As we near holiday season again I'm reminded of the absolutely TERRIBLE experience I had at an…read moreAirBNB managed by Avant Stay last Thanksgiving. I reviewed three times and the review was taken down by the company each time. Bathroom pipes leaked through the ceiling of the dining room - we couldn't make Thanksgiving dinner. HVAC broke. Someone claiming to be from housekeeping came into the home around 9pm 'to bring towels' that we never asked for and didn't even bother to knock. Scared my daughter who was home alone at the time. Housekeeping brought their young children with them as though we were a babysitting service. Any company that would remove negative reviews instead of actually doing something about the non-stop issues we had should not be in business. Seeing other 1 start reviews for the same company that are actually staying up made me want to post again to help others avoid our same experience.

In early May 2024, my fiance and I were supposed to travel from GA to Inlet Beach, FL for 3 nights…read moreto visit family vacationing there from Nashville. We booked "Sand Piper," 320 Pompano St., Inlet Beach, FL 32461 USA. Their local property manager is Paradise Properties. Sand Piper is also advertised on hotels.com, RedAwning and VRBO. The fees vary wildly with each one. My fiance had a medical emergency that put him in the hospital for 3 days a few days prior to our Saturday departure date (May 4). Upon receipt of my fiance's "ER doctor's note," the owners agreed to let us reschedule but ONLY within the same month (May)--the available dates for which were very limited. At this point, my family from Nashville would be gone, but we could not afford to lose our $1,600. We also needed some sun and relaxation after his hospital stay. So we accepted their new dates of May 12-15. Extreme weather was forecast for the area and arrived on May 12, as predicted, making it unsafe in our opinion to travel there. Rather than letting us reschedule again to ANY month of THEIR choosing in 2024 (the off-season was FINE with us), they refused to refund a dime of our $1,600. We even suggested they keep their fees and just refund the lodging. The owners wouldn't budge. I will never book through hotels.com, RedAwning or Paradise Properties again, and I will tell everyone I know NOT to rent Sand Piper. My advice is to purchase trip insurance when booking ANYTHING. Lesson learned.

Buyer beware. What was supposed to be a biking vacation turned into a driving vacation all because…read moreof this company's negligence to inform. We rented a condo through Paradise Properties Vacation Rentals & would suggest you think twice. From now until April/May 2024, 30A is closed between the areas of Watersound and Seagrove making it 100% impassable - no cars, bikes, or walking. This is a locally well-known, pre-planned road construction project. When we asked them why they didn't give us a heads up, we were told that we should have done our research. We are from Michigan and would have no way of knowing about a pre-planned road closure in Florida. Of the 18 miles of bike paths, we could only access 2 miles. Not one time during our discussion did this company take ownership that their renters have a right to know something this important to a 30A vacation. Other than horrible mattresses, Seacrest 6 had a great ocean view and for us on the wrong side of the road construction. Transparency is everything.

We also appreciate the COVID protocols, and have noticed how extremely clean the units are as we have rented 4 times since COVID started. The sheets and comforters are all gleaming white and changed before each arrival. I highly recommend using this company for any rentals in the area!

We called about a property, told the lady we wanted to reserve it, and she sent us a link to reserve it. After filling out guest information for 10 people, I clicked submit, only to be told, "This property is no longer available." I called again, and she explained that someone must have reserved it from VRBO. I was in no rush to complete the form because she said the quote is valid for 24 hours. She could've simply locked it in over the phone, but chose not to. Very frustrating experience. Also, they offered no alternative locations, nor did they seem to care about my experience. I HIGHLY suggest using Cottages on 30A, or another reputable company. I called them, and they offered a discount code for my experience at this location. THAT is how you do business!
