WARNING...do not book with these people!!!! They have a "no refund" policy on a cancelation (more…read morethan 30days out when we cancelled) that will be sure to send you away without any recourse for a refund. The entire communication system between the management company and property owners and you, will be a constant shell game circle of chapter and verse of their policies and procedures that will leave you frustrated to a point like I am and feeling the need to write a bad evaluation about them. They will treat you like a number, not a customer and they will show their money hunger without any regard for your reason to cancel. So done with them....never ever again!!!!! I would give them a minus rating if I could instead of 1 star.

In early May 2024, my fiance and I were supposed to travel from GA to Inlet Beach, FL for 3 nights…read moreto visit family vacationing there from Nashville. We booked "Sand Piper," 320 Pompano St., Inlet Beach, FL 32461 USA. Their local property manager is Paradise Properties. Sand Piper is also advertised on hotels.com, RedAwning and VRBO. The fees vary wildly with each one. My fiance had a medical emergency that put him in the hospital for 3 days a few days prior to our Saturday departure date (May 4). Upon receipt of my fiance's "ER doctor's note," the owners agreed to let us reschedule but ONLY within the same month (May)--the available dates for which were very limited. At this point, my family from Nashville would be gone, but we could not afford to lose our $1,600. We also needed some sun and relaxation after his hospital stay. So we accepted their new dates of May 12-15. Extreme weather was forecast for the area and arrived on May 12, as predicted, making it unsafe in our opinion to travel there. Rather than letting us reschedule again to ANY month of THEIR choosing in 2024 (the off-season was FINE with us), they refused to refund a dime of our $1,600. We even suggested they keep their fees and just refund the lodging. The owners wouldn't budge. I will never book through hotels.com, RedAwning or Paradise Properties again, and I will tell everyone I know NOT to rent Sand Piper. My advice is to purchase trip insurance when booking ANYTHING. Lesson learned.

Buyer beware. What was supposed to be a biking vacation turned into a driving vacation all because…read moreof this company's negligence to inform. We rented a condo through Paradise Properties Vacation Rentals & would suggest you think twice. From now until April/May 2024, 30A is closed between the areas of Watersound and Seagrove making it 100% impassable - no cars, bikes, or walking. This is a locally well-known, pre-planned road construction project. When we asked them why they didn't give us a heads up, we were told that we should have done our research. We are from Michigan and would have no way of knowing about a pre-planned road closure in Florida. Of the 18 miles of bike paths, we could only access 2 miles. Not one time during our discussion did this company take ownership that their renters have a right to know something this important to a 30A vacation. Other than horrible mattresses, Seacrest 6 had a great ocean view and for us on the wrong side of the road construction. Transparency is everything.

This review is about our Barefoot-30A rental of "JUST BEACHY." Our family stayed for 2 weeks at…read morethis home and it was the worst home we have ever stayed at in Florida. The living room and dining room furniture is horribly stained, the upstairs primary bedroom has a problem with bugs and when it rains, the bedroom drapes get soaked. There is broken concrete near the pool steps and a few of our family members got scraped getting in and out of the pool. When looking for reviews on "JUST BEACHY" there are none to be found and there is nowhere on the Barefoot-30A webpage to give a review of this property. This is the reason for writing an honest review. Had we known the shape of this property, we would have never spent our hard-earned money on this place.

Instead of talking to us, they just cancelled it! We called 10 times a day for the three days leading up to the reservation because if we could get our money back we'd still try and go. They never answered, never emailed us back. VRBO couldn't even reach them. We disputed our credit card and guess what? The property manager replies saying we just cancelled. This is crazy. They essentially STOLE our money. $2,500!!! We're still in disputes. It's not even about the money at this point- it's about someone being a terrible human being and being a thief.

It's so bad, that I will look for other rental agencies in the future and carefully check their contracts.
