  Stayed 2 nights in July 09 and had a great time. Right down the street from the golf course and virtually on the beach. The property manager was extremely helpful and friendly.

  This house has a lovely deck with a beautiful view! The house was clean and comfortable and when we had just a couple minor issues, the property manager came out within 30 minutes of my email. We'll definitely be back!

  This was our 3rd stay at Almost Heaven. Some comments I'd like to make which don't affect the overall satisfaction of our stay. I do think the bed linens and towels need to be updated. This would be a fairly cheap investment. One of the washcloths looked as though it had been used for washing the floor! Otherwise as noted on the comment card left in the house we were very happy with our stay and love the neighbourhood.

  The only drawback was the pillows were bad and it needed a bathroom fan, Otherwise, a very nice place, with a nice view in a nice, quit neighborhood.

  a guest from Bainbridge Island, WA recommends this vacation rental

  Loved the location! The property was adequate and certainly met our needs. We found it very comfortable, with everything we needed. My only suggestion - and I do realize it's a beach house and probably not worth the investment to the owners - would be
  a cosmetic update to the bathroom and kitchen, bathroom particularly. The rest was great! Loved the large deck with the view of the ocean and the wonderful path to the beach. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this property. This is our
  fourth place to stay in Manzanita and is now our favorite - despite the older, 70s bathroom and kitchen!

  Beautiful location, quiet, serene, far enough from town, yet close enough to beach. My only suggestion is that the property would really benefit from a dew minor upgrades - most important, a blind or curtain on the sliding glass door. Next, replace the refrigerator, or at least paint the front. It's looking more shabby since we stayed here last summer. But the place is clean with comfortable bed and good living room furniture. Bathroom is dated and would also benefit hugely from a minor upgrade.

  This was our second stay in Almost Heaven. We love the property! The bathroom is a bit tired and thus seems a little grubby, but could easily be spiffed up with a new toilet (slow to flush) and sink/cabinet. Wonderful view, comfortable furnishings! We love relaxing on the deck and looking at the ocean. Kitchen has everything we needed. Washer and dryer are newer and work great (neccessary at the beach!) A heat stove is great for chilly evenings. We plan to return next year!

  This was our 3rd stay at Almost Heaven. We really enjoy the house and its beautiful view. On the comment card, I left a few suggestions for the owners, primarily about the aging bathroom. The house's layout is perfect for us, a family of 3 with occasional visits from my sister. There is plenty of room for everyone. Another bathroom would make it perfect but it's not essential in a beach house. The family/living/dining room area with beach-view deck is what makes this house special. We love it!

  We love the peace and quiet of Almost Heaven, located in a pretty area near the beach and within a short walk of downtown Manzanita. The property is older and not in perfect condition, but is clean, attractive, and very comfortable. Overlooking the ocean
  from a distance, the deck is great for morning coffee and evenings with friends. On evenings when it's really chilly, the heatstove is much appreciated. The house is supplied with all neccessary amenities. We love it!

  Joseph Z from McLean, VA recommends this vacation rental

  Almost Heaven was very clean and comfortable. It does need a new dishwasher and vacume cleaner. I couldn't get the vacume to work at all. Maybe I wasn't operating it properly.
  
  We liked Seabreeze much better with the deck overlooking the sea. The appliances were newer and better functioning.
  
  To be honest Seabreeze was cleaner when we left than when we arrived. There was a lot of hair all over the floors. Not a really big deal, but the cleaners should be told.
  
  All in all a great two weeks and I will come back.
  
  Thanks,

  Martha C from Sand Coulee, MT recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful, idyllic, peaceful vacation in Manzanita Beach. The location could not have been more perfect. The neighborhood was quiet, the ocean was within walking distance, and the accommodations gave us the sense that we were visiting out second home. I have rarely had a more relaxing and restoring vacation. I only wish Montana were a bit closer to the Oregon coast. We definitely plan to repeat.

• Almost Heaven is a very comfortable home to stay in. They have everything that you may need. It has a little view of the beach, which is great to look at on a stormy day from the warm livingroom next to the woodstove.

  Art I from Spokane Valley, WA recommends this vacation rental

  Good location, nice view of the ocean from the dining area and deck. The place was very clean, and well furnished although in need of a kitchen update. Everything worked though and the beds were comfortable enough. It is a small place but big enough for a couple and one teenager (or two small children). I will be recommending this place to friends and family.

•  

• Great Manzanita location with a wonderful ocean view. Just up the hill from the beach. Comfortable and well appointed with one exception: Could use a new mattress. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.

  Connie S W from Boise, Idaho recommends this vacation rental

  
  The house was not in the most ideal location for us as we love to walk everywhere when we are there. It was a long walk to the store and to downtown, and the sandy hill to the beach was a killer to walk up---going down was not bad except when wearing tennis shoes--and the sand got really hot during those hotter afternoons. A better beach access would be nice.
  
  
  The home was in pretty good shape. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck!! That was our favorite place to be---needed a table out there, though. The bathroom and kitchen areas were the most disappointing. The kitchen had most of the "basics" for cooking, but for people like us that like to cook most of our meals, we found it a little sparse.

  Loved our stay at Almost Heaven! Location is great. It's downhill to the beach and to town, uphill on the way back but we enjoyed the hike and it only took 10 minutes. The home is comfortable, easy to relax in. The deck was a lovely place to sit with a
  glass of wine and look out to the ocean. We plan to call again!

  We took our grandchildren and adult child with us to Manzanita for our first beach vacation in years. The house was better and more spacious than the photos had suggested. The Sunset Rental staff was wonderful--as I quickly learned when I inadvertently locked us out of the house! She arrived in just a few minutes to rescue us. The only drawbacks were having just one bathroom (with a teenage girl!) and the steep walk to the beach, as I had a broken bone in my foot. We easily resolved that by driving down. We enjoyed the house's deck with great view, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room for us all.

  This was the first time we've stayed in a house vacation rental. In the past we stayed at the Hallmark Inn, at Cannon Beach. We liked the lower price and the location of the house. The town was really cute. We loved sitting on the deck and looking at the partial ocean view that we had. The living room was nice with the large windows. It was very close to both Cannon Beach and Sea Side Beach. The bathroom was old and the floor was a little dirty. When we stripped the sheets on the back bedroom bed it had sand on the plastic cover over the mattress. It would have been nice to have the t.v. and bathroom updated. Other then that - it was nice.

  Kathleen G from Seattle, WA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We loved the ocean view fom the deck and dining room, and the living room view was of the peaceful forest.
  The property was sufficient for a family plus or two couples and families. It was too large of space for two.
  
  The property was outdated in decor which we don't mind but there were dirty stains on carpet in living room, no coffee maker, we called the management company that night & were told one was to delievered, we picked one up at the office the next day. The gas grill non-functioning,dissappointing when it takes 40 minutes to cook 3 hambergers. The backyard overgrown w/ weeds. We were surprised when we took the plastic bath mat from under the bathroom sink to put in the tub, it was full of water & so was our stuff.

• Great place to stay. Fan in bathroom doesn't work. Other than that, everything was perfect. Beautiful view and location. Betty is always wonderful

  Enjoyed our few days in Manzanita which is much less crowded and has a less commercial feel to it than Cannon Beach. The house was well equipped and convenient enough for the beach (down a steepish hill) and the town. Very light and airy living room.
