We have gone to Lincoln City every year for the past 5 years & always stay at Roads End. This year we had to change housing midway through our trip because we couldn't fine one house to accommodate all 5 nights. I had been curious about Olivia Beach so we decided to give it a try for 2 nights- it is a completely different experience & we absolutely loved the little village feel of it - so much to explore! The houses are all fairly new & its nestled into a little community - perfect spot to wind down our vacation. there is a community pool which was closed due to covid-1, but we can't wait to come back.
On the check-in side, we did not receive our access code, so we spent that entire day calling Meredith Lodging at every number possible. I sent messages through VRBO that were never responded to, and even went through VRBO help line, but they couldn't reach anyone either. Check In was at 5pm. We finally were able to get through to someone at 7pm who gave us the access code. It was very stressful as we had another family travelling with us & we did not know if we were going to be able to access it or have to cut our vacation short & drive the 5 hours home. Luckily, by trying the line to make a NEW reservation, my husband was able to reach someone who gave us the access code. Despite that, and the shmarmy tone from the customer service chat person who responded to my 7pm texts at 11pm regarding my frustration and that an exterior door handle fell off immediately upon opening it, we did have a nice stay.
