Great place for our 2 families
We stayed here with our kids and friends with their kid plus 2 dogs. The place was a great size and location to the beach although we mostly drove vs. walking. It could definitely use some updates and there were some dings and dents throughout the house but with the price range, it made sense. The kitchen was pretty well stocked but the oven should be replaced soon. There were also a few things here and there like the can opener didn't work and the frying pans were flaking teflon. Overall it worked for us and met our needs and you do get what you pay for.

Great for 6
We had a wonderfult stay! We came down for a family birthday and the house was big enough to not feel cramped. The seating was great as many homes offer plenty of beds, but only one couch or a few chairs. Great location to walk for tacos, coffee, or to the beach to see the King Tides!

Labor Day getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The family room furniture seated us all and was very comfortable! The house was well equipped, though we had trouble finding scissors! Also there were no keys to bathrooms and we had a child lock themselves in so that took some figuring out! I would say get one bathroom key and put it on the door frame above the bathroom!
Loved Our stay and hope to be back!

Well stocked and spacious.
The home was quite nice and had everything we needed to make family meals each day. The home was spacious enough for each of us to spend our time comfortably. In fact, there were 7 in our group and we had room for more. The surrounding area was quiet and the beach was just a short walk away. The hot tub was a big hit and the grill worked well! The fire pit was perfect in the evening for our family to huddle around and roast marshmallows. There were plenty of outdoor seating available for use at the beach and in the patio area.
Although there were some updates needed in the bathrooms specifically, it wasn’t a big deal for us. Each room had a tv but we had so many other things keeping us busy, we didn’t use them much.
Inside the house was clean except for the occasional cobweb.
Overall, our family had a great stay for a long weekend.

Lovely stay at the beach
We enjoyed our stay in Pacific City. Plenty of room for 3 adults and 4 kids, plus local family members came to hang out. The beach equipment and the bikes were great to have available. There's a great short hike just behind the house and and easy walk to the beach. The hot tub was a nice way to relax in the evenings.

Excellent location, short walk to everything!
We are a busy family of 5 that jumped at the chance to get away on a rare free weekend. The location was excellent - close to all Pacific City has to offer! No sidewalk to walk on to get into town, but the shoulder is wide and we felt perfectly safe. The hot tub and fire pit were awesome bonuses to an overall great house! Can’t wait to come back!

Great place.
We enjoyed our stay. The location is good except for the short walk along the busy road to get across to the beach. The walk was short and easy but I wish there were sidewalks. Cars go fast through town. Also, we could not get the three upstairs TVs to work which was a bummer. Home was well equipped with beach chairs and towels. We enjoyed the hot tub.

Spring break 2024
The house was a great location for us. Walking distance to the beach and also close to the local grocery store and a skate park. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our pets. The kitchen was sufficient for our needs. There were plenty of bath towels, kitchen towels, beach towels and dog towels for us all! In addition, it was a nice surprise that each bedroom had its own tv and the beds were fairly comfortable. Also, the living room tv had an awesome surround sound system which made it seem like we were watching movies in a theater. We liked having the garage as a bonus space. Enjoyed the bikes and there was a dune sled that our kids tried out. The house is a bit dated and has some wear and tear, but understand it’s a rental house and we weren’t particular about the condition. The hot tub could use a good cleaning, but it was still nice and hot enough. We would definitely consider staying again.

The house is in a great location, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and coffee. The bedrooms are all located upstairs which makes for a great separation of living and sleeping spaces. The hot tub and fire pit were family favorites!

Very convenient and quiet location; no sandbox
It's a nice location and the house is comfortable, but it's readily apparent that no one's ever *lived* there. You know how some house rentals are charming and full of the owner's personality? Books, art, well-loved toys, curated knick knacks... this is the opposite of that.
The development has big HoA energy, including an idiotic sign prohibiting walking the 50 ft to the neighboring skatepark* (and future playground). They're big expensive houses that I'm sure are also nice inside, but it all feels real nimby and cookie cutter. So instead of feeling like you're house-sitting in a neighborhood and helping out some homeowner, it's abundantly clear there are corporations at every step.
The house itself was clean, quiet and comfortable. But one bunk bed ladder's loose screws let it pull in/out a full inch; one bicycle's handlebars were totally loose in the stem; a kitchen stool's bolts had loosened so much it was downright dangerous to sit on; the door handle to the garage was wobbling around in the door; the garage door sensor was knocked off so the door wouldn't close; etc etc.
None of these are a big deal, they're all 2-minute fixes if you have the tools: I share them because they describe the vibe of a house that feels like it was built by a corporate algorithm and then walked away from.
It's great walking distance to town and the beach, and we had good time. But staying there felt like being part of the problem with US real estate.
And the sandbox isn't there, either.
