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.

Our experience with Oregon Vacation Homes was extremely disappointing…read more When we arrived, the house was dirty and had an unpleasant odor. We tried to make the best of it, but the biggest issue was that there was no hot water. We reported it right away, and someone came out, looked at it, and told us it had been fixed. Unfortunately, it still didn't work. After contacting the rental company again, they were unwilling to offer a meaningful solution. Eventually, another technician came out and informed us that the water heater was actually broken and couldn't be repaired during our stay. At that point, we had no choice but to leave the house and end our vacation two days early. The only positive part of this trip was the time we spent together as a family. It's unfortunate that the condition of the home and the lack of customer service from Oregon Vacation Homes overshadowed what should have been a relaxing vacation. We cannot recommend staying with this company based on our experience.

Noisy room heater non-stop. Couple in the next room was engaged in loud screaming and swearing (mostly the guy). I was on edge waiting for something worse. Lauren was kind and sympathetic with an apology, but I really believe a discount should have been give (I stayed 2 nights), maybe even with a night's credit. Lauren was great with food recomentations however. Overall the property and room were shabby and in need of maintenance and general upkeep. Not the best. I won't stay again.

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

We reserved this property through Airbnb, but unfortunately, the stay was very disappointing and…read moredid not live up to the listing. The home was not well maintained or adequately cleaned. There was hair in the bed, stains on the sheets and comforter, visibly dirty floors, stained rugs, and a kitchen sink that drained very slowly. We were told laundry detergent would be provided, but there were no pods available. The home also lacked basic cleaning supplies, which was especially concerning given its condition when we arrived. The BBQ was clearly not properly cleaned or maintained. It had so much buildup that it caught fire inside and produced enough smoke to set off the home's fire alarms. The dryer also took an extremely long time to dry clothes. The hot tub was another major disappointment. We contacted the property in advance because of concerns in previous reviews, including reports of bacterial infections, yet it was still disgusting and had a strong fishy smell when we arrived. Someone was sent to "clean" it, but the solution appeared to be little more than adding chemicals. We still did not feel comfortable using it, and it did not appear to be thoroughly drained and cleaned between guests. The game room and kids' areas were also poorly maintained. Games had broken nets, missing pieces, or were falling apart, and some children's chairs were broken and unsafe. Several remotes either didn't work, had dead batteries, or were missing, and promised replacements never arrived. The listing also significantly understates the walk to the beach. It is definitely longer than a two-minute walk and includes a substantial hill--important information for anyone traveling with young children or elderly family members. We were also disappointed by the lack of flexibility with early check-in. Even 30 minutes early would have been helpful, and there did not seem to be a meaningful reason it could not be accommodated. Ultimately, you are paying a premium primarily for the view, but the home itself is not worth the price. It needs better cleaning, maintenance, and basic upkeep. We left feeling that the listing overstated the property and that a major advertised amenity--the hot tub--was unusable. I would strongly recommend saving your money and booking with a private host or smaller rental company that may provide better hospitality and take better care of the property.

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!
