Hi Lovely people of Javea. I have recent booked a villa and am wondering if it actually exists!! I have looked on google maps and I can't recognise it from the pictures on the web site. The address is below. I just wondered if anyone lived near by and if I sent the link to the website if they could tell it was there. It could be that it has been renovated since the google earth shots. I've had some lovely holidays in Javea but you do hear of nightmares of people turning up and accommodation doesn't exist.

Property ID - Negrete - Calle de la Orquídea, 6, 03739 Jávea, Alicante, Spain

Thanks

Kx

You don't mention doing this, so find it in Google Maps and then switch over to Street View, so you can see ground level pictures.

Also Earth view from Google Maps is very limited. If you've got the Google Earth program installed, you can use the Ctrl and Shift keys to rotate and tilt the view, giving you a much better view than just looking down from above.

I did do this and the villa looks nothing like the pictures. I think its all a scam and am not going through with it.

Thanks for you help though

Hi Kay,

That is actually my Villa ! It is only advertised on HomeAway and not on any other website. It is called Villa Vistadelmar. I am trying to find out how I report them for scam. It is in that area but not the address you have given. Any questions please message me.

Sorry for the long response time I've only just seen this. I reported the company to the British Fraud department who failed to get back to me. I hope you have not had people Turing up thinking they had booked. Loved the villa by the way maybe I'll try and find it on Home and Away. I put a notification on trip adviser and a few people said they had been scammed. Turned up and the villa had been occupied by someone else.

Thanks

Kay
