  What a charming cottage in a perfect location! We loved the proximity to Manzanita and the beach, and the privacy of the incredible gardens. The kitchen and home were well equipped, neat and tidy. It was perfect for a girls weekend. Absolutely perfect.

  We have rented homes from VRBO from coast to coast. This home is in a class of it's own. The furnishings and supplies are just as if you have walked into your own home. There are books, music, wi-fi, patio furniture and ample luxuries to make your stay everything you would hope for. It rained every day we were in Manzanita and yet we had a fantastic time cooking fresh local seafood and veges in the wonderfully supplied kitchen. I almost hate to tell you how great this rental is, because we will definitely stay there again when we travel to the west coast and I know that anyone who has stayed here will want to stay no where else. The competition for this home will be fierce!

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Our greatest wish is to make the Vicarage a place people will find like home. Whatever the season it is a place at which you can enjoy the beauty of the beach and cook up the provender of the land and sea. Thanks for sharing your joy in being there.

  What a wonderful place to spend a few days. It's hard to pack up and leave. From the beautiful English garden to the many thoughtful details around the house, we enjoyed it all. Standing on the deck in total darkness, listening to the ocean is so peaceful and rejuvenating. The town is wonderful, the local food superb, and the cottage is just too adorable to stand.

  The Vicarage is a lovely cottage tucked up a short walk to the beach. The garden is delightful and peaceful.. A wonderful place to sit and relax in. The cottage is very well taken care of and has a very nice layout. The kitchen is very well supplied for those who like to cook (a bbq outside too). The location is ideal if you don't want to be in the active tourist area, yet if you forgot a grocery or two for supper it is a short bike ride to the store. Nehalem St. Park is also in biking distance and worth a visit. The 3 wheel beach bikes (rented just off the beach in Manzanita) was a new and fun adventure for the whole family. I would recommend this to a friend or relative; I would be looking for this property the next time I head down the Oregon coast.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

  Owner response: Thanks, Kristin and Jonathan, we're so glad the Vicarage was the perfect place for your holiday. As avid cooks we especially love to share our kitchen and courtyard (as well as dining room and breakfast nook) with guests who enjoy making the Vicarage their home for a few days. Foodies: don't miss the Manzanita farmers' market every Friday in season -- a treasure trove of local bounty!

  Our search for a vacation rental focused on three primary factors...the house, the nearby beach, and the town. After staying almost a month at The Vicarage, it was clear we had found the perfect combination to address our needs. The Vicarage was spotless, well appointed, bright, and offered quiet, relaxing space both indoors and out. I spent many pleasant hours reading outdoors and had the option of several different secluded garden areas with beautiful blooming plants, hummingbirds, and gentle breezes. Indoors, we found the house to be wonderfully warm and welcoming. Everything we needed, and more, was there upon our arrival. This clearly was a home rather than 'just' a rental property. The Manzanita beach is fabulous. We had stayed in Cannon Beach two years ago and found the beach, although beautiful, to be a bit crowded and busy. In Manzanita, we enjoyed seven miles of gorgeous shoreline that seemed almost private. And the town of Manzanita...small, quiet, and the perfect compliment for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed the coffee shops, people-watching, and listening to the locals. We were delighted with our vacation and send our sincere appreciation to Paul and Mary.

  Owner response: It was a joy to have Joy and Greg stay at the Vicarage. We appreciated their glowing words for our beloved beach home. We also appreciated their care for it while there. They were exemplary guests and we hope to have them return soon. Thanks, Joy and Greg and your three furry fly-ball friends. Paul and Mary

  We just stayed at the Vicarage a few weeks back. The house was lovely, kitchen was well stocked (the knives were even sharp!), and the rooms were comfortable. Everything was well put together, we loved the stay and loved the house!

  Owner response: Paddy, As two former residents of Hawaii to another we wish you mahalo nui loa for your kind words. Late summer on Manzanita beach -- sun, surf, and gentle breezes -- is almost Hawaiian. Aloha, Paul and Mary

  It was a pleasure to stay at The Vicarage! What a wonderfully warm and inviting home. This home is well cared for and the attn to detail of comforts was welcomed on a stormy wintery weekend. I don't think the pictures even do this house justice. Clean, quiet, comfortable! They also make it easy for you to keep the house as tidy and warm as you left it. There is also an unmistakable charm and character to the house that signifies that the owners have and continue to embrace many diverse cultures along their way. I would not hesitate in a minute to stay at The Vicarage again and look forward to sharing it with those that I know that want a unique coastal stay. Thanks Paul and Mary!

  Owner response: The Vicarage has been a labor of love for us, decorated with mementos of our many travels. We're delighted, Mickey,that we can share it with you. Come back soon!

  I have been visiting the OR coast now at least 6 times a year for the past 10 years, and this visit was one of the best. My brother and sister in law came to visit from PA and there were 2 places we had to take them to...Mt Ranier and the OR Coast. My sister in law is an avid gardener so when I saw the pictures of the Vicarage on line, I had a feeling this was the place to rent. I couldn't have been more right. The gardens, the and the deck are absolutely delightful. There is a peace and comfort that I have not experienced at all of the other places I have rented. The home is inviting and quaint to say the least. It is obvious that Paul and Mary take great pride and joy in their home. I feel very fortunate that I found this home and it was available for our family. I will definitely be returning. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us.

  Owner response: We especially enjoy sharing our garden with guests. Even in the dead of winter there are signs of the wonders to be revealed. We are so glad Ellen and her family had a chance to share in its beauty at its height.

  I had the opportunity to stay at "the vicarage" for almot a week in Aug 2011. I was familiar with the location of the cottage from previous visits to Manzanita but actually staying there was a real treat. I found it to be exceptionally clean with a very warm and cozy feeling. The bedrooms all had doors to the outer deck and/or courtyard area...nice for a summertime visit. The kitchen was sunny and inviting each morning and very, very nicely equipped. The ciurtyard and gardens were even better then the photos and each morning I was able to enjoy visits from the busy little hummingbirds on the daily rounds. The cottage is just a short walk to the beach and in a quiet and beautiful area of the Oregon Coast...the beach there is one of the prettiest there is. I would highly recommend this cottage as it is just the perfect getaway place and far surpasses the online photos...it is like staying in a home right out of the pages of a fairy tale!!

  Owner response: A cancellation made Kay's dream of staying at the Vicarage come true, and she plans to return next year. We are now taking reservations for late fall and next spring and summer.
