Truly the easiest and best vrbo experience I've ever had. The listing was straightforward and accurate and the house was so cozy and wonderful. Perfect for a girls trip weekend. We walked down to the beach every morning, and that was such a complete highlight. The house is obviously well taken care of and well loved. We would absolutely return!

This was our second stay at this home and it was even better than the first -- well appointed with plenty of kitchen tools, towels, bedding, toys, and games. Beds are very comfortable and the kids appreciated having sleeping mats so they could have a "sleepover" in the big bedroom. It's a quick walk to the beach and to town. This year we especially enjoyed walking to explore tide pools at the north end of the beach during low tide.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Gunderson

Host profile image
My partner Dave and I are both native to the Northwest and currently live in Portland. I am a Artist, Realtor and a Portland native, and Dave is a semi-retired commercial fisherman and marine electrician from Alaska.. so of course he loves the coast. We like to buy and fix up properties and have some other rentals in Portland, so it made sense to us to rent out our beach house to help cover the cost of owning a vacation home. Since we began to offer our home as a short-term rental in Manzanita, we have enjoyed the experience of sharing this little piece of Oregon paradise.

Why they chose this property

One of our favorite things about our beach home is the location. We love Manzanita. It isn't as touristy as many beach towns, but there are enough shops and restaurants to entertain us and everyone is friendly. The little grocery store in the middle of town seems to have everything and the Sand Dune pub often has excellent food and live music (and they let dogs come through to sit on the back deck). The open stretch of beach is amazing and protected from the wind and weather somewhat by nearby Neakahnie Mountain, but we still get enough wind to attract Kiteboarders on some afternoons. Speaking of mountains, the trailhead is only 5 minutes away and we enjoy hiking to the top for exercise and taking in the amazing view. We love to crab/fish in Nehalem Bay, bike/walk at the nearby state park or head 20 minutes North to watch the surfers at Oswald West State park and explore the caves. Another favorite past time is antique shopping in Wheeler just 10 minutes south, or collecting driftwood and mussels at Manahattan Beach wayside near Rockaway about 20 minutes south. We love the privacy and quiet our home offers too for the times we just want to hang out and relax. I don't think we've ever come here and not enjoyed ourselves.

What makes this property unique

With the warmth inside and set back in the trees, a few blocks from the beach, the storm can be raging and you'll feel safe and warm. With the bright decor you are uplifted, even on the gloomiest days. On sunny days you can catch rays on the private back deck and hardly know the wind is blowing or that nearby neighbors even exist. It is a second home for us, not just a vacation rental and we think this feeling of 'home' will shine through, from the decor to the books, games, kids toys and well stocked kitchen, you'll have everything you need to snuggle in and feel comfortable.
