Port Angeles Abode w/ Yard & Guest House!

Reviews

• Great for family!

  4/5

  Everyone had enough space. The heating system is hard to manage in the rooms due to the heating system not having temperature gauges … they are either on or off. But we managed and had a great time! Close to where we wanted to go and see the sights in the Port Angeles area!

• Not at all what advertised

  2/5

  I had booked this months in advance thinking it would be a good rental property. When we first got to the rental there was some trash left from the prior renter or whomever. There was paper coffee cups and water bottles and soda cans. Once we actually started going into our rooms and turning the heat on and using the amenities, issues started arising. The shower in the main house was badly clogged, we had turned it on to warm up and use but that did not work. My master bedroom also had a stale smell and stained sheets. The TV in the living room did not work the couple times we tried to use it, and it said there are more than 4 users and we were only trying to use 1. The power went out the first night for about 6-8hrs and ruined food we had and all we were told is that it’s normal. The water heater in the spare apartment also worked for maybe a minute or two. Basically all the dishes were dirty and sticky. We were pulling out baking sheets stuck to each other and cast iron pans with old food scraps and fat. Also for hundreds of dollars or so cleaning fee it was dirty and they required to many check out items for such an outrageous fee. The only good thing was the location and backyard. Host did answer quickly but was no help.

  Owners response: "I am so sorry you had a bad stay at our property. We work hard to make sure everyone's stay is excellent. I am very disappointed we fell short! We have talked to the cleaning crew about all these issues you mentioned and let them know how important it is that everything is cleaned. I did talk with Lance the host of our property and he said he went out to check on the clogged shower, but I guess it wasn't the shower but the tub in the hall bathroom that was clogged, which he didn't check. He just misunderstood, sorry. Lance also said the power was out because of the high winds the area was having. I believe that is what he meant when he said it was normal, I guess when there are storms sometimes the electricity goes out. This is the first time I am aware of this happening. I don't live in the area, so this is new to me also. Maybe that is why the TV wasn't working? Not sure about that since we have never had that happen before. Lance said the water heater in the guest house probably wasn't hot because the electricity had been out, and it needed more time to warm up. I hope you will give us another chance in the future, and we will see about getting you a discounted rate."

• Good location, great space, very comfy

  5/5

  Lance was very responsive/helpful with the few questions we had during our stay. House was clean and great layout for a large group of friendly colleagues. Two large communal spaces indoors, really nice patio/back yard. Great place to stay and location very close to downtown PA. Quite neighborhood. Would stay here again!

• Overall Nice Stay

  4/5

  The layout of this home and guest house accommodated our large group and allowed couples and children their own spaces. The living room and the backyard were surprisingly spacious, and we enjoyed the gas grill and fire pit!

  However, no one wanted to stay in the guest house as it is in need of some TLC, as is the clearly-once-beautiful-but-now-languishing back yard. Additionally, the home is in dire need of ceiling fans in each bedroom to accommodate the poor air flow in the house in the summer.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Thank you for your review, and your helpful comments on what you felt we needed to do to make our home better. We have since put up ceiling fans in the bedrooms, bought a new bed for the guest house, and are working on getting the yard back to its beautiful state. I believe it just got too hot and not enough rain for the yard. I hope you will give our home another chance in the future, we would love for you and your family to come back."
