  Dear Grace- Thanks so much for coming to our rescue. We were fortunate to find this condo available on such short notice. This was our first trip to this beautiful location. We will definitely be back again. We all enjoyed the location & your pleasant hospitality was greatly appreciated. The oranges were delicious . . . The sunsets just beautiful . . . Thanks for the memories- Jim, Nina, Jonny & Joey Chicago, Illinois

  Dear Grace- What can we say- your condo is so delightful and your hospitality and kindness is something that we will never forget. You know how important this break was for me and I can truly say that Oceanside and you have helped me heal. We take so many happy memories away with us, the trips out, the chats we've had and the laughter. You are amazing Grace! Thank you so much for everything. Tricia & Andy U.K.

  Our family of 4 were greeted warmly by Grace upon arrival. However, during the course of our stay issues arose that we found disturbing. We booked the condo for 4 nights and did not stay the 4th night due to a family emergency and voluntarily forfeited the cost of the 4th night. During our booking, Grace assured us that my deposit would be returned prior to our departure. She failed to mention that on Friday (during our stay) there would be a 3 hour planned power outage. This was extremely inconvenient for our family since we remained indoors that day due to cooler weather. The kids couldn't watch TV and I couldn't use the internet for work. My understanding is that any interuption of service needs to be informed to the renter prior to the booking. She even made us do her work for her by repeatedly telling us to unplug all the TVs. And not only did she tell us, she came into our condo with her key while we were still sleeping, yelling "hello!" from the living room. I've never experienced such intrusiveness! We called her later that day to inform her of our early departure and asking her if she can do a walk thru so we could get our deposit $ as promised. She declined and said the condo would be cleaned on Saturday and she would send a check out then. We provided her with verbal contact info as well a written information in her unit. We never received any email confirmation for the booking so I asked her to send me an email detailing the rate, cleaning fees, $ owed etc. I haven't received an email to date nor a check. She calls me today (Wed) and tells me she mailed the deposit check out today and there was a delay because of a discoloration on the granite top from water. Maintenance came to take a look and apparently everything was ok. She also accused us of taking a red towel but a green one was left behind so that was ok. And before hanging up, she said by the way, she accidentally made the check out under my boyfriend's name rather than mine (which we specifically told her verbally and left my written name and contact info on who to make the check out to). We left her property in great condition. There was no discoloration on her granite countertop. We didn't take a towel nor bring any. Being a vacation rental owner of a property on vrbo and homeaway I am extremely disturbed by this experience and would never rent with her again. Let's see if I even get the deposit check she supposedly sent.

  Owner response: We are so sorry that our guests did not have a relaxing vacation. Because of a cancellation, we offered our condo for the four nights at a 37% discount. Regarding the deposit: Sometimes we are able to get the cleaning team in right away and are able to return the deposit that day, if that is what is desired. Many of our guests are repeat visitors and leave their deposit to reserve for the next year. We were happy to return the deposit to these guests within a week. We acknowledge that there was confusion about the deposit check. It was sent to Gregg since he made the reservation and we now realize that Lynette wanted it in her name and not Gregg’s. Regarding the power outage: We attempted to tell our guests about the power outage by phone calls and notes on the door. We did knock on the door twice and waited for a response. We assumed they were out for the day. Grace entered the unit, announcing her presence at about 11:30 AM. Grace was startled to find someone in the unit after getting no response from phone calls or knocks on the door. It is our policy to call guests when something is left behind (whether it’s a towel or a piece of jewelry). We wish that this family did not have a family emergency and a stressful time, rather than having the relaxing time that most of our guests enjoy.

  The property was as advertised. The reception was good and the place was clean. However, we will not go back to this place as our camera was taken. We left the place early in the morning to get to the airport and the camera was left on the kitchen table by accident. When I called to inquire about the camera, we were told that it was not there. I explained where exactly it was left, but nothing was resolved. A sour ending with no pictures to remember the trip.

  Owner response: When we received a call that a camera was misplaced, we checked the unit and it was not there. Our guest replied that it may have been left in the rental car. Of course, we want our guests to show their vacation photos to friends and family; that's our best form of advertising. Most of our guests are couples or families that return because they enjoy our great location and comfortable, clean unit. We do all in our power to make their stay as relaxing and fun-filled as possible because we hope they'll come again. The family that stayed during these August dates in 2010, have already made their reservations for 2011. We love renting our one unit because when people are on vacation they are always happy. We're sorry that these guests had a poor experience as they were leaving to return home.
