DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!! Please do your research and read the reviews on Yelp. This owner was…read moreabusive, degrading, and unprofessional. He then tried to threaten me and said if I posted my poor experience, (that was witnessed by 17 individuals), he would sue me. My lawyers had to be copied on the emails and once I put them on the emails, Dan told me I was, "blocked." Up until I copied my attorneys on the emails, Dan continued to send threatening emails. Despite me putting it in writing to please leave me alone. I have attached pictures here of our conversation. The conversation was initially dismissive, then he began to threaten me stating that if I went public he would have me charged with a crime. https://m.yelp.com/biz/gertrudes-village-house-siesta-key While the rental company is not responsible for the inside features, nothing worked. The fridge was broken, the air conditioner would work on some nights, others it did not. The sink would clog and the drainer was broken. This hasn't been addressed because it says they are not responsible for this in the contract. But for your knowledge, the pictures are deceiving. We originally booked this place as a 4/3. Please do your research. Dan, the owner, charged us for a 4/3. We placed a call to Dan to let him know we didn't have the 4/3 and in front of 17 individuals on speakerphone, Dan corroborated this by stating, "yes absolutely. That unit is included with the rental." Dan then gave us the address to the second unit and we walked over there, only to find a family inside. It wasn't until he gave us the address and we attempted to get inside, that Dan called us back and took back everything he said. Unfortunately, the website says it's a 4/3. The owner will likely respond by telling you our email correspondence says I agreed to a 3/2. I have attached those screenshots here. He continues to send me a link that I did not click on. I did it through their website. It is advertised as a 4/3. When Dan realized he double booked, he called us back and said we were mistaken. Despite telling us, "absolutely. The 4th unit is included with your rental." The contract also states we are responsible for looking at the website, which advertises this as a 4/3. Upon my attempt to speak with Dan, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "STOP!!!!" It was the most bazaar reaction. I then said, "excuse me? I am trying to explain my frustration with you." Dan then responded by stating, "ugh I don't feel like dealing with this. I'm on vacation. You booked what you booked. This isn't my problem." I asked him who I could speak to when he is on vacation and he responded with, "no one. This isn't my problem. I don't know what you want me to do. I don't feel like dealing with this." Our email exchange sums up the majority of the issues we faced with Dan. I didn't raise my voice once. I tried to calmly express my frustration and the owner responded by yelling at me, telling me it wasn't his problem, and talking down to me. Please read the reviews on the company. NOT THE LOCATION. The location is why this place continues to get bookings. The owner attempted to sell me a rental that opened up the next morning. He ignored the fact that I paid him for the 4th bedroom and then he charged another family to stay there. Therefore, he charged both me (who did not stay in the 4th unit) and the other family, (who actually stayed in the unit). He essentially rented the fourth bedroom twice, profited from us both, and the other family stayed in it. When he texted me the next morning asking if I wanted the extra unit for a "discounted price." I said "no thank you." I didn't send another text or send any emails. I was going to let my lawyer handle it when I got home. The owner then started an email chain stating I booked the 3/2. When I attempted to defend myself, he threatened me, coerced me, and tried to scare me into posting this review. It wasn't until I copied my lawyer onto the email thread that he stopped sending messages. Even the last email was an attempt to threaten me if I went public with this.
