Compare Cheap Port Orford Independent

"Inconsistent communication response. Question asked (3) times on what the additional fee was for exactly (how much for pets since it wasn't advertised. Addt'l for children?) - never answered. Terrible mold/mildew smell. Back door is tricky to lock. Bath door gets stuck. Bath vanity tilted out of the wall. Kitchen window has no shade. Every surface is hard to sit or sleep on. The dining chairs were the softest seat in the place. Ants everywhere. Big carpenter ants crawling on the walls and ceiling. Tons of dust bunnies under beds & dead ants all over in double room. Dishwasher was moldy, old food in drain screen, random piece just hangin' out on bottom rack. Old food swept out from beside stove. Eggs left in the fridge. Fridge not cleaned. Microwave had food pieces left in it. Disposal didn't work. Cooking utensil still had food stuck to it. Dead bugs in the bathtub. Stained tub. Shower head was little more than a misting spigot coming out of the wall. Primary bed night stands super unstable. CO2 detector is a terrible place for pets and kids. Every bowl put into the microwave too hot to handle once done. Found the 'dog' basket on the top of the laundry room cabinets. Had a blanket, bowl and poop bags. The 'compliments' of the host basket in the kitchen had 2 bags of popcorn, 2 bags of oatmeal, and a lid for a to-go coffee cup. Mud room hooks not anchored well, 1 fell out. Stove dirty & drip pans charred. W&D super convenient. Really good Wifi."

"The view from the top floor sitting area was excellent. The home was clean. Caretaker was prompt and answered questions and concerns immediately. "

"Great location and the house has everything you need. Will definitely stay again next time we’re in town! "

"Before I mention things that would be helpful for future vacationers, I want to say this is a beautiful property in a beautiful spot! Excellent jumping off point for adventures. Definitely recommend, but only if you don't intend to do much cooking.Things I wish I'd known:The oven/range and kitchen lights do not work properly. I thought this might be a new issue, but looking back at other reviews, I see that another family had the same exact issue... in 2022. The kitchen also lacks some essential tools.There's an additional vacation rental across the parking area, above the garage. Not a problem for us, but it should have been disclosed in the listing, as we were surprised by others arriving at night, where we didn't expect them.The windows downstairs are wonderful during the day... and lack any kind of covering for night time. It's a secluded area, but if you would not be comfortable surrounded by black windows at night, this might not be the right rental for you.The listing mentions "light blocking" curtains in the master bedroom (east-facing). They are light-filtering. So sleeping in might not be an option for you.There was only enough hot water for two short showers in a row (about 12 minutes). We were 2 adults and 3 teens.Scant written instructions, no local emergency contact number provided, and no proactive communication from the host. She was friendly and responsive when I reached out, though there was a delay which may reflect a time zone difference."

"Great stay and the host worked with us the dates and was very accommodating. "

"All life stress melted away. Nestled on a large property with meadows and forest, it felt breathtaking and majestic. Which is exactly what we needed for our birthday weekend get a way. The house is full of windows and brings the outside beauty in. Kitchen is well stocked. Sauna was hot. We would love to stay again!"
