Hi:
Can anyone tell me how to make sure everything is on the up and up when renting through an agency? I don't want to get there to see a foreclosure sign on the property.

Minnie,

We have always used Allstar resorts for rentals in the Windsor Hills subdivision. We used them for the past 4 years and have never been disappointed.

Please be advised that windsorhillsrent.com is not an agency. It's a website that allows private owners to list their homes.

We are renting through a management company for our next trip due to the foreclosure issues. If a house is in foreclosure, the management company will make sure that your reservation is moved to another home.

We rent through www.floridasunvacationhomes.com.

The only other management companies that I would recommend are:

www.allstarvacationhomes.com
www.ovhfl.com

There is another site you may want to check out:

www.windsorhillsbest.com

My understanding is that owners can' list on the above website unless they provide verification that they are up to date with property taxes and HOA fees. Please be advised that if a property is not paying HOA fees, you will not be allowed to use the amenities (ie. the community pool, etc.).

I would still ask who the management company is and only rent from owners that use all star, florida sun, or oasis management (based on reviews here and my own personal preferences).

If you do decide to go through a private owner, you can also check:

www.vrbo.com
www.homeaway.com

The following thread has links to help you obtain information if property taxes are paid, etc.:

I hope this information helps. Good luck planning you trip.
