Lovely VBRO close to Astoria and Cannon Beach allowing access to outstanding coastal trails, historical sites such as the Astoria Column and Fort Stevens and local museums on both sides of the Columbia river! Comfortable beds and ample supplies for those choosing to grab fresh farmer’s market food and whip up a meal. Communication with the owner was outstanding and provided us with easy check in and out process. While we found humor in the neighbors sign “Homes not hotels”, we experienced no issues at all and felt at ease during our stay. Lots of friendly neighbors in this gated community. Proximity to the beach was selling point of this VBRO and delightful to watch deer, rabbits, birds and other wildlife in the evenings on the property.

The house was perfect!

Property is shabby chic/dated. Neighbor and community is highly unwelcoming to guests. Signs up all over neighborhood communicating renters are not welcome. Lots of do not trespass signs everywhere. I have never felt more unwelcome at a property we have rented and we have traveled the country renting over 40 properties. Property in desperate need of a deep clean.Hot tub did not work during our 2 night stay. Reached out to manager right away, and although they indicated they would get it working, they did not. Management company sent some suggestions for me to troubleshoot the problem. Highly dissatisfied as this amenity is why we booked the property as our visit was mid October.Important to note there are hot tub hours as well. 9 AM- 10 PM.Wash machine leaves clothes sopping wet and dryer takes hours to get clothes dry. They need to be replaced.No iron on site either. Overall- I would look else where to stay. Beach is gorgeous.Bottom line- We felt like we were getting punked during our stay. Would recommend looking to stay somewhere else. So many good options in the area, and this one just doesn’t cut it for the price point.
