WARNING Do Not rent from Top Villas or Reunion Resorts they are crooked. I rented Reunion Resorts house # (594) RVH-365 Address:7443 Gathering Court Kissimmee Florida from July 27th to July 31st. This how was a complete disaster before day 1 began. First of all a day before I was told by my booking agent Daniel Shiling at Top Villas that I would be able to definitely get an early Check in time since I told him that I would be having a BBQ on Sunday and needed to go shopping for the home. I was beyond excited about the rental since this was my very first time ever and waa looking forward to enjoying my stay. So my problems began the minute I stepped off the plane. I called to find out if the house was ready for early Check in and to my surprise it wouldn't be. I asked why? And I was told that the people that had been staying there a few days before had extended their stay, so no early Check in. So I actually arrived a day before and went to the property to browse the neighborhood and house to find the property vacant. So I called Top Villas to inform them of this and they told me that the computer showed it being occupied but clearly it wasn't true after driving around about 3 times that day. I informed Daniel Shiling and he claimed that he was going to reach out to the management company All-star. After getting back to me he informed me that they were giving him a difficult time and that he would call me back. He never did. So I called again the Check in again to see if I would have any luck and not surprised at this point Daniel still had no answers. Now I'm calling Reunion All-star and Top Villas with no luck. So I was basically stranded from my 11am checkout from my hotel until 4pm. At this point I was extremely upset. I finally get to the home at 4pm to find my guests already in the house. How is this possible when i was the one with the door access code. Well apparently someone working on the house let them in without checking their credentials of who they were. I was pissed because how do you let some random people in the house that is not the renter. Now how about if that was a random stranger that could have hidden somewhere in the home to harm us or something. Beyond scary! No one was there to greet us or even show us how to operate items in the house such as the speaker system TV's movie room etc.. We couldn't use the house speaker system because it didn't work. Everything started going wrong immediately upon entering. For example the A.C wasn't getting cool/cold. A.C upstairs wasn't working at all. People were forced to sleep downstairs in the living room on air mattress because it was extremely hot for a young baby 4 month old and a person that has Asthma these are unhealthy conditions to endure. I was pissed at the fact that they were forced to sleep on air mattress's after clearly paying for a bedroom in a 9 bedroom house. I called to complain and I received no resolution my entire stay. We were forced to live in this horrendous condition. Had to have fans running to stay cool in 90 to 100 degree temps in Sunny Florida. Deadly for older adults and small children residing in the home. A few of my guests were forced to leave due to the conditions. As soon as I walked in I noticed that the WIFI was not working so I called Top Villas then I called Reunion and was on the phone with them for 1 and a half hour with no resolution. I was told that they would send someone tomorrow. My sister had a term paper due that day and due to this issue she wasnt able to get her work to her professor on time. They sent someone two days later, when the guy came he wasn't able to fix the problem and said that someone from the company would come on the third day to fix the problem. That first day we tried to watch television and to our surprise the TV'S work with the internet so we had no way of even watching TV in the house for 3 whole days. Crazy! That same first day I went shopping and bought $2000 worth of grocery for my BBQ and household. So after not getting early Check in I didn't get back to the house from shopping until 9pm. We got back and was told that the subzero refrigerator/freezer wasn't working or wasn't keeping the food cold. So I called to complain about that and was told that they would send someone to fix it but of course again never happened our entire stay. I was beyond pissed at this point. No call back from these people absolutely no concern whatsoever. My dream family vacation was a now horror story. Trying to make the best of the situation I tried to have a stress free stay but now the downstairs bathroom was not working either. At this point shaking my head in misery. That night trying to make the best of my trip I go to take a shower and see a huge rodent (roach) crawling in the shower i started screaming not knowing if it would fly out at me. I then called again to complain but apparently no one is available on the weekends according to the representative. At that time I started giving the rundown ofc all my complaints and No resolution and when I mentioned not getting early Check in I was told that it was because they had overbooked accidentally and that no one was in the house before my Check in meanwhile I was told otherwise. At this point all of this is seeming like shady business. These people have me calling all these different numbers for assistance and it was a complete waste of my time. I'm so upset. Also Sunday was my BBQ and again to my surprise the grill wasn't working fully. It cooked on only one side. The flames on the other side wouldn't come on at all. Again I called to complain to David and was told that he would pass the message along. Which unsurprisingly didnt suprise me. These people have horrible customer service skills. That was my last full day at the house and the only thing fixed at this point was the internet. I basically spent my entire vacation being stressed trying to contact them and please my guest. No kinda vacation actually. Why would someone want to rent any property with all these issues im puzzled. Then i spoke with Emily at Top Villas she is the guest relations manager to voice my concerns and she had no sympathy at all for My situation. She had the nerve to tell me that it is not their responsibility that the refrigerator and outdoor kitchen grill was not their problem but the owner of the house. Really who rents a house with all these problems and not be upset and request a refund??? Well I am in the process of a lawsuit. These people are professional crooks. My horror story is still going on because they refuse to call me back and answer or calls. All of a sudden everyone is on vacation at the same time. Funny how that works. No trouble taking my money but hearing my issues is no concern because they already got paid. Same on all these people responsible at Top Villas @TomManning Director at Topvillas @TomScott Assistant Director at Top Villas @Emily Guest Relations Manager at Top Villas and last but not least another rude careless individual James Operations Manager at Reunion Resort. Don't trust these useless uncaring individuals. Don't waste your hard earned money on their crappy property. They don't even deserve a 1 star rating. Thanks!
