Keylee was an absolute pleasure to host! She was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with from booking through check-out. She showed great respect for the home and left everything in excellent condition. We truly appreciate guests like Keylee who make hosting seamless and enjoyable. We would be delighted to welcome her back anytime, whether at The Pumpkin House or at any of our coastal San Diego properties. Highly recommended to other hosts, and we would happily host her again!

Thank you for the 5-star review! We value your feedback and can't wait to host you again.

We are thrilled that David enjoyed his stay at The Pumpkin House! We were surprised to hear the comments about the backyard and hot tub. The hot tub is regularly serviced and had been cleaned the day these guests checked in. The water should not have been murky but if something had went wrong, we wish this guest would have reached out to our 24 hr guest services line to let us know. We could have sent the servicemen back to the property to check on the issue. The backyard is also serviced regularly but unfortunately, sometimes weather conditions may not allow the garden to show its true splendor. In all, it sounds like David enjoyed his time in the home. We hope to host him again!

Unfortunately this guest is not telling the whole truth about any of this, except the fence. The fence did come down in the storm during their stay, when 5 trees in the backyard fell on it. It will be replaced soon. We will not play this game over a public review, but we will say that we don't recommend this tenant for MANY reasons to any other host. You will likely regret it like we do. Please read all of our other reviews for a very accurate expectation of what to expect if you choose to book our home. Thanks :)

We are very sorry to learn that Seth had a less than perfect stay at our home :( The pumpkin House is a family friendly cottage that maintains a ton of charm but does have a few small quirks. If these issues were easily fixable we would have definitely made all the changes necessary to rid the home of these eccentricities. Unfortunately, its just not that simple. We have signs and a detailed welcome letter to inform all guests of the few small quirks of the home to make your stay 5 stars. We also provide our guests with a 24/7 guest services line that can assist any guest with any issue that may arise during the trip. Again, we are so sorry that Seth was not happy with his stay. We have tried to reach out to this guest multiple times after hearing about his experience but were unable to get a reply. It was a huge bummer to learn of this guests disappointment but we are eager to make our next guests stay a wonderful experience.

So sorry you felt there were too many rules :( We basically just ask that you: Clean your dishes upon checkout Do not throw any parties or gatherings (abide by city occupancy rules) Abide by the city noise ordinances Do not smoke cigarettes inside/onsite Park in the garage and/or the right side of the driveway, not on the street And If you have a dog, please no pooping or peeing inside, and other common sense animal things..... I really don't feel these are excessive and I'm very sorry that your family did :( We don't intend to make our guests feel uncomfy but we do know all of our neighbors personally, and do not want to cause them any problems. We have found over the years that it is best to spell out the common sense stuff. Some people come from other countries where they do smoke inside. Where their dogs do use indoor puppy pads for urinating/pooping. It is just always best to lay the rules out so everyone is on the same page :) You guys were great guests and we do hope to have you again, sorry you felt restricted :( That was NOT our intention :(

Celia, we are so sorry that your stay was not 5 star :( We always strive to give our guests a 5 star experience, so this 4 star review is disappointing to read. Yes, we do require some quick paperwork including a signed hot tub waiver for all of the homes we manage. The living room lights complaint shouldn't be a problem any longer, our handyman addressed that. Unfortunately, the City of Portland requires all vacation rentals to have a full-time tenant living on the property. Thankfully our "sweet as pie" tenant is super quiet & resides in a separate space on the parcel. You may occasionally hear or see him coming & going, but we do not get regular complaints about this. All guests are also notified of this City rule before they arrive. Please read all other reviews so you have good information on that from our previous guests. Regarding the window cleaning, Celia or someone in her party approved this appointment? We have time-stamped notes in our system confirming the tenant was ok with this apt. If they had not been, we would have moved it to another day. Our team always gets a guest's confirmation for any appointments on-site, before allowing anyone onto the property. Celia, please give us another shot in the future? We will try harder next time to ensure you a 5 star stay!

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the home, the landscaping, and the convenient location for visiting your family in Portland. It’s great to hear you were able to enjoy the hot tub as well. We also appreciate your feedback about the grill and will make sure it gets properly cleaned and maintained. Thank you again for staying with us, we’d be happy to host you in the future at any of our 70 coastal properties.

Thanks for the 5 Star review Wendy! We hope to host you again!

We are very sorry to learn that Rikki had a less than perfect stay at our home :( Sadly, The City of Portland mandates that EVERY vacation rental within the city limits, must have an onsite manager in order to obtain a legal permit to operate a Portland Vacation Rental. This is universal for all homes in Portland, not specific to our home, The Pumpkin House. This is listed very clearly in the description of our home, we also verbally cover it with every guest over the phone, so we are confused as to how Rikki was unaware. The onsite tenant has a separate unit on the property. There is a separate entrance and this tenant has NO access to any part of the vacation rental. There are no shared items, the tenant has NO access to the kitchen, laundry, garage, hot tub, etc. Everything is private. If Rikki would have called us with this concern (we have a 24/7 guest services number that is available to our guests 24 hours a day) we would have been happy to put them at ease and clarify this further. This home and neighborhood are extremely safe, and the same tenant has been living here now for almost 2 years with zero issues. We are so sorry to hear of Rikki's disappointment. We did call and email multiple times after her stay when we learned of her disappointment to try to rectify it, and received no reply :( Again, we are super sad to learn that she was disappointed :(
