We really enjoyed staying here with the exception of the the hot tub being out of commission and the crappy bed. The lack of hot tub was extremely disappointing and all they could say was that the chemicals were not balanced, that they had no idea when it was going to be fixed. I make sure that I have access to a hot tub when I travel due to injuries that make sleeping in foreign beds difficult and painful. And the bed was terrible! the mattress was hard, bumpy, no topper on it. My back was killing me!! and no hot tub to remedy that. So we were bummed. Other than that, the spot is awesome, on the water, access tot he beach, close to lots of good stuff.

My sister and I stayed in the "Yo Crabba Crabba" room Friday through Sunday. It was one of the worse stays we've experienced. There was a utility trailer parked too close in front of our room door with a ladder sticking out on the ground causing a trip hazard, the room smelled, Skittles under the couch, the cabinets were sticky, and food on some of the utensils in the drawer. The room does have a great view and beach access but we will be looking for other accommodations in the future.

Hi Deanna! Thank you for your candid feedback on your stay in Unit 105, Yo Crabba Crabba, and we hope you were able to enjoy your cozy condo and that incredible ocean view from your patio while you were here. We apologize that the trailer location was inconvenient for you, and understand that must have been frustrating. Thankfully, this was a temporary issue due to the siding construction project and will not be something that affects your future stays with us. We look forward to your next visit, and hope to see you again soon!

*Review based on construction during time of stay. Offered a full refund but there was insufficient time to find another affordable location to stay and it was during spring break weeks. Parking was limited at the time but due to the construction. Noise from upstairs condo and/or stairs after 1am during first night was not ideal but expected from a ground level condo. Shower head had hard water build up that was usable but could have been better. I could not figure out thermostat or which heat vent would blow hot air but did not spend too much time tinkering as I came prepared with extra personal blankets. Overall affordable stay. Thank you.

Nathan, thank you for the honest review of your time in one of our Family Studios. Unfortunately, the siding project was started with some urgency by our HOA, and the crew was progressing rapidly until they ran into an unexpected problem that required more permitting to repair. Originally, the timeline would have moved the work to the other building on the property at the time of your stay, and we reached out as soon as we received the news that they would be falling behind schedule. We truly regret that these circumstances occurred during your stay. But thank you for informing us about the heater and the shower head. We would have been more than happy to have maintenance inspect either of those to ensure you were comfortable; our cadet wall heaters in particular come with a safety feature that can turn the heater off if it overheats (if it's left running too hot for too long, the fan seizes, or someone blocks the vent). It's a simple fix to reset the heater, and we never want a guest to feel like they have to bring their own blankets to be warm. But we're glad you felt the stay was affordable, especially for the front row ocean views these ground floor studios are known for. We hope you had everything else you needed in the condo to enjoy your time in Lincoln City, and we hope to see you again under better circumstances.

Room and property definitely need a deep clean and maintenance. Couldn’t go on the balcony due to excessive bird droppings and pigeons always around so deterrents needed as we didn’t see them anywhere else we went. Couches and carpets needed cleaning or replacing also. Bathroom needs new caulking. Not worth the money we spent.

Tanya,Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay in Unit 315, Original Swim. We're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you encountered during your visit, and we apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this caused you.While we have deterrents in place to prevent birds from nesting, we are unable to prevent wildlife from flying nearby. We do clean regularly as an ongoing part of our maintenance, but we apologize that this was not as effective in your situation.We also appreciate your feedback on the couches and carpets. We have regular professional carpet and upholstery cleanings scheduled, but rely on guest feedback for updates that there is a more urgent need. We will be sure to move this unit up the list to be cleaned sooner than originally scheduled. Maintenance will also be sure to address the need for caulking as soon as they are able, as it requires a 24 hour period for the material to set properly.Your observations about the condition of the room and the property as a whole have been heard, and we want to assure you that we take them seriously. Maintaining a clean, well-maintained environment is paramount to us, and we regret that we fell short of meeting your expectations.Thank you for your understanding and patience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a more positive experience next time!

Not much of a fan of how close the place is to highway 101, and no elevator was not ideal. We knew there wasnt one, but it would have been so much better. Overall really Id have to say we enjoyed our time here, but if we stayed again we would require a 1st floor room...

Love the location and staff. HOWEVER! I was nearly crushed by the Murphy bed when it came crashing down after the spring made a very loud clink . If my child would have been the one to open it it would have possibly killed her or broke her neck. It knocked the hell out of me . I do t know what my injury are or if I just tweeted my neck . I let the front desk know in hopes that no one else be hurt . I reach out if any injuries are serious and pain does not subside

Response from D Sands Rentals Management Team on Feb 28, 2024
Hi Pete,Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review despite that experience. We are handling the incident responsibly, and the condo is no longer listed until we can determine the cause of the incident and repair the Murphy bed in a safe manner. If it is not repairable, we will contact the owner of that specific condo to discuss her options for replacing or removing that piece of furniture. Unfortunately, like anything else in these individually owned condos, Murphy beds can experience unexpected malfunctions. We do everything in our power to test and inspect everything during each clean, and prior to your arrival the Murphy bed had been functioning safely and as intended with no reports of any issues in the past. We regret that despite those precautions you still experienced an incident, and we understand your concerns for your child. However, it's not advisable to allow children or frailer individuals to lift or lower the Murphy beds (at our location or any other) without close supervision, as even during normal use they can sometimes be heavier than expected. We're still diligently working with maintenance to narrow down the cause of the situation so that we can proactively move forward, and we can only recommend that you seek medical care if you believe it is necessary. Thank you again for staying with us, for notifying us in a timely manner, and for the 5/5 review. We hope that you'll continue staying with us to enjoy some amazing ocean views.

Hi Debbie, I regret that you experienced some problems with your stay. We can't predict when batteries will die in some fixtures, but you were welcome to remove the dying battery so you could rest better on your last night with us. Also, each of the condos at D Sands Condominiums is individually owned with an HOA overseeing the communal amenities, and some owners are better at communicating with our team than others. We had been told that work next door was delayed because of a contractor cancellation, and I truly do regret that better information wasn't shared with us so we could notify you and others. It's rather unfortunate that owners are not required to tell us if they're doing work in their condos while staying. I am relieved to hear that they were respecting quiet hours and didn't start any earlier, however. We also haven't received any complaints about the refrigerator in your unit before now, so thank you for sharing your concerns. We'll look into them and share your comments with the owner of that room. Our HOA also provides all pool supplies and upkeep, and we've been suggesting more chairs for a while now. We appreciate you providing your input to help us convince them that more seating would be appreciated by our guests. We hope that despite those setbacks you and your family were able to enjoy your time; we certainly noticed how everyone was enjoying the pool area! We hope that the ocean view, stocked kitchen, and thoughtfully decorated condo gave you some things to enjoy. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review, and we wish you the best on all your travels.

Great location. Relatively clean. Wish we could have checked in early but it’s a 25.00 extra fee.

John, thank you for taking time to review your recent stay in 315, Original Swim. We appreciate your feedback and hope to address a couple of your concerns here. We note upon booking that early check-in and late checkouts are unlikely and generally not provided. However, we do try our best to allow guests to check-in early, if housekeeping can accommodate the early arrival. We impose an early arrival fee if we have the capacity to redirect the housekeeping schedule to prepare for an early arrival. We understand that some guests would rather wait until the designated check-in time, rather than paying a fee to arrive early, and that's okay. Regarding dishes and our checkout procedures, although we request guests clean their dishes before their departure, housekeeping staff are required to inspect each dish in between guests and re-wash them as needed. Our staff are also available during normal business hours to assist you with any cleanliness concerns that you may have. We hope that you enjoyed all that this cozy condo has to offer, and that you loved the oceanfront view, easy beach access, and close proximity to a number of great shops and restaurants. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to host you again soon!

This was a pleasure trip to watch waves. Several storms rolled through and this location never fails with viewing them in all their power!! We decided to extend our stay by a day and they were very helpful in getting it done. The only downside was being on the 3rd floor since there's no elevator, but it's a perfect floor for watching the waves. Also the king bed is extremely hard, so was glad to have the queen in the living area since it is a little softer.

While these situations are quite rare, friction against the bolt (such as trying to open/close the door before the bolt has retracted all the way) can cause the batteries to deplete rapidly and unexpectedly. We do our best to prevent problems, but if given the chance, the answering service is there to aid guests in these rare situations and they will connect guests that need help with one of our responsive staff members, typically the general manager herself. However, after checking our call logs and the records from the emergency answering service, it appears that your daughter disconnected the call from the answering service before they could transfer to the emergency on-call person that would have been able to assist her further. We are so relieved to hear that your daughter was able to wake one of the children to let her in and that the rest of the night was uneventful. We sincerely hope that you enjoyed your stay, and would be happy to host you again. We wish you all the best in your future travels!

Thank you again for your kind feedback. We can't wait to host your next beach vacation!

The location was excellent, the views amazing. The property is starting to show it's age but that's to be expected. The garbage can on the third floor was overflowing onto the floor with coffee grounds and food wrappers when we got there. It was left that way for two days and the seagulls made it a bigger mess.

Hi Ed!Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback on your stay. We are thrilled to hear that you found Unit 320, Definitely Matey, such a great fit with the amazing ocean view and our excellent central location in Lincoln City! We appreciate you bringing the garbage and seagull issue to our attention. While we have staff to take care of that routinely, there are times when garbages fill up faster than expected or we have staffing shortages that prevent us from completing that task as efficiently as planned. We would have been happy to take care of that during your stay, had we known it was an issue, and will definitely make it a point to check it more frequently. We look forward to hosting you again at D Sands Rentals, you are welcome back anytime!

Very nice when in the room by the ocean. Super clean. Sooo loud though. Thirty feet from Hwy 101 on the bedroom side. Very unpleasant outside the room, entrance side. Still, far cheapest option with kitchen and able to sleep an entire family. Excellent views.

Kimberly, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. I'm happy to hear that the room was clean and that you enjoyed our ocean frontage. We are admittedly located in close proximity to he highway. Most guests aren't bothered by the noise, but it's certainly there if you're listening for it. We hope to see you again!

Don't believe the website!!!!
D Sands was nice but there was no tub and after a long hike I really needed to soak in a tub. The website shows all rooms have tubs and showers!!!! Also the refrigerator is old and made so much noise you couldn't hear the TV or sleep. It does have a great view and it's easy to get to the beach.

Diane, thank you for taking time to review your stay in 319, For Shore. We have looked into your concerns and have ensured that the privately owned condos that we manage do not list private hot tubs as an amenity. The property does have a community pool and hot tub provided by the HOA to each of our guests. We appreciate your feedback on the refrigerator and will pass this information along to the owner to consider changes regarding the appliance. We are glad that you still enjoyed your time with us, despite having other expectations. We hope you found our centralized location in town and fully stocked kitchenette to be convenient for your stay. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to have you as our guests again soon!

Steven, thank you for taking time to review your stay in 117, License to Krill. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the view. It is wonderful knowing our housekeeping team did a great job preparing for your stay and trust you found it to be well-stocked with everything you needed. We are sorry to hear you didn't find the bed to be very comfortable. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to the condo owner to consider changes and appreciate you sharing your experience with us. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to have the opportunity of having you as our guest again in the future. Our buildings were constructed in the '80s, and given our location between the beach and directly off of Highway 101, guests can expect to hear traffic from the highway with the possibly of hearing general noise from people occupying neighboring units. Parking spaces may be a bit small for larger vehicles. It is optimized to accommodate at least one, small to average sized, vehicle per reservation. Adjacent to the property, street parking is available, if the lot happens to fill up or can't accommodate a large vehicle. RVs and Trailers are not permitted.

Kathleen, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is important as we rely on hearing from our guests to ensure we’re doing a great job. As you shared in your review, this was not the case for you and for this, we do apologize. We understand that you are feeling disappointed. We are disheartened to hear that you had concerns with parking and overall customer service experience during your stay, we work hard to ensure you are able to enjoy a worry free experience and were sad to learn of your concerns after you had departed. Our records show that you requested assistance with your TV and a member of our staff was quick to assist you and address the troubles you had. We hope you found their assistance to be helpful. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to management so that your concerns are heard. Given our location on the beach and directly off of highway 101, our parking is limited and optimized to accommodate one vehicle per reservation, including overflow parking for larger vehicles. We appreciate your candor and the opportunity you have given us to improve. Thank you again for touching base with us. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Hi Olga!Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Unit 103, Three Men and a Matey, has a lot to offer! The incredible ocean view, the fully stocked kitchenette, the central location, and our easy beach access nearby. We understand that personal preferences for mattress firmness can vary greatly. Our aim is to offer a comfortable and restful night's sleep to all our guests, however it's important to note that the comfort level of mattresses is subjective. In addition, we take cleanliness very seriously, and we are disheartened to hear that your condo did not meet our usual high standards. We would have loved to address any areas of concern during your stay had we been made aware of them. It is important to us that our guests have a comfortable and clean environment during their stay. We look forward to having the opportunity to find a unit more suited to your needs and preferences in the future. You are welcome to visit us again at D Sands Rentals anytime!
