Casa de Vida - Oceanfront in the sand! Cozy beach home

House is just the right size and well equipped. Very clean inside with beautiful ocean view.

excellent

This was our third stay in Pacific City. Kiwanda Coastal Properties makes the check in and check out easy and simple. Our only issue was the patio door. The lock on it could use some maintenance. We got lucky and had beautiful weather and the sunsets were magnificent!

We enjoyed everything except the lack of a dresser or storage in bedrooms and no end tables or reading lamps in living room. We don’t watch television and read in the evenings. Had to set drinks and such on the floor. Also FYI.. front bedroom window is stuck open. Needs to be fixed before winter.

You come to this place for the view, not the house. This place does need some updating based on the rate. Here we go…The showers are more to the tune of rv showers so be prepared for that. Highly recommend bringing your own bath towels and dish towels as the ones there are close to sandpaper. We went to tillamook and got our own. Small touches, like the hand soap being watered down and overall dinginess, including homeowners personal belongings in spare closet was tacky. My son was so excited about the jetted tub, however black stuff came out when we turned it on so we reran the bath and did not use the jets any longer. Broken kitchen floor tiles, and broken back sliding door. Asked if I should possibly provide a list to enhance guests experiences and the management and they didn’t seem too bothered. I know Vrbo houses differ drastically, this was just quite different from previous properties I have rented within the same price budget. Bottom line? Come for the fantastic amazing killer view and access, but bring your own personal items like listed above.

Great place on the beach. I mean on the beach in the sand. Was great fun watching the weather and walking up and down the beach. Just a short walk to town and groceries and Pub. House needed a little work but hopefully that is done. Wasn't anything major. Plenty of pans and dishware. Would go back again. Staff was willing to help if needed. Oh and a great jacuzzi tub. Worked great.

The home was clean upon arriving. Furnishing through out the house were nice. Kitchen fairly well equipped with needed items for the stay. Fireplace was a nice bonus. Will rent the house again at some point.

House is right on the beach and close to the Pelican Pub. Kitchen was not very well stocked with essential cooking and baking utensils. Front and back door didn’t work properly.

The view was as wonderful as the pics illustrated. If I had any suggestions, it would be for there to be some outdoor furniture to enjoy sitting on the deck and an upgrade to the bed in the front bedroom. But the house was awesome, well stocked and very comfortable.

We really, really enjoyed our stay at this house. From looking at pictures of the exterior of the house, it looks nice and cozy with a great location. Once we opened the front door we were blown away by how much bigger the house was on the inside. The rooms were nice and large and the layout of the rest of the house was just right for our young family. The fireplace was wonderful especially on the cold evenings/mornings we had during our stay. The massive couch and TV/Roku setup was a huge plus as well. If we had any gripes there would only be two. First, the dishwasher did not work and second, a few more dishes/cups/utensils would have been nice. Nothing close to a deal-breaker, but it would have been nice to not wash dishes by hand. I would also like to add that the management company and staff were amazing! During our stay, we had a massive sandstorm before we were to check-out. Our car and the entryway to the front of the house were covered in several inches of sand. We called the management company and found out they had already dispatched their team to help clear the driveway and make some paths for us while we checked out. They also allowed us to check out 1hr later than planned. This was a huge relief to us since we were a bit in shock at the amount of sand we had to contest with while trying to tidy up the house and check out. We will definitely be looking into this house for our next beach getaway. Thanks for allowing us to stay at this great beach house!
