We found the different pricing on different sites as well. Some of the price difference is because the site listing the rentals charge different fees to the owners. Some sites have cleaning fees added but not as a separate line item.Well This is annoying. I am looking over rentals and there are several places on tripadvisor with inadequate pricing. One place says $1200 a week but when I inquire about it they said it's $2400 a week. (WAY OUT OF MY BUDGET) and I copied the screen to the email and they said it could be off season price. I said I put in the august dates I am looking for. So be wary of prices on these sites. I found one camp I really like and three different sites have 3 different prices...
I almost think I am just going to say forget it this year. Who knew finding a rental is so hard??!! I almost think I would have been better off going with the rental from July that I found on Craigslist. I will contact him next week to find out if it's still available. The one I have put money down I doubt it will work out. So either I will loose the $1500 I put down or ?. The application for the rental is really bugging me. I mean I am paying cash. and they have my home address and everything. I guess some people have burned others so bad that it's scary to rent to just anyone. I have a good work history and credit is just about A- so I don't think it would be turned down.
God I should have just shut my mouth and stuck with the one on Swan Lake but I didn't like her mixed messages and not answering questions. And in this day and age how do you know it's not a scam? Anyone can take photos of a home and try to rent it out...good grief.
Why are you reconsidering the place you put the deposit on? The web page should have the owner's refund policies listed.
The application could just be their way to do a background check. Maybe they have had a bad experience with a renter
Hope it all works out
