What a horror story we had, renting from these people, Connie and Tom Richards. We booked a condo at Windsor Hills from them for may2-may 30. When we arrived we were denied access to the pool and facilities because of their financial problems with the resort. Here is a brief discription of what happened:
May 2: arrived tried to get passes for pool etc, could not, called Connie Richards, she told us problem was with windsor hills would be resolved.
May 3: spent morning in condo, giving them time to resolve issues, went to office, met tom richards, he paid $30 day rate for use of pool for day only, but no other facilities, said it would be resolved next day
May 4: still not resolved, connie richards said some mix up in her fees,but she would not pay for use of pool for remainder of our month, i told her wanted all my money back, after several hours back and forth, she said she had a 5bedroom pool home we could use, but not available for may 29th, but we could go backe to condo for last nite as she couldnt rent it anyway, ofcourse this meant not pool again for last day, we agreed
May 29: we cleaned house packed up and went back to condo, guess what the electricity was shut off. called her and tom neither returned call
left message saying we were going back to house as we were paid for room thru may 30
went to park for a few hours returned to house and several women were in it said they had rented it. called connie and she said we needed to leave or she would call police and have us removed. since our contract stated condo and not house, felt the police would not get involved and so we left and went to a motel which cost us an additional 102.
The richards blatenly lied to us, entered into a contract which they knew they could not keep, tried to say they never toldus we could go back to condo, refused to reimburse us for the last nite at another hotel and refund from what we paid them for their condo
To add insult to injury, when we returned home, there were phone messages from connie, made while we were in florida at her house with a phone saying we could not stay at condo, how stupid can you be.
So please to all my internet friends dont have anything to do with any properties they own or manage:scared1::headache::sad2::sad2::sad2:
 
:eek::eek:
I would be livid. However, I hope that you were able to enjoy some of your vacation. There are stories like this popping up all over. It would really make me leerie of privately renting someone elses property at the moment.
 
This story just sealed the deal for me...no private rentals when there are so many other options in Orlando! :scared1:
 
Figment,

I think you need to speak with an attorney. Sounds like you have a great case on your hands concerning fraud. If you pursue legal action, I wish you all of the luck in the world (not that you will need it) !
 

Curious is this is the people that we tried to rent from 2 yrs ago, can you put a link to the actual condo (or the house would be better, that is what we tried to rent), I couldn't find any at Windsor Hills on rentsunnyflorida.com, they all seem to be in Vista Cay.

The people we tried to rent through wanted payment though paypal and when we tried to pay, paypal had tagged their account as a fraud, and thankfully kept us from paying. After much arguing and many months we finally got back out cash deposit.

What a nightmare! Although the beginning and end of your trip sound really rough, I hope that you were able to enjoy the middle of your stay at the house.

These people were so clearly over their heads and it's a real shame that they had to transfer their financial issues to you. I hope everything ultimately gets settled in an appropriate manner.

Thank you for sharing. Wow.
 
I am sorry to hear about your experience renting a home. They were wrong in what they did to you and your family. Shame on them for treating you so.

I just want you all to know most owners are not like this.
 
Hi Disney*Dreamer, I don't know how to put links on here, but here is some more info on property:
The web site was "RentSunnyFlorida.com" and also "WH4.com" I rented from the web site "HomeAway.com which has it listed as #122985. I also took their guarantee and they said they only reimburse if there is actually no condo, but since this one did exist they were not liable.:confused:

I don't think it is the same people but I could be wrong, we rented through pleasant stays. I am not saying that all at pleasant stays are fraud, just the one I rented through. I am sure most of them are legit.
