Quick Trip to Coeur d'Alene Garden District

Great place to stay if you are visiting to hang out at the lake and walk into town. It was great place for my friend's sweet dog to be able to join us.

Very underwhelming

Not our typical VRBO experience. —When we arrived, we quickly discovered that the window blinds for our daughters’ bedroom were missing leaving a clear view of the beds from the yard/back area. We also noted that there were only 3 barstools for the “dining area;” not conducive for our family of 4. Thankfully, we were able to reach Andrew and Lindsey arrived shortly thereafter to re-hang the blinds damaged by a previous renter and she was able to return later to bring a different barstool. She was very polite and responsive to our concerns. —As mentioned in a previous review, there is no front porch lighting, despite the fixture. The light in the entry way was also out as were 3 of the 5 bulbs in the living room lamp. This house isn’t in the nicest of neighborhoods so sending our girls out to the truck after dark was not an option. There is also no front screen door as depicted in the ad so we were unable to open up the house in evenings. —The bathroom has been remodeled, however, the workmanship was shoddy. The house is in need of repair as there is water damage and cracks in the drywall noted throughout. —The check-out instructions include washing your dishes and returning them to “their proper place,” however, the scrub brush and sponge provided were very dirty. We used minimal dishes for this reason. —I was hoping to run a quick load of laundry while we were there but the smell on the stairs leading to the basement was foul (think dirty mop water) so we took a pass. Because of the car show in town during our stay, we were limited in our options. We chose this home with optimism and had hoped to be able to enjoy a few meals there and the kitchen appeared to have everything we would need. This house has the potential to be a nice and quaint rental but as one reviewer indicated, the owners do not appear to be in the business of hospitality but, rather, to make money. The baseboards were dirty, the shower curtain was stained, and there was only 1 washcloth in the entire unit. A walk through of the home by the owners in advance should be the standard. The house (especially the towels) smelled musty. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy time spent in the house.

Cute, cozy art deco style home. Master bed so comfortable but the double under the bunk, not so much. If the couch is a Kick Klack we couldn't figure it out...but got in late. Thanks for the coffee.

Canceled day of reservation

Andrew canceled my stay the day of my reservation with no sort of compensation for the extra costs I had to book a new place same day. I was notified at 3 am and there was no other communication or reply’s from him. Very disappointing, I do not recommend booking with him.

Spacious living room in a quiet neighborhood

The living room in this townhouse was very roomy for our family of five. I loved the decor. Our kids enjoyed playing in the big front yard. The bathroom was tiny, but we were only there one night. We followed the owner’s directions for trying to keep the house cool, but by bedtime it was still miserably hot. It was difficult to fall asleep, even with the small fans in each room. I’d suggest bringing your own fans for the bedrooms if you’re visiting in the warmer months.

Location Perfect!

We stayed during the end of July so we could spend the week at silverwood without kids. It was a perfect distance away. We also spent a couple evenings at the beach close to the house. The location is perfect. Can hear a bit of noise from the joining side but we were out all day most of the days. Also close to the natural food markets and Costco.

Close to all the action

Great location, close to downtown and the beach. Andrew is so kind and great with communicating. House is cute. It’s small and basic inside, it was nice to be able to laundry while staying at the house. With the summer being exceptionally hot it was hard to keep the place cool even with all the windows and coverings closed. We made do, but would recommend more fans to keep the air moving as the only air conditioner is a window unit in the living room.,

We didn't stay at this property. At the last minute, this property wasn't available. But, the host arranged for another property for my friend and me. The place we stayed was in a great location and the property we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. Loved this trip to CDA! I'll be back.

Not What Was Expected

This property was not advertised as a duplex when I reserved it months ago, so it was a shock to pull up to see you are "on the left side". There does look like there are some improvements going on with landscaping and painting. First impression, it smelled like chemicals. It was so stuffy inside even when greeted with the air conditioner on. The rooms are tiny....and the furniture was college apartment/thrift store find looking. We found that our sheets did not appear clean, but we did find other sheets to change them. I did contact the owner and he responded quickly saying he hires professional cleaners that also clean million dollar homes...well, they forgot to actually clean this duplex. The floor turned all of our feet and/or socks black, and the vents were so full of dust. The bathroom floor mats looked like they were just shook out and put back down. There was hair stuck to the walls of the shower and wall behind the door. The shower was plugged and retained water when you showered and that was after you struggled to turn the water on. The faucet was so loose that you had to hold tight and pull straight out to turn the water on. The kitchen was stocked with basics, but are so worn and used. Also, we were shocked to discover that the windows were not locked when we put the fans in the second night. We went a whole day with our stuff in the duplex with unlocked windows. There is no way it should be advertised that 7 adults could fit or sleep in this duplex comfortably. I have teenage kids and it was a struggle. We ended up leaving a day early.

Ants Everywhere

We didn’t realize the house was a duplex. The unit we stayed in changed from the original rental agreement. The owner gave us the wrong code and didn’t respond until I called an texted both numbers provided. The house was surrounded by carpenter ants with some inside. One was crawling on my husband while he slept. The house couldn’t be secured with the AC on so we were forced to turn it off each time we left. The furniture was like a college apartment and very uncomfortable. The kitchenware looked like it was from a thrift shop. The washer and dryer were very grimy. The soap dish in the tub had old soap stuck to it, the towels had crusty substance that didn’t come off, and the shower curtain liner was covered with mildew causing the bathroom to have a horrible smell. They only provided 1.5 rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels for a week stay. The listing says it can sleep 7, but that requires someone to sleep on a very hard futon. The backyard was very uninviting. There was an old boat and about 15+ bikes taking up two of the parking spaces. No comfortable place to sit outside. The BBQ was old and rusted so much that the flame wasn’t distributed evenly making it difficult to use. They said kayaks would be available, but we had to request them several times, finally showing up on the 3rd day. And weren’t comfortable using them so ended up renting in town. The inside had some renovation but mostly low quality finishes. The location was okay in relation to downtown.

Good Location

We stayed at this property (left side) with 3 children and 2 adults. The kitchen had the basics (hand wash dishes, adequate cleaning supplies). The futon in the living room is more college level than premier (picture 12 is accurate). Not all of the pictures posted are of the left side of the property (right side pictures are the first ones posted and looks like the more updated side). I would say 3 kids/2 adults is about the max for left side, small round dining room table can sit 4. Also to clarify the bed arrangement, the one bedroom has a queen, the living room has the queen size futon, and the 2nd bedroom has a bunkbed with a full below and twin above. The house exterior has recently been painted blue (kids like it) and the landscaping is a work in progress at the time we were there. We didn't find games/video library mentioned. As another review noted, it is a split house with relatively thin walls (could hear conversations from other side, but similar to being in an older hotel). On the positive side, it is a nice location, affordable, quiet neighborhood, clean, good wifi and air conditioning unit definitely cooled the property.

Decent for the price

While the price was ok, it was not suited for 6 Adults. I am sure a family with small kids would have been great! But its small and not much room to spread out for 6 adults. The bikes we planned on using were old and unusable and we never saw a Kyak. The unit next to us was rented to College vacationers that partied hard till early morning 2 of our nights, other than that the property is very quiet and cute. Side Note: The blanket that was out for the futon smelled old and unwashed and no sheets for it, so plan to bring your own.
