  On 4/23/24 we used **** to rent a 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom duplex in ****** that was managed by Stay Heirloom. We received a confirmation the same day which included a picture matching the original duplex listing on ****. When we checked-in on 11/30/24 we found our unit was a small 2 bedroom unit which coincidentally still matched the pictures of the 3BR/3BR unit that was on both the **** listing and the confirmation, I immediately contacted Stay Heirloom and was told that we had only rented the two bedroom portion of the duplex. Heirloom then offered us a different unit for an additional $300 which we declined. When I looked back at ****, there are two different listings owned by Stay Heirloom at the same location we were at. One was the three bedroom duplex we thought we rented and the second was the unit they offered to us for the additional $300. There is no listing anywhere on **** for the two bedroom unit we were given. I have already contacted **** but have received little support.This feels like a case of bait and switch - In good faith we rented and paid for the duplex - were given a smaller unit and then Heirloom's only resolution was to offer us another unit for an additional $300. We question which units actually exist. and feel that Heirloom may be purposely misrepresenting their rentals.

  Dear *** **************,
  

  Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. At Stay Heirloom, we are committed to providing our guests with the highest standard of service, and we regret that your experience with us did not meet your expectations.
  

  We understand how frustrating this situation must have been, and we empathize with your feelings. When you booked, you received a confirmation indicating that your reservation was for Cozy Boston Home | Near T, a 2-bedroom unit within a duplex. We have reviewed all records and logs on our end to ensure that no errors were made when securing your intended reservation, and we confirmed that the reservation was made for *********** Home | Near T, a 2-bedroom unit. Despite this, promptly acknowledged your concerns and coordinated with our reservations team to explore solutions, including offering you a discounted rate of $300 for an additional unit to enhance your stay, which you ultimately declined.
  

  Our dedicated team works diligently to ensure every aspect of your stay aligns with our commitment to excellence and always ensures that all listings on our platforms are accurate reflections of our actual properties. While the listing you booked is currently taken down as we refine our pricing and marketing strategies, it was available at the time of your reservation. For future reference, we do offer multiple different booking options at this property, some of which do include three bedroom units. It is entirely possible that you saw some of these while making your reservation 
  

  Again, we sincerely apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced. Should you have any further concerns or need assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out.
  
  Thank you for your understanding,
  

  Heirloom Team

  My complaint is against Heirloom Stays My family book a three night reservation for 09/27/24-09/29/24. Due to a pending Hurricane forecast, and declining weather conditions, we tried to reschedule our dates a few weeks later.They were not willing to make any modifications to accommodate the circumstances. We traveled from far and near places throughout this country, in spite of the treacherous weather conditions, only to arrive at a house with no electricity. Heirloom was fully aware of the power outage, however, they never notified us about the situation. They emailed us the door entry code and all of the entry instructions, but not a word about the power outage. Their customer service team promised us a full refund. The net thing we heard from them was a change in statement offering us a partial refund.All 20 of my family members now facing dilemmas concerning non-cancellable airline tickets, lodging, prepaid food catering, and above all, an uncaring response from their customer service team. We finally found lodging in ************, **.. costing many unplanned dollars. A lot of money and many planning hours was sacrificed for this event. The most practical and honorable thing they could have done is to offer us a full refund and reasonable compensation for travel for the inconveniences and extra expenses their company caused my family.

  Dear *** *****,
  

  Were truly sorry to hear about your situation and want to express our empathy during this challenging time. In our initial conversation with the reservation holder, we acknowledged your concerns about the impending hurricane in ******** and provided information to assist you during your stay. Given the unpredictable severity and trajectory of the storm, we always encourage our guests to prepare for potential power outages.
  

  Please know that our local ground team and emergency services are always ready to assist throughout your stay. The safety and security of everyone is our top priority, especially during this state of emergency. 
  

  Please also remember that when a property is reserved, it is taken offline and is prepared exclusively for the upcoming reservation. Because of this, our cancellation terms are upheld regardless of the circumstances surrounding the cancellation. Our cancellation terms are thoroughly outlined in our Short-Term Rental Agreement, which is signed upon making a reservation with us. These terms specifically note that the inability to travel to the premises for any reason, including inclement weather, flight cancellations, etc., does not entitle guests to a refund.
  

  Whenever a cancellation is requested, our team makes a good-faith attempt to work with our guests, including discussing any possible refunds.  However, if we are unable to come to an agreement within a reasonable timeframe, we must adhere to our cancellation policy.
  

  Should you have further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
  

  Thank you,
  

  Heirloom Team

  Dear *** *****,
  

  Thank you for your response. We truly empathize with your situation; however, the property was accessible to you and your group for the duration of your reservation. You were able to check in and drop off your bags at your requested time of 1:00 PM, which is not our standard policy, but we made this accommodation to better serve you. 
  

  While we understand that power outages can be frustrating, they do not impact a property's habitability. A property management company's responsibility includes:
  

            1. Maintaining the building structure
            2. Keeping heating and plumbing in working order
            3. Exercising ordinary care to keep the unit habitable and access safe for tenants

  The property had running water, and aside from the temporary power outage caused by the storm, it was not damaged or impacted. Given these circumstances, there was nothing preventing your use of the property. Further, our local grounds team and emergency services team were on standby in case you needed them. A landlords failure to repair and maintain accessibility only constitutes uninhabitability when it results from negligence, which, in this case, does not apply. We always ensure that our homes are prepared and maintained to be healthy, presentable, and habitable. The power outage was due to the storm affecting the area and was beyond our control.
  

  Ultimately, the space was reserved and available exclusively for your use during your stay. While we are disappointed that you chose not to remain at the property, we respect your decision. At this point, we are adhering to the terms of the contract.
  

  At Stay Heirloom, we always strive to provide excellent service and an exceptional experience for our guests. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out.
  

  Sincerely,
  

  Stay Heirloom

  We booked a stay in ******** ******* from August 5-8, 2024. A few days before our departure Hurricane ***** was making it's way to the Florida coast and heading toward ******** *******. It was reported that their could be record amounts of rain in ********. We held out until Sunday night to decide not to go due to having airline tickets booked. Over the next 3 days (Aug5-7) we were in constant communication with Heirloom concerning our trip and kindly asked for a refund due to a state of emergency in ********. However, he kept referring us to ******* ****** said it was up to the host to determine whether or not the cancellation policy could be over ruled and an exception could be made. After numerous phone calls and messages, ****** had trouble reaching the host. He refused to answer. However, ****** not the host agree to give us $600 back. I understand their cancellation was 48 prior to arrival however, we had no idea where the hurricane would track for sure until a day before. Overall, this company had no consideration for the amount of money we spent and the safety of their visitors.

  Dear Ms. ****************** you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding your recent stay. We have carefully reviewed your feedback and wish to extend our sincere apologies for any dissatisfaction you may have experienced during your time with us. We take great pride in maintaining our properties to the highest standards of luxury and comfort for all our guests. Our dedicated team works diligently to ensure that every aspect of your stay aligns with our commitment to excellence. 
  
  Regarding your safety concerns, we assure you that the neighborhood surrounding this property is secure. We remain proactive in monitoring our homes by employing a Nighttime Security Team to ensure our guests are secure and comfortable throughout their stay, and by positioning security cameras outside of the property to offer an additional sense of security. When you reached out to our team regarding your concerns about the surrounding neighborhood, we offered alternative properties to transfer you and your family to at no additional cost, however, these alternative accommodations unfortunately did not meet your preferences.
  
  Our team has made every effort in good faith to work with you and achieve a satisfactory resolution. We regrettably found ourselves unable to issue a refund due to the allegations made against the property, which we believe to be baseless and not reflective of our services. We are committed to striving to provide exceptional services to guests, and hope to address any outstanding issues with you directly should you wish to discuss this matter further.

  HEIRLOOM, 

  The fact that you have had to employ a night time security team proves my point exactly. My case rests. If its a perfectly safe neighborhood then this would not be necessary.  This is the last resort to give my money back or i will just go to Amex and tell them to handle your unethical team.

  Dear Ms. ********************* you for your response. Regarding your concerns, nighttime security personnel are a business standard offered as a preventative measure across all markets. Just as hotels have security rooms, we offer security across the board, regardless of market or location,  as an additional service to our guests.
  In alignment with in person responsiveness required by many municipalities, nighttime security officers demonstrate that we are committed to minimally impacting neighborhoods surrounding where we operate.

  On August 4th I booked a listing from Stay Heirloom on Airbnb excited to travel to *********** with friends November 3-5. On October 14th, I reached out to them on Airbnb with the following message: Just spoke with my friends that I scheduled this trip with. Two of them have had major health complications occur in the past month, and they realistically will not recover by the time of the stay.One has three collapsed vertebrae and isnt medically allowed to sit in the car for more than 1 hr **** and the drive is 12. Is there any way we could, if not have a full refund, reschedule this stay to March **** or 22-24?Despite me reaching out in good faith and also in follow up messages offering proof of medical issues, the request was denied and they were completely unwilling to offer any movement of dates or full refund(instead Im only offered the standard 50%). The money refunded would be a huge help to my friend in being able to afford his surprise medical expenses.They repeatedly insisted I reach out to Airbnb for assistance, but Airbnb of course clarified that the host makes the decision on matters like this.If I reached out several days prior to our stay I would understand the denial, but given that I reached out weeks ahead Im pretty shocked by the lack of humanity in any responses Ive been given.

  I messaged the company on VRBO and never heard back. Once booked they emailed me to tell me my request was not possible. Not a problem, I will take a refund. But they are not offering a refund. So we can't use the house AND won't get a refund. And it is a year from now. So I am just supposed to be okay with forgoing 8k? Their support team just kept saying "sorry I can't help" instead of just giving the refund? I don't understand why. This is really bad business. Lost all trust with them and VRBO for working with them.

  I recently completed a short term rental stay through Stay Heirloom a ****** based company. While the house i had a reservation for had a faulty pool - they were able to move us to a smaller house with working pool. There was an overall difference per night of $200 for the remaining three nights. I believed Heirloom would honor the price difference and update our reservation to reflect the other rental unit and the lower price and they did not. They would only refund a total of $300. I worked with them on the additional difference - including tax difference but they ended communications with me.

  We were not given multiple options - we were given one option to move to a smaller place not the same size. We had one less bedroom and the per night fee was significantly less. The difference in value between the $476 we paid for 5 nights to then be moved to a smaller house - fewer bedrooms at $285 night for the remaining 3 nights of our stay. This difference is $573, not the $300 you provided. This doesn't account for 2 days of having a pool that was not working - I am not sure how to factor a refund there. But the frustration is we ended up in a smaller home for less money then what we paid.   We paid for a home where a significant  item was broken. We had two days where wo could not use the pool. You moved us to a smaller house and did not update the reservation to reflect lower difference.

  Heirloom double booked our rental. They gave the code to enter our unit to another family without our consent. They entered our rental unit. This is completely unacceptable. Management requested us to move, stating a family of 55 rented the whole house. We declined. Then, a few members of other family came to our unit and requested us to move. They were NOT happy we stayed .We expressed our disappointment with the management company for double booking, but told them we had booked prior to them ( Feb 2022) and were not going to leave. This made for an uncomfortable and very unsafe situation. I expressed this concern to Heirloom and request they be moved, or some of them. None of their family relocated, so now there were ******************** this home. SIXTY SEVEN. I requested 3 times on Friday and twice on Saturday a call from the manager, nothing was done and manager never called. Once they told me they would call me back in 5 minutes. Nothing. I had to request our door code be change, and a group of us had to miss a booked tour waiting for a person to come and do this. I don't believe for one second this was an honest mistake. I know they have many short term rental violations previously filed. This company doubled booked knowing so, hoping one of us would move to one of their vacant locations. I am requesting a partial refund ($1000) for time spent dealing with this completely avoidable situation, and cost of tour we missed.
