âcabinâ has large living areas with small bedroom and bath. It was clean and had well stocked kitchen. TV was a bit of a struggle with 6 remotes but found the firestick worked after some time. Hot tub is leaking and was not useable so a bummer there. Place is close to beach with trails right across highway. Cabin is surrounded by trailer park so not totally private but it is a quiet.
The property is nice. There are two things that need to be addressed however. The front steps need to be tightened and/or replaced. Also, the bed is very antiquated and needs to be replaced.The property was very nice and the hot tub was great.
Overall we had a great stay. Only complaint is the bed was very uncomfortable, just too hard. Water pressure in shower was very weak. Perfect for the dog and great kitchen for cooking. Comfy living room :). We would stay again for the price and location.
Cute little cabin with a great deck. Unfortunately the cleanliness was slightly off. Mattress was pretty uncomfortable and noisy. I don't usually like to leave poor reviews, but there was some room for improvement on cleaning. There were used coffee grounds in the coffee maker, under the coffee table was some tortilla chips and leaves, several little bugs were in a corner by the vanity, and the hot tub was not clean, so we did not feel comfortable using it. That is why we chose this cabin as it had a hot tub. The restaurant was not open and there were no maps at the shed, had a bit of trouble finding the cabin as there was no cell service there to look up the map. We had to drive back almost to Brookings to get service to download the map.
The cabin was very cute and supplied perfectly. It was a pet friendly rental so we weren't overly surprised to see dog hair on some of the living room pillows and one of the blankets. When we pulled out the futon, there was a female black widow and some very tiny spiders which was a little concerning. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there very much. The check in process was a bit much. It was short term notice so there were extra steps that involved more personal information including taking a selfie picture and paying through some other site. I thought we were going through VRBO, but it was actually through a different company. Their customer service was helpful and kind through all the confusion.
The bed wasnât that loud in our opinion. The whole place did smell really strongly like dog pee which was difficult at times to handle but we will just not choose a dog friendly spot next time. We wouldâve liked a bit more information on check out responsibilities like where to put towels and trash. The hot tub was over-chlorinated but still a great way to spend the evenings and the privacy fence is really great. Overall we loved the place and itâs location!
The property was dirty when we arrived. There was dog hair everywhere. The trash can outside was filled with the previous guests trash and it was full. The sheets were not washed. They had red blotches on the pillow cases. We removed the sheets and replaced them with sheets from the linen closet. The hot tub was filthy. There were white clumps floating around and it did not have a floating filter in the hot tub to keep it sanitized.
During our stay we also think someone went into our house. The front door has a lock box on it and during one of our outings the lock box was turned upside down on the door handle. This made us uncomfortable but we didn't notice anything missing and were trying to make the best out of our stay.
Unfortunately, during our stay we accidentally left an item of high value and tried to communicate SEVERAL times with Vacasa Customer Service and were told lost and found items were not a priority. I left several messages with Vacasa trying to contact the host for this house and was unsuccessful. They ignored my calls and have never followed up with us. An extremely shady company and local hosts. We will never book with Vacasa again or stay at Whaleshead "Resort".
