Spent an entire day on the phone talking with the rental agency about moving us to another property and the best they could come up with was a 2 bedroom apartment (we paid for a 3 bedroom home with a baby and a large dog) or a 3 bedroom home but it wasn't pet friendly. Neither of these options worked. We had to go down to their office and fight for an hour to get adequate placement. We were met with excuses of being out of office for 10 days and she just received this issues at 3:30pm (we first called at 9:30am) and that they don't have any other options. Had they accepted responsibility from the very beginning on how awful the condition of the home was, recognized the major health concerns and code violations, and immediately offered us new placement, this would be a different story. I understand things happen but not immediately offering us another placement and us staying on the phone and going to their office throughout the whole day is unacceptable when this is a vacation. Besides all this, the floors were filthy, one of the stove burners didn't work, kitchen amenities were sparse, sliding doors did not have locks, the patio furniture was broken, and the curtains didn't properly cover the sliding doors so people could see inside one of the rooms at all times. Do not use Pristine Properties.

We left items behind and called. We were told by staff (Erica) they would let us know when items…read morewere found. Later, I learned items were found and they would call me with price to ship. Later was told they weren't sure why I was told that because they return ship for a flat fee of $25 by Suzanne. But, none the less Suzanne advised the cleaner could have taken the items because she doesn't see where they had been turned in. So either they have my items or they do not but either way, they apparently do not intend to return them....so, a ruined experience because of a mistake my children made by accidentally leaving their dad's father's day gifts behind.

Their property management division took over the management of my new beach property from a horrible, large, unethical management company and saved me. They really care about the guest and the owner. Their goal for the property to be well stocked, in great condition, and work with the owners to make sure everyone is satisfied. They are a pleasure to work with, are super efficient, and I highly recommend them. I used them years ago when I was renting and always had a great experience.

My family and I stayed at 213 Seashack in St Joe Beach the last month of June this year. The rental location was adequate. Kitchen had been remodeled, the remaining portions of the rental was average. The property was clean and the deck did have a beautiful view of the sound. My negative comments regard both the rental company and property. The sliding door in the master suite to the upper deck was all but unusable. It badly needs repair. One could hardly open the door to get access to the upper deck. The second complaint regards the rental company. Within the first 2-3 days of our vacation, the rental office contacted us stating they needed access to our unit to spray for pests. Isn't this why you don't check in until approximately 3:00PM on your arrival day; so that stuff can be completed. I requested a phone call prior to the arrival of the pest control so that we were not wasting our vacation due to their poor planning. The rental company did call, stating the pest contractor was on their way. However it was still another hour prior to their arrival after the phone call. I could have allowed a complete stranger into the unit without our presence, but I didn't feel comfortable with that. All in all it was a good vacation but the rental company could do a better job of completing maintenance prior to guests' arrival. Also, I was upset they are only posting positive feedback on their websites regarding rental locations. Guests are not getting a full accurate account of the properties and any issues.

I wanted to share my recent experience with Gulf Coast Rentals to help others avoid a similar…read moresituation. I rented a condo in Sanibel through AirBnB, and just five days before my trip, I noticed a new review on the listing that said, "We are still suffering from all the bed bug bites!" Alarmed, I immediately contacted Gulf Coast Rentals to cancel and requested a full refund. They responded, claiming they had taken care of the issue but instructed me to cancel through the AirBnB site. Following their guidance, I did so, but was only refunded 30% of the total amount. Frustrated, I reached out to Gulf Coast Rentals again, but this time they completely ghosted me. They kept $709 of my money and offered no resolution. I contacted AirBnB for assistance, and they reached out to Gulf Coast Rentals on my behalf, but Gulf Coast Rentals still refused to issue a refund. This is completely unacceptable. Not only did they keep my money without providing any resolution, but they also failed to communicate or offer any alternative solutions. I trusted that they would address the issue responsibly, but unfortunately, that was not the case. I hope this serves as a warning to anyone considering renting through Gulf Coast Rentals. Please be cautious and consider other options to avoid a similar experience. Just in case anyone needs to know: The unit was Sanibel Siesta on the Beach unit 103 in Sanibel.

The rental had ROACHES, was dirty when we arrived, and the management company gave awful customer…read moreservice. Shorter version: We had a dirty unit on our arrival and a ROACH infestation throughout our time and their lack of concern and customer service was atrocious. We ended up cutting our long-awaited vacation short and missing out on the one chance we had to enjoy the beach this year. Long version: We rented Barrier Dunes 72 /406, Cape San Blas Townhome for a 2-week vacation. Townhome was dirty on our arrival and there was a roach infestation in the kitchen. After driving 8.5 hours with young children this is what we arrived to and in spite of calling the after hours line no one responded. We were up until 2am on our first night of "vacation" cleaning the home and washing all of the linens so we could get some sleep. We spoke with the property management company the next morning, but the entire area was booked solid so there was nowhere else that they could move us to so that we could save our 2-week vacation rental. The receptionist sent out an exterminator and cleaning crew so that is how we spent day one of our vacation. The office manager, Adam, called us the next day (Monday). He lied and said he was the owner. He told us they would comp back the cleaning fee (since we cleaned our own unit) and then 3 of our 14 day stay (since we lost the first few days of our vacation due to the exterminator/cleaning company returning to the unit and then us desperately trying to search for another place to go with awful, slow and spotty wi-fi and cell service). When we challenged that this was the best they could do, he was rude and unprofessional telling us "he was tired of hearing about it [the roach issue]" and since they sent out the exterminator there was "nothing else they could do for us". Since the roaches were isolated to the kitchen area we tried to make it work since our kids were devastated to return home but we were frustrated and felt stuck. Four days later, after multiple requests on our end, the actual owner, Jeri, got involved and we were hopeful she could help out since paying full price for 11 of the 14 days with a kitchen crawling with roaches was a horrid way to respond to a family who had, literally, no other options. She was empathic over the phone. However, in the end what her manager had offered us was "all they could do". We left at the end of week one and in spite of them spraying the unit twice during our first week there (and interrupting the one beach day we got to enjoy), on our seventh day the roaches were still actively crawling all over the kitchen. The owner told us, "Well, the roaches are there but they are dying!". They refunded our second week but still charged us nearly $1000 for our first week of fighting off roaches in our kitchen at every meal, where the first 2.5 days were, literally, spent in our unit because we were cleaning it or having professional exterminator/cleaning crews deep cleaning dead roach parts out of the kitchen, or searching (in vain) for anywhere else we could go to save our family's 2-week vacation. We never got to relax and enjoy the beach and amenities. Each day/night we were stressed as we dealt with roaches and then poor customer service frustrations. I emailed photos/videos and details to the property management company but they were dismissed. Attached is a photo collage but we have videos on our last day as a very-alive roach scurried around the counter as I tried to make our breakfast. Disgusting! For over 13 years we have rented properties from owners and property management companies and have never had a roach infestation issue. But to top it off, the lack of customer service and care for our vacation nightmare from Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals made for the worst vacation experience our family has ever had. If your unit has any issues, beware. They are not about making it right and truly serving their customers. If they really cared about their customer's experience they would have been horrified that this was our vacation experience and would have refunded us 100% of our costs since this was hardly a vacation for us as we were swatting away roaches to make our meals, had to wash everything every time we used it, and had to store most of our belongings in our vehicle to avoid bringing back roaches to our home. If you want a company that will look out for their renters and take care of them when they walk into a vacation nightmare, then look elsewhere.

She appeared to be in a great hurry to leave when I called for help. I called her two or three times before she was of assistance.

I have called three times to inquire about the return of my security deposit and I have not received a return phone call ( I left the condo very clean. I did everything except wash the sheets and clean the bathrooms!) My advice, choose another property to experience the beautiful beach. Disappointed in Aquavista
