This was a great family house! It felt decadent but also kid friendly. Very comfortable, great stocked kitchen, bathrooms were awesome! Great trail to the beach! The kids loved it!

I’ve stayed in many Meredith Lodging properties and have always been so happy with all aspects of our stay. The customer service is phenomenal, the homes are clean and they check in process is a breeze. We book multiple stays a year and I’m already planning our return trip!

The home Crown Jewel is absolutely spectacular. As soon as you drive up to the home you can already see the ocean wrapping around you. The upstairs area has both the main Livingroom and kitchen. The tv is massive and the fireplace is so cozy! There is an amazing massage chair that is so much better than any other chair like that I've ever been in. The kitchen is INCREDIBLE, it has an amazing stovetop, the oven works so fast, there is plenty of dishes and cookware. It's perfect for cooking for bigger families. The dining room chandelier is literally breathtaking, and it has plenty of space at the table! When you go down to the middle floor there is plenty of space between the rooms and it provides great privacy. You are able to comfortably live on different stories without disturbing others, and the beds are SO comfortable! The lounge is honestly wonderful, there is a hot tub, sauna, pool table, and ping pong. The porch is perfect for the hot tub and you can view the ocean while you relax. Overall this home is a 10/10 and literally gave me the perfect vacation!

I need to separate my review into two parts. Property: B- Meredith Lodging: F First, the property was really nice; great value for what you get. There were a few issues with the property, but it didn't impact our visit too much. The gas range is missing parts for the burners to work properly. I don't know what they are called but each burner should have a small plate that spreads the flame out. Those are missing and the flame is a single jet from the middle of each burner. it worked, but not well. Also, it would appear some of the bedding hadn't been cleaned in between stays. At least one bed had hair between the sheets. The game room, while functional did have some issues. The air hockey table only keeps score for one goal, so manual scoring will have to be tracked by the players. The foosball table was leveled using poker chips. If you've ever played foosball, you know that didn't last long before things were unlevel. The ping pong table net was sloppy and would not stay in place for more than a game. It all works but takes fiddling. Lastly, the TVs in the property could use an update. With exception of the living room, all the TVs were small 19" CRT TVs. All in all, I would stay here again if it was managed by someone other than Meredith Lodging. Now, my comments about the management company, Meredith. I will think twice before renting from a property managed by this company in the future. As we were preparing to depart, I realized we were going to be a bit late on our check out time. I messaged Meredith through the Airbnb app on my phone letting them know. They responded rather quickly and indicated that I would risk additional charges if it delayed their housekeeper and the next guest. I understood that. At this time a housekeeper did pull up to the property and was friendly, asked how much longer we would be. We indicated we were almost done and would be gone in 15 or so minutes. At this time, I get another message from Meredith telling me that the housekeeper indicated we "refused to leave and left the house in bad shape" so they were charging me an additional $255. Check out is supposed to be at 11:00a, we were gone by 11:30a. Again, messaging through the app I told the Meredith representative that this was predatory as no one refused to leave nor had they been in the house to see what shape it had been in. Which was clean with all check out instructions followed. Not only had we filled and ran the dishwasher, but remaining dishes were also washed by hand. All bedding at been pulled and put on the laundry machines. No messes were left. A few hours later I got notified by the Airbnb app that Meredith had tried to invoice me $255 but later cancelled the charge. This was obviously because I called them out on their bull and the housekeeper had nothing to prove that we left the property in anything but perfect condition. Beware of Meredith and make sure to document your property with pictures at check in and check out.

We stayed at Juniper house. When we arrived there was a new hot tub standing on it's side in the front of the house. When we looked in the back yard there was a collapsing wooden swing set that had been cordoned off with yellow "caution," tape. The back deck looked sketchy so we didn't try it. Inside the walls were filthy dirty. The carpets had huge stains on them. The bedding had to be from the 60s judging from the color. The fact that all the elastic was no longer working on the flannel sheets confirmed the fact that the bedding was not only old, it was worn out. The kitchen was nice and the space was adequate but I would wait for updates before visiting. We have asked management to refund our money and are still waiting.

The house was very nice for the most part. The carpet in the living room was very dirty - spots everywhere. The back door did not lock. When we requested them to come out to fix, they did. Then it stopped locking again. There were clothes left in the downstairs bedroom by another party. The dryer kept shutting off after about 2 minutes. Had to continually restart it to dry our clothes. The cable never worked. Asked for a discount and reported all of these issues, with no response from management.

We stayed at Depoe Bay Whale Song condo. Dirty area rug , Filthy windows, old, outdated crowded furnishings, Broken sofa, light fixture hanging off wall, old bedding, old and scratchy towels, out dated decor, dark walls, water damaged laminate flooring, old and stained carpets. Entire house needs updating ,maintenance and a good cleaning. Bare minimum tv channels. The only saving grace was the view (once WE washed the windows).

We were very disappointed with our stay at Seacrest south of Waldport on the Oregon coast. The location and beach access were great, but the condition of the house was grim. This home/cabin is very old and lacking. Nothing in the home has been updated since probably 1970. Clearly there has been no maintenance or deep cleaning in decades. The carpeting was old, dirty, and stained. We chose to keep our shoes on in the house so we wouldn't have to touch it in bare feet. The linens were old and very worn, a living room curtain rod was broken and hanging down. Both of the toilets ran constantly and worked only sporadically. Years of grime settled on every horizontal surface - baseboards, door, window sills. I reported my dissatisfaction to Meredith Lodging and they left two messages on my phone, wanting to send someone out to fix the toilets. However, there is no cell service at this location and I did not receive the voice mails until I had returned home. I have since written to Meredith with my concerns, and they have not responded. This place is way overpriced and should be taken off the rental roster. It looks more like it is awaiting tear down.
