Siuslaw Sanctuary

Location and cleanliness

Not enough bath towels, we had 4 people and only 3 towels. No tissues, no coffee filters. The toaster smokes and smelled bad. The parking space was very tight for a full size SUV. The bathroom / bedroom situation (2 BR’s upstairs but only 1 Bathroom) was very inconvenient and not clear in the booking details. Two flights of steep stairs should be spelled out in the booking details.

Stairs

PROS: Love love the location!!!! It was awesome for I loved the fact that we were so close to Florence Old Town within walking distance. The house was clean and well furnished.

CONS: Your pictures does not represent the house by not accurately displaying the 2 level of stairs. Those stairs were too much for me unloading and loading our groceries, suit cases, and for my 12 year old dog, etc. If someone who is booking this house, they should see two pictures of those stairs in the entry way and up to the bedrooms to know if they could physically go up and down those stairs multiple times a day. Shame on you for not representing the layout of this home for those booking reservations!!!!! Next, buy an electronic can opener. The two manual can openers in the drawer are broken. Parking. The description of the carport should state the width and height for those of us who are crabbing on the dock and are not able to fit a large quad cab 4x4 dually truck in that small carport. The night before we arrived, I asked the host if there are open spaces in the vicinity or street parking, they said no! Two days later, I get a message that we can park in the open spaces, good to know after the fact cause that's what we did on day one!!! Please insert into the description width/height of the very small parking space in the carport and that there are open spaces or street parking available. Lastly, the door lock was broken which is why I couldn't use the lock code. We luckily received the key using the key box, but it was awfully hard to unlock the door when the locking mechanism turns 360 degrees. I informed the host the next day so the owner can get a locksmith to fix the door lock. I had to have my husband be the key keeper for opening and locking the door. Will I come back to reserve this location again? Absolutely not.

Spacious, comfortable

The steep stairs

good location in Florence. easy to walk to town and drive to the beach

no air conditioning made it hot at times. walls are thin so neighbor kept us awake late one night.

Being in Old Town near the river. Spacious for 1-4 people but I was traveling alone with a dog. I liked that my dog was welcome without additional charges. The living room furniture was comfortable. I appreciated Netflix being available, that was a nice surprise. The WiFi was strong.

The stairs have trim on the steps that hurt your feet. The plank flooring was tough on the stairs for my dog without any tread/rug and were VERY steep. Of the five nights I could not sleep past 6 a.m. because of property maintenance, garbage trucks, street/parking lot sweepers and one night with a community member fighting with another screaming and driving recklessly away. There weren’t any laundry pods or dryer sheets to do a couple loads of laundry. Not enough towels were left for me to have enough for new ones daily. There wasn’t any spray cleaner to keep the kitchen tidy. There wasn’t enough silverware and a little bit better quality ones would have been appreciated cheap ones cut into your hands and mouth. The parking spot is very small so it is tight to park a larger vehicle without being concerned for the posts.
