About this property
Oceanfront Cottage on Manzanita Beach | Private Beach Access & Fire Pit
Oceanfront Manzanita rental set directly on the sand with sweeping Pacific views, private beach access, and a beachside fire pit—this is true oceanfront living on Manzanita Beach. ⸻ This is one of those rare places where the beach is truly right outside your door. Set just above the sand, our Oceanfront Cottage offers uninterrupted views of the ocean and seven miles of open shoreline. Step outside and you’re on the beach—no roads, no paths, just direct access to Manzanita Beach.
Inside, the living room, kitchen, dining area, and two bedrooms all face the ocean, so you’re never far from the view. Whether it’s morning coffee, watching the weather roll in, or a classic Manzanita sunset, the ocean is always part of your day here.
The newly remodeled kitchen is fully equipped for up to 8 guests and designed with clean European styling, stainless steel appliances, an integrated dishwasher, a side-by-side refrigerator with icemaker, and beautiful Pratt & Larson tile. The kitchen and dining area both look straight out to the water, with a large sliding door opening to the deck and grassy yard—perfect for lawn games before heading down to the sand.
Just one step up, the living room offers a cozy, slightly tucked-away space to relax while still taking in the full oceanfront setting. Light a fire in the wood-burning fireplace, settle in with a book or movie, and watch the waves roll in. The west-facing view stretches down the coastline toward Rockaway.
The primary bedroom suite features a comfortable king bed, private deck access overlooking the beach, and an en suite bathroom with European fixtures, Pratt & Larson tile, and a Hansgrohe rain shower.
At the north end of the home, you’ll find two additional bedrooms. The second king bedroom also sits right on the oceanfront with sliding door access to the deck—one of the best “wake up to the beach” spots in the house. The third bedroom includes two sets of twin bunk beds, ideal for kids or additional guests. A second bathroom offers custom tile, European fixtures, and a warm, comfortable place to reset after a day on the beach.
Throughout the home, you’ll find quality furnishings, comfortable beds, and high-thread-count 100% cotton linens—simple, clean, and designed for a relaxed coastal stay.
Outside is where this home really shines. The private fire pit sits right next to the beach, making it easy to end the day with a fire, ocean air, and the sound of the waves. It’s the kind of experience people come to Manzanita for—and one that’s hard to find this close to the sand.
If you’re looking for a place where you can truly stay on the beach—not near it—this oceanfront Manzanita cottage delivers that experience in a way few homes can.
This is also a pet-friendly Manzanita rental, so your dog can enjoy the beach right alongside you. ⸻ ** A FEW NOTES BEFORE YOU BOOK
We like to keep things clear and easy—especially since VRBO doesn’t always make policies obvious.
RENTAL AGREEMENT During booking, you’ll be shown our Rental Agreement outlining policies, house details, and expectations. Feel free to review and reach out with any questions before confirming your stay. You will be required to sign our Rental Agreement before your stay. By booking your stay, you will have agreed to the VRBO and Rental Agreement policies.
PETS Dogs are welcome. Just include the number of pets when booking so we can get everything set up. A per-pet fee applies. If pets aren’t included at booking, we’ll follow up to add them.
CANCELLATION POLICIES VRBO may show this property as “No Refund,” but that’s a platform limitation. Most stays include a full refund up to 90 days before arrival, but it is seasonal. Our busy summer season has the strictest cancellation policy. These policies are noted in our Rental Agreement, which you will be shown before booking. Please reach out anytime if you’d like details before booking.
OCCUPANCY The Oceanfront Cottage sleeps 8. Three pets maximum. Three cars maximum. No RVs, Campers, Trailers, etc. allowed. This is mandated by the County. Contact us with questions or exception requests.
SCHEDULING Fridays and Saturdays are typically booked together unless arranged ahead of time.
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE COAST Photos reflect a moment in time, but the Oregon Coast is always changing—sand levels, vegetation, and even how the beach looks can shift with the seasons and tides. That’s part of what makes this stretch of coastline so special.
ABOUT US This is our Oceanfront Cottage by The Houses On Manzanita Beach. This is our original, family beach house that we began renting in 1996. We have lots of expertise about the area, and are happy to help our guests enjoy their beach getaways even more. We offer insider knowledge and tips in Manzanita Beach Life.

Kim's property is beautiful inside and out with many thoughtful touches. The beach access is easy and we usually had it all to ourselves. It was a great place to spend time with family.
This is such a beautiful property! We had direct beach access just steps from the deck. We sat on the deck and watched the whales spout and breach the water. The home was clean and comfortable. It is pet friendly so I was concerned that it would smell a little and was very relieved that it didn’t. We spent a week there and would definitely do it again.
We loved our stay. The location was perfect, the beds were super comfy, and the house super cute, cozy and had everything we needed. Well connected and accommodating host. We will definitely be back!
Loved this property! The beach, mountains, fire pit, and privacy of the yard was just perfect! The house was beautiful and very comfortable! Staying here was a 10 out of 10!
Private, quiet, very well equipped Kitchen, views that are stunning! The beds are very comfortable. The home is a wonderful quiet place to soak up the sun And ocean. A few steps out the back door and you are on the beach!! Lovely sand beach… Very clean.The town is adorable and has everything we needed. Come here to heal and reset.Thank you to Kim for a great stay!!
Lovely clean house with high quality amenities and kitchen stuff and very comfy beds. Spectacular views and beach access. Our dog loved the huge grassy yard. Would definitely stay there again. We very much appreciated the host who promptly brought over a replacement microwave when the main one malfunctioned.
This amazing beach cottage is my favorite place in the world. Such a great location, very clean and nice and right on the beach. Will be going back again and again.
Really enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. Location was perfect and views out the windows were fantastic. The Cottage was very comfortable and provided a relaxing experience. Would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the outdoor deck, lawn and firepit area.
Quiet and private! Loved the view of the Pacific Ocean. Well equipped and everything was functional. Will be back!

Fantastic stay in Manzanita - house was great!!
Nice, clean, well stocked and best of all right on the beach! Our family loved the layout with master on separate side of house from other bedrooms. Mattresses very comfy, nicely updated furniture. We will be back!!
Our family of eight had a perfect time at this wonderful property. The neighborhood was quiet and the home was clean, fully equipped and there was enough space for everyone. We had been planning & looking forward to this family vacation for several months & it exceeded our expectations. We were at the beach everyday & enjoyed the town of Manzanita which was walking distance. A great find that we will rent again!
Comfortable beds, great fireplace. Good lamps for reading. Bring your slippers —the tile can be a little cold in the morning. It snowed during our stay but we were cozy inside. Will be back.
We LOVED staying at the cottage! It's so beautifully decorated and comfortable. The furthest thing from a generic rental. The location right on the beach was incredible! Loved having a fire in the firepit right on the dunes. My kids loved the bunk bed room. The beds were all so comfortable. The washer and dryer were brand new and super quick and efficient. Wish we could have stayed longer!
We enjoyed the cottage, the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen dining area was adequate for the 4 of us, we had a puzzle on one end of the kitchen table and dined on the other end. The family room was great, we could see the ocean from the couch which was really comfy to sit on too. Beach access is questionable, we just walked down the road a bit to gain access that we did not have to traverse over rocks to get down on the beach.

Hidden Gem
We found in this house a perfect place for our summer vacation at Manzanita. It has a great location, great views, lots if comfy charm, well outfitted for our needs, and plenty of parking to fit our boat. And it's located in a quiet secluded spot on the beach. The owners were amazingly quick in their communication and transaction was completed smoothly. I would recommend to my family and friends.

Welcome to your first summer vacation at our oceanfront vacation house! We're happy you enjoyed the house, and took advantage of the great fishing in the area. For those that don't come equipped for fishing, there are some great rental outfits in nearby Wheeler, or simply take advantage of the fresh fish on the local menus!
An atmospheric river didn't stop our group of 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 dogs from enjoying our stay at this tasteful cottage located on the north end of our favorite Oregon beach. We gathered around the fireplace in the cozy living room, watched the dramatic crashing waves just beyond the dunes from the large windows, and quickly pulled on our boots when the rain let up for walks on the beach. This is a special house rain or shine.
This is a pleasant nicely appointed beach cottage. The huge advantage is it is right on a beautiful beach with a very easy access trail from the back yard.
The host will send you check in and check out instructions via a link. My phone had difficulty pulling up the link so be sure you open it well in advance o you can contact her for details if you have an older model phone.

Charming and Relaxing
We had friends in town from halfway across the country, and this home was the perfect place to show them the Oregon coast. Despite less than favorable weather, we still had an unbelievable view of the ocean, and quick access to the beach when the rain let up. Everything in the home was in great working order, and the kitchen was amazing for cooking dinners in. This was a low-effort stay, which is why it deserves five stars. We would definitely return to this home.
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 15, 2020
Thank you for choosing our special spot to introduce your friends to the Oregon Coast. We think it's the best in the area, and we're thrilled we have so many guests returning and recommending it to their friends. We're hearing people appreciate the quiet spot, easy beach front access, and unparalleled views. Come back again soon!

Great beachfront property
My husband, 2 month old infant son and I stayed for a couple nights in October. The house is right on the beach, just a few steps away from the sand. The views from the living room and kitchen/dining area were great. The town was a little bit of walk on the beach side, however it was all flat and easy so it wasn't difficult. It is also less than a 5 minute drive into town if you needed something quickly. The floors in the house are all slate and the kitchen and baths were all updated nicely. We had a very nice stay.

You will have to return when your little one is a bit older. Our kids and their friends spent hours digging in the tiny beach stream just north of our house - it also distracted them from the ocean, and gave us parents a bit of a break while our kids were having fun! You will have to also try our other oceanside house, VRBO #442897. It is three short blocks to the main street of Manzanita, and an even shorter walk into town. Come back again and visit!
My wife and I brought our 3 dogs to enjoy the beach, and we were not disappointed. The property’s location was as described, right on the beach with private beach access. One thing that would be helpful is if there was some kind of marker on the beach to the trail—we both got lost a few times early on but figured it out by the weeks end. Several other folks got lost coming up our trail as well. Our dogs loved the wide beach and we all had a great time. Kitchen was lovely and well stocked, and the check in process was very easy. No complaints at all, the property had everything we could ask for.

Calm, excitement, togetherness, beauty all in one house!
The house is located in paradise! The view is fantastic, the serene sound of the ocean fills the air. The house has all of the amenities we have at home. The children had a great time running freely and playing in the sand all day long. We, the parents enjoyed it all from the wooden deck. The evenings were spend around the fire pit in comfortable lawn chairs making s'mores. The stores is only a little walk or bike away.

Everyone loves falling asleep to the gentle sound of the ocean waves. Plus s'mores! We also bring bikes to the beach and leave the car in the spacious driveway.

Darling house in AMAZING location!
You can sit on the large, new deck and have the ocean at your feet. Truly amazing location. Comfortable house, with two, nice king beds and a third bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. Two full bathrooms. Full ocean view from kitchen, dining, living room and two bedrooms. One level home great for those with walking difficulties. Manzanita is a nice beach town with great coffee shops, pizza place and a quiet, laid back feel. Parts of the home have recently been remodeled including new kitchen. We look forward to staying here again.

Thanks Judith. We're very happy you enjoyed the new kitchen, new bathrooms, new flooring throughout the house, new windows, huge oceanside deck ... the list goes on and on! We worked like mad with our many helpers to get the house ready in the time available between guests, and we are glad the hard work paid off. We've had lots of great feedback, especially regarding how the new windows really show off the wonderful beach and ocean views, and we're glad it helped make your stay more enjoyable. Come visit again!
About the host
Hosted by Kim Bergstrom
I'm Kim Bergstrom. My husband, Eric Bergstrom, and I have built on my father's dream of owning a beachfront house on the Oregon Coast. We now own three, and continue to grow! We purchased our family beach house from my father in 1996, and have thrived through sweat equity - most people think of us as rather crazy, but we've taken something we love to do and are making it our second chapter in life.
We enjoy taking properties with potential and great location, adding a facelift without removing the character, and introducing them to our expanding group of guests. Our latest endeavor is a turn of the century three story house which sleeps 20. We put a lot of thought and work into each house, and luckily have found guests who love the results. Like many of our guests we've come to know over the years, we hope you also come to think of this special house as your very own vacation home - without all the work!
Why they chose this property
This house is obviously special to us. I grew up spending summers searching through Manzanita tide pools, jumping waves, skinning my knees while learning to ride a bike, following my brothers and cousins into town to buy penny candy and comic books, hiking up Neahkahnie mountain, crowded around the Thanksgiving table with family and friends.
In 1984, Eric may have made the biggest mistake in his life when visiting the beach he asked me "What's there to do down here?" Two years later he had fixed up the house put in the lawn during the late spring rain and married me in the new grass next to the beach on a sunny August day.
When people ask me about the house my standard reply is it is charming and full of character. If you're looking for a new condo experience this isn't the right match. But if you're looking for a true coast experience, whether as a couple, a family, with a group a friends, or just yourself, this is definitely the place to relax and enjoy a truly wonderful get away.
What makes this property unique
Experience true oceanfront living in this Manzanita cottage set directly on the beach. Featuring two master bedrooms, panoramic views, and a private path to the sand, plus a fire pit and easy walk to town.
