I am giving OBV 2 Stars for their (eventual) customer service. I would give the property we stayed…read moreat at ZERO. We booked a stay at an OBV property in Lincoln City during in June of 2023 for our anniversary. In hindsight, they clearly used the "realtor filter" for the photos to advertise this property on their website. While the location of the property is excellent, the home itself, as my wife called it, is "lipstick on a pig". The owners have done some things to improve the home, but really its just window dressing. Between the poorly patched walls and ceilings, the slap dash painting, the falling downs shelves in the master closet, and the poor craftsmanship on the updates, it is clear this house was in poor shape before the remodel, but still has a ways to go. In spite of this, had the house been clean when we arrived, our stay would have been MUCH more agreeable. Right off the bat we could not enter the home because the battery for the keycode panel was dead. We had to call OBV to access the physical key box just to get in. Once inside it was evident that the house had not been cleaned in preparation for our arrival, but was also in need of a deep cleaning. - The bathroom was filthy! Urine and hair around the base, and back of the toilet. Fecal stains on the underside of the toilet seat. There was hair all over the shower. - Both bedrooms had not been changed out. There was a ton of hair on the sheets. A blood stain on the comforter in the master, and some sort of shmutz on the extra comforter in the closet. Thankfully we brought our own pillows, and were able to find clean blankets in the guest room to get us through the night. - The windows, screens, and shades were extremely dusty and dirty, and the slider door track was so dirty the door was difficult to open and close. - There was layer of dust on all the window sills, and dust caked the furnace return vent. When return is located right next to the couch in the living room, its hard to miss. We contacted customer service that evening upon arrival. The OBV rep was very patient, and understanding about our situation, but could not have their cleaning service sent out until the morning. No showers for us after a 5+ hour drive, and an afternoon at the beach. The cleaning service arrived right on time the next morning right at 9am. The housekeeper was extremely friendly, and thorough. Along with clean sheets, she gathered up all the bedding, and later brought us freshly cleaned bedding. Thank you, Winter! The remainder of the week I spent time each day on the phone with their customer service, requesting that our 1st day in the property get comp'd. I explained to them, had the property been a hotel, we would have been offered another room, or had the room comp'd. Finally, on our last day, we received a call from an OBV Manager, Nick Young. I will say, Nick was very understanding, friendly, and willing to help us out with our request to have our first day comp'd. Had this been their response on day one this review would have read a bit differently. The property still needs some help, but the overall experience would been much more positive. I commend Nick, Kate, and Melissa at OBV for their commitment to customer service in the face of a challenging situation.

Why does the booking fee increase as the number of nights increases?!!! 3 Nights - $32.66 5 Nights - $54.93 7 Nights - $76.90 14 Nights - $160.00 I wonder why it would take longer to book 14 nights than 3 nights. The same applies to the Limited Damage Waiver. Also, why is the cleaning fee $105? I can guarantee that the person cleaning the unit is not paid $105.

When we first arrived, the room seemed okay. It was older and had that typical "old house" smell,…read morebut it appeared reasonably clean. Older places sometimes feel worn even when they're cleaned, so we didn't think much of it at first. Unfortunately, our experience went downhill from there. We bought steaks to cook the next day and stored them in the refrigerator, but the fridge wasn't cold enough and the meat spoiled overnight. The range hood above the stove was covered in grease and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and the kitchen cabinets were sticky. The biggest issue was the bathroom. The shower backed up with sewage that overflowed onto the bathroom floor and leaked into the room. All of the toiletries I had brought from home had to be thrown away. Thankfully, the staff moved us to another room. However, the second room (Cottage #127) was even worse. It had an overwhelming odor that never went away, even after leaving the windows open all day and overnight. The edges of the carpet were lined with dust, pet hair, and who knows what. The carpet had visible stains that appeared to be pet urine, and the blinds had been chewed up. The room felt dirty and poorly maintained. Neither room had a bathroom exhaust fan, so the steam repeatedly set off the smoke alarm while showering. The bathroom light also had a noticeable delay before turning on. Overall, it's clear this property is in need of significant maintenance and updates. For a cheaper price, we could have stayed at a nearby Best Western that offered cleaner accommodations, a pool, and complimentary breakfast. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we won't be returning and can't recommend staying here.

I had to remake a whole entire bed in one of the rooms because it was covered in animal hair so there was no double check or cleanliness check. I don't think in that room. It was totally obvious as soon as I started to rearrange the pillows on the bed I noticed all the dog hair all over and I had to rewash my sheets. They did bring sheets to us later, but still that's not what I wanted to do as soon as I already paid a $30 fee to get us in one hour earlier, which I've never really heard of and if you rent Airbnb from him, mom and Pop, then I don't think that they would've done that either. It's all about money to corporation so if you want to not experience a personal stay, do not stay with Meredith lodging

Our party stayed at Sandpiper Retreat in Waldport and after getting settled in we already noticed there was some leftover trash in spots of the garage and crumbs in various places of the house. Not going to ruin the trip and we didn't care, however, 4 hours later we were hearing strange noises around the house and then what did we find? A family of RATS in the garage, Eeeek!!! Reached out to Meredith and they have a very firm "no refunds" and "cleanliness is never 100% guaranteed" policy. Needless to say our trip was completely ruined, waste of money, and we high tailed it out of there and found a hotel nearby. The one funny thing is that one of the neighbors was walking their dog and asked us as we were leaving, "Still got critter issues going on?" (while chuckling). I don't know if RATS are that common along the Oregon Coast but I don't think it's appropriate to rent out a property unless there is complete assurance that the rental is pest free. We deal with enough raccoons when we go camping and this was not expected when booking a "classy" rental. Seems high quality pictures are used for the rentals, and then maintenance and upkeep take a back seat because the way this company operates is taking in bookings, no refund policy, deliver low quality service and send you on your way. If you book with Meredith, you'll never book with them again and quite frankly......they don't care! :)

I can not express enough wonderful thank yous to Alyce and Della at Beachcomber's Haven. Due to…read moreunexpected circumstances ( no fault of the facility) my mom (94) ended up in ER twice while we were visiting. Della was an incredible help in making a not so good time a good one. Last year we stayed in the Salt and Sea which was a wonderful experience. Knowing that, we returned this year to stay in another place. This place has an incredible view of the ocean as the base of the house sits on the sand. We saw whales and many ships and boats while there. The houses are very nicely decorated and very clean. The price is beyond right as is the attention given by the staff. Thank you again Della for all you did for us while we were there. As the above says, As good as it gets, I say it's even better than that!

However, this is my fourth time staying here and dining at the onsite restaurants. The very first time, I enjoyed it and thought the place was beautiful overlooking the golf course and the bay. It definitely has gone downhill over the years. I booked a room for my husband and I for Father's Day this year. It started at the checkin counter. A very unfriendly and unmotivated staff. The room was ok. The person who checked us in said our room was upstairs but it was on the ground floor. Then we decided to eat breakfast. The person who took our order was the rudest, unfriendliest and unhelpful person ever! There are other beautiful places to stay along the Oregon coast.
