BELLA MAR

Our family really enjoyed Bella Mar! The house was big enough for our crew of three adults and five kids ages 10-15yrs. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals and the dining table was large enough for all of us to sit around to eat and play games. The living room was very comfy for watching movies. The beds were very comfortable and the kids enjoyed sleeping in and lounging in their beds reading. The house was very quiet and private, which we enjoyed. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for grandma, who greatly enjoyed the sitting chair for her morning reading. Our dog loved it too. We appreciated the house was clean, but well worn in. Lastly it was a short walk to the beach, which we all visited several times daily. Great stay all around! Thanks!

We LOVED this house and location. We've never been able to find a house with a spacious hot tub and it completely saved our vacation. The house is super cozy and family friendly. We will be staying here again! We loved that we could walk to the beach from here!

We only had a couple days to enjoy this home but it was a great stay! House was equipped with everything you need to cook a big meal! Beds are super comfortable! Only a couple blocks from beach made it a great stay!

While the weather was unusually cold and stormy, the inside of this home was more than comfortable and accommodating. We built a cozy fire everyday and everyone worked on the hardest puzzle possible enjoying multigenerational family time. There were many opportunities for hot tub conversations, windy walks on the beach and bike rides to the nearby state parks when the skies allowed which was often. The kitchen was adequately supplied to fix meals for 8 people and we enjoyed sit down dinners each night around the ample table. My grandchildren LOVED this house and their parents too. We give it a full thumbs up!!!

I needed to get out of the city and decompress - this was the perfect little cottage! I love the wood-burning fireplace in the kitchen and backyard area. I was there to enjoy some time at the beach but also needed to work, and thankfully the wifi was perfect! I think a few things could be upgraded and fixed, but that's my preference and didn't take too much away from my stay. I would stay again!

Such a wonderful house. And the back deck was even better than described!

House is spacious, could accommodate adult children, dogs. Kitchen is very well equipped.
Easy access to the beach, in a quiet neighborhood.

Great accommodation for a multi-generational family vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bella Mar house. It was large enough for our extended family and a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed a family poker tournament at the large dinning room table.

It was truly Relaxing, fully equipped and there was a lovely ambience. Everything was in working order. The property was in a great location close to the ocean and far enough from down town to truly feel like we were away from the bustle of Portland.

Had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in this wonderful home. Met all our expectations and would go back again. Master bedroom has very comfortable bed! Loved the hot tub

The house was lovely and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped, Considering the weather we were very happy to have the hot tub and the fireplace. I would change the log holder in the fireplace to sit lower so you can build up a bed of coals. Loved the cozy living room and bedrooms.

Everything you need! Close walk to the beach. Hot Tub. Kitchen that has everything you need (bonus points for the coffee grinder!). Cozy fireplace. Comfortable beds. Absolutely no complaints!

Very comfortable home.
Good vibe

The house was perfect for our family. We will definitely rent this place again

We just got home from a weeklong stay at Bella Mar and couldn't be happier with how it went. We chose this property because of its size and cost--within our budget and big enough for our family. The house is absolutely lovely and well appointed. Plenty of room for the six of us, and lots of space for hanging out. The beds are comfortable and bathrooms are incredibly nice. And best of all was the hot tub--we used it every night after a day at the beach. It's about a two block walk down to the water, and the beach was perfect every day. Finally, it was SO quiet on the street and surrounding area, which we all appreciated. Everyone at Sunset was pleasant, welcoming, and patient. We loved Bella Mar and would reserve it again in a heartbeat. Looking forward to our vacation here in summers to come! Thank you Sunset!

House provided what we needed to make our family time together go well. Location was perfect in proximity to state park, beach, and downtown. The house is cozy.

We were 7 people, and we were going to be 8 which would have been accommodated beautifully. Great sitting areas, lots of space, wonderful hot tub that was hot when we arrived!! The kitchen was terrific, one of the best of any beach house I've ever stayed in. The owners obviously cook! We cooked all weekend and lacked no common shelf-stable ingredient or tool/pan. The Netflix on the tv was a nice touch too.

A bluetooth speaker to connect to would be cool but at any rate next time we'll just bring a little portable one.

We were delighted with the house. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was so well stocked with equipment for meal prep, the hot tub was great to have and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that could have been better would be to have a view of the ocean from the house.

The house had good spaces for a multi-family gathering. The large deck and super-sized outdoor table and the hot tub were highlights. The setting was peaceful and like being in the woods, with birdsong adding to the ambience. The beach was nearby, as were paved trails from town to Nehalem Bay State Park. The house was comfortable, clean, and well-provided with kitchen needs and towels. Walking to town was much closer than we thought it would be.

Great house.

We stayed here in July with five adults and three children and a baby and it was perfect! Great location- our kids happily bikes to town and the beach was only a short walk away.

This house was fantastic. Though it was only my husband and I (and our pooch), this house would be perfect for a large gathering. The hot tub was sparkling clean (which isn't always the case) and the house in general was in pretty good shape for a rental. Nice big hang out porch and very close to both the beach and town.

We were looking for a getaway with friends visiting from Germany and our adult children. The house is delightful, it has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds; all doubles or larger and extra singles in two of the rooms so it easily accommodates 8 adults and two children if needed. The owners have furnished it comfortably, it feels like a home and is very welcoming and relaxing to be in. Outside there is a large patio with grill and a dining table and a hot tub, it's very private although next to the road we were not bothered by traffic noise at all, the garden is well screened by fencing and foliage
Just two blocks from the beach, we enjoyed walking there and had a fire on the beach on our last night. A perfect end to a perfect stay. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bella Mar to others and would love to come back again. The bonus for us is that our son announced that he had asked his girlfriend to marry him( she said yes) so Bella Mar will always hold a special memory for all of us!
Thank you.

The house is beautiful and extremely well kept, with high-quality furniture and appliances. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has all the amenities you could possibly need. Our family loved the easy walk to the beach, the quick drive into cute Manzanita (its certainly walkable, but we were feeling lazy!) and then relaxing in the living room with a cup of tea and the many games and puzzles provided. It is a truly lovely homea bit of paradise just a couple of blocks off the stunning Oregon coast. We highly recommend this rental!

This is a very nice home that is well furnished and very comfortable. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 have king beds. It is a short walk to the beach from the house and a short drive to the main street in town. We would definitely rent this home again.

We had an excellent time. The house is located on a corner which worked well for us to park our truck's fishing boats. The hot tub was beautiful and the kitchen is fully stocked. The bedrooms worked out perfect for our families. The walk to the beach was close and being next to the park entrance gave access to the all the running trails. It was a short drive from Down Town Manzanita and we had kids from 1 to 16 and everyone was happy!

We had 10 family members come together at the beach from Montana, Oregon and Washington. We really enjoyed our week stay together! The kitchen and dining area was awesome for our group to be together at meals and family game night! Our only two complaints would be not enough hot water for showers and dishes...we had to take REALLY quick showers and only a few people could shower in the morning, then we would run out of hot water. Same thing at night when we did hot water. Plus I wish they would of left hot tub tablets for us to put in the hot tub in the middle of our week stay to help with the cloudy water and a net to clean out the pine needles!

We spent a week here with our three young adult children and their partners, with great success. The house was large enough for all of us, and we loved having a hot tub. It's a quick walk to the beach and the state park, easy to get into town, and very quiet. The only thing we might have wanted was better outdoor seating for relaxing - but we still had a great time. The place was clean and the staff were cheerful and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and there were ample supplies for cooking and serving our meals.

Great time with my family. We were celebrating my grandsons 8th birthday and my 54th!Great t have 2 1/2 baths and plenty of room for all. The hot tub was great aong with having a bar be que as well.

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Mar. You can really tell how much the owners love their home. It is comfortably furnished and has a well stocked kitchen. A great respite from the hustle and bustle of city life in Seattle. It is also a very short walk to the beach which is great. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Blackbird and would highly recommend that restaurant to anyone who is visiting. The only nitpicks we had were that the home smelled strongly of bacon upon arrival and needed a lot of airing out. We also noticed that the ice maker had overflowed into the freezer quite a bit and had to be emptied out. Overall a wonderful stay and our second time at this lovely home.

The house was nice and clean. The bedrooms (except the master bedroom) are really small and have too much furniture in them. I suppose the extra twin beds in the rooms would allow more people to stay, but we did not need them.We enjoyed the spacious areas for family gathering. The kitchen was well-equipped. We did bring our grandchildren and a dog and it would have been nice to have the yard fenced. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of linens and towels. The deck was great.

Manager's Response

This lovely home was well-appointed and casually elegant. It was very peaceful - away from the crowds and traffic in Manzanita but still conveniently close to everything. The beds and couches were super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. Only thing missing was a sound system.

Manager's Response

Great rental company to work with. The house was great, with many places to sleep, an awesome backyard deck & hot tub. Beds were comfortable. Missing some vital cooking utensils like measuring cups & spoons for baking. Hot tub cover was broken and hard to put on and remove. Would be nice to have some throw blankets for those rainy coastal days. Also, would be nice if back yard was fully fenced for dogs.

Manager's Response

Overall, it was a good experience again. The weather didn't cooperate as well this year but even the storm was beautiful. The town seems to be slowly recovering after the tornado but the damage is still extensive.

Manager's Response

We stayed for my boyfriends birthday! The house was warm and welcoming and fully supplied for us when we got there. We really enjoyed the double sided fireplace, the two block walk to the beach and the fact that we could all cook together in the big kitchen! The rooms were very cozy as were the living spaces. I definitely recommend this house.

We had a wonderful two weeks with our extended family at Manzanita Beach in Bella Mar. The house was open and well appointed. The back deck was private and fun for outdoor living. The beds were comfortable and the the kitchen was fully equipped to prepare and serve meals for our entire family. There was plenty of parking and a short walk to the beach as well as the State Park.

We had a great time with friends staying at Bella Mar. The house was clean and comfortable for all and a great walk to the beach or town. Our sunny winter days at the coast will be remembered fondly for a long time.

We stayed at Bella Mar during a family reunion, for the grandparents's get away and found the home utterly charming, functional and clean. Since one of our members was 90 years old, the bedroom downstairs came in very handy. The house is very private and the street extremely quiet. We slept with the windows open and didn't hear a thing until the seagulls woke us up in the morning. We loved it!

I liked it. The house is less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and 20 minute walk to town. Very nice home with all the kitchen equipment you need, a great hot tub and lot's of room and a nice back patio. Nice overstuffed coaches in the living room and very big dining room table.

Great location, nice house but needs some maintenance. Great landscaping, very beautiful and inviting.

A great time was had by all. The accommodations were fantastic as everyone had their own space for peace and quiet but yet big enough so that all members could gather and interact with one another.

This is a lovely house to stay in to make real connections with your friends or family. There is a big kitchen- totally stocked, great dinner table, and living room all set for people to spend some real time with each other.

The beach is a 10 min walk- fairly easy to get to, and the town is 10 minutes away as well so you aren't bothered by a lot of tourists.

We had a great time. The house had everything we needed to make it a great stay. It was two blocks from the beach- easy enough for our 6 and 4 year olds to walk. I'd recommend it if you intend on spending your time indoors or away from the house. The exterior of the home leaves a little to be desired as the back yard is shaded, paved and only worth using for being in the hot tub. The front is a dirt road and the sides are immediately next door to another home while the other side is adjacent to a busy arterial.

This is a great house in Manzanita. The house sleeps 10 people in 3 queen beds, 1 full, and 2 twins. The beds aren't all the most comfortable but they are acceptable. The hot tub is amazing and quite large. Everything else was as expected... enough kitchen amenities, towels, etc. Lots of Scrabble sets and several puzzles available for game folks, and a couple of girly kites you can take out to the beach. The only thing I don't like about this place is the stone tile flooring. Because there are so many crevices, it hides lots of sand and grit which sticks to feet when you walk around barefoot (we just wore socks and problem solved). We really enjoy this place though, so much so we've stayed there twice.

A wonderful time in a beautiful home. The house was clean and kitchen was very well equipped for our annual NYE Cassoulet dinner. Our only issue was not being able to get a fire in the fireplace to keep going.

I booked the Bella Mar needed a good sized home for my family Holiday gathering, It was the perfect fit! The kitchen was well stocked (I read the list of what they provided so I knew what I needed to bring) and the dining room table was so large it was just right for our large family. Location wise it was in a quiet area, and close enough to town for our purposes. The home was in great condition and was very clean, I appreciated the washer and dryer too. I rented from Sunset Vacation Rentals and they were so nice and helpful. We would most certainly rent this home again!

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Mar! It was my Mom's 86th Birthday and 4 sisters and 2 sister-in-laws(and Bentley, my Bernese Mt. dog)treated her to a week end at the coast. We ate, drank, walked on the beach, and even watched a Duck win!!! Bella Mar was beautifully furnished with everything we needed and more!!! I would highly recommend it as, at least a two night, vaca:)

Great in every way............

Pictures don't show improvements which include bigger gardens, and decks! The big dining table is great, lots of rentals say they sleep up to 10-12 people and then they have a table for 6!? We liked the fact that the living and kitchen/dining areas were separate. When you go with a group, sometimes you want some separation for different activities, conversations. Loved the area, short walk to beach, beautiful house. So sad they aren't renewing their contract!!!!

This is our second stay at Bella Mar. We came back because we really like this property. Manzanita is much less crowded and touristy than that place up the road. And the IGA is convenient and has more selection than you know where.

The beach is only a short walk, but that keeps the wind to a minimum at the house.

The only things we disliked were the "queen" bed in the middle bedroom (it was a futon) and the bare floors that make every sound carry throughout the house.

The hot tub was a delight at the end of the day. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, glasses, a coffee maker, pot, pans and lots of seating around the table. We cooked in most nights. The laundry was used every day.

Great value for a family vacation away from July in Oklahoma.

Sublime, exactly what we wanted. A lovely place.

worked well for our family. Our only negative comment is that the kitchen lacked a few items - like potato peeler, adequate serving dishes.

The property was just at the edge of town and had a quick walk to the beach. You could also walk to town in about 20 min. The house had a lot of character and the hot tub was a bonus. There were a few issues with the house in that is looks like the foundation settled and has caused the doors and floors to not be square, so a few doors wouldn't shut. Also, there looks like there is moisture issue in the upstairs bathrooms with mold on the windows/ceiling. Other than that, the company was great to work with, we had an awesome stay. The house was supplied with all our household needs, the fireplace added an extra touch, and we got a great deal!

Family and friends spent a great weekend in Manzanita at Bella Mar. The home is on a quiet street just a couple of blocks from the ocean. We had 8 people and a dog, and there was plenty of space for everyone. We liked the large kitchen table and the living room with the cozy fireplace for gathering together. The bedrooms were all comfortable and were outfitted with queen or king sized beds which was important to us when booking as we had four couples. The management company was quick to respond to my reservation inquiry when I was looking for a home. I would highly recommend this home.

Beautiful house with all the accomodations. Perfect for a ladies weekend getaway!

Nature is the real setting. We picked blackberries every morning and explored a different beach each afternoon.

We had a very nice vacation at Bella Mar. The only negative comments we had were the kitchen chairs being too hard to slide on the tile floor and the watered down soap in the bathrooms.

We were impressed with the Internet pictures of Bella Mar but really they didn't do it justice. It was such a beautiful home, quite spacious for three families and so comfortably furnished! The kitchen was well equipped and convenient. We enjoyed the hot tub and the little ones also played in the natural sand by the house when we weren't at the beach, hiking or climbing mountains.

Went to Manzanita with some girlfriends for a ladies weekend and had a great time in this house. Great beds, big kitchen and living room and a beautiful backyard with a great hot tub. We all said that we would be renting it again for sure.

We had a great time at this house, very accommadating. Only dissatisfaction were the kitchen table chairs were hard to move on the tile floor. Getting out from under the table caused a great deal of noise and we had babies sleeping. Also, one of the bedrooms had a futon instead of a bed and it was very hard. Didn't sleep well. Other than that we loved the home. Location was great-just a few blocks from the beach!

What a great house! The pictures don't do it justice on the website. Very nicely appointed and great amenities with hot tub and a fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for everyone and comfortable space to relax with just a short walk to a very nice and quiet beach. We'd definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed Bella Mar. Perfect for our large party. The house is lovely and has a great back yard space equipped with BBQ and hot tub. We will definitely be coming back!

We rented the Bella Mar for a birthday weekend at the coast and everyone had the best time. The house was located close to the beach, to town, was very clean and comfortable, and had ever amenity we could ask for (except filters for the coffee pot, but there was also a french press, so honestly, not a complaint!)
I would go back in a heartbeat. And honestly, hope to do so soon!

We were a multi-generational group age 16-91! the layout of the house as well as the individual heating units made it easy to keep everyone happy.

We had a great time! the house was very spacious and we loved the fact that the property was pet friendly. Everyone had their own room but we spent most of our time in the downstairs area with a double sided fireplace that faced both the living room and the dining room. The kitchen was very well stocked with every device you could want. We loved the hot tub where we soaked into the night both days. I would highly recommend Bella Mar for a wonderful getaway.

Had a great time with some girlfriends, working on creative projects for the weekend. Hot tub was awesome, very comfortable all around, cozy interior nicely decorated. We would definitely return!

Had a company reteat at this house and it was perfect! Lots of beds for the whole staff, lots of space to move around. Just enough room to fit 7 in front of the tv to watch a few DVDs. House was nice and clean, except floors were sandy when we got there. (I can imagine it's hard to keep sand off floors at the beach, though.) Kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, pots, etc.

I rented Bella Mar for a girls weekend retreat and it was perfect! We enjoyed all of the amenities including the fireplace, the hot tub, and the ;arge kitchen table was a wonderful gathering place for some great food. wine, and girl talk. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths made our stay so comfortable. The beach was beautiful--uncrowded and clean! It couldn't have been a better experience.

Great stay - very relaxing Nice home with a lot of light and a great layout for a family. Wish we knew this was adjacent to a road but it's not very busy and the home is a short walk to the beach and has a great hot tub for colder days!
