Booked with these guys months in advance for a honeymoon/ family vacation. 5 days before the trip they emailed to say we couldn't have the beach house and we were upgraded to a better house off the water or we could have our money back. So we asked for a refund to try to get a house on the beach last minute. They refunded some of the money but still have 1925.00. We called multiple times and even stopped in on our vacation to try to get our money back. Nothing but excuses. Of course the only person who could pay us is never there. I'm giving every bad review I can and calling a lawyer. Hope you have extra money if you book with these clowns.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Went through this company several times, and now I've had it. The whole office is highly unorganized. They take pride in their lies. They do not care about your time, they are very rude (especially Elizabeth) and I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere.
