Beautiful Wedding Weekend

Overall satisfaction:

"We were in Gearhart for our daughter's wedding. She was married on the beach, just down the road from this beautiful house. Looking at pictures of this house makes me smile, brings back so many great memories of that "wedding weekend". The house was just as described. It is incredibly spacious and charming. We had so much fun walking around the grounds and exploring the area. We understood parking was limited, and that was fine. I do wish there was a second shower, but we knew what we were getting when we rented the house. The management company was great - we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house and had to call them to come let us in. They were prompt in coming over with a spare key! Overall, a great weekend and we would happily stay there again!!"

Fun place but beds were a challenge

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"We had a wonderful week. The house is really interesting. There was a big remodel in 1932--during Prohibition. We could just imagine the parties! --and we had a great time. The location is really great! We saw a huge herd (50+) Roosevelt Elk in the sand dunes just a block from the house. A path right next door leads to the estuary. Cute little restaurants and grocery are a block away.We did have some challenges. One of the beds downstairs was comfortable. The others were saggy in the middle. I do have some arthritis and needed to sleep on a good camping mat on the floor. The beds were not a problem for the children. The house was clean except for a mattress cover that needed to be washed. The kitchen appliances were good. There are lots of nice dishes and pans. A few more glasses would be great. The BBQ worked on one side and needed to be cleaned so we just used the oven."

Lovely with issues

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"This is a beautiful historic home with exquisite grounds and landscaping. But guests need certain creature comforts such as, a mattress that is firm, sheets that fit the mattress, a mattress pad, comfortable pillows, a CanOpener that works, pots and pans that are from this century. The ad said that it had been professionally decorated, however, not one piece of furniture matched any kind of theme and several we’re not in good working order for example: the dining room chair cushions were completely unsuitable to sit on, night stand tables were so flimsy that turning off the lights was a delicate affair. I’m not one to complain a lot. I love the house and had seen it for years and always wondered what it look like on the inside. I’m certainly fine with an older house that still has the original kitchen, etc. I wasn’t even upset that the tub was was only large enough for a small dog. However, it is an injustice to this house not to have it in better working order. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to get some nice utensils, proper bedding, and pots and pans. It also doesn’t cost a lot of money to go to TJ Maxx and get some furniture that looks nice together (the fringe was coming off the couch and the couch sinks backwards-cmon people). The owner should love the inside of this house as much as they love the outside before they rent it again."

Renter Beware

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"First we arrived to find that there is no off street parking, only public parking across the street. There is no driveway at all. Hopefully, they have changed the listing to reflect this. Next, we were given the wrong access code and had to call the managment. Inside is big, but worn down and in desperate need of repairs! Some lights, porch and one room, randomly stopped working during our stay. My daughter wanted to take a bath in the tub, it is so small only a child will fit. Only the hot tap worked, so you can only fill it with straight hot water. I had to add ice from our cooler to make it tolerable. Also, the hot water is really inadequate for a home this size, sleeping 8 to 9 people. Anymore than two 10min showers per hour, and you're out. Hope you don't plan on doing dishes or laundry! Some doors didn't close, the bathroom one didn't lock, one door handle fell off in my hand. Down stairs smelled funny, dead flies in the window, no mattress covers on the beds, everything just screams LACK OF REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. We did not enjoy our stay. I understand old, I live in an old house. This home looks like it was once beautiful, sad it's falling to disrepair. At some point, it stops being "quirky and is just plain old and run down. When I spoke to managment they were polite but ultimately offered no resolution. Basically just shrugging and saying that can't force an owner to do upkeep. I don't think I'll be renting from Oregon Beach Vacations again if this is the type of home I risk getting. If an owner cannot handle repairs and updates, they should not be in the rental business.

We are sorry to know that you did not have a good stay, but we hope to have you check out this home again once these updates are made! Thank you again for your review. "
