I also understand and read in the terms and conditions that there is a possibility that since all these properties are one of a kind and individually owned if it becomes unavailable I will not be able to expect that I will get exactly the same thing in exchange. What I will get will be different but just as nice or even nicer. I can accept that considering I am saving about 400 dollars off of the hotel rate and getting a lot more.

Yeah, definitely something written by the company itself. Other reviews talk about them canceling on them the week of or actually arriving and being told they had to rent out a more expensive place, farther away. Thank god they had the decency to let you know a month ahead... Honestly it looks like they just cancel on folks who paid months in advance and then re-book it at a way higher price.
