ResortQuest stings vacation home renters with huge cancellation fees, blogger says

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I don't know anything about ResortQuest, but I've used Vacation Rentals By Owner on numerous occasions to book apartments in Spain, Italy and France, and never had a problem--in fact I've stayed in some interesting places and met some interesting people I wouldn't have otherwise.

That said, VRBO is mostly just a platform for arranging rentals between owners and travelers, and the person you end up dealing with may well end up being a jerk or just outright shady. The message as always: get it in writing, and read it carefully.
