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.

For many years, my husband and I have rented on AMI. This year we rented AMI BEACH HOME through…read moreDuncan for two months. This is considered a premier rental. We will NEVER rent this house again. For starters, the kitchen was minimally stocked... Just the required pots, pans, dishes and glassware, but NO serving dishes, platters, etc. We assume their personal serving pieces were in several kitchen cabinets that were locked. MORE importantly, the owners live in a different country, and manage the electrical system for AMI Beach Home from their home abroad. We were UNABLE to use the SPA for several days while the problem was being DISTANTLY resolved. The MOST significant issue was that we were WITHOUT Wi-Fi for six days, a MAJOR inconvenience to us during our stay . After almost a week of the owner trying to fix the problem from abroad, it was finally resolved. To compensate us for our inconvenience at this premier rental, the owners reluctantly but finally agreed to compensate us with a " small gift card to a local restaurant" I will end by saying that my husband and I found this "compensation gift" AN INSULT as we were paying $700+ per night for this premier property Respectfully submitted , Bennett Prichard

Keep in mind I had had multiple phone conversations, we confirmed a one month rental while we waited to close on our house, and everything seemed on the up and up. Then they said we hadn't informed them there would be dogs and there was a pet fee. I replied oh yes I did, it was the first email I sent and the first conversation we had in late June. They said well whatever we are charging you. I said no, I told you about the dogs, and we negotiated the month long rental fee which I agreed to pay, and you already knew about the dogs so I assumed it was in that total amount. Then came the rudeness, the gaslighting, and shutting me down. They are not interested at all in customer service, even though I have in writing that I informed them of the dogs. The dogs were part of the deal from the beginning. They charged the card they had on file without my approval and with no additional paperwork signed. On their invoice, it tells you you can go to YapStone Inc if you have complaints about the charges. I did, and followed the info to Florida. The number they tell you to call for Yap immediately is picked up and hangs up on you. So clearly not a legit business number. They also give you a number for Florida Office of Financial Regulation, but THAT number is a scam trying to sell me fake Medicare. Wow wow wow. So now not only do I think the company is just unethical and rude, but I am wondering if this is a fraud scheme from top to bottom because their payment processing company clearly isn't a legit business. There are lots of rentals in Florida folks, look elsewhere and get it from a mom and pop owner who won't scam you like this.

Vacation Renters Beware! We booked and paid for a vacation rental 3 months in advance, had a…read moresigned contract for the rental, received multiple confirmation emails and phone calls... then got a phone call 3 days before check-in that our "rental was double-booked" and they needed to move us to a different rental. There were not any comparable units available with the key elements of the unit we had already paid for - updated furnishings, sleeps 6, a pool and across the street from the beach, and they didn't offer a discount for these "less than" alternatives. They did refund my money, including all the "add on fees" that added over $500 to our 3-day rental price... and blamed it on the owner of the unit. NOT an honest and just business practice. Book with another vacation rental agency so you don't get stranded like we did!

Stayed there in unit F 22, a two bedroom, rented for five nights the weekend after Easter. The unit…read moreis dated and although the owner claims it has been upgraded, the cabinets are worn and the tile tiles on the stairs need to be replaced. However the biggest problem was the guest bedroom where there was obvious significant damage to the walls. There were separation of the ceiling from the wall from whatever issue resulted, suspect water damage from hurricanes every wall had either peeling or warping or separation issues. The potential for mold is significant and it's unhealthy to rent out this unit without completely renovating at least this room. The resort advertises itself as a luxury resort but this was substandard and the equivalent of a deteriorating trailer. The manager for the owner was advised of the damage but never responded. several pictures were taken of the damage and included in the correspondence. The condominium management was advised and sent the same pictures, and responded that they were only responsible for the association and the responsibility rested with the unit owner. It was obvious that the condominium manager did not make inspections to make sure that all units were up to code and that they abdicated their interest and obligation. Would be difficult to call this condominium complex anything other than a substandard .

We loved having a designated parking spot (parking passes supplied by owner.) We booked through VRBO & will definitely be back. P. S.
