Hello everyone, I wanted to give our story of our newly purchased small STR in an unincorporated area of Nehalem, placed in the hands of the voting community. After reading a lot of the email comments it’s very soul wrenching to witness such anger & venom towards STR owners. My wife is an emergency room nurse saving lives every day in 12 hour shifts & I have worked in kitchens since I was 13 years old in Europe. I’m now 57! We have saved & put every penny into our STR home. I have never done any remodeling or tiling but to save money I studied, you tubed, tiled, floored, gardened, painted, fenced, every day throughout the winter months and yesterday just put the finishing touches to hopefully begin renting to visitors. I want our guests to have an incredible experience in our area, promoting all of the local Stores, restaurants, bakeries retail shops etc. I have visited all our neighbours and hosted a barbecue ‘thank you party’ for them and anyone who had helped advise & support me. My name & phone is Posted big & bold outside the home and if anyone should have any disturbance, I will be 100% accountable & immediately involved. I will monitor all of the incoming guests to make sure they are the right fit. This is not about greed or disregard for my community of which many write! This is my only income! My body is broken from too many years serving in the hospitality industry, I am 100% involved in making my home work in the community. So please all you ‘haters’ out there, please take into consideration folk such as myself & wife. Please vote for this regulation to pass so we can continue respectfully with our STR business & fine heavily those owners who do not respect the unincorporated areas so everyone is held accountable. Thank you for reading the other side & please vote to continue STR’s and bring revenue to our much needed area. Thank you with much gratitude & hope.
