A dream reunion

Far flung family came together at this wonderful property. Everything you need for all the ages and stages. The kitchens were godsends, the place was spotless, there were abundant towels. Some of the rooms are arranged like Jack-and-Jills: 2 bedrooms (one queen, one w 2 twins) with a shared bathroom between them. Perfect for wee families! The primary suite is dreamy. And there is a large eating room off the kitchen so all 19 of us could eat. Only drawback to the property at allllll was the proximity of the highway. Would NOT stop me renting again or recommending 💖

The Family Loves This Place!

We spent almost a week vacationing in this interesting, historical property. We had 20 family members staying here and never felt crowded. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basics that we needed. The beds were comfy. The kids (and even some adults) had a blast playing night games on the huge lawn almost every night. The ping pong table was also a hit with the kids. I woke up to the sight of 3 deer grazing in the yard one morning, it was beautiful. If we are ever back in this area we would definitely like to stay here again.

Awesome property!

We stayed August 4-8 and loved everything about the property. The owner had the home we’ll stocked with everything we needed and the outdoors were perfect for games and just hanging out. All guests had their own bedroom and there were thoughtful upgrades that did not take away from the rustic feel of a schoolhouse, right down to the room numbers above the classrooms (bedrooms). My only complaint is the water pressure but still met our needs. This property is highly recommended for families!

Perfect family reunion venue

Our stay at the Manzanita Schoolhouse was magical. We easily accommodated 20 of us -- comfortable open spaces with lots of places for conversations, games, laughter. The property was immaculate. Jon was gracious and positive in our text exchanges and solved a minor problem super-quickly. It was just a perfect stay, and we are already talking about the next time we will stay here. 20 pairs of thumbs-up for the Manzanita Schoolhouse!

Family Reunion

Our family of twenty, ages 2 to 77 years met at the Manzanita Schoolhouse for a long awaited reunion. We were delighted to find that each family had comfortable, private bedrooms and baths. The gathering areas accommodated our varying ages and interests; kitchen and dining rooms were well stocked and allowed us to prepare meals and dine together. The outdoor space was a wonderful place for grilling, playing games and visiting. The location is close to the beach and town; however it is necessary to cross the highway requiring caution. We highly recommend the Manzanita Schoolhouse.
