I found a condo in Nashville on homeaway.com that had availability on my four-day vacation dates. I paid the $1,000+ deposit with my credit card and agreed to pay the full price on the requested date. I complied with every single term; I didn't change a thing. A day later I was sent an email informing me that my "offer" had not been accepted. What? I lost a day of searching for a vacation home and am shame-faced with the relatives I urged to use homeaway.com. Never, ever again. Do not use homeaway.com. Why did they tell me this property was available?
