Ryson Vacations Palm Springs

Ryson has managed our property for over three years and we could not be more delighted with their service and professionalism. Anytime we have a question or need assistance, they are highly responsive and often go up and above what is expected of them. The market in Palm Springs has become saturated with rentals, so its true that property owners arent having as much success with renters as we were during the pandemic, but Ryson does everything possible to make sure that their properties are rented and proactively communicate their strategy to their owners. And despite Ryson growing considerably over our time with them, the service they provide is still highly personalized and personable.

These people are crooks. Please read through all the reviews here and on Yelp. If anyone else would like to contact me for the lawsuit please do so on Yelp. I have 3 former clients 4 including myself who will be suing this company for all damages, stolen items and loss of income. I know there are others out there but, this is an announcement that I have their former cleaners and clients that have given statements. Dont let this company anywhere near your home. They think Ive gone away but I havent, the damage that was caused to my property and personal items was devastating and items were irreplaceable, such as art pieces, only makes me want to build a stronger case. I am happy to provide screenshots and other peoples information, to validate what I am posting here. If this company has caused similar damage to your home please contact me. Beware and thanks for reading.

I asked Ryson to manage my Airbnb in 29 Palms which I had previously run very successfully for a year myself. We did not discuss them making any changes to the property. I received one email asking if they could remove some couches. Fine. I arranged the removal of the couches. I hired Ryson at the end of August. They didn't list the property until the end of October. In the meantime they billed me $3,000 for some incredibly silly expenditures including 5 POUNDS of black pepper for a two bedroom house, $12 curtains from Amazon that the said cost $200, and the world's cheapest microfiber sheets and duvet covers that I would never ask guests to sleep on on the desert. They hired possibly the world's worst real estate photographer and the listing looked *terrible* therefore in one month of listing with Ryson the house, previously almost always fully booked, had an astounding TWO bookings. Both of them over.major holidays. Having grown concerned about the lack of bookings and a fresh invoice for more nonsense my husband and I began discussing terminating our agreement with them. In the meantime I confronted them about the $12 curtains they said were $200 and they abruptly decided that our property wasn't up to their paper thin microfiber sheet "standards" and that they were terminating the contract. Hallelujah. We were unable to make it back to the house until late November. We knew from the listing photos that that had moved around a lot of stuff and that the house was devoid of character, but we assumed it had just been MOVED. There is tons of storage on the property. Nope. Ryson trashed our belongings. Everything from large furniture pieces to small items like most of our cutlery and mugs. They just trashed it or stole it. They never bothered to ask. We love our house and our belongings. We lived there during all of 2020 and raised our daughter there for her first year of life. They threw out some stuff that was precious to us that we had forgotten to put into storage. We have never had a guest treat our property as badly as Ryson did. Never mind the thousands of dollars that they billed us for absolute nonsense, or the fact that they never hosted a single guest in several months losing us thousands of dollars in rental income. The fact that they threw away things that were meaningful to us *without* even so much as bothering to ask makes me deeply sad. They threw out my husband's (who is a successful artist who has shown at LACMA, etc.) first painting for God's sake. Who does that?They refuse to acknowledge that they've done it too. I suppose because they want to avoid being sued, but we don't want to sue them. We just want closure. I decided manage the Airbnb myself again. How can I trust another management company after this? I am grateful that our house has had occupancy around 75% in the last two months I have run it despite using pictures I took on my cellphone. These guys don't understand the market in the high desert whatsoever. None of the properties in this area are even half as well booked as mine. But who cares about that? These guys are scumbags who throw out people's belongings and won't even apologize for it.

We have rented many properties from this agency in the past and for the most part we never had issues but lately we been running into surprises here and there. For instance, all sheets to every bed, all covered with human hair and what appeared to be pubic, especially their pillow cases. Their toilets, not throughly cleaned! door handles and switches, all stained with finger prints. Windows all dusty from inside. Cobwebs in corners. Blood stains on the carpet rug, linens, and towels (probably from the housekeepers). Refrigerator smelled like a seafood market. Bbq grill, covered in grease totally unclean. Bathroom shower walls were not washed because there was hair still stuck from the previous guests. People probably don't catch it but they just have to take a closer look. I would think since we all pay a reasonable cleaning fee of $300 that you'd expect these homes to be spotless. If I were to take a wild guess I would say the cleaners are just dusting  and not actually wiping or disinfecting all surfaces. Hotels are no better but unless their cleaning protocols change or they hire better cleaners, we're considering going to a new vacation home rental agency from here forward.
