I have never left a review of anywhere so the fact I'm marking this review speaks volume…read more If I could leave a one star review I would. this has to be the WORST rental experience I have ever dealt with. I have never in my life not received a full security deposit and have left every rental with seller reviews as a tenant but leave it Sandpoint Property Management to do the opposite. Every person in the office I talked to is completely inadequate. I can't even begin to tell you how many times we had maintenance scheduled to come that never showed up, left voicemails and emails that are never returned and the worst communication of any "team" I have ever seen. The amount of money that this company has pocketed from their tenets is absurd. This company should truly be shut down. Praying for every person who is currently stuck in a lease with Sandpoint Property Management.

I have lived for 20 years in a rental managed by R & L. Whenever there's any kind of issue with…read morethings like plumbing, appliances, snow removal, or concern over a dying tree, they respond very quickly to address the problem. I've always appreciated the peace of mind this gives me, but I'm writing a review now because they recently went above and beyond with service. I was in Germany when the recent (Jan. 2024) arctic front hit. I e-mailed R & L and asked whether they could enter my house, check on things, and do all the things we do to keep pipes from freezing. They responded immediately with, "Yes, of course." On the day I arrived home, Spokane was hit with record snowfall. Yet by the time got to Sandpoint, all snow had been cleared in driveways and parking areas near the house and I could drive right into my garage. Frozen pipes all over the county but all is well in my home.

They were there when I had a problem, took care of it immediately, and even typically did more than what I had even anticipated. If you are thinking of renting a place, I would not hesitate for a second to rent from these guys. If you are looking to have someone manage your home, they will take care if it like it is their own. Wonderful people, and I truly miss renting from them.

Renter beware! We…read morerented unit 7-303 at Seasons at Sandpoint through Daughtery Management on April 29th for a 4 night stay starting June 10. The listing information for this unit stated "Rent standup paddle boards or kayaks from Daughtery Management and we'll deliver them at no extra charge". When we contacted them to rent paddle boards for our two children, we were told that theirs were not set up yet and they referred us to a company in town to rent from. When I pointed out that their listing specifically says they have these services and explained that the convenience and free delivery was why we chose this specific unit over others given our very tight schedule all week, we were told that while they usually have them when the lake is at full pool (which it was) they were waiting on other factors to put them out for the season. We ended up renting from the place that they recommended at the marina, who were great. But our kids had never paddle boarded before and could not get from the marina to Seasons on their boards b/c of the wind so we had to go meet them, load up the paddle boards in our vehicle, bring them to our resort, and take them back at the end of the day. We had to alter our plans that day and it ultimately turned a final day of rest & relaxation into a huge, time consuming headache. After going back and forth with the owner about the false advertising and her excuses about it like the corps of engineers, water temp, marina info and what not, we didn't even receive an apology for the misleading advertising of their unit. The company should not be posting that they offer certain services that are only available under certain conditions or situations without including those contingencies ie. only available after July 1, or only if lake is at full pool, or only if water temp is above 65, or only if the marina is open, etc. I would never rent from Daugherty Management again given their misleading and deceptive marketing and advertising practices, the fact that they didn't own up to their deceptive practices but instead just made excuses, and the fact that they did nothing to try and make it right (aside from recommending where we could go get them ourselves). Their guidebook both online and in the unit provided very little guidance, as far as recommendations for dining, sightseeing, shopping, onsite resort activities and amenities, etc. On a positive note, the unit was very clean, well kept, well stocked and had beautiful views, just like every other unit at Seasons at Sandpoint. Also of note, while the Daughtery website contains customer reviews, Daughtery did not provide me a means of leaving a review on their website or for the specific listing which I'm sure is intentional and in line with their other deceptive practices. Choose who you rent from wisely.

Be very careful when renting from this company. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and our…read moreexperience was not a good one. The pictures they posted of "Moose Haven" in The Idaho Club in Sandpoint, Idaho show beautiful grounds that are manicured, mowed all the way down to the water. They show a beautiful outside table that is varnished and nice. They say you can play, fish, kayak on the "river" that flows in the back of the property. In actuality, over half the yard is unusable due to the very tall weeds that haven't been taken care of in years. The outside table is dingy and full of splinters, and the "river" is a stagnant area of water on the golf course that you cannot use. When we brought these discrepancies to their attention they were full of alibis & excuses. The "owner said this or that". When we sent over pictures, they agreed they didn't look the same, but there was nothing they could do. Managements ownership was in total denial & refused to offer any refund. We would never recommend this company-- run as fast as you can!! Please look at the pics as to what they advertised and what actually was what it was.

There was no hot water at the property, something Sandpoint Vacation Rentals knew about before we…read morechecked in and did not disclose to us until we spent a day trying to get a hold of someone on the phone to get the water turned on. They avoided us until a day later while any other available rentals filled up, denying us the opportunity to receive a refund and stay at a different property. As it turns out, the water heater was broken and they would not be sending someone out to fix it. When we asked if they had any other suggestions on how to solve this issue we were told, "This is just how it's going to be." Sandpoint Vacation Rentals said they'd come up with something to help us out and would call us back. 4 days later (and after we've checked out) we've yet to receive a call or message back from them. This property is on the top of a mountain and the water (ice melt) is so cold it makes your skin sting every time you feebly attempt to wash a dish, take a shower, or wash your hands. Sandpoint Vacation Rentals were uncommunicative, unavailable, and uninterested in helping us out. I wonder how they'd behave if they had 8 of their family or friends in this situation. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd let their mother freeze for a few bucks. I am also posting this review on their website at https://sandpointers.com/review.html. I'm sure it won't be there if you checked on it right now. They only have eight reviews and they're all five stars. Yeah, right. Incompetent at every turn. Don't give them your money and don't let them manage your property.

BEWARE!!! I am SO…read moredisgusted with the way my lease with Sandpoint Vacation Rentals is going I AM RETAINING AN ATTORNEY. I am a seasoned real estate broker from California who leased a rental home from SVR and Brad Golphnee for a period of one year beginning less than three weeks ago. What a mistake. I took six days off of work and drove 1,200 miles to view a listing that was SORELY MISREPRESENTED online. The photos were several years old and in no possible way could be current. I was out of time and, I had already committed to such a distant location with no reasonable replacements available. I rented the property anyway. What a mistake. The office staff that support Mr. Golphnee (that is, run the company while he is MIA) are professionals who are fantastic! I would gladly work with any of the leasing staff or even hire them however, they are NOT at all representative of the principal management at the firm; Brad Golphnee. Sadly, nothing compensates for a lack of management oversight and, the staff could not make up for the companies "principal" trying to save a few dollars at my expense... even after I cleaned dog urine, dog feces and broken glass of the prior resident, at my own rental, on my move in date... which was enough past my "occupancy date" to have given SVR time to clean it thoroughly... they were STILL trashing out truckloads of garbage three or four days after I was supposed to move in. That's in addition to my cleanup efforts when I arrived, late at night, to filth. I stopped "helping" clean when I got to RANCID BLOOD POOLS on the property, in the cabin (which had soaked raw wood plank floors). I asked the person handling the trash out that they contact the property manager Brad Golphnee immediately. The first response from Brad was to pour engine degreaser on the rancid blood pools and scrape them up. Several days later... the second response was to offer to sand it... oh, and I had already had all of my RESTORATION HARDWARE furniture moved into the house (1,200 miles from California) at a cost of over $10,000.00 and it was all stored in the blood stained area that Brad wanted "sanded"... despite repeatedly saying NOT TO SAND the area and damage my furniture... Brad Golphnee, through his staff, while remaining anonymous, repeatedly offered to sand the area and insisted on entry repeatedly to sand and bleach the area... I repeatedly said I did NOT want bleach nor bloody sawdust near my personal property. Brad, the manager actually wanted to spray bloody sawdust (and a biohazard) all over my personal belongings. Um, no thank you Brad. Just... No thank you. SVR repeatedly offered to bleach and sand the area. I did NOT want the area sanded nor bleached. I asked that they remove the blood stained wood planks, which I was disgusted by, and they repeatedly declined. Sadly, in California, disasters, destruction and a separation caused me to consider moving out of California for some R&R at the most remote, cabin-like home I could find. "Sadly" number two, I did not find the refuge I was seeking but, instead found nothing but stress, problems and a loss of what I calculated at $30,000.00 in time, money and effort... down the tubes. My separation is going better than my tenancy with Brad Golphnees company. Secondly, the owner operator of this firm CLEARLY has trained his staff NOT to provide his contact info. No matter how much you have a problem with BLOOD STAINS. Don't expect to get the owner operator to call you back. He is a "somatic mens coach" whatever that may be so, he is closing 'gender gaps' at some retreat or something (per his website about somaticising) and, he cannot be found... not even by a trained real estate broker... no matter how much you call the office staff and ask for his contact info. No matter how upset you are.Have zero expectations if you rent from Brad. Further, I paid at least THREE months of rent, in advance, upon acceptation of the contract, all the way from my desk in California, and, although I have had possession of the property for less than two weeks (my belongings are there but, I have to work in California) the company is ALREADY forcing entry to show the property to new residents after I requested a cancellation of contract yet, THEY HAVE NOT SENT ANY CANCELLATION and THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A REFUND. THEY HAVE OVER THREE MONTHS OF RENT INTO THE FUTURE AND THEY ARE FORCING SHOWINGS ON THE PROPERTY STATING THEY CAN DO SO IF THEY PLEASE. (Just FYI... this is how people get their nice stuff stolen when they live out of state and are separated from their personal property by 1,200 miles)... so, plan on missing work to prevent theft of your personal property. Plan on babysitting an unethical situation instead of relaxing in the country. Rent here and, you may have to move twice.

Some RE agents just get in the way of deals and collect their fee, but Paul guided and advised expertly from start to finish. He is a well known and well respected insider in the greater Sandpoint area and so he was able to show us the home of our dreams and, more importantly, use his connections to get us into the deal and get it closed. Paul put us in touch with a 1031 facilitator and selling agent in San Diego with whom he had a track record, and kept the Sandpoint seller on board while the transaction unfolded. I was a top commercial real estate broker in San Diego so I know good service when I see it, and Paul Reisen is the best.

I would like to post a review for Mistie Kinney, Associate Broker with Realm in Sandpoint. I've…read morebought and sold numerous properties in my life and I've had many realtors I've worked with. With absolutely no exaggeration, I would say that Mistie is far and away the best realtor I've ever worked with. She listed my home in Sandpoint and stayed in contact with me with every showing. I never had to guess as to what was taking place with those showings because Mistie was always relaying the information so I was aware of everything that was taking place. And my home sold in 9 days with a price that was completely satisfactory. I wish I could give her 10 stars, but 5 seems to be the highest I can post.

Plenty of room in the backyard to sit around the firepit which is provided, or barebeque on the charcoal pit. There are also multiple kayaks and canoe to use as well. We had a great time here, and I think you would to. Coming from California, this is one of the most beautiful places I've visited - and this vacation rental was really the icing on the cake.
