Re: Anyone have experience with Preston Green or Americap International Corp (by Steve P.):
I rented a unit through Preston, and in hindsight, everything went by the contract. I will say the price I paid wasn't what was advertised "because inventory constantly changes, and another unit is available at a slightly higher price". Common practice? I don't know. Shame on them if it is, but I agreed to it. EVERY other time I rented a unit at the same property, I had no problem getting a reservation number from the property. But with VHO, everything seemed hush-hush. Yes, I got nervous when I contacted the property and they had no record of me or my reservation. VHO assured me my name was listed as "guest" and unit owner was listed as "owner". Again, hush-hush, very secretive stuff. I don't know why. Again, every other time, owner's name was listed, my name listed, and reservation number with property, not VHO. VHO can pull all kind of reservation numbers out of wherever, but the actual property's reservation numbers are a little more meaningful. I have to admit I was pretty nervous, constantly checking availability at nearby hotels just in case. Too much unwanted stress, that's for sure. This was the 9th week we have purchased from owners at this property, so we have had some experience before at this property. The previous 8 we were always provided with a resort confirmation number. This was the cause of our uncertainty...... So..... Was everything delivered by the contract by Preston? Yes. Will I go through Preston again? No, I don't need the stress. Is this fair to Preston? I don't know, I just know I'm more comfortable with familiarity.
