The vision of the 3ONE8 remodel (interior layout designed by TVA Architects of Portland, OR) was to create a hip and fresh place for our rental guests, family and friends to enjoy in our favorite coastal town, Manzanita. We stayed at probably 20 different short term Manzanita rentals in 'the pool' over the years. It's a crap shoot out there. It's hard to find either brand new structures or remodels and how did the remodels turn out and what kind of furnishings are you experiencing? No oak furniture, no seagull art work or brass lighting. I love my great aunt but I wouldn't put her in charge of decorating my vacation home - and that's what we see in a lot of the rental choices out there today.

Why Manzanita? Cannon Beach is popular with a great beach - and it has a lot a big hotels, some chain restaurants and businesses and not very quaint. Manzanita is just 12 miles south and is considered more of a quaint village that's less crowded yet featuring full amenities found on Laneda Avenue including; boutique shops, restaurants, coffee houses, grocery stores, spas, cafes, wine bars and more - all locally owned and operated. Where Laneda Ave. meets the ocean is an uninterrupted, dog friendly seven mile beach with awesome views of Neahkahnie Mountain to the north. Once you park your car at 3ONE8 Manzanita - everything is walkable! Other towns: Seaside, OR is great if you like strip malls, Rockaway Beach is terrific if you like kitchsky shops on busy Highway 101 and Arch Cape is quaint but lacks any type of services. Manzanita has much more of a chill vibe - more of a locals spot with less people and crowds - yet with full services. Of course we're biased - but we did our research over 20 years ago! We visited every coastal town from Astoria down to Newport over a five year period - and liked Manzanita the best for its charm, beauty, size, services, proximity to PDX and overall vibe and feel.
