Cambria Seaside Getaways

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
Cambria Seaside Getaways in addition to managing rental vacation homes they manage residential rental property. They purchased Don Bricker Properties a couple years ago, and the service has gone from good to horrible. As a property manager they do not make timely payments to the owner, or respond to owner’s emails and phone calls. At this point they owe me three months rental payments and will not respond to me in any manner.
I have never written a bad review on a company in the past, but due to my horrific experience with them I felt compelled to warn other people to stay away from them.

Cambria Seaside Getaways manages rental vacation homes. We rented two homes in May 2012. I DO NOT recommend using this company.
1. We heard about them via one of the social sites (Living Social, Travel Zoo, etc). They advertised a price which we thought was fair. When we got the booking confirmation back, there was an additional $ 175 on it for «cleaning».
2. The cleaning amount was marked up $ 50 over the cleaning fee normally charged when not using a social site. This tells me they are junking fees on and the deal you are supposedly getting, is not really a deal.
3. Both homes we took were dirty at check-​in around 5PM. One home had slept in beds, dirty towels, smelled like mold or mildew, etc. The other home only had dirty bathrooms. Seaside Getaways did send someone out to clean up the first home.
4. They respond to emails when booking and getting payment. They ignore you when there are problems. I wrote them about our experience 2 days after… no response. I can deal with dirty homes, junk fees, and mold. However, I think it is poor when they cannot even acknowledge their screw-​up and respond.
My recommendation — stay at one of the Inns on Moonstone Beach. They are professionally managed, closer to town, and have magnificent scenery.
