We LOVED our stay at the housing houses on Jantzen Beach! Our favorite stay in Portland thus far. Upon entering the island is a cozy little cove of whimsical floating homes on the Columbia River. It reminds me of a PNW version of Key West. The area is extremely secure, with security measures throughout the property. During our stay that were repairing one of the gates, it was no hassle whatsoever and they had security making sure everyone coming in was supposed to be there, which we appreciated. Communication was fast and informative, checking in and out were a breeze. The home itself was top notch. The facade was cute and welcoming, and upon entering it felt like home right away. They had light music playing for us on the ginormous TV with all the streaming and music apps available. A thank you card and gift basket full of goodies and a handy "to do" booklet was truly a personal touch. The rooms and bathrooms are a good size, full washer/dryer are convenient, the living, dining room and kitchen are big, open and perfect for a cozy night, or having a few guests without feeling crowded. We had so the amenities in the kitchen, and were able to cook some yummy meals. One of the rooms has access to its own dock, a bbq pit and the seating makes for some great night sitting under the stars on the water. We did have access to the kayaks, and although didn't use them it was great having the option, and the garage was another cool place to hang out and peak in the water. The island has tons of restaurants and stores for everything you might need, you truly never have to leave if you don't want. This house is cozy in all the best ways and an all around 5 stars for me and my guests.
