I had reservations for the ************** in *******, ** arriving **** for 2 nights and had paid in full. I had an unexpected medical issue with my heart about 6 days prior to our arrival and called the Hi-Tide on **** to see what **************** were. We were within the 7 day cancellation period for rebooking. I spoke with **** on who said that I could call back after my heart monitor was attached and reschedule our visit and transfer the full deposit. This was a great relief and I thought very understanding due to my medical emergency.I called on **** to rebook as instructed by **** but was told by *****, the supervisor that they were unable to transfer my payments to a new reservation. This was NOT what I was told by the reservation agent the week prior. If we had known that this was the circumstance, my husband and or one of our kids could have used the reservation. I then looked up the availability calendar for our unit and it wasn't re-listed as available by ****. It still showed N/A on their availability calendar. This left no option for the unit to be re-listed and possibly resold. I would like what was promised at the time of our cancellation, a credit of $374.09 to be applied to a later date. I have proof of doctor ************ and can supply if needed.Customer response

I rented Beach House North July 29-August 1. Upon arrival I saw green mold climbing up most windiw screens, mold caked dirt in most windows ***** and sliding doors and air vents for heater had caked on dust. This dirt/mold/filth is from months/years of neglect. Mold & extreme dust causes respiratory problems so I spent as little time as possible Im unitCustomer response

My letter about ISTAY
The rental house was extremely dirty with months/years of caked on dirt and mold on all window *****, door frames/sliding door frames and green ****/mold growing up window screens. Most windows are dirty so no ocean view.
Master Bedroom balcony had thick mold so view was dirty window looking at moldy deck not ocean.
Heat vents were also dirty with dust quite a health hazard
Oven was filthy. Dish washer was packed and had not been unloaded and property managers state if you dont put dishes in dishwasher you will be charged. ISTAY said they didnt empty dishwasher so I could get in at 4:30 30 minutes early to get ready for wedding but no one called or texted me to let me know.
Sliding door lock in living room was broken safety hazard. Glass missing in living room fireplace another safety hazard
The management refused to discuss state of house and hung up on he several times. Absolutely no service once youve rented
******* is and isolated area with very limited accommodations so we had nowhere else to go as we had a wedding to attend and ISTAY knew this thus a captive customer.
