We thought about renting a vacation home. Has anyone stayed at Premier?
I called around to get some referrals and here is what I came up with so far:
-Agents won't tell you anything because they don't make a commission on these rental homes-so they were no help.
I called the BBB and Chamber of Commerce- they won't refer...just tell you if there were any complaints that "haven't been resolved". That tells me nothing because usually complaints are resolved one way or another but I don't want to have the complaint in the first place!
Finally- I got the number of the Inspector of the vacation homes for the state licensing board...she wasn't happy to hear from me because as you can imagine she doesn't want to be inundated with calls...so I promised not to give out her #. But she said that she has had complaints from people who stayed a t Elite and Families First (lots). She said Premier was the best. She kept the call short but it's so far the best info I could get.
Thinking of going with with Premier even tho they asked for $15 a nite more. We only need 2 BR but they promised us an upgrade to a 4 BR what they call "Executive" home (better decor and a jacuzzi). We really love the idea of a Jacuzzi and the smaller homes don't have them.
We are still worried. After seeing all these posts for vrbo I am wondering if I can't keep trying and get an even better deal. Sometimes peace of mind- however fragile- is better than $15/nite savings. Any thoughts??
