Gorgeous Oak & Cedar House 1/2 Block from Manzanita Beach!

Perfect spot, beautiful space, everything needed to relax and unwind!

We loved the location of this house, right next to a beach trail that we used often for long walks. The size of the house was also just right for our family and dog. Visited the shops in Manzanita and enjoyed the local flavor. Thank you for a wonderful get-away!

Beach day beautiful and so close for walking and then a great soak in the hot tub.

We loved the proximity to the beach while feeling tucked away in the woods. The stain glass features and the vaulted ceilings bring such character to the home.

The hot tub was a perfect touch, especially in September with temps in the 50's and 60's in the evening. The beds win the day, however - that was the hardest thing to leave. :) We loved having such a well stocked kitchen plus the grill. It was put to good use. The dining room table became our evening gathering place after the kids were asleep.

We enjoyed several walks to town and my husband enjoyed the 9 hole course up the street as well.

Overall, fantastic stay!

Property is as described from prior reviews, small, older, but excellent location.

THE HOUSE:

House is well stocked with cooking gear, again, not the most organized or fanciest, but ample supplies. House was also well stocked with plenty of blankets and sheets, and I did not have any issues with the towels having a mildew or moldy small as a prior reviewer commented. The lighting is minimal at night, so prepare to whip out your reading glasses and bring any additional lighting (head lamp?) . No TV, which was fine by our family, and the wifi albeit spotty, was able to stream a video without too many glitches. Big bonus, in my opinion, tons of games (Life Star Wars, Harry Potter Trivia!) and puzzles. The hot tub was amazing and huge, no temperature issues. No area for a firepit, but who needs a fire pit when you have a giant hot tub. Note 1: house did come with a life jacket for 2 and under. Note 2: No fans, ceiling or portable, owner mentioned he may add later on.

THE LOCATION:

This was our first time staying in Manzanita, and we adored the smaller town charm relative to Cannon Beach and Seaside. 1 mile easy flat walk to "downtown", lovely summer Friday Farmer's Markets, and the Pastry shop. Beach access was just as easy, about a 3 minute walk to the entrance of the beach, and another 5 minute walk to get down the the water. Not super steep, but did have a workout hauling all the beach gear.

THE BEACH

We visited on Labor Day, and the beach was not over-crowded at any time. Lots of families, kite/wake surfers, dogs, kites, horses, the typical Coast scene, but very calm and not hectic. Also, not many fires at the beach, so we were not having to skirt a lot of beach firepit debris in the morning.

OVERALL

Highly recommend, this house has fantastic value. Owner was very prompt replying to any questions, and the house has amazing charm.
