Vacation Rentals by Owner

not too impressed

My husband and I were not aware that this cottage was actually a trailer...without an ocean view or any view at all. I will give credit where it is due- the owner is a very nice guy and inside of the trailer is nicely decorated. We did enjoy our stay but for the cost I would personally rather spend 10 dollars more and stay at Whaleshead resort next time. I didnt see anywhere on this site informing people that it is actually a trailer- I think that should be made clear.

Owner response:Thanks for the positive comments......the listing for Villas 1 & 2 describe the units as 385 sq ft park model manuf homes Both units have bay windows and decks that overlook the Chetco River and the North bank. I purchased the land these two units are on based on the views.

Thank you Doug for letting us enjoy your Brookings rental Villas 1,2,&3. It was a home away from home and the weekend was delightful. I look forward to another vacation in your rental in the near future

Eating crow

Date of Stay: 04/24/10 Review Submitted: 04/30/10

I wrote a negative review bashing the property manager for not getting back to me after I had called him several times and emailed him several times. He did get back to me.... after he came out of the mountains where he had no computer and no cell phone coverage. He also refunded money for the days that I was not able to be in his rental. And..... he was "nice" about it. However, I have written two reviews on VRBO "eating crow" and they have not been posted. I apologize for mouthing off in the negative review. My daughter and I really enjoyed the cottage; which is darling and has all sorts of personal touches in it.

aside from the bathroom smelling slightly of urine and the toilet wouldn't flush the stuff down.... the place was charming....., but..... i had told the manager that i wasn't sure of the lenth of my stay but would book it for five days. A family emergency came up and I chose to leave early to assist him and his family. I drove 18 hours to help my son. Before I left Brookings, I called and I emailed to say that I needed to leave early. Tonight when I checked my on line bank.... I was charged for two days that I was not able to stay.

Hi Doug. Thank you for such a thoughtful place to stay. You have thought of everything. We loved this location-easy to get to everywhere. Baby deer were across the river, such a beautiful reminder of how beautiful this world is!! We hope to stay in your "Villa" again.
