Wonderful birthday weekend in Manzanita!

The house was so nice! The beds have the most comfortable mattresses. The house and yard were so sweet to stay in. I highly recommend this house for your next trip to the coast! We also loved all the whales!

Manzanita beach rental

Great house. Well stocked, clean and comfortable. Close to downtown and short walk to beach. The door locks are confusing, but once solved we had a great time. Beautiful private back yard.

Dog Friendly House

We enjoyed our stay. It was nice having a fully fence patio/yard to let the dog out in the mornings and while we ate dinner on the deck. House was in easy walking distance to beach and village.

Perfect beach spot

Lovely house! The location is great with easy access to town and the beach. It was a little cold to make use of the patio, but we made use of the gas fireplace after our walks on the beach.

We spent another wonderful time at the Gray Whale Cove! Not only were we so impressed with the garden, but how clean and well appointed the property is. Such a lovely environment and great location, I barely used my car all week. Looking forward to returning with my dog in the future.

Nice Beach House

This is the second year that I've stayed in this home and found it to be very comfortable. Love the backyard and all the flowers. The kitchen is well appointed and there was never anything that we needed that wasn't found in the home.

Grey Whale Cove is a Gem

Immaculate home with high quality furnishings, beds and linens. So cozy, comfy, and light. Fun art. Shampoo, soaps, conditioner, and shower gel provided. Very well stocked kitchen. The back yard was lovely with bright accents, beautiful flowers and cheerful umbrellas. Walk to town and beach. Note to foodies- half of the town’s Restaurants were closed on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. A great get away for us and our small hypoallergenic dog.

Perfect family retreat

The house was super cute and had everything we could want for a nice relaxing time at the beach for a family of four. Safe for 2 kids under 3 years old. They loved it! The only negative was the master bedroom pillows smelled like wet dog but that's an easy fix - just need replaced. Would definitely stay here again.
