The place was beautiful! It had everything we needed and was within walking distance to the beach. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The host was very responsive throughout our stay regardless of the hour ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall an amazing getaway for a family vacation.

This was a great house on a quiet cul-de-sac in Manzanita just outside the potential tsunami zone. Very well-stocked with kitchen and beach gear and had great kids games and toys. We booked at the last minute when we saw the rate listed as half-off, so the price felt reasonable, but would've been too much for us normally. We would definitely stay here again if we found another discounted rate.

Lovely property for our son and his 3 kids and grandma and grandpa. Easy access and close to everything

We had a great stay. Location was close to the beach and hiking trails. The home was comfortable. A great big couch to watch movies on. We were there during a cold spell and it took a bit to get thermostat to reach 72°. But there were plenty of blankets for lounging.

We had a hard time contacting someone to get in since the passcode to the door wasn't working. 45 mins later someone contacted us to give us a code to get a set of keys since the door code system wasn't working. 44 mins with 2 very young kids tired of being in the car and cold.... we even sent a message no reasponds. We were left with half a roll of paper towls for 2 familys and 3 kids. No back up. Had to call around to see who was open on Christmas.... not how i wanted to spend a part of my Christmas especially when we paid to have those kind of amenities available. All rentals we have ever stayed at gave us 1 back up roll. The 1 ply toilet paper was really annoying. We ended up using twice as much. Your not saving monry by giving guest the cheap tp. The heater in the master bedroom needs yo be fixed; loud buzzing after a few mins of heat blowing. Woke my daughter abd myself up a few times through the night.... Other than that the place was beautiful and clean. We appreciate the kid toys. Other than the hiccups we enjoyed our time.

This house was fantastic! Great for our big group with ample beach chairs and towels. We particularly loved how dog friendly it was :).

Nice house, lived up to pictures, good location close to town & beach - 20 minutes or so to walk to the beach, so driving might be necessary. Parking in town was easy to find (we stayed in December). Very clean unit! Cleaning team did a terrific job. \n\nA few things to note: aside from salt & pepper there are no other staples in the kitchen so bring everything including cooking oil, basic spices, etc. Management needs to do a walk-thru of the unit - burned out light bulbs in kitchen and bathroom, sofa table with screws ready to fall out, front burner on stove doesn't work, etc. We messaged the property management with a couple of concerns, but did not hear back during or after our stay, so low responsiveness level

Lovely and thoughtful vacation home at the coast!
