We thoroughly enjoyed our five-day stay in Manzanita at The Waves House. The four-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom home (with connected casita) was exactly as advertised, open and spacious living space, immaculately clean, well-equipped kitchen, and perfectly located on the beach within easy walking distance to the quaint town of restaurants, shops and cultural activities. The owner was great to work with in advance of our stay and the house has a BBQ grill, bikes, beach chairs, wagon and beach toys and various games. We enjoyed the hot tub and sunsets from the Adirondack chairs on the large deck overlooking the dunes and Pacific and even woke up to a herd of Elk walking through the sand dunes one morning.Manzanita, the town and location were perfect in offering many things to do but also being smaller than some of the busier and more congested coastal communities. There are miles of beautiful beaches and views, hiking trails and walkable grocery shopping, restaurants and shops. The Oregon Coastal Scenic Railway and Tillamook Creamery were great excursions nearby, and we enjoyed fresh crab from Kelly’s Brighton Marina just 15 minutes away.We are already planning our next stay and highly recommend The Waves House in Manzanita.
