Inman Square, right? Very cool! THat must have been fun. If I had to do it all over again, I would have spent a few years closer to the city.

Absolutely loved Luna Vista - dogs and all (I was thinking about smuggling little Frankie home with me). The place was immaculate and very well equipped and the owners are just great. We'll definitely be back.

How exciting! I love that area of FL! My parents retired near Venice - just a bit north of Fort Myers. Love to visit, especially during the colder months here in New England :)

Re: Villa cancellation advice!! Help!!!

Knolmom - I just confirmed Sapphire/Casa Bueno. The villa manager said the same - all renovated, pool scheduled to be re-done next week. It really does look beautiful. Well, it was more expensive than the cancelled villa, but everything else seems perfect. I'm breathing easier now. Thanks everyone f...

Re: Villa cancellation advice!! Help!!!

Thanks Pickle! I'm starting to feel a bit better after the initial panic, but the situation still stinks! You're right; the others we had considered prior to booking the cancelled villa are now either booked or recovering from hurricane damage. I do like the looks of Sapphire Sunrise though; glad to...

Re: Villa cancellation advice!! Help!!!

I've done exactly that - now working directly with the property managers. I've narrowed it down to two villas: Coral Sky and Sapphire Sunrise (formerly Casa Bueno); leaning toward Sapphire Sunrise. Both are more expensive than the cancelled villa, but I don't see that I have much choice at this late...

Re: Villa cancellation advice!! Help!!!

I'm seeing exactly that! The charges seven months ago were pretty straightforward; rate/night x #nights + tax. Now, in my mad search for another villa, I'm seeing that plus additional service fees, additional per-person fees, etc. I haven't actually seen the refund appear on my card yet, but the amo...

Re: Villa cancellation advice!! Help!!!

Thanks. The villa manager took the listing down today, so I guess it must be true. She also sent me notification that my payment has been refunded, so after being all set and paid in full for 7 months, we're officially without a villa 2 1/2months out :( I've been looking but haven't found anything a...

Villa cancellation advice!! Help!!!

Hello all, Help - advice needed! Since this past June I've had a villa booked (thru VRBO) for this coming April. The entire balance was paid in full up front in June. This morning I received an email message from the villa manager telling me that the owners are planning to move into the villa full-t...
