Sunshine House is wonderful! This place is the cozy home that we were hoping to find for our week in Eugene visiting relatives. Everything is fresh and clean, including the paint and soft carpeting. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are first rate and the towels are plush and new. And surprisingly, even on 90 degree days, the A/C and fans kept the house cool and welcoming.We could tell that our host, Laura, truly enjoys making people happy. She really anticipated our needs and added thoughtful touches throughout the house to make our stay special. In addition, she had lots of recommendations for local restaurants and was quick to respond when we asked for beach towels to take to the ocean.All in all, my sister and I had a lovely stay and will definitely book this house again when we are in the Eugene area.

We've stayed at this home twice and we love it! I can't think of a single thing that didn't meet our expectations, and more. Laura is very easy to communicate with as well. We hope to visit again.
