Villa Rentals Reviews for Wonderful Sunny Cottage Rental on Whidbey Island in Whidbey Island

January 06, 2012

Reviewer: Ryan From: Seattle, WA

I had two of three weeks off from work at the end of the year (one week of vacation, then a week of work, and another week of vacation) and badly needed a vacation.

I booked with the owner for the first week a couple of weeks in advance. 1-2 days before the day, I hadn't heard back from the owner so I emailed. She said that her husband double booked it without her knowing. So now, I had to scramble to find another place on Whidbey that had vacation during the holidays.

In the same email she told me it got double booked, she tried to offer me a different location. I was furious so I didn't respond, until she followed-up with another email asking if I got the email. I said I did and mentioned that I had another week off upcoming. She said that she would give me 10% off if I stayed during that week.

I took her at face value (that they accidentally double booked) and less than a week before my second week of vacation, I asked to reserve it. She said it was open and quoted me for the full week, as well as per day. I told her I would like three days.

Two days prior to my arrival, I get this email:
"We just found out from out last guest that the hot tub is not working. I am guessing you want to use that? We are trying to get someone in to look at it tomorrow but have not heard back from him."

This was the last message I received. No updates, no apology - didn't even address me by name.

I get the feeling that this owner likes to "award" the place to the people who either pay the most or for the longest duration and cancels out on the others who have "reservations".

If you choose to stay here, have a plan "B" or you could be like me - writing a negative review from home instead of being on a getaway.
