The Houses On Manzanita Beach Ocean Rd, Manzanita

Warning: You may not want to return to your own home after staying in one of Kim's houses! Everything is spotlessly clean, beautiful, comfortable (especially the beds), and right on the beach! Manzanita has a lot to offer for a small town -- great restaurants, an excellent bookstore, an interesting boutique, and several cafes with good coffee. The Reed House easily accommodates large groups, as it has two dishwashers, spacious open areas, a big deck, and two refrigerators. Consider yourself lucky if you manage to find an opening in any of these houses!

I gotta admit I’ve stayed at some ok places during this family trip but this place had them all beat. You can’t find a better location on the Oregon coast. It’s right on the beach and the feeling of privacy and quiet along with the view makes it a great deal. We’ll be coming back and we’ll tell friends and family about it. Service was really quick and responsive at all hours. Transaction was a piece of cake. Employees were all nice and helpful. Even the landscapers. House was also good and I had the best sleep. I’m usually a restless sleeper. I would say they’re taking this coronavirus thing seriously. There’s a list of what they’re doing sent to you and a questionnaire that’s mandatory. Maybe a bit too far as they would not allow an early check in based on their guidelines. That was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise this was a great vacation. We are discussing our next trip here. We stayed at the cottage but are thinking of one of their larger houses for a bigger family vacation.

We take our work crew here every year and it's always great! The space is fantastic, there's plenty of bed and bath space, places to get away from the crowd when needed, an easy walk to the center of town and it's as close to the beach as you get in Manzanita. The kitchen is well laid out and the dining room table is expandable up to 16ish seats. Always enjoyable any time of year!

Our stay at their vacation house was all we could have wished for. Great location with views that were incredible. Within walking distance to places to eat and shop. Things to do for everything were close by. The house was furnished beautifully and supplied with everything we needed and more. So comfortable. And not at all cliche beach decor. Comfortable yet extremely well done. Everyone was very pleased. Owner was fantastic to work with. We so much appreciated prompt replies, clear communication, and smooth procedures. Not at all what we've experienced in the past with other local management companies or rental owners. We're planning on making this a yearly trip. Highly recommend.

We came back for our fourth visit. It’s now our home away from home. If you haven’t visited Manzanita you’re missing something wonderful. It’s much better than Cannon Beach or Rockaway. But that’s just my opinion. I LOVED this Manzanita rental house! We stayed at the modern cabin although all of the houses looked intriguing. They are styled with interesting things and look like ehat you’d find in a decorating magazine. The modern cabin had cedar log walls, but were smooth not rustic. It blended very well with the modern touches. The rock wood burning fireplace was the perfect spot to curl up and watch the waves out the window. I can imagine the deck would be the place to be during better weather. The house was clean and tidy. Our requests were answered right away. We locked ourselves out without the door combination plus we pushed the wrong button, and a nice gentleman cane right away to give us the combination and make sure we got in. The Beach was only a couple feet away and the walk to businesses was about two blocks. We enjoyed walking to the coffee shop in the morning then stopping at Bread and Ocesn for warm cinnamon rolls. We wanted to try the new breakfast place Yolk but the weekend line was long. It’s in the former Blackbird restaurant location. We spent an afternoon boating and crabbing on the Nehalem Bay at the suggestion of the Houses manager and had a blast. It was at a Kelly’s Marina. We’ll be coming back again to stay at one of their houses. My husband and I were hoping for a romantic getaway at their smaller two bedroom oceanfront house. We’re also looking at a summer stay. That would be heaven.

This was a great house for our family reunion. It was much better then the average homogenous anywhere house that has no character. We learned this is one of the first (existing) houses on Manzanita beach. It is apparently 100 years old, but the owner remodeled the house, took it down to the studs, kept all the wonderful original fir and other architectural details, upgraded plumbing, electrical insulation, put in a new heat pump system, new double pain windows, then replaced all the existing original details that make this house the perfect beach house. We especially love the big kitchen (my wife is a semi-professional cook and enjoyed it immensely) but the kitchen held many of us, so when we were trying to help we didn't get in each other's way. There were lots of separate spaces to hang out so the kids didn't feel they had to spend the whole vacation with old people. They were usually found playing pool or ping pong, or hanging out watching whatever on the big screen tv downstairs. The older generation appreciated having the great room (with great ocean view) mainly to themselves. We also appreciated the huge dining table where we could all gather together. We have yet to find a house that seated so many of us for dinner. Later, we would clear the table and play games or cards at the table, all while overlooking the big ocean view. Or we would sit out on the deck and enjoy BBQ, or the crab we caught earlier (try Kelly's Marina. We all loved it). All the rooms were well situated for our group, especially the two bunk rooms, one for the girls and one for the guys. The five bathrooms meant we didn't have lines for the bathrooms, since there are seven bedrooms. Although we had to draw straws for the masterbedroom with private bath and an area to sit and work. With a great view of course. Evenings were spent either on the beach or around the firepit eating s'mores. Always a must. Kids enjoyed biking at the local state park. Adults loved being able to let the kids run free in Manzanita. A place we all love. We are already planning next year's family trip here, and plan to make it our annual family get together house.

We had a marvillous time! We had two families with six kids. The children had so much fun! Being right in front of the beach made it easy for the kids to play and explore as much as they wanted, and we could always check on them from the house. The house fit are taste to a tea. We loved the rustic look with the modern feel. Our family friends were impressed by the whole vacation experience. Loved it!

We stayed at the Oceanfront Cottage on Manzanita beach as part of our honeymoon trip and we could not have asked for anything better. It was quiet, cute and charming and the beach and cove directly in front of the house seemed like our very own paradise. In our opinion it was at the better end of Manzanita beach. There were less people, we didn't have to wade through beach grass, and it was at the base of Mt. Neahkahnie which made the views even better. Manzanita beach is a beautiful place and is close to so many wonderful things to do. There are state parks surrounding Manzanita for fun easy hiking or beach combing, shops, restaurants, tennis courts (public - ok), a 9 hole golf course (charming but not challenging), and yoga studio too. And spa. Of course, several good coffee shops. And a wonderful bakery too. We absolutely loved this place and intend to tell all of our friends back home about it and it was made even better with the help of the managers of The Houses On Manzanita Beach, and one cleaner named Connie was such a sweetie and recommended so many good tips. I'd definitely recommend, and we intend to come back again.

I have loved my stays at the Houses on Manzanita Beach. I've stayed in 2 of the 3 places and have so many fond memories. I love the one that's furthest north as that's got a lot of privacy and easy access to the beach. I hope to return soon!

One of the best getaways for our family to soak up the beach vibes and not worry about going anywhere else or doing anything outside of relaxing. It was an easy drop and lay low kinda getaway. All of the amenities we could have needed were in the house and all we had to think about was getting food to eat. Amazing location, very clean rental with nice linens, mattresses etc.
