I owned a house that was rented out by Meredith Lodging for two years. They hid damage to my house, and to the items within my house. I am completely convinced that housekeeping is incentivized to not report lost or damaged items to home owners. When we off boarded they stole all of our owner provided linens. I wouldn’t let them manage my house if they were the only choice left, they’re awful and incompetent.

Most everything in the house was worn out. The Jen-air we had for a microwave shorted and popped breakers. The sink faucet had no aerator in it and the water sprayed everywhere. BBQ tank was empty and we had to use our own till they replaced and the BBQ was burned up. All patio doors did not work properly and all cooking pots and pans were worn out and destroyed. I wouldn't of used the pots as a dog bowl.

So far my experience has been dissapointing. I have two upcoming rentals and everything I request, and these things are very small. Like if the property was ready, coild we check in 30 minutes early. NO! Anyway, they do not bend from theb“rules“. ! Lind of rediculous.

We stayed at a Meredith Lodging vacation rental June 16-21 for which we paid $3854. So many things went wrong in the house that my 5-day vacation was ruined, interrupted with trying to live for a while with the problems, report the problems, and have a workman in the house repeatedly. Afterward I emailed about our experience, asking Meredith Lodging for a 20% refund which I thought was more than fair for the continually interruped vacation we went through. They did not even respond to my email! I called, asking to speak with a manager which didn't happen, so I asked that my request be explained and be sent up the chain of authority, and someone get back to me. They never called back. When I called back several times, each time the staff said they didn't have authority to provide a refund, and I went through the same procedure. Finally staff offered me $300, which I firmly refused, given all my family went through. No one ever called me back. When I called again, they offered me $300, and said they had no idea whether anyone up the chain ever considered my request. Here is what my vacation was like: 1) Two family members sat in lawn chairs in the garage which immediately cracked, sending the to the cement floor. One experienced back pain for most of our vacation. 2) In the main bathroom, the toilet leaked, and the maintenance man had to come twice. 3) Although the house was advertised as accommodating up to 10 people, the living room where we gathered for talking, games, & TV had only seating for 7. 4) Preparing dinner, the garbage disposal sent up chopped potato peels & water into the main sink which was then stopped up. It remained so through all the rest of dinner prep and the whole evening & overnight. We called for the maintenance man in the morning. 5) The first time we used the oven, the outer door fell off and there was no way to repair it. The inner door wouldn't stay shut without a heavy chair propped against it which we then tripped over. And the door fell open several times while we tried to cook a casserole. The maintenance man was to busy to come the next day, so we dealt with the problem for 2 days. 6) On our last day, a radiator cover fell off. We were unable to reattach it, and nails were sticking out. After 5 weeks of trying to pursue this, nothing has been done to compensate us, even a little, for our stressful experience.

Me and my family are currently staying in a Meredith property in Manzanita, OR. Our check in was delayed an hour and a half, which we took with stride, thinking they wanted to give us their best and needed a little extra time to clean for whatever reason. We arrive at the house for the new check in time only to find the floors covered in crumbs, the surfaces sticky and unclean. The bathrooms are filthy. There's no towels, no soap, none of the beds are made. And forget even having the beds made, there are no clean sheets. The trash cans still have stuff in them from the last group of people here. There are dirty sheets piled outside the laundry room. And there is sand and dirt in the hot tub, making it unusable. We call the office and are understanding (truly, it must be a mistake. We wondered if the cleaners had called out sick or something). They send a lovely lady with sheets all the way from seaside, unfortunately it's 4 hours after we've checked in and 2 hours past my children's bed time. We're still hopeful and understanding, they say they'll send a cleaning crew the next morning. Well, the single cleaning lady is here now. She's been told by management to only clean the bathrooms. Not the sticky counters, not the crumbs all over the floor. We're still waiting on the correct sheets for some of the beds so we can actually use them. Overall this has been a horrifying experience. On the plus side, the customer service people have been very communicative, they have promised to waive our cleaning fee, and have told us they will comp a dinner up to a certain cost.

Stayed for a week at a Meredith Lodging Sunriver home (pole house 15) and the maintenance issues that had clearly been overlooked for years were really apparent and affected our stay there. I tried to reach out but most of the concerns really weren't fixable while we were there (including having a broken staircase to the top floor, broken window blinds, heavily scratched teflon pans and rugs that were very dirty), so I'd planned to write a review since those on the website are all so glowing. Came to find out that their website supresses negative reviews.

My family and I arrived at our rental in seal rock 8 miles south of Newport Oregon. Before we could even unpack our belongings we had to call for house keeping. ( which it didnt help much)Counters were dirty, windows seals were covered in dust and crumbs from food, All floors were sticky, hand rails on both set of stairs were VERY STICKY (When touched it stayed on your hands) carpet has nasty stains all over it and it feels dirty if you walk on it. I decided not to wear socks in the house one day after a few hours of not wearing socks my feet were black. (I wish I could leave a picture it was bad) I do have to say I feel bad for the owners that their house is rented out in this condition. According to their story they live in Wisconsin and The U.K. and come here for Christmas with their family. It is a very rustic looking home with unbelievable views. I will never rent through Meredith lodging again. My family and I have been renting home on the Oregon coast since the 80's 2 to 3 times a year. Every year. This is one out of 4 homes in all these years that we will not stay at again. (Unless someone else took over the management) I advise you do your homework when looking for vaction rentals.

The Siren Song House is a true coastal gem. With breathtaking, panoramic views of the ocean, this beach house offers a front-row seat to nature’s beauty—from golden sunrises to peaceful, starlit nights. The home itself is elegant, spotless, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, falling asleep to the sound of waves, or stepping right onto the sand, every moment here feels magical. The Siren Song House is the perfect escape for couples, families, or anyone seeking serenity by the sea. Highly recommended!
