Somehow she has been able to dupe the BBB and currently has a rating of "A." This is because she has all her words meticulously placed, a "contract" with tidy fine print, and renters who fail to follow through.
The "so-called" cleaning crew, if it exists, does not clean. The pictures tell the story. Read the blog. Do your homework. DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE.

$101 / 5br - 3000ft2 - Special! 1-5 Bdrms 75% Off Ocean/Mtn Views Hot Tub Jacuzzi Fireplaces
Here's what a little digging will do...
Still says "Roads End" and has photos from prior to March 2011 when we stayed here. Over 90% of the furniture in these photos was broken and damaged seven years ago.
RUN.
Do NOT rent.

New Name, New Game?
In the hopes that the rental property was no longer in service there have been no updates to this blog in some time. However, several comments lead us to believe that there is still a problem with the property located on SW Jetty in Lincoln City.
Does anyone have current pictures? An updated listing for this property? Or know what name is being used at this time?
We would be happy to update this blog in order to help more unsuspecting vacationers avoid the nasty home we encountered.

ROADS END Scam Continues
As of March 2014, people are still renting and being disappointed and disgusted by the use of this property. We have done all we can with the information we have. If you or anyone you know has rented this property in the last six months, please feel free to respond in the comments section or contact the administrator with your story or pictures. We would be happy to update the blog and keep the reviews current.
You are welcome to use a pseudonym and maintain anonymity.
UPDATE: THIS IS the property listed on craigslist as special 75% off, it is a 3000 sq foot house, sleeps 14, with a hot tub. Please do not confuse this with another property that also uses the ROADS END name. As far as we know the other listing is an honorable vacation home. The offending property uses the title:

By Any Other Name...
Roads End, Chablis Sands, I Dream of Jetty, or by any other name this is anything but a rose, and the deal still STINKS!
The following ad is now on craigslist:
$150 / 5br - 3000ft² - Special! 1-5 Bdrms 75% Off Ocean/Mtn Views Hot Tub Jacuzzi Fireplaces (Lincoln City/Depoe Bay)
She is still using the old photos from pre-2011, which would seem to indicate that the scam continues.
We strongly suggest you rethink renting this property. If you look closely you can see that the furniture pictured on the website is the same furniture and items noted as destroyed back in March of 2011.

Roads End Vacation Rental
The Lincoln City vacation home Roads End, located at 5220 NW Jetty Ave, Lincoln City, OR 97367 is still up and running. The owners have changed the name for a third time in two years--and continue to rent to unsuspecting vacationers.
The most recent Better Business Bureau was resolved on November 15, 2012. Of course the complaint is found under the former name of Chablis Sands.
Better Business Bureau Oregon
One might assume that the owner has learned their lesson and cleaned up their act as one might say. However, when you check out the website Oregoncoastview.com and compare the pictures with the pictures in our March 2011 photos, you will notice that the futon in the first picture is the same one that is shown damaged as of March of 2011. The rug is the same dirty and stained rug from 2011. The pictured dining room table had already been destroyed and removed by March of 2011. The chaise was in a sad state as of March of 2011 as well.
Even if the furniture mentioned above could have been cleaned, it is unlikely that the damage to the futon structure could be fixed, nor could the mechanisms in the reclining couches be repaired to an acceptable standard.
At the very least the owner is still using deceptive photographs to sell the rental.
Be sensible! Find a reputable rental agency in Lincoln City and enjoy your break without the hassle and nuisance of this establishment.

Update on the BBB complaint
UPDATE: OCTOBER 2011
The current grade for Chablis Sands/I Dream of Jetty is an F. The BBB lists the following reasons for this rating:
Factors that lowered Chablis Sands' rating include:
JULY 2011
As of this writing, BBB has done all they can.
Our complaint was never answered in any form by the business owner, so it simply went on record as such.
Sadly, as evidenced by recent comments, the owner has done nothing to rectify the situation and continues her current business practices.
Everything about this situation is especially worrisome given the employment listed in her LinkedIn profile.

New Name: Chablis Sands
I dream of Jetty has changed it's name! But it hasn't changed any of it's advertising pictures. RENTERS BEWARE...Compare the pics at Chablis sands and the ones on this blog. The furniture on that website was broken and or destroyed months ago....

Better Business Bureau
Attempted to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau: however, since the business is not a participating member and the owner refused to reply, nothing was done.
Our goal was merely to get the name and information out to the masses....

Craigslist
UPDATE: In the last two weeks (today is 6/3) the ad has been placed at least two times per day, nearly EVERY day. The ad is typically flagged down within minutes to an hour. So there are others out there trying to keep her from renting to unsuspecting visitors.
No longer finding the 75% off ad on the Oregon Coast Craigslist every few days...Perhaps others have had similar experiences, or suspect fraudulent advertising/business practices.
