Greed

We booked a spring trip for our special needs son who has always wanted to visit Oregon. It was a big deal for our family and we looked forward to it very much. My husband had a full cardiac arrest car accident a few days before trip. Very traumatic for us. This vrbo would not give us even a partial refund even though we had a horrible medical emergency. Complete lack of compassionate at terrible time for our family!!

Great house for rainy days

First the no animals was great as we have an asthmatic in the group. I rent about two houses a year, family on both coasts. For over 15 years. This house exceeded our expectations. I have never had such a well equipped house. The bathrooms had every supply you could need. The kitchen had good cooking set up and the spice cabinet was complete. The grandkids loved the snacks provided the cereal and cheddar fish they could help themselves to. Coffee bar was a nice feature. Most houses offer nothing in the way of basics , even sugar and coffee. The house bedding feels new and all rooms are tastefully decorated. Fireplace was a nice asset. The fools ball and ping pong were great entertainment. The winner was the play bedroom. A walk in closet full of every age toys. Enough Legos for everyone.

Family Beach Trip

We had a very nice 4 night stay here! 6 adults and 4 children. Two bedrooms are upstairs and two are down. Everything looked and felt clean. There were plenty of towels and bedding. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and utensils. And there were lots of extra amenities….like beach chairs, games and puzzles. I didn’t appreciate the wine selection that was displayed because they had inappropriate labels for young children. Surprising, for a place otherwise geared for families. But over all I would recommend a stay here! We had a mama deer with two babies in the yard a couple of the days. And we saw about a dozen elk on our walk to the beach.

Thoughtful Details

This home was exceptionally clean. The "no pets" rule helps with that I'm sure and as a person with allergies, was greatly appreciated. The venue has many thoughtful amenities: A well-stocked coffee/snack bar, ping-pong and other games in the garage with popsicles in the freezer, lots of streaming channels to choose from, and much more. We explored Astoria and Fort Stevens, and had good coffee and pastries just down the road at the bakery at the four-way stop. Very pleasant, convenient rental. Highly recommended.

Swallow the anchor stay

This house is amazing!! Well kept, beautiful home. Lots of room for our entire family of 11. The owners think of everything. Family games, ping pong, yard games, bbq, snacks, cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc. You name it they have you covered!! Excellent!! A wonderful home away from home experience!! We used the kayaks on the lake and just a short drive to the ocean at sunset beach. We even rode the bikes there one day. Close to Seaside and Cannon beach. The only negative was the loveseat was broken and we hesitated to use it for fear we would fully break it. Other than that a definite A+!!! Wouldnt hesitate to rent again.. Thank you

Well stocked

Coffee bar and snacks were a nice touch! House was large, clean, and had everything you could possibly need. The location is quiet and central to all the local attractions. We found the house a little chilly albeit your typical spring break weather in Oregon… sunny, stormy, and even a little snow. A fire would have helped but we didn’t want to have to clean it if I’m going to be honest. The main bed was very comfortable I’m told. The other beds were a little too firm, I’d suggest a few foam toppers. As far as the rules go, they were a little overwhelming, but I completely understand the position the owners are in and feel badly for them… The neighbors are not very welcoming and it’s quite obvious they don’t want short term rentals in the neighborhood. Follow the rules and be mindful that you’re not staying in a frat house and you’ll be fine. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Great Place

This was one of the most well stocked rentals we’ve been to - kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, even blankets! Beautiful location - we even got to see elk out the window. And so much to do! We used the kayaks, clam spades, games, foosball, and the kids had a blast with the toys! Enjoyed our time very much!

House is beautiful, but not worth the communication issues

The house is beautiful, but there is certainly not enough space for 14 people. Air mattress, which was considered a “bed” was flat. Had to fill out extensive waivers to even get the key code, and was only released hours before arrival because we reached out. Very grateful to have been able to enter the house “early” (check in was 5 pm and we were told it was nonnegotiable), but not without significant numbers of condescending emails and communications from the owner. It seems like there is a lot going on behind the scenes with home rentals in the area, but we didn’t really appreciate being treated as if we were going to destroy the place and break all the rules before we even arrived. Especially because we were completely transparent about our plans and number of people. Worth it because we really needed a place to sleep after the Hood to Coast, but otherwise just not worth the hassle and accusatory tone we dealt with.

😬🧐🔍📹🎤🤯🤬

I had a full conversation with the owner before checking in and she knew that we were having a birthday/moving away party with 9 13/14 year old girls during our stay. She had every opportunity to make her rules and feelings known before we checked in. 1st of all we were flagged by security because we had to keep going to the gate to pick up kids. She contacted me, I told her that one of the girls lives in the community and took it upon herself to give out her gate code for a friend to be dropped off and we were also transport kids from gate to house as they showed up. She said that it was probably flagged because we entered the gate code so many times but said nothing about the friend giving out her gate code. Then We discovered a sticker inside stating that they are watching and they have a listening devices in every room. The girls kept talking about how much they didn’t like it. My fiancé was grilling in back while talking on the phone and showing someone that he is being watched. She actually contacted me to let me know that she doesn’t appreciate what everyone is saying!!!! The next morning the last girl came and the girl that lives there gave her code. She said nothing the day before so I thought that was ok. The owner contacted me and said that we allowed someone access that wasn’t on my registered list even if it was just to drop a kid off at the end of the driveway. Supposedly there was a noise complaint as well. The girls stayed inside and were just having a blast being young teenage girls. So, she said she reported us to VRBO AND that we have an hour to get out of her home. I explained I have to get all the kids parents there and had suggested giving the code to the parents so we can have time to gather everything to be out on time. Rather then saying no, in came a new rule, she informed me that it would be $250 per vehicle that came to her house and that I could “pick my poison”! We have screen shots of house ad and rules before our stay and the new ones she added during our stay. We have video of house in perfect condition and we received our deposit back. Before all the crazy stuff, I wasn’t going to bother bringing up the dirty sheets or rotten creamer or that you have to replace “amenities” but this owner was so overboard. We felt violated and traumatized even days after leaving. Judging by her reviews and my experience, she will try to put it all on us but we have pictures and recordings as well, that back us up.
