The Retreat - Waldport Oregon Rental Review…read more
There are positives about this home. The view. The small but abundant rear deck offers a great place to relax and unwind. With gorgeous views. It's fairly spacious on the main level, however, I wouldn't recommend this home, the pictures of how it was vs how it is, are BEYOND deceiving.
This goes beyond a bait and switch.
How this home is being rented, I would highly recommend spending your money elsewhere. Spending thousands on a rental like this shouldn't come with this many surprises nor lack of empathy or willingness to do something to make it right.
We've used Sweet Home rentals a handful of times before this. But won't be using them again.
Dirt caked on the baseboards, delaminations, mold on the fold out bed, puppy stains on all the carpet, with quite the smell pushing throughout the house.
There are numerous cracks, and holes, delaminating boards, as well as the kitchen ceiling drywall is peeling and falling apart. (And not a little bit) The small bedroom is barely big enough to fit a bed in let alone even change clothes in there, as is the unpictured bathroom. I've used airplane bathrooms that have more room than the upstairs bathroom. Every chair in the living room has rips and tears. There is unfinished projects throughout the home, tripping hazards, dirt everywhere.
I'm doubtful this place even got cleaned between our stay and the last guests.
This home is hosted by Sweet Home Rentals local to the area. When we took our complaints of mold and the state of the home, we were ignored, the company has zero care about the mold on the bed and in the shower, tears, the general uncleanliness of the house. Seemed they just wanted us to stay out of their hair. Telling us "We are sorry the accommodations weren't up to our standards"
While the location is nice for sunsets, be prepared for some unscrupulous characters to be hanging out, walking by, even knocking on your door (Happened twice to us). Not to mention, the homeless individuals we came home to digging around the property.
Good luck to the next patrons, we did mop the main areas, got rid of the dirt ring around the carpet in the main room, however, this house needs a lot of refreshing before I'd personally rent it out to other guests. Including the pet urine and general must smell in the upstairs.
Needless to say we still love Waldport, and will return, however given the lack of support and the state of this house, Sweet Home completely eroded any ounce of confidence we have in a rental company. I don't trust Sweet Homes' values the experience their guests have. I would not recommend booking this home, and to the next patron, be cautious of Sweet Home rentals as a company.
I've included a few photos. Not comprehensive. But enough to get the idea.
