Never one update in the months my property was on the market. When phoned, she is very rude. It's clear, her client is bothering her. Her manager knows about her but does nothing/thinks it's amusing. I complained to Windermere Corporate who seemed shocked at first but, again, did nothing. They referred their offended client back to the 'franchise' owner who remains silent. Interesting that Windermere Corporate is unconcerned that a franchise licensed to use their name would disparage that name without consequence. Summary: there is something fundamentally wrong with this Realty and certainly with an agent who is reviewed by this many people in the same negative terms. And yet nothing is done to correct her disgraceful behavior. Remember, you do have choice of Realty firms! Windermere is a never again for me!!!

I liked how they offered lots of little branded aneminites such as shower packs, kitchen packs and hot tub cleaner. The only thing that I didn't care for was the very strict check in/check out times.

I asked for either an early check in or late check out and was denied which is fine but if checkout were a little later it would've been extremely helpful.

**BUYER BEWARE -- I would strongly recommend staying away from Meredith Properties.**…read more I rent Airbnbs and vacation homes ALL the time, and I do not leave reviews like this lightly. I understand that rental properties are not hotels, things occasionally break, and photos are naturally going to present a property in its best light. But there is a significant difference between that and what we experienced here. First, the photos were almost laughable compared with the actual condition of the property. This was not a matter of flattering angles or professional photography--the reality simply did not live up to what was represented. Multiple advertised amenities were broken or unusable, and Meredith Properties showed remarkably little interest in actually fixing anything. The house had bugs and spiders throughout it, with cobwebs in multiple areas, and the overall level of upkeep was nowhere near what I would expect from a professionally managed vacation rental. The problems continued inside the house. There weren't even enough plates and glasses for the number of guests the property was supposed to accommodate. I actually CUT MY LIP on a broken glass provided in the home. The so-called essentials felt like someone had gone out and purchased an assortment of random, inexpensive items simply so they could technically say the house was stocked, rather than thoughtfully equipping a property for paying guests. But the condition of the house was only half the problem. What made this experience truly unacceptable was the response from Meredith Properties. When we raised legitimate concerns, there was seemingly no urgency or genuine desire to make things right. At one point I realized I was apparently communicating with an AI chatbot rather than even receiving the courtesy of speaking with a person about the problems we were experiencing. For a company entrusted with people's vacations--and charging real money for these properties--that level of customer service is astonishing. The overall message we received was essentially: **we have your money, these are your problems now.** And prospective guests should pay attention to something else: **read the other reviews.** I am clearly not the only guest who has had serious concerns. I wish I had given those reviews considerably more weight before booking. Again, I travel frequently and rent vacation properties all the time. I know the difference between a minor inconvenience and a genuinely bad rental experience. I also know that problems can happen at ANY property. What separates a good management company from a bad one is how they respond when those problems occur. Meredith Properties had multiple opportunities to show us that they cared about their guests and to make this experience right. In my experience, they chose not to. My advice to anyone considering one of their properties is simple: **look very carefully at the reviews, do not assume the photographs accurately represent what you will find when you arrive, and think twice before trusting Meredith Properties with your vacation.** I certainly will not make that mistake again.

So a number of months ago, my mother started the process of finding just the right place for our family gathering. She gave this rental agency very high marks and we ended up renting through them. They absolutely went the extra mile and since we were booking so far in advance, gave us a map and let us tour a few properties that weren't currently occupied. You start to notice things not on the rental listing, like parking issues, construction next door and is the view as good as it seems... Once you saw the options in person, the choice was clear. The actual stay went very smoothly and everything they promised was delivered. I would definitely use them again for another getaway to Cannon Beach.

We have rented from CBVR for many years and have typically had a good experience. Things have gone…read moreconsistently downhill. In the middle of the pandemic we arrived for a week long rental to find that despite claiming extensive cleaning between guests we arrived to find the home had not been thoroughly cleaned. Their solution was to bring us cleaning supplies to clean the unit ourselves. I believe they did give us some credit on the cleaning fee however if I wanted to clean a home while on vacation I would have stayed home and cleaned mine and not paid to clean someone else's. This year we rented the same house, and I have to say that the house is lovely, is fully stocked, is one house from the beach but still has a beautiful view. It is on a busy dead end with lots of traffic. Unfortunately we have had a number of issues this visit. First, due to several large and unexpected expenses prior to our trip I had asked their staff member John to hold off on my final payment until payday. John agreed and provided this agreement in writing, however the company took the payment on the original date anyways. They did correct it, but over 6 days later even though Kathy had promised it would be fixed the following morning after I contacted them. Arriving at our rental we find that there is construction being done next door. We have had to listen to hammering and sawing and drilling and whatever else is going on over there the entire visit. CBVR didn't find it necessary to notify us. They claimed to have not known about the construction. Despite having rented from CBVR before, and have always brought a service animal with me (PTSD dog due to being a felony crime victim), they seem to suddenly have an issue with this. Today is day 6 of my rental and this morning a neighbor had their dog off leash and when I asked them to hold onto their dog so that it wouldn't approach us the neighbor became upset about it. Not long after I received a phone call from Kathy at CBVR who reported that they "had noticed" that I had a dog at the unit and had not paid the pet fee. I reminded Kathy that I have always had a service animal since I began renting from them and that service animals don't require fees. When asked how she "noticed" my service animal she reported that she had been driving by and had seen him. Pretty odd since we are on a dead end and she would have had to specifically come down to the end of the road... but just to spy on us. She claims that she drives by ALL of their rentals Finding this to be quite strange I asked her to tell me what my dog looked like. She stated that it was a rottweiler or a pitbull (it is neither) but that she didn't really know her breeds, which was understandable. I then asked her to tell me the color of my dog and she said black and brown, but my dog is white and tan. Since she obviously had not seen my dog I asked her how they did not know about the construction seeing as she drives by all their units. At this point she placed me on hold and after a few minutes came back to say that she wasn't going to answer any more questions. This is because she/they are obviously dishonest. Harassing people with disabilities is so 1960s, Kathy. I cannot in good faith recommend this rental company any longer.
