Has anyone tried to get out of their summer beach vacation yet?

If so, what was the response from the rental agency/home owner?

I'm thinking of getting a cheap rate after everyone cancels

Garret realty response to me
At this time we are not aware of the impact of the oil spill on our beaches. Seeing as how this is something we have not ever had to deal with (thankfully) we are taking it day by day and at this time our normal cancellation policy is in affect. Please contact our office at 1-800-537-5387 with any questions.

wife and kids are thinking about it. gulf shores at the end of may. they go every year but this might break tradition.
they stay with in-laws at camp ground so cancelling is not a big deal.

I predict Corpus Christi will see a boom in vacationers.

I just emailed the company that booked our lodging in Florida...I will let you know what they say...

Brett/Robinson says you can cancel at anytime with no penalty.

Wow ... that's pretty big I think for BR to do that ... I frankly think that I'm surprised in a way. That is who we always book through when going to OB.

I was curious as to how Garrett was going to handle it.

we are in the Destin area...

OUCH for the condo owners who count on rental income to make their mortgage payments. And this is going to hit them at peak season.

what is he thinking? Does he have it booked up all summer?
Posted on 5/3/10 at 12:59 pm to The Sad Banana
does he collect 50% up front and the rest a few weeks before the trip starts?...hopefully, the mortgage companies can work with the condo/home owners so they don't have to suffer too much due to this mess...
Posted on 5/3/10 at 1:02 pm to Chicken
Hm, I don't know the specifics about how he receives revenue from the rental.
If I were someone who already made reservations, I wouldn't concern myself with not going. I'd still want to go just to go. The condos still have pools and there's still a bunch of fun stuff to do there.

yea right the pool will have like 300 people in it.The smell will be very bad

We're probably going to cancel our Sandestin trip. We talked to them and they said no penalty if we reschedule. But they said the beaches were fine.

quote:Oh, I agree. We spend our entire day at the beach. But, the condo is free for us. So, we can still go and not have to pay. That's why I would still go.

The point about the pool is correct...there will be about a thousand people out there.
