Tired property

I imagine this being a pre-purchased retirement property for someone, and with minimal reinvestment to keep up the property while in the VRBO program.There is a strong mildew odor in the home, presumably from water damage that was evident in the basement laundry closet.The floors were not properly cleaned when we arrived, and the main shower still had hair on the walls after the management company sent attendants to re-clean after we had checked in. Without walking around the whole house to the front door, the partial ADU (no kitchen) on the property can only be accessed by passing through the main bedroom, or the second bedroom with 2 twin beds. The furniture is quite tired and does not really coordinate well with the Hawaiian theme attempt. Positive aspects include excellent location, nice hot tub and backyard area.I have never been this frank about a rental experience that didn’t meet our expectations.In sum, I will say that the property is overpriced, not well maintained, but in a great location.

Great location. Loved the hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes, pots and pans. Because we were there over Christmas, wished there was some Christmas decor besides a wreath on the door.

Cozy and great location

Great place for 2 couples—main house has nice living room, kitchen and comfy king bed. Another room has twin beds which we didn’t use. Our son and his girlfriend stayed in the studio with their small dog. That also has a comfy king bed. There is a lovely outdoor space with a patio table and a hot tub with beautiful surroundings by the studio. Decor is Hawaiian which is a little different but charming. The only thing we didn’t care for was the picnic table as a dining table. Overall a great place!

Perfect Location!

Close to downtown, the river and many parks. Lovely area for walks in the morning and very peaceful location. A mini fridge in the studio would have been nice for waters, etc, but we have no complaints about the property and certainly recommend it! Thank you!

Great location!

We loved our stay! The location is incredible. Easy walk to downtown restaurants. But the best part is the location to the river - 1.5 blocks away is an easy access to the river, swim holes, and the river path. The house has great separation of space. Will come back for sure!

Cozy Bungalow with Guest Cottage and Great Bend Location

We spent a weekend at Kingfisher with family and it was the perfect place for friends and/or family. The main house has 2 bedrooms/baths and the guest cottage is a 1 bedroom/bath. the cottage was a great separate space for guests. The outdoor space was amazing, with a hot tub and large dinner table with a grill for outdoor eating. Besides being the perfect set up, the Location was ideal. It was a short walk (1-2 minutes) to an amazing park on the river and a 10-11 minute walk to downtown where all the breweries, restaurants and shopping are located. This was the perfect weekend rental! In addition, management was very responsive and professional They also checked in with us on how things were going and available to answer questions but the rental book on site had everything in it. Highly Recommend!!!

Gem

My family of 6 (including our dog) stayed at the Kingfisher in the middle of June. It was fantastic! Lovely neighborhood and great location (walkable) near river trail and downtown. The home was comfortable and unique, and the separate bonus room meant everyone had space. Nice landscaping and fully fenced-in yard with outdoor seating. We did not have time to use all the amenities (bikes, hot tub) but hope to next time. Instructions and communication were clear. Definitely would rent again!

Perfect Getaway!

My oldest son goes to college in Bend and this was the perfect place to stay to be able to visit with him! I brought my other son with me and he loved being able to go run the trails along the river that are just down the block. There was way more space than we needed and the house was really well equipped (my oldest got to BBQ which he loved). We will stay here again the next time we come up for a visit!

Birthday party at the Capitol.

This bungalow was very nice. Everyone thought it was way bigger than it looked in pics online. We had the max 8 people stay and everyone had their own space. Plus places to gather.

A Treat, Really

Kingfisher Bungalow has been lovingly updated to retain original charm with more modern appliances. Details make a difference--breakfast nook, plenty of coat hooks, 4 legged bath tub, quality wood blinds, abundant lighting, comfortable beds, and sufficient kitchen utensils. Huge plus: it's within 3 blocks of Deschutes River walk/bike path. It is decorated with historical posters and art about Hawaii. Our only suggestion is to add to the written description a note about bringing bedding or sleeping bags if there are more than 4 guests. It can sleep 8 with firm couches. Fortunately, we were a party of 4.

We stayed in Bend over the President's Day Weekend at the Kingfisher Bungalow and had a wonderful time. Location is unbeatable to downtown, and the vibes were amazing (loved the Hawaiian decor!). Would definitely stay again in the future.

Kingfisher will be booked again!

In Bend for a family wedding, my husband and I stayed at the Kingfisher Bungalow for 10 nights. Our 2 grown sons, wife and girlfriend stayed there 2 and 4 nights. We are very familiar with Bend and could tell from the map that this would be a great location for easy walking downtown - and it was! The house was more than adequately stocked with everything we could need - I brought diet restricted ingredients and even baked muffins in the oven! We all enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of a busy day. There were a couple issues with the bathroom plumbing but all was responded to resolved quickly by the property managers. Next time we are all in Bend together we will definitely book the Kingfisher Bungalow again. Couldn't have asked for more in terms of location (about a mile walk), accommodations, service and provisions. Oh and the Hawaii theme throughout the house and apartment was charming!

Great house in quiet neighborhood

Great location in Bend! Very easy to walk to the river and into downtown. Neighborhood is quiet and attractive. Charming old house, very well kept and clean, and more spacious by far than it looks from the front. One of our teens especially liked the separate "pool house" bedroom and claimed it for his own. :) Really enjoyed hot tubbing under the stars on the cold nights!

Fantastic island themed home

Having the river trail out the door and a short walk to downtown were great. Everything within worked as advertised - wonderful reserve and spices/items for cooking, easy to fit the 5 of us on comfortable beds, enjoyable spaces for dining and conversation, welcomed touches in nearly every room. Personally, heated floors in the bathroom when it was 1 degree and snowing outside was opulent. I'd stay again - for sure.

Overall we found this location to be great for visiting sights near downtown Bend. Mirror Pond and Old Mill The home is maintained well and very comfortable The floorplan/layout is a little quirky but to be expected with an older home We did not take advantage of the Hot Tub, but it was warm and clean upon arrival. Would consider staying here again if I am in the area.
