We loved the house. The fire alarm at the lower level seemed to be low in battery so it started beeping around 5 am, we left it beeping for your cleaners to be aware. The washer didn’t work or maybe we just didn’t know how to turn it on. Overall it was a great stay and we will come back. Thanks again!

Almost, but not quite worth it
It’s as if this house is in the middle of a lengthy renovation that’s not yet complete but they’re still hosting guests. Piles of new and old building materials scattered throughout the property lot, including in the garage around the ping pong table. Seems like a fire hazard; especially if a brush fire. No hand rail on the left hand side of the stairs up to the main entry door exposing small children to a fall hazard. The railing that is there is scabbed piece of rough structural lumber that gave our 5yr old daughter a splinter. The downstairs fire alarm went off repeatedly every morning between 3-6am chirping and announcing “connection lost” which was frustrating. The exterior windows were incredibly dirty and the glass cleaner left at the property was empty so we had to go buy our own and wipe them all down to see out to the beach. Couch is wore out with torn cushions. GFCI for clothes washer was tripped each time we tried to use it. The location is great, Kiwanda Shores is our favorite but at this price point, guests should not have to deal with all these inconveniences especially being woken up like that. When we stated this in a text the response was to try and send in maintenance staff on the last day while we were on vacation.. how about fix this sort of stuff before guests stay so we aren’t having random people around while we’re trying to relax. There are better properties within Kiwanda Shores at a similar price point.

House Under Construction and Not Clean
This house has potential but ended up being quite a disappointment. While it is close to the beach, the cleanliness was horrible. Upon arrival, we were greeted with an overflowing trashcan and three large black trash bags near the entrance. Inside, the property was dirty with hair on the bathroom counter, food crumbs on the kitchen counter and dining table, and a refrigerator that required a full wipe down. We had to clean almost all surfaces to feel comfortable. Additionally, the property was poorly maintained. One bedroom had a closet stuffed with dirty sheets, one bathroom had dirty towels jammed in the cupboard, and we were provided with only half a roll of paper towels and four bath towels for a party of five. The furniture, while looking new, had seen heavy wear and tear, and the house was mid-construction with building materials all around. The ping-pong table was unusable due to the construction material stored in the garage. The biggest issue was the lack of response or care from the VACASA customer service team. It was extremely hard to reach someone, and when we did, the issues seemed like they might be taken care of, but there was no record of our previous complaints. This could be a nice place, but it needs a change of attitude and management.

Great location to enjoy the beach
We stayed here for Thanksgiving. Our time together was wonderful. The open layout worked well for cooking and dining. Beds were comfortable. Remember, this is a beach house so things are weathered. Other reviews said there wasn't a lot of glasses, plates and cooking utensils, this is still true. I think there were 4 glasses when we were there. There wasn't any spatulas either. Our family adapts, so found ways to make things work, but these seem like simple purchases that would be helpful for other guests. I will mention that the stairs seemed a little rickety for the grandparents. They didn't feel comfortable going up and down the outside staircase. They chose to use the inside set of stairs. The house met our needs for being together as a family and enjoying the beautiful Oregon Coast, we will remember our stay for years to come.

Nice Overall Experience
We read the latest reviews before we went on this trip and prepared accordingly, we also called the management company to confirm the issues were resolved. They responded promptly and overall, we had a good experience. The good - proximity to the beach, spectacular views, fast responses from management company and pretty clean. The bad - we always worried when opening a window if it would fall out, not enough dishes for 8 people, and a large baking sheet that disappointingly didn't fit in the oven. The ugly - a rat walked thru the kitchen on our last night. We were compensated for the unsettling experience and management said they would hire a professional service to inspect and take care of the issue, so that no future visitors would have that experience. In summary, we had a nice time and I would book again, because having those views every day was amazing!

Disappointing
Pretty run down. The downstairs smelled awful, like old urine. This was not expected at the price. Electricity to the kitchen was off. Circuit breaker to the kitchen lights was tripped and we couldn't see in the evening to cook dinner. We cooked using Cell phone lights. We called the property manager and they said a tech would get in touch soon. We fixed it ourselves the next day when we had daylight to work with. By going outside to find the electrical meter we located the fuse box. It was buried behind junk in the garage. Tech called over a day later. The kitchen is terrible. The cooking utensils are very bad. We should have brought our own pans. Lesson learned.

Great View!
We loved the location of the beach home! We weren’t so thrilled with the cleanliness (dishes were dirty, lots of sand in the entrance and around the sofas, and kitchen table and around the beds). Only 2 garbage bags were provided and only one roll of toilet papers. Home needs a lot of updates! Starting with the stove (doesn’t heat very well and food take forever to cook). Dinning room light fan makes a horrible loud noise, upper kitchen cabinets trim half missing and looks like it’s going to fall on someone). Their are no curtains in the living room. The grills were VERY OVERUSED and extremely dirty! Overall great location and the views were amazing.

Great beach access and view, room for improvement
The location of this beach house and the view were awesome. It was generally clean and the large open living space that is great for family. Was wonderful having a washer and dryer to use during our stay as well! It has a ton of potential to be amazing. With all that said (and I hate leaving negative reviews), but there are quite a few things that could use attention. There should be a disclaimer that the bonus area downstairs has no heat with cement floors, it makes that space nearly unusable in the winter unless there was to be a space heater down there. It didn't work out as we had hoped for an additional hangout spot. The bunk bed room is very dark and could probably use another light (maybe a lamp) to help with that. We couldn't get a clear connection with the cable upstairs which is fine but would have been nice to have some DVD movies to watch instead. There were 2 in the closet, and one was an empty case. A simple/inexpensive upgrade to a smart TV in that room could've fixed that and would be a good addition. A couple of the kitchen chairs need to be replaced, there were several missing window coverings (not a big deal in shared space) but also there was one hanging from one side that we ended up taking down as it needed to be fixed. There were 2 or 3 glasses to use and the rest were mugs. Maybe buying plastic cups if trying to avoid breaking so at least there are some cups to use. We also had to replace a couple of light bulbs that were out. All of the above aside, we would stay there again but we hope they improve some of these things before that time comes.

Decent beach house
Like other reviews the view and location are spectacular. The house is older and is in need of some upkeep. There were two refrigerators (one in the garage) but neither cooled well. The pans that were there were minimal and in poor condition. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean but old. They felt like motel quality.

Mixed review
Location and view are fabulous. The house is shabby and needs lots of attention. Needs better mattresses, linens and towels. The bathrooms are painted a terrible brown and paint is chipped. The showers are terrible. Downstairs bathroom was rarely used because it was so depressing. The room with bunk beds was terrible. The bonus room was renamed "The Kill Room" it was so uninviting. Dishwasher runs but doesn't actually work so we had to do dishes by hand the entire week. Vacasa gets mixed review as well. Terrible customer service prior to arrival - like waiting on hold for over 45 minutes. However when there was a leak in the house during our stay they were easily available and the service man was awesome. We all agreed as long as you focus on beach and don't spend much time in the house or look closely at anything in the house (or use too many dishes you must then wash by hand) you will have a nice time.

Clean but Derelict
As a family we rented 3 homes (2 in Kiwanda Shores, 1 on Sunset Dr) - all 5 star properties. This place was such a let down. To be fair we did not contact the property managers (although I did give them a review on their site which seems to have disappeared) as most of the problems were in other, older reviews and we figured if they hadn't been fixed by now they wouldn't be in the 12 days we rented the property. The pictures on the internet are misleading, the place looks nothing like it. Pros Near the beach huge living space well stocked kitchen Lots of towels, shampoo, soaps etc the house was clean good wifi CONS Blinds needed in the bedrooms and and the living area. Its a bit like living in a goldfish bowl. Several broken wall plugs. Outside lights do not work-really dangerous at night. Deck is in poor condition. Want to use the grill - good luck. It's rusted out. Light above upstairs Rt hand bedroom bed doesn't work. There is an error in the TV box making it inoperable. Bedding in upstairs bedroom was not up to standard. A twin comforter for one of the queen beds-really? Wood chip fire is falling to pieces and its wall plug doesn't work. Heat was non existent in the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Heater not working in upstairs bathroom, also shower head needs replacing. Washing machine leaks very badly, the dryer has a malfunctioning auto shutoff - it stayed drying sheets over night. This property needs some serious upgrading. I would not recommend anyone renting this house until all the problems have been fixed. Which is such a pity as the location is great

My stay with family was great, but house was a little run down, trash under stairwell and junk in the garage. No screens on window, bugs. one window hinge broken , main screen door was gone. No shades on front windows, blocking the afternoon sun. The cleaning product , used to clean the floors, was very slippery. not safe. Light in bunk room was out and the curtain was held on by a nail and screw. fell out of place a couple of time. the key box, was pretty weatherized , needed to be clean and lubed. the spray nozzle at kitchen sink needed fixed. Other than that. Our stay was good. Just that I would think the owners would have more pride in ther property, for the price they charge. I only stay for 2 nites. Pretty pricey. Hope you do your repairs.
