• Great Private Beach Getaway

  5/5

  My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. The furniture, carpeting, rugs and dishwasher are all brand new. The mattresses were comfortable and the house clean. We appreciated the washer and dryer, as well as all the household additions that made the stay comfortable. Set a bit farther off the highway, the nights were quiet.

  The beach may not be the most scenic in the area, yet the location is close to at least a dozen of some of the most beautiful beaches Oregon has to offer. Our children enjoyed collecting seashells during low tide from the rock formations, and we enjoyed the solitude of the beach overall.

  Our location was perfectly convenient for visiting Yachats, Heceta head lighthouse, the sea lion caves and some of the state parks. Overall, we enjoyed the quietude and peace this little rental provided. We would definitely stay again.

  From the owner: "Dear Sanjeev, thank you for the kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, over the past month, we have focused on a complete refresh of the furniture, carpeting, and cleaning. We are glad it met with your approval and hope to have you and your family return soon!"

• Very strong dog smell

  3/5

  Place is as advertised, but I would not stay here again unless I am desperate to stay with a pet. The living room space smells very strongly of wet dog. Even after placing the provided dog bed outside, the downstairs smelled very strongly of wet dog. The smell was bad enough that we did not hang out in the living room if we could help it.The positives of this place are that the beds are comfortable, it has lovely views and is very quiet.If you have bad knees or hips, note that the stairs could be challenging. Lastly, internet is non-existent in this area, unless you are connected to the provided wifi. This means you need to make sure you have directions BEFORE driving to the condo.

• Great location

  3/5

  The view from this property is great and access to the beach was fantastic. But everything else was just mediocre. When we arrived at the the check-in time, the unit had not been cleaned, with dirty laundry and trash left from previous guests. We did find someone from the maid service cleaning another unit who was kind enough to help us, but she said the property owner had never even told her someone would be staying in our unit, so someone dropped the ball.

  In terms of the home itself, the furniture does not at all match the provided photos. All of the rugs are very worn out/dirty and there was dog hair all over the couch. The queen bed has been moved to the loft area (contrary to photos), which got pretty hot despite the outdoor temperature hovering around 60F. We left the windows open throughout the stay, as there is no AC in the unit, but it would have been nice for a portable fan to be available. Some sand obviously was tracked in, as this home is on the beach, but the broom in the unit was so frayed that you couldn't even sweep up any of the sand. A few mindful touches for comfort and cleanliness would go a long way in this place.

  Homeowner's Response: "Hi Juniper, thanks for your feedback and patience! We are in touch with our cleaner to help ensure future cleaning services going forward are timely and complete. This includes working with Evolve, who can now inform them directly. We are planning to take new photos of the unit soon. In the meantime, we have cleaned the rugs, added a new upstairs fan, and provided a new broom. As a gesture of good faith, we'll refund your cleaning fee. Thanks again for your patience."

• Wonderful view of ocean

  5/5

  We loved our stay. The property was outside the city so it was very quiet and secluded.

  Beautiful location. Absolutely quite besides the sound of the ocean and wind. Clean and comfortable for a couple. Highly recommended!
