Don't even CONSIDER living in one of their properties unless you want to live with the regret…read more Island Communities is nothing short of a slumlord. They overcharge for everything and then even charge when you pay on their website with your checking account. Then they charge you for services you don't even receive. And forget about trying to resolve an issue. No one answers the phone nor do they respond to emails. Once they have your lease agreement, you are screwed.

Disappointed and Deeply Concerned About Safety at Jensen's Marina…read moreAs locals who have been loyal guests of Jensen's Marina for years, it brings us no joy to write this review--but our recent experience was so upsetting that it must be shared. During a family stay at the marina, unauthorized individuals were somehow allowed access to the property. These individuals not only stole valuable personal belongings directly off our boat, but they also interacted with our children while on the premises. It was a terrifying experience that no family should ever have to go through, especially in what is marketed as a safe, family-friendly environment. We trusted Jensen's because of its long-standing reputation in the community, and we've recommended it to many friends and fellow boaters over the years. That trust has now been completely shattered. Even more disappointing was the way the incident was handled afterward. Despite the seriousness of the situation--including the emotional toll on our children--our claim was unfairly denied, and the resort failed to take any responsibility for what occurred. Guests should feel safe while staying at any resort. Sadly, that was not our experience here. We are now pursuing legal action and will be sharing this story with the broader boating and fishing community to help others make informed decisions about where they choose to stay. We urge ROYAL SHELL PROPERTIES to reevaluate their approach to safety, security, and customer care. Until then, we cannot recommend this marina to anyone.

One of the property managers literally yelled at me for not agreeing to a certain low rental rate. We asked that she be replaced, which is when they dropped us as Landlord clients. That is no way to address the situation. I would steer clear of renting though Royal Shell.

WARNING to anyone renting from these scammers. The condo itself was absolutely beautiful, clean,…read moreand very nice to stay in. Unfortunately, the rental company's business practices completely ruined the experience, and we will never rent through them again. Before our flight home even landed--and before anyone from the office ever spoke with us--the company charged $650 to my credit card for damage caused by previous guests. Charging a customer's card without warning or a conversation is not the proper way to do business. When we asked for proof of the damage, such as before-and-after photos, they were completely unable to produce them or provide any other form of evidence that we caused the damage. If you choose to stay at one of their properties, make sure you document any and all damage you see the moment you walk through the door. They will charge you without hesitation and without proof. It is really too bad because the property was wonderful, but the lack of integrity from the management company makes it a place we cannot recommend.

This company contracted with me to rent a 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Sanibel, FL. When I asked to…read moreview the condo, I was informed it would not be ready for my February 2026 vacation. Instead, they offered me a few 1-bedroom, 1-bath condos--completely different from what I originally booked. I told them to cancel my reservation if they couldn't provide a comparable replacement. They cancelled but still charged me a 2.5% cancellation fee. The problem is, it wasn't my fault: they rented me a condo that wasn't available and couldn't provide a proper substitute. Yet they still kept $218 of my money. That's dishonest and reflects very poor business practices. I strongly recommend staying far away from this company.

Lovely house, but if you have a concern, don't count on getting in touch with the cleaning service…read moreor with the manager/co-owner, Ryan Block, who supposedly stated he would be in touch with me "soon" after his staff refused to give me any contact information so I could speak with him directly. For such high value rentals, you'd think they'd be more customer service oriented. After some of my valuables went missing, all the operator could tell me was that the cleaning service saw nothing, heard nothing, knew nothing, and refused to put me in touch directly with them or Ryan Block. I have now left the rental without my items and without any contact from Block. The houses are stunning but be prepared for the runaround if you rent. Very, very poor communication and management by Ryan Block and staff. DO YOUR RESEARCH. Update: immediately after posting this review I got the attached voicemail from Ryan Block.

I was left an unwarranted one star review on Vrbo by Ryan Block. I attempted to message on Vrbo…read moreasking the reasoning behind the review and got no response. I paid over 250 dollars for a cleaning fee for a one bedroom condo for two nights, ($184 cleaning fee, $50 damage fee whatever that is, and $25 enhanced cleaning fee) so if the one star review was about taking out the trash or the minimal, normal cleaning that the condo needed after our departure that was more then covered. My family and friends come to Sanibel every year and will not be staying at any properties managed by Dream Vacation Rentals anymore. I do not appreciate the unwarranted review or the lack of communication which seems to be the theme of a lot of the reviews on here. If you are a property owner you might want to choose a management company that doesn't drive off customers for literally no reason.

Extremely Poor Property Management Experience - Fort Myers…read more Marshall Reddick did a very poor job managing my property in Fort Myers. I relocated to California for work (RTO) and left the property in August, giving Marshall Reddick full authorization to manage everything--including tenant placement and payment of utility bills. This was by far the most horrifying property management experience I've had, and I own properties managed in other states. Over several months, I was instructed to reduce my rent five separate times due to what they claimed was a "poor market," yet the company changed real estate agents 3-4 times without my consent. Each time, they failed to run the live Facebook marketing campaign they had explicitly promised. Most alarming, I was later informed that power to the property had been shut off for three weeks before Marshall Reddick notified me. I was told this occurred due to a lack of funds, and only after the prolonged outage was I informed of a potential microbial growth issue--a serious risk to the property that should have been addressed immediately. Despite providing a 30-day notice for non-performance, Marshall Reddick ignored the notice entirely and continued to demonstrate a complete lack of accountability, communication, and urgency. This experience showed a complete disregard for: Basic property oversight Timely communication Tenant placement execution Utility management Owner fiduciary responsibility I would strongly caution any property owner--especially those managing remotely--before trusting Marshall Reddick with their investment.

With his help we got it done in one day. I liked the fact that when he was talking with you face to face he would let a text or phone call wait and keep his focus on you, that is rare in this day and age. Even the closing agent told me more than a couple of times she always enjoys working with Adam as he is very through and has all his ducks in a row which makes the closing process seamless. Adam in my opinion is by far one of the best agents to work with and plan to get back with him again when I plan to purchase a couple of additional lots after my home is built.
