Business ProfileforHarbor Point Vacation Rentals

We reserved a vacation rental house from Harbor Point Vacation Rentals in January and had paid 50% of our cost to them already. On July 18th, we were notified by email that our reservation was cancelled. They claim that they had the right to cancel, however, none of the paperwork we received in January made any mention of that action. This action represents several things. First, it is false advertising to claim monies on our behalf, hold the monies for over six months, ($2330.00) and then return to us without any interest being paid to us. The Harbor Point business has made interest on our funds. We demand they repay us those funds. To date they have not returned our deposit. Second, this is a fraudulent business practice that needs to stop and they should be held accountable to the paperwork we signed in January, not some vague reason that they did not define. The owner of the property should honor the contracts made on behalf of this negligent action by Harbor Point Vacation Rentals. None of the emails we received had the last name of the employee just Amber. We had heard, from other sources, that they were not a reputable business, yet we had tried them this past January and they were not real quick to fix the problems that we encountered at the Gulf Breeze location. This house for next January was called A Point to Remember, and was a much nicer place, supposedly, than what we had this past January. The employee, Amber, offered four other places that were substantial less suitable than the reservation we had. We feel they have taken advantage of us and should honor the contract. The malfeasance on their part needs to be corrected, as evidently this has happened before to other renters. At this time, we will probably not be able to find a suitable place for next January due to their illegal action of cancelling our reservation. They will probably relist it for a higher price as the area rentals have risen quite dramatically this year. Thanks.
