Welcome to Shift Vacation Rental’s Mississippi District location! We have a stunning urban oasis; a quick walk from the fun and trendy Mississippi District. This area has become one of the hippest places to shop, dine and drink in Portland. The street is lined with chic foodie restaurants, live music venues, and a bevy of bars, boutiques and brewpubs. Colorful buildings line the main thoroughfare of Mississippi, while historic and charming residential neighborhoods surround the area.

When renting this property you get two separate houses. First is our 4-bedroom, 2-bath totally remodeled bungalow set up perfectly for gathering or relaxing. The house has an open floor plan with lots of natural light and great for people-watching along Mississippi District! There are several designer touches, reclaimed wood, and incredible reuse ideas. The kitchen is fully-stocked for cooking, baking, or just keeping it simple with a cup of coffee in the morning.

The main floor has 2 bedrooms, and one full bathroom--one room has a queen bed and the other a double down/twin up bunk.

Walk downstairs and you enter into another entertaining area, with second TV, games, and cozy seating area. A perfect spot to send the kids to play while the adults hang upstairs. Downstairs also has 2 bedrooms each with a queen bed. There is a full bathroom with beautiful tile and a double shower head.

The second house is a 2000/sf newly built modern house at the rear of the lot. The house is vast and open with tons of light. The kitchen is fully-stocked.

The main floor is ADA (those with wheelchairs, walkers, crutches or impaired mobility will be comfortable). That bedroom has a King mattress.

Upstairs is a family room, with cool hanging hammock chairs, second TV, and cozy couch. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs--three with queen beds and one with a double down/twin above bunk bed. There are also two tiled bathrooms; one with a bathtub, the other with a walk-in shower. A balcony finishes the area off, the perfect place to enjoy a beer, sneak away for an intimate conversation, or sit and fill up on the Portland vibe while people watching from the rocking chairs.

Outside, each house has a picnic table. Front Break has a large patio facing Albina Ave. The rear dining area is more private with large table, benches, and plantings. The side yard, has benches creating a lounge zone with outdoor grill and dart board- wonderful for summer evenings.

There is one parking spot on site for each house.

You need more houses to book? Don't worry we have a duplex about 1.5 miles away on Alberta Street. Please get in touch for more information.

We are fully permitted and compliant with the City of Portland. Permit number #TL90949.

Great Location, Comfort, and Communication
My husband and I rented this pair of houses for a 35th anniversary celebration. The hosts were communicative, and the property itself was comfortable, spacious, and well designed. Most Portland sites that we wanted to visit were just a short drive away, and those who chose to explore on foot around the property found plenty to interest them, including a quirky taxidermy shop. We would definitely choose this rental again for a similar function.

Great Location
We had a large group (ten 18+, two teens, and two young toddlers) split between the two houses. The back house is the highlight. New, clean, fresh, and well-appointed. The outdoor living space between the two homes is great, too. The front house is older and it shows. There was a funky smell, particularly upstairs, that was fairly off-putting. Also, the beds could use some upgrading - they creak like crazy, so any movement by your partner is bound to wake all but the soundest of sleepers. But it does have two separate living areas, which allowed those of us in the front house to spreak out and never feel like we were on top of one another. Having parking and laundry available on-site was a definite plus. Altogether a great spot - would stay here again. Easy walk down to Mississippi street, which is full of shops/restaurants.

We were in town for a wedding. Many of the brides family stayed here. We could walk to all the wedding venues as well as numerous bars and restaurants. The kitchen in the back house was great for family dinners and games. Everyone loved it. So much better than a hotel.

This is a perfect setup for large groups. We had members of 5 different families in town for a wedding. There are great kitchens in each house and an excellent Mexican food truck next door. Had a wonderful time many bathrooms and beds. Michelle the host is very responsive and even sent some items we left behind. Highly recommend this property. We rented both houses but you can rent them separately.

Amazing Getaway
We rented both houses for a four day family reunion and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The property is clean and lovely, has an expansive supply of kitchen utensils, dishes, spices etc. along with everything you could need for linens and bathroom supplies. The outdoor table and seating areas between both houses provided a great additional area for relaxing and chatting while the dartboard and hula hoops entertained many in our group for hours! The decor is artful and lively adding to the charm of the houses. The neighborhood is walkable with many choices for dining and light shopping and the evenings were calm, and the nights were amazingly quiet! I wish we could have stayed longer and I was sad to depart from such a great stay - we would definitely rent this residence again from our great hosts Michelle and Klaas! Thank you for making this a most amazing getaway for our family!

Thanksgiving week with four generations
This was a great property for my extended group of kids, grandkids and great grandkids (20). There were enough beds and bedrooms, enough space to spread out and a great space to be together. With two kitchens our feast was easy to prepare. In the evenings there were games around the large table and kid movies on the second floor. With the airport being close, flights in and out were easy. We had a great, great time and hope to return in the future.

Beautiful House!
Great house, perfect for our work team. We had the whole property with one house for the guys and one for the gals. Grateful for the early check in.There was some heating issues when we first arrived, but prompt reply and solve. Parking was a little challenging since it's mainly street parking and two assigned spots, but we were expecting that. Maybe the website can show which rooms are in which house. Other than that, it was great and we will book again, especially since it's very close to our office.

Perfect for large family reunion!
We rented both houses for our 20 person cousin reunion and it was in the perfect central location! There’s a coffee shop and corner market basically next door and a 5-10 min drive to downtown! There was a lot of space to accommodate us and extra chairs in the shed. 3 small complaints: 1) Wishing some of the bathrooms had more counter space or wall shelves, since with that many people, there’s a need to accommodate that many toiletry bags; 2) wishing the outside darts area was better lit to hang out at night; and 3) wishing there was a gate out in the front so that the little kids couldn’t go past the house property. But other than that it was perfect and everyone had a really great time! If you’re coming to Portland with a huge group, I highly recommend this place!

PSU Graduation
Wow! So happy to have found this unbelievable property!! We had family from all over the United States join us for the youngest member of our family to graduate college. Location is easy to PDX and downtown Portland. The two houses of this property were perfect for our guests of 16 adults. There are areas for private conversations or areas for large group gatherings. Both the houses are comfortable and supplied with all that you will ever need. There is a large outdoor patio area for gathering, even for a large group. Adequate seating for all and again areas for smaller groups or the entire big group. The neighborhood is so quaint and loaded with fun finds and great eating! Eem Thai is outstanding! Our hosts were very welcoming and so attentive to all our needs. They even left a very thoughtful graduation gift to be enjoyed by all during the weekend. Such a gem of a property. Such wonderful hosts. We all marveled at the location, space, and charm of this property and the incredible find. Thank you to Michelle and Klass for making this recent celebration perfect and a lasting memory for our entire family.

Michelle is an amazing host and was easily accessible. The home comes with everything that you will need for your stay, and there is something for everyone in the family/group perfect for big groups. Only thing that was unclear was the checkout process and instructions. I would recommend making that more obvious in the FAQs or in the listing. Would definitely stay here again with our family!
