FishHawk Ranch Vacations from $756

Property was very clean and well maintained. The unit was well equipped and stocked w/ laundry/dish detergent and plenty of towels.

2/5 stars — Avoid: False advertising, poor conditions, and dishonest billing We booked 5 nights at the Avalon but left after 3 due to a string of issues. The "beachfront" view advertised on their website was misleading — in reality, our room overlooked a public parking lot, with the actual beach a few hundred feet beyond that. Amenities weren't much better: the towels and pool/beach chairs were worn out and old, despite an extra $40/day charge to use them. The shower grout was visibly moldy and the sofa looked like they got it off of a curb. After complaining to Expedia about these issues, I received an email from the resort at 5am on day two saying they'd refund our stay, but that I needed to check out by noon that same day or be charged for an additional night. I was off-property in Orlando at the time and couldn't make that window. When I returned, I told the front desk I'd be checking out the next morning at 11am (making it 3 nights total), and they simply said "ok" — no objection, no mention that this would affect the refund. Despite that, I was billed for the full 5 nights. When I called to dispute it, they claimed that because I didn't check out on the exact day specified in their 5am email, they were no longer honoring the refund. Between the false advertising, dated amenities charged at a premium, and a resort that goes back on what its own staff acknowledged, I would not recommend staying here.
