Why would you?
 

I am not one to get on here and rant to much, but just incase this guy is on here I want to make sure he does not mess up your vacation as well.
My wife decided to take the kids down to the LOTO in August for a week vacation, I can not go since I am now a new business owner and cant leave the shop. She found a condo for rent at Southwood Shores from Dave and Judy Meisel and spoke with them back in late May to book it. They told her all sounded good and they did not need a deposit untel the week before she arrived. Then they emailed her on July 13th asking if she was still going to rent it, she told them yes and asked if they needed a deposit and she again said NO. She decided to go ahead and mail a deposit check to them on Friday so they would have it. Judy then emailed my wife today stating that they had rented the condo to someone else and would not be renting it to her. She then called them to ask why and she was told that since they had not received a deposit yet they decided to rent it to someone else.
The strange part to me is the fact that my family was going to rent it for a week, and the people that they rented to are coming in on the day she was leaving anyway and plus they are a 2 day rental, not a week.
So I guess my question is why in the world would people say 1 thing and then do another? If you say you are going to do it then you should stand behind your word, I know I do that. You would think that a 7 day would make the people more then the 2 but not my business decision. She has since booked another place but IMO these people were wrong, plain and simple:bsflag:

Next time skip the Pirhanna infested cess pool @ LOTO and make vacation plans on Table Rock Lake...I doubt you will get treated in this manner down there. Sorry to hear about your experience.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Happy you found a place though. There are many good rentals with professional managers or individual owners out there. Enjoy your stay at the lake, it is a fun place and should be enjoyable during the quieter week days and busy weekend.

That sux. the only time ive had an issue renting condo was one time when using an agency. all the other times ive dealt with the owner directly & didnt have any issues. The agency wanted all these forms signed & then they misfiled them & i had to start the process over.

That sucks. We r putting r time share up for sale. Its the week of 4th of July same week every year only 400 bucks a year

LOTO is a **** hole

Lovely first post gavin, where is your lake property that is better than loto?

any where but there...... Table Rock

Sure you aren't talking about the sad state of Kansas? Why bash LOTO in your first post to OSO? Specific reason?

Gavin, sorry you dont like the lake, but we do. We had a place down there for a couple of years and will again, but I wanted to start my own thing and now we are renting for a week.

Thank you from you that understand where I am coming from. I had another mention in (MWBP) that I should cancel the check as well, since they will more then likely cash it and say we canceled the contract. She had sent it for the entire amount as well, so that is next thing to do in the morning.

We love the Ozarks and look forward to next season when we are back there enjoying it on our boat at our place...
