Personally, I enjoy staying at any place that provides me a good deal of privacy. I'm perfectly content.youtube.com All I want to hear is the sound of the seagulls and the ocean waves. You may be the same way or the exact opposite. Either way, you can find something to suit you.youtube.com If you plan to bring your pet along with you, ask the hotel, motel or Bed and Breakfast whether they are pet friendly or not. Many are, but it is always nice to be sure. Here we are. Below are some of my favorite [https://evolvevacationrental.com/421011 Oregon Coast vacation rentals] and others are recommended by my visitors.

We love Manzanita, and we loved staying at The Historic Reed House, one of the houses from The Houses On Manzanita Beach. The Elizabeth Street Inn in Newport, Oregon is AWESOME! First, it's beachfront, which is the only way to go, IMO. If you are looking for a unique place to stay in Lincoln City at very (!) reasonable prices, the Anchor Inn is it. Ocean Terraces in Lincoln City is an incredible find at a fabulous price. Click here to write your own. As I told you at the beginning, many people own homes along the coast that they use as rental properties. All the luxuries of home without all the responsibilities. You can find a good many Oregon coast vacation rentals up and down the entire coastline.
I took my time today so that I could enjoy the drive. I forgot maps and didn't want to depend 100% on my GPS so I stopped at AAA in Redding. My next stop was at Lake Shasta to take pictures. I took an exit off the highway and drove down a narrow mostly paved road until I could get a clear picture. It's a good thing Shelby's car has a tight turning radius because I ended up making a 3 point turn on a wide spot on the road. As I continued north on I5 I saw a sign for Dunsmuir historic district so I took that exit and found a charming little mountain town.
I ate lunch at the burger barn and it was very good with lots of atmosphere. My next stop was the Weed rest area north of Mt. Shasta to take more pictures of the mountain. After that rest area I went to Raleys in Yreka for firewood since I will be camping tomorrow and Wednesday nights. I also bought some tennis shoes in Yreka because I had forgotten that I killed my camping shoes last year in Bodie. My last stop before Oregon was of course at another rest stop on the Klamath River. It is now 5:30 and I am wondering where to eat dinner tonight. I don't feel like driving back to Ashland since Carolina and Don are on vacation also this week and they would be my only incentive to drive anywhere else tonight. Tomorrow I am heading to Crater Lake and camping north of there at Diamond Lake. I will take lots of pictures.
Do you have a good guest survey? I want to know from a guest survey (which is the focus of the article), but what information I'm getting from collecting online guest reviews and how does this information serve my goal of providing a BETTER vacation rental experience? This was an "aha" moment, because surveys and reviews aren't the same, and I've been trying to kill two (or three) birds with one stone since the rise in popularity of online vacation rental reviews. 3. A paper survey mailed with a SASE (satisfied all of my other needs regarding guest feedback). 3. Comprehensive information for our own needs regarding why they booked with us, what maintenance we needed, what they enjoyed most, and even what they wished we could improve or provide. For years, my system seemed perfect.
Happy guests. Happy owners. Continually improving property and service. Over 90% of our paper surveys were returned, our guest books filled up, and our phone calls were more like welcomes than anything else. That said, it still took a leap of faith for guests and make the initial booking. I embraced the world of online reviews. Before TripAdvisor was in the vacation rental marketplace, the big four online vacation rental marketplaces (now owned by HomeAway) supplied a free place for owners to manage calendars and reviews online. We at first entered reviews from our guest books (which of course were all glowing), and later provided the link to leave a review directly to guests.
Then a few years ago, FlipKey (who's majority shareholder is TripAdvisor), began offering an easy and free system to collect guest reviews and publish them online. Included in this was a little whisper that yes, TripAdvisor would start carrying these reviews soon. I was all in. What I didn't count on was that fewer people would respond to my requests for online surveys (I'd like to know why) and that the surveys would not have the same feel as the in rental guest books. Instead, electronic surveys intended for review publishing seem to elicit less personal and more functional responses, including a list of even the tiniest maintenance issues. My first response was to take it all personally and begin to believe that the company was failing in critical areas like cleaning and maintenance. After today's epiphany, though, I know this isn't the case.
We began failing in communication with guests. Current (in house) guests need a forum to tell you that a lightbulb is out or that the drain ran slowly. A guest review becomes a performance survey and small things end up looking bigger than they are. If a minor issue is cared for properly, instead it's either skipped in a review or turned into a "moment of truth" story. In addition, a third party online review provides a certain level of anonymity and lack of personal relationship that tends to pull out gripes rather than praises. How often do YOU leave glowing reviews vs less than glowing reviews.
How many times have you told friends of bad service vs good service?youtube.com We're getting it all wrong. Online guest reviews are great. I'll keep collecting them. They are an invaluable source of information for potential guests to vacation rentals and hotels alike. Never, not once, have I personally experience, nor know anyone personally whose experience has been lower than the expectations set by TripAdvisor reviews. However, online guest reviews are NOT enough for the vacation rental industry. I've stayed in dozens of vacation rentals myself. Some great, some less so. NOT ONE ever called or emailed during my stay, and NOT ONE ever left or mailed a survey for me to complete. Several have asked me to leave reviews (with an easy link) on the vacation rental management site or on a review site like TripAdvisor, HomeAway, or VRBO. I think there is still a lot of room for BETTER achieved via satisfaction surveys and not just reviews.
With today's uncertain economy, you might be thinking twice about taking a vacation. Vacation rentals often offer luxury amenities, many times for a fraction of the cost of comparable hotel in the same area. Vacation Rentals are typically privately owned condominiums, homes or villas and can be found in most any vacation destination, from the mountains of Colorado the beaches of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. These properties are offered for rent either by the owner or through rental agencies and can be as simple as a one room bungalow or as luxurious as a grand touring resort. In fact, many of these vacation properties are developed by nearby resorts as a way to capitalize on the popularity of their resort or destination and are often more luxurious than the original resort is. These properties often include access to resort facilities, or have some resort style amenities of their own. Finding these gems is not as hard as it might seem. A quick web search will show many sites that specialize in offering these types of properties. Their sites feature vacation rentals from all over the world and include pictures of the property, extensive descriptions and amenity lists. In most cases these sites will put you directly in contact with the property owner or their agent and do not charge any fees for their services. Additionally, many rental agents have their own websites as well as customer service staff on location to make sure your rental experience goes smoothly.
