D&D Property Management

If there is one word that sums this property rental company up, it is unprofessional. I have had two experiences with it. Both were fraught with inconvenience, unprofessional attitudes, rude phone calls, and headaches.
The first time I dealt with this company, they had acquired a listing from another property management company. I had a reservation on the acquired property and had previously paid a deposit on the rental. I also had a valid lease agreement on the property. I was informed by one of the agents of D-​D of their newly acquired management of the property I had rented. Along with this notification came a demand for payment of ANOTHER $ 300.00 deposit. When I asked why they did not simply get the deposit from the other company, I was informed that if I did not pay as they were demanding that they would cancel my reservation. After much back and forth with these unpleasant folks, it took a call to the actual owner of the property to get D-​D to back down from their ridiculous demand.
Fast forward a few years. I reserve yet another property and pay yet another deposit four months in advance of my vacation. This vacation had been in the works for much longer than 4 months and involved coordination with a number of parties. Two months after I reserved my property and paid my deposit, I was met with yet another unexpected and unpleasant phone call. This time, I was informed that I would not be able to lease the property that I held under contract and that I was being moved to a different property. I could either accept the move or have my reservation canceled. I elected the latter in the hopes of never having to deal with these jokers again. I spent the next two weeks trying to locate another suitable property.
My experience with this management company was, bar none, the worst I have ever had in Port A. I have been going to the coast for years and have never had a problem with any other company. Frankly, I am surprised they have managed to stay in business with practices like this in place.
To wrap the story — Thankfully, I was able to find another unit and salvage the trip, but with no small amount of added headache thanks to D-​D. I find great comfort in the fact that I will never have to deal with them again. I provide this review in the hopes that those who happen to try to book a property in Port A will not fall victim to the antics of the circus that is D & D Property Management.
