Unsure if legit

Unsure if the property I booked was legit as I did not receive a contract. Rather, an invoice was sent with incorrect contact information. I called the number listed on the invoice to clarify and confirm my booking and the person who answered was not the person listed. Emailed Ownerdirect for a refund and the response was unprofessional and rude. Overall, too many red flags.

Misrepresentation and holding Deposit

I booked a 2 week reservation in Barbados on 9th September and paid a deposit. I had an email to say thank you for your booking and confirmation of what I had booked. The following day I had another email to say that there had been a mistake on their site as the apartment I had booked was only available for long term rentals. After numerous emails I am still waiting for my refund and thy just keep saying that they are requesting a timescale of when it will be paid???

OwnerDirect.com is not OwnerSdirect.com…

OwnerDirect.com is not OwnerSdirect.com - I have used both sites, completely different operations I think ownerS is owned by homeaway and OwnerDirect is not. Both sites easy to use and I found that OwnerDirect.com had great customer service, I could talk to someone when I called for help but on the homeaway site, good luck you are on your own. Good vacation rental sources nonetheless.

Hi Manuel,
That's correct. OwnerDirect.com is not affiliated with the company Ownersdirect - a vacation rental site based in the UK and part of the Homeaway network. Owner Direct Vacation Rentals is an independently owned company based in North America. You can read more about the difference here: https://www.ownerdirect.com/documents/ownersdirect

I would not recommend listing property on any Homeaway.com website

I have had 2 listings on Homeaway.com and it has been a totally frustrating experience. First I pay a large fee to list, then they take a hefty commission on each booking. Now I can no longer contact potential guests until I accept their booking. In addition a large "service fee" was added to the tariff for what I do not know. How greedy can they get. I would recommend not listing your property with this company!
