Nice place, but deceptive and fraudulent business practices.
On the day of check-in we were informed via phone by the local property manager, Linda, that the pool at the booked place was out of order and she suggested an alternative, smaller place that's twice as far from the Strip. This is the property I'm reviewing now. Communication there went smoothly and I don't doubt that the pool was actually out of order in the other place (it had been raining a lot).
After inspecting the new property, we reluctantly agreed, even though that meant we no longer had dedicated bedrooms and roughly 20-30 minutes additional commute time (we were staying for an event at the Strip). The host then sent a change request without any price difference, even though the villa was listed for ~$1000 less than was paid for the same dates (3800 vs 4800 or so). I told the property manager that we would like to pay the advertised price, since the new place is a downgrade. She disappeared for a few minutes and then handed me the phone with someone from the hosting company, who told me that the new place is clearly more expensive. I refreshed the listing and they had massively increased the price, just to avoid paying the difference. The property manager listened to this call and just started grinning when I called out the price increase.
I reluctantly accepted the change, because finding a same-day alternative for 8+ people would've been very complicated.
In the end, the place itself was nice and we had a good time. There are definitely strict rules, but they're not overly limiting if you treat the place like your own. Still, we were clearly overcharged by this sketchy location change and I don't recommend booking any stays with this company.
