The Location:
Welcome to Shift Vacation Rentals in the vibrant Mississippi District, one of Portland’s most beloved and walkable neighborhoods.

Just a few minutes from the house, Mississippi Avenue is lined with colorful storefronts, creative boutiques, lively music venues, award-winning restaurants, and some of Portland’s best craft breweries. Spend the day exploring local cafés, vintage shops, and galleries, then enjoy dinner and drinks without ever needing to drive.
This lively street is surrounded by charming historic neighborhoods, giving you the perfect blend of urban energy and classic Portland charm.

The Space:
This beautifully remodeled home is a bright and welcoming transformation of a 1920s bungalow. Thoughtfully designed for vacation rentals, the house offers comfortable gathering spaces, stylish details, and plenty of room for groups to relax together.
Natural light fills the main living area, where white wood walls and warm finishes create a relaxed farmhouse feel in the heart of the city. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room, making it easy for everyone to spend time together.
The fully stocked kitchen includes everything you need to cook and entertain, including a coffee grinder, coffee maker, blender, microwave, toaster, quality knives, and all the cookware needed for group meals. The large wood dining table is perfect for shared dinners or planning the next day’s adventures.
Of course, you may find yourself eating out most of the time since some of Portland’s best restaurants are just a short walk away.

Sleeping Layout:
Main Floor:
Bedroom with queen bed
Bedroom with bunk bed (double lower / twin upper)
Full bathroom with beautifully tiled shower and large rain shower head

Lower Level:
Second living area with TV, games, and cozy seating
Two bedrooms, each with a king bed
Full bathroom with tile shower and dual shower heads
The downstairs lounge is a great place for kids or teens to hang out while adults relax upstairs.

Parking:
1 parking spot is included in the lot nextdoor. Free street parking is available. Guests can typically park directly in front of the home or within a block or two.

Traveling With a Larger Group?
This home sits on a shared lot with another beautiful vacation rental — a modern home with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Both homes can be rented together for larger gatherings, family reunions, workshops, or group trips.

Need even more space? We also have a duplex rental in the Alberta Arts District, just a five-minute drive away.

This Mississippi District retreat offers the perfect mix of space, walkability, and Portland character, making it an ideal home base for exploring the city.

All communications were prompt, and the house instructions were clear and well-organized. Our holiday family gathering was truly priceless! The home was perfect for two toddlers and six adults, and the dining table easily accommodated everyone plus two dinner guests. We especially appreciated the decorated tabletop Christmas tree — an unexpected and thoughtful touch. The kitchen was well stocked, the amenities matched (and even exceeded) the description, and the prime location put shops and restaurants within easy walking distance.It was a memorable week and we appreciate the owners' attention to detail.

The house exceeded our expectations. We stay in vacation rentals multiple times a year which gives us a realistic idea of what to expect for the money. This home really delivers. The inside is comfortable with personal touches such as artwork and beautiful handmade tables throughout. The kitchen well stocked, lighting pleasing, guestbook helpful, internet fast, front porch cute, neighborhood excellent. I can’t stress how historical and wonderful this neighborhood is. Don’t miss going for walks and spend some money at the local businesses.

There were four of us staying, so having 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was wonderful. The beds were very comfortable and the blackout curtains kept it nice and dark. The neighborhood is lively, but it wasn't noisy at all at night. The house is well equipped with supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms. We really just needed to bring our clothes. The location is perfect for exploring all parts of the city. We could get anywhere we wanted in 20 minutes or less. It was especially nice being close to the airport on our last day. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and quick to respond to questions. This is a great property for a group of friends or a family.
