HomeAway Reviews

VRBO and HomeAway (owned by same company) are a real renter beware saga. They will NOT allow negative reviews of their homes no matter how egregious the situation. I have had two miserable experiences and wanted to warn other renters but to no avail. #1 they don't want you to identify the property - this seems strange as the property name and unit are on the site where the reviews are - there is no mystery here, #2 And while they accepted a review on a place we stayed this summer (what a nightmare) they never posted it.
I reserved a condo through them only to have it rented out from underneath me with no explanation and no apology.

Don't bother with date or "pets" or facilities filters they don't work - 4 hrs- five booking enquiries all responses saying not available for the dates or do not take pets!!!!

fabulous beach condo with gulf front views

My purpose was to rent a beach condo. It turns out this "Home away rental" rented me a vacant piece of property on Cotton Bayou Dr in Orange Beach, AL. I wired them the money $508 to secure my reservation and turns out there is no unit to rent. I have called Baldwin Co EMC and they verified there is no unit on that land.
I am furious. Everyone beware!!

Like to check out whats out there...

I have used homeaway to rent cabins/houses twice in the last two years. Properties have been as described, no problems with payments or security depots refunds. My only issue is they send a lot of email but I don't think they have shared my information.

Good idea for you recreation.
