Got a call from itrip the evening before our morning flight to be told that they had double booked our rental in FL. No apology for their mistake just a comment of "they don't know how it happened". We flew to FL not knowing for sure we would have a place to stay. Got a text once we had already arrived that we could not have the unit we reserved but had been assigned another (lesser) unit. We were NOT happy with this unit but had little choice. Wish I could post photos here...lots of black mold in kitchen and bathroom and on air conditioning vents - concerns about air quality with so much black mold in vents, old broken furniture, on and on with issues. When I expressed our dissatisfaction with the relocation , again, no apology but I was told that I should be grateful because they had to move another renter completely off the property and I should "let it go". When I inquired about a refund for the difference in cost between the units I paid for and the one I was moved to... no reply, no refund. So.. if you want to pay good money up front for "maybe having a place to stay" and "maybe having a clean/safe place to stay", and "maybe " not being charged for a unit you don't get to stay in ... go ahead and roll the dice. Otherwise, I would recommend using a different property management company.

I tried to book a house through furnished finders and they changed the price at the last minute from 2500 to 6000 a month. Then I went to their website and found multiple other people already had this house booked for various dates during my stay. If I had gone forward I guess they would have canceled everyone else's bookings. These guys are not to be trusted. ***update*** After they left the reply I feel the need to mention that only after they tried to remove this review multiple times, first by saying I never tried to book and trustpilot found in my favor, then they tried to say the review was defamatory or had hate speech in it. Trustpilot again ruled in my favor. So even the reply to my review was misleading.

Let me start by saying - yes they were right, it’s in the contract BUT I didn’t want to cancel my booking just change dates due to my companions vacation request being revoked. Daytona Beach - Same room, less popular time (january 2025 from December 2024 - both long ways off). But nope it’s in the contract - no changes allowed, so I lost my deposit of $100 ($140 Canadian). So they got my $100 but they won’t get my rebook and get another $900.00. I’m going elsewhere. So before you book - make 100% sure life isn’t going to happen or buy their overpriced cancellation insurance

Unfortunately, this trip was less than ideal. Check in was Friday at 4pm, but we had not booked the reservation until after that, at about 6pm. We arrived at the unit on Saturday around 1am. When we got in bed, we were greeted by small black hairs all over the sheets, pillows and floor. It was obvious that this unit was not cleaned thoroughly, if at all. When we woke up, we went about our day enjoying the beach. When we arrived back to the unit around 5:46pm, I went to bathe my kids and realized there was red mold in the bathtub. I had a missed call from 3:20pm, a voicemail and an email from 4:14pm from iTrip’s office (which seems to be run by Price Morgan), the host of the unit. I saw the email, immediately called the unit manager, Mary, who did not answer. I listened to my voicemail, and to my surprise, they were planning to show the unit in the middle of our trip on Sunday at 1pm. On the voicemail, Mary said it was completely up to me and should only take about 5 minutes. I brought up via text that this was inconvenient as we had 2 toddlers who need naps, the tub was moldy and the hairs all over the bed. There was no response from iTrip until Sunday, the day of the showing. I had multiple calls with iTrip on Sunday to let them know that this was absurd. If they had a showing, this unit should have been blocked off. Emily from iTrip told me “Per the agreement you signed, we only have to give you a 24 hour notice.” It was less than 24 hours, FYI, if you want to play these games. She made it clear at that time that I could not decline, and it was not up to us, and now it was going to take 20 minutes. She went on to say they had been trying to reach me about this since Friday afternoon (keep in mind, I booked at 6pm on Friday and there was NO discussion about a real estate showing.) I called them out, said that was not true and we do not consent. She went on to tell me the only way it can be resolved is by allowing the showing and then someone can discuss my concerns with me. We begrudgingly agreed. I decided that all of this sounded like BS and there is no way this is Airbnb’s policy. I called Airbnb who informed me that this was a complete violation of their privacy policy and hosts are NOT allowed to schedule showings while the room is booked through Airbnb. I called iTrip back to inform them of this, and Emily apparently did not know how to work a mute button, because I heard her when she put the phone down to say “she is now rejecting the showing and says this is against Airbnb’s privacy policy.” I told her that I could hear what she was saying, the call disconnected. After multiple calls, iTrip and I ended up landing on the agreement that the host would refund $100 back to us for the inconvenience of the showing, having to rearrange our day, clean up the unit and having to vacate the unit, as well as $245 refunded for the cleaning fee since the unit was 100% NOT clean in any way. We agreed we would be out of the unit at 12:45 and would return after an hour. At 12:41, 4 minutes before we were to be out, after we had rearranged nap times, cleaned the unit, vacuumed, did the dishes, etc., Emily at iTrip called to let me know the showing had been cancelled. If you have toddlers, you know how difficult being ready on time is, changing naps, etc. Additionally, they would only refund $245 for the cleaning fee, have not seen that refund yet. Our entire trip was ruined dealing with their disaster. Price Morgan/iTrip is a liar. They wanted to cover themselves since they had made a mistake with scheduling a showing and renting out the unit on Airbnb. They had flyers all over the unit stating this unit costs over $500,000, which i am sure is why they were so pushy about us letting them do it. Airbnb should be ashamed to have these kinds of hosts on their site. If they attempted to bully us into it, I can assure you there have been more and they have gotten away with it as they were FAR too confident. To reiterate, there was no mention of the possibility of real estate showings on the Airbnb listing, since this is against Airbnb’s privacy policy. And as I see they’re trying to claim some of these are not “genuine experiences” - Cierra Wheeler, The Commodore #903 confirmation 4114769

Completely untrustworthy. I reserved and put down a deposit on a property in November. Two months later, iTrip informed me the property was "no longer available" without further explanation. To accommodate them, we agreed on another property for the same dates. Then, two months later, was informed iTrip would not honor those dates. Their "reason" was that I had not "fully confirmed" the second substitute option they provided. When you have over $1400 in my deposit, and send me a text message confirming the substitute rental, that rental is confirmed. The "fix" they offered was for me to consider a third property. Nope. Be careful when using VRBO or AirBNB that they aren't funneling you to iTrip. They're the worst.

We stayed at 405 Kima at Madeira Beach and were very disappointed. The pictures looked great, but in fact the place was badly in need of a total redo. The furniture was broken, very worn and mostly unusable. The couch was so lumpy you couldn't find a place to sit. One chair is so worn it is hard to see the original color. The recliner doesn't recline, with handle broken off. The whole place was filthy. The shower floor is black with filth! Ice maker is broken, blanket had holes and had spaghetti sauce? on it. No common amenities like a hook for robes, etc. I contacted the owner about the gate code and told him the place was dirty. He said he has nothing to do with that, but in fact, he manages his own condos. So yes he does have something to do with that! Overall, the condo was misrepresented and we feel cheated. Called the emergency management # when we got there and no one answered. Needed the wifi password and didn't get it until the next day; it should have been there with all the other notes. Won't be back!

Stayed in a property in Beaverton and the house was full of ants. Contacted the rental company and they refused to move us and instead did a "treatment" that made no difference and they knew would not have an affect for another 3 weeks. Would constantly wake up covered in ant's and several of us ended up with rashes. The only resolution was to offer a discount on a future booking which was woefully inadequate as we would never stay at one of their properties again after our experience. Definitely stay away

I used itrip for 3 weeks in South Africa, Jhb and I had a driver by the name of Wonga. Very professional, insightful, informative and interesting conversations. Would recommend him at any given time for any trip
