Meredith Lodging is my preferred place to rent vacation homes in the Lincoln City and Newport area. I love knowing that the houses will be clean and paper supplies and soaps provided. If there is any problem they are always available. I was astounded one night to text them at midnight about a refrigerator not working and have them respond immediately with a offer to send out a repairman. If anything is not working they are available 24/7 to make it right. That is worth a lot to me to ensure my precious vacation is not ruined. I highly recommend them.

I absolutely loved Ohana Shores! This cute house is located in Lincoln City across the street from Roads End State Park. The home was absolutely perfect for my family of 5. Plus, its pet friendly with an ocean view. Meredith Lodgings customer service was and is amazing. I would recommend Meredith Lodging to friends and family and anyone looking to vacation. Thank you for making this a perfect getaway. ❤

My family and I recently stayed at a home managed by Meredith lodging in Sunriver and was unfairly charged $500 for damage to the carpet which was there present on our arrival. It took me an agonizing week to even get to TALK to someone in management which was beyond frustrating. All of the receptionists I spoke with were helpful but there was nothing they could do to correct the mistake. It felt like Amber, the guest service representative who actually filed the incident report and charged me was avoiding my calls and only ever responded to me through a message from the receptionist. I finally was able to speak to someone in management a week after my first attempt at contacting them and thankfully they were able to look into the mistake and refund my money. I received an apology and a small credit to our account to use towards a future stay if we choose to do so but honestly don’t think I will take them up on that and don’t think I could recommend this company with a good conscious.

Outstanding customer service. I have rented from them for the past few years, and their team really goes the extra mile. Houses on the Oregon coast have maintenance issues from time to time, but Meredith has stepped up every time. From fixing a broken lock, to providing wifi passwords. They even dropped off a bottle of wine and some fun Meredith Lodging wine glasses. The houses are always very clean. That is something I truly value. And its the little touches, like the origami on the paper towels...it shows they care. I have tried other rental services and they do not compare. Book with Meredith if you want a truly relaxing, hassle free vacation. We all need that from time to time.

Ive stayed at meredith lodging properties 3 different times. In 2020 i had reservations to stay in april was cancelled BY meredith lodging because of covid. Rescheduled for September again canceled by them because of fires. Called back on jan. 21st 2021 for same week as first reservation, just a year later. Was told it was going to cost me addition $1000.00. When they had canceled on me they stated i could rebook for future stay at no additional cost. Now that im trying to rebook they are trying to up the cost. Im even trying to rebook same month and same days of week. I would understand if it was more night or different day but its not. I think this is extremely dishonest and crooked. UPDATE shortly after this post i received a phone call from a young lady named Holly, she was very personal and remembered our conversation from 4 or 5 months ago. She addressed my concerns and was very helpful and kind. Needless to say, she honored what i was told in the beginning. She rebooked my vacation, in same property at no additional cost. THANK YOU SO MUCH HOLLY!! Meredith Lodging is lucky to have you. Thanks also to Theresa for having this issue solved so quickly. You will have my business back!😁😁😁 Sincerely Terri Mitchell

I am filing a complaint against Meredith Lodging, an Oregon vacation home rental company. Meredith Lodging refused to refund a deposit on a vacation house that I later became unable to rent because of the COVID pandemic. Here is the basis of my complaint: The information below was conveyed in writing on October 25, 2020 to Meredith Oksenhult, the owner of Meredith Lodging and on November 29, 2020 to Julie Johnson, the actual owner of the property. It describes the approaches I used to reach a fair and reasonable agreement with Meredith Lodging that would comply with governmental safety measures. My family, friends and I rented the Wave Watchers’ House (WWH) in Lincoln City, Oregon for many years -- first through Zona Nelson, then through Pacific Retreats and finally with Meredith Lodging. A recent examination of my financial records indicated that since 2014, I have paid $11,309 for renting the Wave Watchers House. Before 2014, we paid Zona Nelson for renting the Wave Watchers at Thanksgiving as well. My friends, family and I were loyal renters and always did our best to take care of the WWH. On October 25, 2020, in a written letter, I asked that Meredith Lodging (ML), the property management company that represents the WWH, to reduce the rental charge for our Thanksgiving 2020 holiday stay. In my letter, I explained that our group consisted of people over 70 years old who are at a high risk for contracting and suffering severe health consequences from COVID-19. In the past, we were able to have up to 10 people in the house and we reduced our rental costs that way. Our 2020 per person cost for the Wave Watchers rental would have been approximately $236 per person had the pandemic not struck the United States. In mid-November, Federal, State, Municipal and Health authorities are all urged people not to gather in large groups for Thanksgiving and Christmas. In an Associated Press article that appeared in the November 20, 2020 Oregonian Newspaper, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “pleaded with Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving and not to spend the holiday with people outside their household.” Because of the reality of COVID, only four of our original group of ten would have safely been able to stay at the Wave Watchers house for Thanksgiving 2020 – at a cost of $590 per person. This would have stretched our budgets considerably and consequently made our stay there unaffordable. When we agreed to rent the Wave Watchers House from Meredith Lodging in late 2019, we had no way of knowing that a pandemic would invade the United States and make our traditional Thanksgiving holiday unsafe and unaffordable for us – and would have violated the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a trusted arm of the the United States government. We then asked Meredith Lodging to work with us to reach a reasonable compromise. In my October 25 letter, I requested that Meredith Lodging, the owner of the Wave Watchers House, and our group reach a fair compromise with which we could all live safely. Using the per person figure of $236 cited previously in this letter, a total cost for four of us staying at the Wave Watchers this Thanksgiving would have been $944. Since we already paid a deposit of $388.25, our outstanding balance would have been $555.75. We also told Meredith Lodging that we were willing to discuss shortening our 2020 stay at the Wave Watchers if that would have helped us reach an agreement. Unfortunately, our request for a reasonable compromise was turned down. Because the COVID-19 pandemic made the cost of renting the WWH unaffordable and unsafe for us, we cancelled our Thanksgiving stay at the WWH and lost our deposit of $388.25. To make things even more unfair, a person who was in Lincoln City during this period observed that the Wave Watchers House was full of tenants for the entire time – proving that Meredith Lodging would not have lost any money by refunding us our deposit. I requested that Meredith Lodging refund our deposit charge of $388.25 that my family, friends and I paid to them in December, 2019. This second request was denied as well. I am once again requesting that Meredith Lodging refund the deposit of $388.25 that I paid in December 2019.

We spent a week at "beautiful day" in Lincoln City Oregon. What a great place to take the family for vacation, what an amazing home. Sitting on the large deck watching the surf, sipping a hot cup of coffee in the morning was probably my favorite part, ok maybe it was sitting in the hot pool gazing at the stars in the night sky listening to the surf. An awesome location, literally steps from the front door to beach walks, sandcastle building or looking for beach treasures. We did have a last minute request to make an extension to our stay, and Theresa did all she could to accommodate our request, which we really appreciated. Everyone at Meredith Lodging was great to work with, and we felt they really wanted to make our stay perfect. Thank you Theresa...and the rest of Meredith Lodging staff for the exceptional customer care.

I have used Meredith Lodging on 4 occasions now. ' This is a tough review to write because they do some things very well but they also do things that make me not want to book with them: Pros: They respond relatively quickly They provided us a full credit to reuse within a year when they were not obligated to do so The booking confirmation is efficient Negatives: The 4/5 pm check-in times and 11am check out - if you want us out by 11am let us in the rental by 3pm please - they need to get their cleaners on a more efficient schedule instead of passing on the burden to the renters The last house we rented (Star of the Sea in Lincoln City), had a great view but the inside needed a LOT of work and one of the 4 bedrooms was super noisy. I would be open to using them again if they can get earlier check-in times. For now, I will go through another property management company or rent direct via family/friends
