The villa owner is correct in that no address information would be given out to guests until full payment is received. As stated above, Hampton Lakes is on the H27 and this would be enough information to determine if the location is close enough to your relatives. [msnsmile2]
We dont give villa info out untill full payment is recieved This is the norm
Dont worry everything will be fine when you get there & have a great Xmas vacation

Whilst we, too, do not give out address information until after the full balance is paid, I cannot see any reason why you should not talk to the Management Company for reassurance, though of course they will not give you the address either.
As has already been said, you know where the development is so that should give you a good idea of how near you will be to your relatives. Knowing the exact road will only pinpoint it to a minute or so from the entrance to the community.
I would think from a security point of view, that no owner would give out the full address of their villa until the villa rental has been paid in full. We have booked for the first time through this site for April 2008, we are staying on the Cumbrian Lakes community, we have paid our deposit & we haven't been told the full villa address yet, in fact it mentions that the full villa address and directions will be sent via email approx one week before we travel. We first contacted Joyce via telephone after sending in a request for her villa, she was very nice & helpful on the telephone, happy to answer all the questions we had. I can understand your worries about booking online, i have read about alot of scams on the net, but after looking around this forum for months i'm sure you will have nothing to worry about booking through a link from this site.
Hi Evelyn
I have no vested interest in this site and i am not a villa owner, just a holiday maker like you.
I have just booked a villa through this site for the 4th time,the first being in 2002.
I have only ever been given the full address when i have paid in full. You can trust this site 100%,what is happening to you is perfectly normal. The owner isnt being evasive its the way it is done.
Book your holiday at your chosen villa, you wont be disappointed.

i'm not a villa owner either and i totally agree with Dave, we're now onto our 3rd booking through OV and i wouldn't hesitate recommending one of the villa sites above to friends
thanks to all that replied. i now feel safer about the process.
can someone please tell me where on the site i can find a list of the safe sister sites.
thanks
Top of the page, second line and the first four links take you to four "sister" sites....you will be safe on these.
Having rented several villas off these sites - I would not hesitate to recommend the sites to anyone.
I'm sure you will have a great time in a lovely villa - try not to worry
