Great Property

Everything was perfect! The beds were very comfortable. The pool was kept open for us and it was nice to sit around the pool one last time this year. Tito was very responsive and great to deal with. Highly recommend this property!

Great house for the family

Family and I came into Portland for a vacation. This house is so close to the airport and a short drive to downtown. Great setup, open concept, nice backyard pool! Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

Decent place, just needs some TLC

House, pool, bbq, and backyard could have been cleaned better before we arrived and many things were broken or didn’t work through the house. Various outlets didn’t work and the hot water doesn’t stay one temperature when showering. Walked in to clothing tags stuck to windows, dirty floors downstairs, wet musty laundry in the washer, over-full grease trap in bbq, over-full, slimy, and broken pool bucket, broken items throughout the entire house. Fridge does not work the best, had food spoil right after purchasing because fridge does not get cold enough. Tito did offer to bring us a small fridge to make sure we had one after mentioning it to him, but we wanted our privacy and we felt things should have been checked before guests came. Upstairs bathroom doorknob came off while child was trying to exit the bathroom, my husband fixed it. With a little extra TLC, this house would be the perfect rental. It has a modern, yet old fashioned charm to it and it is right in the center of everything we wanted to do. The pool has a light for night swimming, which we never found until our last night. We had someone renting in August come knocking wanting to see the rental for a wedding, which we thought was slightly inappropriate, but not the owner's fault. Communication between rental manager and tenants could have been a bit better before arriving, but when we arrived, Tito answered my call and made sure we had access to the house immediately. Overall my family and I had a decent time.

Roomy for a family

This property has an open floor plan downstairs which made it very comfortable for our family of six adults and one infant. Nice backyard with a swimming pool.

Nice home close to airportt

This is an older home with some modern updates, especially to the kitchen and dining area. Upstairs bathroom has a great shower. There's an in-ground pool in the back yard, a great deck for relaxing, and a nice barbecue grill. The home is less than a 5-minute drive to the airport, but was not noisy. We were the first guests to stay this season, so there were a couple of minor issues, quickly resolved. Tito is a wonderful host, and easy to contact. Would definitely stay here again.
