My boyfriend and I booked a trip with Travelfurnish.com for our trip to Miami this March for Ultra. We had booked our condo BACK IN SEPTEMBER and wired them 450 dollars for 50% of the cost. A couple days before our trip, of course, the property was no longer available. After I threatened legal action, they said they would wire me back my initial deposit money minus 80 dollars (bull).
I'm STILL waiting for that refund! IT'S MAY! These people have been sitting on my hard earned cash for 8 months. Apparently my bank rejected the wire even though when I called and asked my bank they said there was nothing ever sent in the first place. They also gave me some baloney Miami bank number to call and ask what happened on their end. I just got put on hold a bunch and told I'd be called back and never was. This "Dave Daletrust" character from Travel Furnish/ By Owner Stay then said he would send me a cheque. 18 business days later. Nothing. Apparently he's sending me another cheque with tracking WHICH I TOLD HIM TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE (it literally costs a few dollars to get a letter tracked). Ugh. These people are scum.
DO NOT book with any of the sites previously mentioned on this thread that relate to these crooks! I know for sure they operate under www.byownerstay.com THIS IS A SCAM. THESE PEOPLE ARE TOTAL LIFE FAILS AND POCKET MONEY BY RUINING PEOPLE'S VACATIONS. Ugh! Karma will come back to bite them hard. Rest assured.
