There are lots of great things about this property. I will start with the negatives, and there are not many.
1. This one is for Vacasa guests (not homeowners). Guests, when a property is kind enough to allow dogs there are a few things you must do, one being clean up after your dog in the yard! Each day we scoop poop and the first day took quite a while as there was poop from previous guests- not cool!
2. Because this is pet friendly, the carpets are a bit dirty, there are a lot of scratches on the doors, and there is some wear and tear on the furniture (small holes and scratches). Again, I tend to expect this in pet friendly places. The appliances (fridge and stove) were quite dirty and we cleaned those.
3. There are a few areas where repairs are needed: in the hot tub not all jets work and it does not get very hot, the front screen door sticks quite a bit, some of the bathrooms needed lightbulbs, and a new microwave is needed. I'd also like to see more throw/lap blankets.
Now for the good!
1. Lovely location! I also really appreciate the vacasa houses that allow us to travel with our beloved pets. This place has a HUGE fenced yard that is stunning. We sat outside, the dogs loved outside, and the yard was really the highlight of this place.
2. It was in Cape Meares which is home to us. We stay there every 6-10 weeks in different vacasas depending on who is with us and we love this rural, secluded beach, the quiet neighborhood, and everything about the location is perfect.
3. The upstairs bedroom is stunning. The ocean view is to die for. It did get warm so we opened all windows and put fans in windows to get airflow and the temp was perfect. (Note- we bought our own fan because the second one in the closet was too dirty to use). The bed was very comfortable. Hangers would be nice in the closet though!
4. The size was perfect for us- three adults and two dogs. It would also be perfect for a couple and 2-3 kids. There is no bathtub, but that doesn't matter to us. The washer and dryer was nice and we used the baby gate there to keep dogs in same room as us (we do not like to let them wander in other people's homes).
5. One night we had guests over for charcuterie and we found everything we needed for slicing and laying out meats, cheese, fruits, etc. We brought our own tinfoil, baggies, coffee- so did not mind that the kitchen was minimally stocked.
6. Wifi, tv streaming, etc. all worked extremely well. This is important as there is no phone service in Cape Meares.
Overall, it was a lovely place. In terms of cleanliness it was average- fine. I wish others had done a better job picking up after their dogs in yard (and scratches on doors/furniture) but that is to be expected. Still, I am so appreciative of owners who allow pets that we try to be the best pet owners and guests and want others to do the same so people keep allowing this! We will likely stay again- the yard is the crown jewel in this one- and is a space we enjoyed.
