Really quite worried...villa
I hope I'm just being over anxious but its only now Im going through the last minute details of everything that I'm really concerned how legitimate our villa is. We've found it on Homeaway a while back and contacted through them. Ive never used them before but was reassured by the positive reviews and book with confidence guarantee. Anyway, the owner replied back with a quote and we made the first payment, I thought via homeway but everything that has been processed by wonder vacation homes. My trip isn't showing on Homeaway which is very strange? All correspondence has been with Wonder Vacation Homes; they have now processed the last bit of our payment, sent me the documents etc but have asked for a photo of my card and ID. Ive heard this is common in US but because of my reservations about it Im reluctant to do that yet. Has anyone on here ever used Wonder Vacation Homes? Is this usual with Homeaway? What shall I do?! I'm still waiting for a reply from Homeaway and thought I'd ask the good people of the Dibb too!

A quick google is bringing up some odd stuff.
yelp/biz/wonder-va...omes-kissimmee the best review on here is from the manager himself ( Bruno?). Did you pay direct to bank or use a credit card?

We used a credit card but I found that too; see what I mean about it just feeling a bit weird? My DH and others in our party are reassured by the app they have, the paperwork they have sent etc but I don't even know what to do next from here? I don't want to send my ID and stuff to them without being sure they're who they say they are.

Perhaps I really should start to prepare for the worst Was so hoping someone would come along and tell me a happy story about these guys! Just reviewing all my stuff and they really do seem genuine in their approach; the contract is clear with expectations etc and tbf they've done everything they said they would, when they've said they'll do it (processing payment, issuing contracts and codes etc) But still, something just doesn't seem right and those reviews just make me even more uneasy

Why dont you try phoning them, assuming there is a contact number on your correspondance somewhere.

I've been using HomeAway for years and all my payments have always been processed by them showing on my bank statements as them.
Fingers crossed for you. xx
