This was our first experience renting, and our first time to the Oregon coast.
The rental was easy to find and access.
When you first walk in your breath is taken away by the gorgeous view of the ocean, wave, beach, rocks etc.
The tiny balcony was very wet and dirty, but there had been much rainy weather.
The kitchen is perfect, loaded with everything you need to cook or bake. Spice rack too! It was very clean and tidy.
The bathroom was clean as well, some of the bath linens were thinned and worn, but we found plenty more in the cabinets. Lots of storage for your essentials. Water pressure in the shower was perfect.
The living room has an electric faux wood burning stove, which was cozy in the evenings. The floor had quite a bit of dust bunnies and hair, but we found brooms and a vacuum in the closet and cleaned it up.
The leather, or maybe faux leather, sectional was very comfortable, but not until we scrubbed it clean. It had multiple areas of white stains that resembled baby spit up. I found a disinfectant cleaner under the kitchen sink and a scrubby sponge. I saturated the sectional and scrubbed those stains off.
But the worst part of all was the beds. Both beds were dirty. Both beds from the duvet, to the top sheet, to the bottom sheet and pillow cases, were full of hair, both human and possible dog, food, drool stains, and either feces or chocolate.
I immediately called in to communicate to Vacasa the sad state of affairs. We had been traveling that day since early morning and were exhausted and so disappointed as we just wanted to relax. Soon after I received a text from Vacasa wanting photos, I sent in photos of the bed linens, at this point I was not aware of the stains on the sectional. The person I was texting with gave us a colored to a lockbox to get the key to open the linen closet. There was only one set of sheets inside it. I had sent my husband out to get laundry detergent. As I was texting with Vacasa, the woman asked if I would just like some new linens brought over. Yes please!!! In the meanwhile, I removed the duvet covers to wash them. But was so disgusted when I found the brown mystery smears on the comforter. So I washed those too.
The washer is a front loader and of course there was a thick orange tinged slime ball inside the rubber seal that smelled awful.
I cleaned that out as well.
Shortly after a kind Vacasa staff member delivered two sets of fresh sheets and took the dirty laundry away.
Fast recovery!
