Paul R.Rats in Bella Vita
Rented Bell Vitta 4661 Destiny Way. After spending the night we discovered the house had rats. One ran across the floor and we tried to catch it. We notified Beach Reunion as I was on my way out to the golf course. The owner contacted me and said they thought they had gotten rid of the rats and he had another house available. My girlfriend looked at Calypso and Santini houses and was told there were no other options. So Bella Vita had a very nice open view area and a pool with a hot tub but had rats. The net rental cost was about $640 per day. We ended up in Calypso, since we had no choice, which had a completely blocked view, no hot tub and was much farther from the beach. The owner initially offered me $300 and later required I sign an agreement not to post anything on any kind of review. I told him that the $300 was unacceptable. He became argumentative and insultive and implied somehow it was our fault and we were in error. The vacation cost nearly $10,000 with travel and everything and I invited my new girlfriends family. I was so embarrassed. I would not recommend this company and would never use them again. I have rented vacation homes for over 20 years and never come close to such a terrible experience.

Owner response
Hello Paul,Although we hate how the results ended we were only happy to assist you. When you had noticed the issue of the rat at hand ( being by a lake they are native to the area) we were more than happy to try to find you reasonable accommodations that would satisfy both invested parties involved. Calypso and Santorini are both larger luxury vacation homes. We did our best to meet all your demands and requests but just were not able to meet them all. We wish you all the best.
