Property Conditions

- The property is provided as is. Shared amenities such as pools, hot tubs, parking areas, and fitness centers are outside Avari’s control.

Cancellations and Unavailable Properties

If none is available, you may choose another available property (paying or receiving any price difference) or receive a full refund. Substituted properties are subject to these terms and any Unit-Specific Terms for that property. All of this is subject to the booking channel’s terms.

Legal

- To the maximum extent permitted by law, Avari and the owner, and their affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents, disclaim all warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, or for personal injury, illness, emotional distress, or property damage related to your stay. This applies to all claims, including those based on warranty, contract, negligence, or strict liability. You agree to indemnify Avari and the owner for claims arising from your or your guests’ actions.
- These terms are governed by Oregon law, unless your Unit-Specific Terms or local law require otherwise. Disputes will be resolved through individual binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, except for eligible small claims. Class actions and jury trials are waived. See the Avari Vacation Rental Agreement for full dispute resolution terms.

Anonymous Review from Vrbo / Expedia

August 2026

The house was great- clean, well stocked and very peaceful. We enjoyed being on the bay- sunsets, kayaking and fishing- but just steps from a beautiful beach. The management company needs help. The lock box code they emailed to us did not work. It took us hours to get the code for the lock box and could not get into the house until 8pm when the check in time was 4pm. We finally got in but then it took 3 days to get the Wi-Fi password. I would recommend contacting the management company and getting everything settled before you try to check in.

Avari response:

Thank you, Robin, for sharing your experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the peacefulness of the house and the beautiful sunsets on the bay. It sounds like you made the most of your time with kayaking and fishing, which is wonderful to hear.

We genuinely regret the issues you faced with the lock box code and the Wi-Fi password. That shouldn’t have happened, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to wait to get into the house and then deal with connectivity delays. We appreciate your feedback and will work diligently to improve our communication and ensure that everything is in order for future guests.

We hope you’ll consider staying with us again, as we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a seamless experience next time. Your comfort and enjoyment are our top priorities.
