We arrived at the building; we were assigned to condo 302. Once we walked in we noticed dirt, stains, and scuff marks on the walls, the bed linen was stained and worn, someone had left hanging beach towels in the room along with a computer charger. We were uncomfortable staying in the room based upon the condition. We were reassigned to condo 303, it was in "better" condition, but not ideal and the linen on both the beds were worn and stained. Despite the discomfort, me and my partner were going to settle for the condo 303 and went to purchase bed linen, once we returned we were attempting to get in touch with the PM "Gabby" who had been communicating with us via text.

We attempted to contact her numerous times, finally once my partner called from his line she answered. At that point we were no longer interested in staying in the condo, the condo was NOT up to our expectations of comfortable and clean, the property manager was difficult to get in touch with, and the doors can only be locked by code not a key. The building and immediate surrounding area did not "seem" to be the most secure or comfortable area. Once we finally got in touch with Gabby and told her we were not comfortable staying there and would appreciate a refund she IMMEDIATELY began yelling, became rude, and said "the website did not say the rooms were perfect", "if you are not satisfied go somewhere else and pay $200 a night, but you are not getting a refund", and many other rude remarks.

I have never in my entire life dealt with someone so distasteful and disrespectful. I literally had to hang up on this PM because the conversation was becoming very serious. My partner called the same number back and a gentleman stating that he was the PO by the name of "Cory" if I am not mistaken answered the phone. He was very polite, apologized for the conversation, and asked was there anything he can do to get us to stay; I told him after that conversation there was no way I would be willing to stay there and asked again for a refund.

He told me he would give me a call back and never did. This occurred July 10.2014 at approx 7:00pm. Also, I found out that they tried to charge my credit card for the other 50% without consulting with me first, I truly thank God that it was declined because this company would have stolen $612 from me. We booked another hotel closer to all of the major attractions, in a safer neighborhood, and a much better hotel for less. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND VIEWING THIS PLACE IN ADVANCE TO SEE IF IT MEETS YOUR EXPECTATIONS!!

Highly Unethical

AUTHOR: S.W. - ()

POSTED: Friday, February 06, 2015

I have never dealt with such a highly unethical company before in all of my travels and accomodations. To begin with, this company's rebuttal has done way more damage to their company reputation than my review could have ever done. It is extremely unprofessional to attempt to not only slander my name, but also misinform consumers of the utilization of the Condo and the situation that occurred. I am successful and value integrity, your attempt to slander my character will not go very far. I strongly urge consumers to take heed of this company's lack of professionalism and integrity before booking travel accomodations. 

INVESTYLE Real Estate- Karma is very real.

Shenice C Wade Liar and Scam Artist

AUTHOR: SBeachRentals - ()

POSTED: Thursday, February 05, 2015
The cleaners were running behind so we moved to a similar one down the hall.  After check-in we tried to charge her card but was declined due to lack of funds.  Shenice became argumentative and said she wanted a full refund.  She did not like the area, and one of the sheets on the bed had a small stain.  The owner of the company politely spoke to her a short time later and tried to resolve.  She said she would think about it and call us back.  Meanwhile her and her boyfriend showered in the unit, watched tv and used the bed.  After repeatedly trying to call her, she eventually filed a chargeback on her credit card and left.  The owner eventually arrived a few hours later to find the unit empty with wet towels on the floor and unit clearly used.

Not really sure why Shenice C Wade feels she was the victim here unless she thought we would just let her stay in the unit for free.  Its certainly not the 1st time someone has tried this with us.  While we are only the management company, the unit owner was left with an empty unit that he now had to pay to clean again and no money.  Most people who enjoy one of our rentals never say anything.  They just come back to stay with us again on their next trip.  Of those that have left reviews on our many ads online can see how much people have not only enjoyed the units we manage here but also the area....HomeAway, VRBO, AIRBNB to name a few.  This is a nice area (South of Fifth or SOFI) and one of the most popular and wealthy sections of South Beach.  It is very likely because her card was maxed, that she found something cheaper nearby.  I guess SHE felt she needed to post the incident on the internet as well.   

Anyone thinking of employing or doing business with Shenice C Wade should be very cautious.  I'm sure this is not the 1st time she has posted on Ripoff Report when she doesnt get her way.  She is obviously comfortable posting permanant bad reviews on the internet about individuals or companies when upset.  You too could find yourself being slandered online with one of her stories for your friends, family, and other business associates to see.  We place hundreds of reservations each year and most all ejoy our units, low rates, and come back everytime they vacation in Miami.   It can take years to build a good reputation, but just 1 or 2 people like Shenice Wade to ruin it.
