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.

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.

We stayed at this property as a retreat-type trip. It had a great space for hanging out as a group indoors and outdoors as well as enough bedrooms to find a quiet space. The neighborhood was great, walkable restaurants and coffee spots.

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.

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!

I ARRANGED FOR MY WRESTLING TEAM TO STAY AT THIS SITE. IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED. EVENTHOUGH WE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH TIME TO JUST SIT BACK ENJOY IT, IT PROVIDED A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE. THE EASY ACCESS TO I-5 WAS ALSO AN ADVANTAGE.

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.

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.

Two awesome buildings that were clean and very accommodating. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Close to just about everything interesting in Portland, after a 5-10 minute Uber ride.

Our family of 20 ranging in age 10 to 88 arrived in 6 vehicles and didn’t know to expect. The 2 Breaks decor was fabulous. Our hosts thought of everything. The neighborhood was fun to explore and completely safe. The suggestions for outings in other areas were appreciated. Thank you, Shift Rentals and you rate an A++ with us!

These units were a great option for our "Big Family" reunion! The configuration of bedrooms, common areas, and amenities worked out great for us - our group of 13 adults and 4 kids aged 3-68 were all quite comfortable! Walking distance to lots of things with options for all - playgrounds to breweries!

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!

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.

The house was absolutely stunning. Everything about the stay was amazing. Truly a beautiful and unique home. Located in such a great neighborhood everything is lively and walkable. 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!

The property is very nice.
The older home in the front does smell like ‘an old home’
Fortunately I was able to sleep in the much newer back home.

First off we have to say Michelle our host was so accommodating and always returned a phone call or a message in a very timely manner. We came in for a wedding with 20 Family members , children and infants. We rented both houses , the front and back break which were more than accommodating with any and everything we could have asked for.We did a lot of our own cooking, To waking up and grinding our own coffee beans , Michelle had everything in these houses. The beds were very comfortable and cozy, enough bathroom space for all of us and we just love the rain showerheads. We did go out and get coffee on occasion from some of the nearest coffee shops and ate at some of the restaurants. The Mississippi District has everything that we could’ve asked for all within walking distance. We had rain just about every day but it was nice to get out and walk, everything was Within close proximity to the house. We would definitely come back! THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!!!!

This was a great away-from-home base for my family to gather for a weekend of wedding events around Portland. The house has a large kitchen/dining/lounge and private outdoor area perfect for sharing meals and downtime together. We also had ample bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to get ready. And everyone loved exploring the neighborhood - especially all the food carts, restaurants, bars, and shops on N. Mississippi. The whole rental process went smoothly - very much appreciated with a wedding to worry enough about.

Perfect property for a COVID reunion
This was a great setup for our 5 family reunion. Ten adults and ten kids. We did everything outside! Eating, hanging out - the courtyard between was perfect. We did all our cooking in the rear house, what little of it we did. The proximity to the food trucks as well as all of Portland's great food scene delivered was great!
The real beauty of the two houses was that we were able to have the front house be anyone with any risk of COVID exposure and keep the rear house relatively safe. The bed configuration was a little tight for us - another bunk room or having two bunks in larger downstairs bedroom in rear brake would have been great. As is, we had a kid in the den upstairs on what he said was the most comfortable sofa ever.
The houses had plenty of dishes and silverware. The owner even got a hand mixer for me when I asked, so I could bake. That was super awesome and I was able to bake up a storm. The owner also let part of our party in early when they were hanging out waiting for check in. All this plus a super easy reservation and clear comunication ahead of schedule was much appreciated.

Terrific homes to celebrate with friends & family!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Indoor and outdoor spaces offered plenty of room for gathering for meals, games, & conversations. Michelle, thank you for superior hosting and a beautiful property to finally celebrate our marriage two years later! Tracey & Tom

5+ stars
We rented both homes for a law school graduation / family gathering. The set up could not have been better. The homes were well stocked and very clean. We had beautiful weather so we’re able to take advantage of the nice outdoor areas. What impressed me the most was Michelle the host. The minute we booked she began communicating with me to see if she could help with anything we might need upon arrival. She was equally responsive while we were there. My nephew (the graduate) and his wife live in Portland so we will be back.

Great for groups!
This property was exactly as advertised. It can house a large group, and included all the kitchenware you would need. They even had games available! The location is in a nice quiet area with lots of food options within walking distance. Overall a great experience

Delightful! Perfect place for our team to connect.
This was a perfect location for our team while we attended a conference at the Oregon Convention Center. It was wonderful. Perfect for our large group and easy for evening gathering and debriefing the day. Super clean, each room was lovely. Our staff thought the beds were incredibly comfy. We are so thankful for the opportunity to gather here and stay. It was exactly what our team needed. Multiple bathrooms made it an easy stay for our team. Thank you for your gracious hospitality. We loved it!

Perfect for a family get-away
We rented both the front and rear houses which provided plenty of space for our large group to spread out and have privacy, while providing for some nice gathering spaces. The houses were fully stocked with kitchen and bath items - we cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal for 11 people and had everything we needed. The location is great - neighborhood is edgy, but has fun bars and restaurants close by.

Perfect stay!
This place was perfect for our group of 20 and two generations (20’s & 50’s)! We were there for my oldest daughter’s wedding and we all loved the place, fun, contemporary, comfortable, clean and overall very well appointed. Food trucks, restaurants and shop within walking distance made it very convenient and a motivation for morning walks. The host, Michelle responded timely to my inquiries, always friendly and vey helpful. But there is more! After checking out, we decided to take a drive to Multnomah Falls and once there I went looking for my purse to realized it was left behind, somewhere by the driveway when packing up the car. I called Michelle who immediately called the cleaning folks and within minutes she text me a pic of my bag and just like it was left. Eternally grateful not only for recovering my bag but for her immediate attention, giving me piece of mind and allowing us to continue enjoying the day. This place will forever hold special family memories and we’ll definitely return. Highly recommend it!!!

Excellent Place!
We came with a large group of 15 for a work conference. This place did not disappoint! We enjoyed the different seating areas both inside and out, and felt we had enough rooms with enough privacy for a trip of this type. It was VERY clean, fully stocked, and in walking distance to an awesome hub of food trucks! There was a small assortment of trucks right next door so we never had to overthink a quick bite! Thank you for the love and care that went into this property! It's obvious that you considered all of the details (down to umbrellas for us Californians who never plan on rain!) We will for sure place this location on the short list for our return next year!

Perfect Group Homebase
We rented both the front and rear break houses for a family gathering to attend a wedding. Check in and out were contactless and a breeze. Both properties are lovely with tons of open space to hang out both indoors and out. Not to mention it's a quick walk away from Mississippi Ave for plenty more to do. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for any large group gathering.

Amazing house(s) in the Mississippi District
This was perhaps the nicest place that I've ever stayed. The houses were beautiful and clean. Great funky lay out with lots of extras like hanging chairs, dart board, outdoor seating, great furnishings and storage. We rented both houses and it was super convenient for a group of 14 of us who were attending a conference at the Convention Center. Lovely little treats and coffee and wine waiting for us along with a personal note. I would strongly recommend these to others and would definitely rent here again!
