We have a great experience every year, and we wouldn't choose to stay anywhere else! The team is so lovely and kind. I always know I can reach them if we have an issues. Special shout out to the keeper of the hot tub. We chatted with him when he stopped by to clean it. He had some helpful hints and fun jokes. We could tell he was passionate about his work, and I felt like he genuinely was excited that we were planning to enjoy the hot tub! We'll be back again next year! I can't recommend Seaside Vacation Rentals enough!

Since we were not able to come and go on the wet tar, Rachel had dinner delivered to us compliments of them AND refunded us for that night's stay. This quick response and her actions are the definition of customer service and we will be back and spread the word about this wonderful service. For the condo itself, beautiful view, out of town so you're away from the hustle bustle and had everything we needed but robes. Bed was comfortable, jetted tub relaxing and just an overall great 50th birthday time spent there. Thank you so much!! Carrie and Mike

Communication is virtually…read morenon-existent, and their office hours (Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM and Friday, 9:00 AM-3:00 PM) make it nearly impossible for anyone working standard business hours to get in touch with them. To make matters worse, the maintenance workers they hired and sent into my home appeared unsafe, unprofessional, and entirely untrustworthy. Furthermore, the management company themselves is deplorable, including Carla Sowins. Despite a flawless lifetime rental history, a single delayed payment--which was a mishap with the bank and had nothing to do with my ability to pay--was met with an immediate eviction threat and a drastic shift in tone, treating me like a second-class citizen ever since. Avoid renting from them at all costs.

I liked how they offered lots of little branded aneminites such as shower packs, kitchen packs and hot tub cleaner. The only thing that I didn't care for was the very strict check in/check out times. Check in is at 4 and you get access by text only. Check out is promptly 10 AM! That seems extremely early especially for the prices you are paying. I asked for either an early check in or late check out and was denied which is fine but if checkout were a little later it would've been extremely helpful.

Unacceptable property conditions. Even worse customer service…read more We rented a vacation home managed by Meredith Lodging on the Oregon Coast, and the experience was appalling. Upon arrival, we found pet stains, a strong urine odor, feces on the wall, and exposed carpet tack strips--a serious safety hazard, especially with a young child in the home. This wasn't a matter of personal preference. The property was filthy and unsafe. We contacted Meredith Lodging immediately. They didn't respond until the following day. Their after-hours support consisted of an overseas call center that was unable to resolve the situation. They eventually relocated us to another property, but insisted we pay for the replacement before receiving a refund for the unused nights at the original property. They also refused to refund the night we were forced to spend in those conditions, a situation that could have been avoided with competent after-hours customer service. Despite saying they have this, you get deflected to an out-of-country call center who can only tell you that someone will call you back after 9am the next day. And unbelievably, they even tried to charge us a *cleaning fee* for the filthy property they had rented to us. You can't make this stuff up. The next property was cleaner, but also had a bad knob on the stove that leaked gas. Again, safety is a low priority for these folks. Here's the thing: Problems happen. What separates a reputable company from a bad one is how they handle those problems. Meredith Lodging had every opportunity to acknowledge the situation, take responsibility, and make things right. Instead, they demonstrated a stunning lack of accountability and customer care. We weren't asking for anything unreasonable. Just a clean, safe property and fair treatment when they failed to provide one. If you're a TRAVELER, I'd strongly caution you against booking with Meredith Lodging. And if you're a property OWNER considering hiring them to manage your investment, I'd think twice. If this is how they maintain properties, handle guest safety concerns, and treat paying customers, I'd have serious questions about entrusting them with my home. A company's reputation isn't built when everything goes right. It's built by how they respond when things go wrong. Meredith Lodging failed spectacularly.

I've been dealing with this HOA management company for the past five years, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience has been consistently disappointing. From the start, the communication has been poor, and the management--particularly Judy--has been unprofessional and unresponsive. I've received years' worth of nitpicky complaints about minor issues like slightly dry patches of grass, which I've managed to shrug off. But this year has truly been the tipping point. After accidentally making a double payment, I contacted Judy immediately with instructions not to deposit the check if it arrived after I paid online. Despite our email exchange, the check was deposited the very next day. It took weeks of back and forth just to get my own money refunded. Now, there's an unapproved above-ground pool installed in a neighbor's backyard that is damaging my fence. I've sent multiple emails with photos, and after weeks, I've yet to receive any response or acknowledgment. This company is a joke. They operate out of their home, and the lack of transparency and accountability is staggering. I strongly believe this management group should be replaced by a professional company that actually communicates, enforces rules fairly, and provides transparency about where our dues are going. I would happily pay more for proper management that takes the responsibilities of an HOA seriously.
