Our family’s first time to Manzanita- I chose this location for the proximity to town and beach and it was awesome for both. It feels much larger in person and we definitely didn’t need all the room but appreciated it anyway and know we could rebook with more ppl, no problem. Teen boys loved having their own rooms. One direction, it’s less than a block to the main street, Laneda. May even be able to see candy and toy store from driveway! Other direction you can stroll a short 2-3 blocks through a lovely forested neighborhood to the beach, rather than down Laneda. House was clean and had high-end appliances and multiple amenities. We especially loved the beds, pillows, ceiling fans, shower pressure, fenced yard, immaculate gas grill, window screens, food pantry, open concept, filtered water inside of fridge, outside hose for sandy feet and paws, use of the spotless garage, there’s even a doggy door for our pup - really the list could go on and on. If I had to nitpick anything, I would say the sectional could probably use replacing soon. It’s super comfy for lounging but sometimes hard to get out of. Check out process was easy. We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and this is definitely near the top! Management company communicated clearly by email and was available for issues if needed, but otherwise just let us be. Exceptional experience!
