Manzanita Oceanview Retreat | Pet Friendly Stay

Thanks so much for the lovely review! We love that you enjoyed the short walk to our uncrowded beach and felt fully set up for the week. It was a joy hosting you—can’t wait to welcome you back for more sunsets and sea air

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you loved the house and kitchen, and even happier that the sun made an appearance for your stay. Having the beach just steps away makes it pretty special—we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Miguel, I'm thrilled you enjoyed the stunning location and found the e-bikes to be a great bonus! It’s always nice when unexpected perks enhance your stay. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!

Thank you for your kind words—we’re so glad the home was a perfect fit for your stay! We appreciate the note about the dishwasher. It’s in good working order but, like most dishwashers, it does prefer a quick rinse before loading. We’ll make sure to add a reminder in the house notes so expectations are clear. We’d love to host you again anytime!

Jeff, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the upstairs space, views, and deck—it really is a favorite spot for soaking in the atmosphere. We appreciate you highlighting both the design touches and the abundance of gear available; it’s wonderful to hear guests take advantage of all the extras. Your note about accessibility and the lower level is helpful, and we’ll make sure future guests know what to expect. We’re glad you had a great stay and would love to welcome you back anytime!

ChatGPT 5 You said: This guest booked and just sent a message after 1 night that they were leaving and the house didnt work for them. The house has very thorough pictures and an online matterport in the guidebook and the listing even has a room layout with dimensions. The guest reaches out and just says the house isnt for them bit then on the review bashes us for what clearly was them. The house has absolutely wonderful reviews and this is so unfair to do to our entire team that works so hard to make sure that every personal touch from the snack basket to the bath bombs is taken care of. Guests like this are of no value to anyone. So small and poorly located for the price. We stayed only 1 of our 3 nights. Left to get a better VRBO rental. Nothing about this home was comfortable for us. It just did not work for us ChatGPT said: Here’s a professional yet firm way you can respond publicly to that unfair review while protecting your reputation and honoring all the hard work of your team: Response to Guest Review: We are very sorry to hear this home was not the right fit for you. We take pride in providing thorough transparency—our listing includes a full Matterport 3D tour, a detailed floor plan with room dimensions, and over 40 photos to ensure guests know exactly what to expect before booking. Our team works hard to create a warm, welcoming stay for every guest—from stocking the coffee bar and snack basket to adding bath bombs and personal touches throughout the home.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the home and truly appreciate your compliments on the design and details—it means even more coming from someone with a professional eye.

Wow, it sounds like your trip to Neahkahnie Beach was a delightful adventure! I’m thrilled to hear that the home was so cozy and well-equipped—those little touches like the games and wood-burning stove really do make a difference. The heated bathroom floors must have been a real treat too! It’s great that you enjoyed the views and the overall charm of the place. It sounds like the lack of bedroom doors and the mirror in one bathroom were minor issues in an otherwise fantastic stay. It’s awesome to know that the service and communication from the owners were exceptional as well. I’m glad you had such a memorable experience and would consider returning!
