BRIGADOON ~ MCA 1205

The Brigadoon house is very spacious (except the bathrooms). It accommodated our family of eight very well with a large tv room. The beach is a short walk and is lovely. The downtown is quaint with shops, a few restaurants, a wine bar. There was a very good seafood restaurant on Hwy 101. I would recommend this house.

We had a wonderful family reunion at Brigadoon - ample beds and living space for 6 adults and 4 kids (note that the bathrooms are tiny!) the kitchen, living rooms, and deck are terrific and our kids had fun exploring the trees and building fairy houses in the small front yard. Easy walks to beach and ice cream, coffee, and restaurants in super charming Manzanita.

We brought our 4 boys, 1 daughter-in-law, 1 nephew his wife and 21/2-year-old daughter together for a family gathering and could not have been happier. The house is spacious, recently redone and had all of the comforts of home. We would highly recommend it.

This home manages to be spacious and cozy all at once. It is a very short walk to the beach and less than a mile to the grocery store as well. We were very pleased with it over all.

Spacious, clean, lots of room to spread out or hang out together. We would absolutely stay here again.

Our spring break trip was filled with LOTS of liquid sunshine. But this house is SO cozy and comfortable we had such a great trip anyway. We were playing games, snacking, reading and snuggling on the couch watching movies. We loved our stay there!

We had a great stay. Loved how easy it was to walk to the each (a few blocks) and to walk into town (about 10 minutes). Lots of room to relax in several common areas, and nice bedrooms. One nitpick: the kitchen could use a stepstool (cabinets very tall!)

We all had a great time and the Brigadoon was a wonderful house. We'd go back there if we had the chance. A few minor suggestions would have improved our otherwise very enjoyable stay:
* Make sure details provided match what's in the house. There was a blender and ice maker after all.
* Be clear on local recycling. We had to separate glass, plastic and paper into categories at the recycling center. Had we known that, we would have separated items in the house better.
* The fan in the master bedroom made a loud whirring sound that was annoying. Motor probably needs replacing or repairing.
* Chairs to take to the beach were needed. We had to buy some locally.
* More wine glasses needed.
* More info on how cold the ocean is and how windy the beaches are would help visitors who didn't know any better.
* Needed current brochures on restaurants/shops.
Thanks ... Phil Stella, Mayfield Village, OH

Brigadoon was excellent for our family beach gathering. Clean, well organized, lots of room, and the location an easy walk to the beach and town. We would recommend it to others, and we will consider it highly for our next beach vacation.

Property was comfortable with great hot tub. There was construction occurring during our stay on the outbuilding. We complained to management company, and owner promised to have construction crew leave until after stay but they never did. While we received one free night, sou;d never have rented here if this had been made known to us.

Without construction would give 4 stars.

Manager's Response

We loved the newly remodeled kitchen with large island, the deck and hot tub. The 3 minute walk to the beach or town is perfect. Downstairs the bathroom is small but other than that there is a lot of room for everyone!

We enjoyed our stay at Brigadoon. It was very spacious. We were there with our two sons and their families. We had toddlers to teenagers. The extra family room downstairs was perfect for the teenagers to have their own space.
Brigadoon is tastefully decorated and updated. There was lots of natural light in the kitchen from the windows and skylights. We would definitely return to Brigadoon.

Manager's Response

There wasn't any laundry detergent so we couldn't do any of the sheets or towels, but the house was amazing and we would definitely come back! It had the perfect amount of beds and the kitchen layout was just great for our needs. Close to town and the beach.

Thanks.

Our stay was a happy and satisfying experience.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the house. The newly remodeled kitchen was wonderful and well stocked for 4 adults and two little kids. There was plenty of space for everyone and the deck was wonderful. We easily were able to walk to town and the beach with a 3 and 6 year old.

It was wonderful

Manager's Response

House worked well for our extended family of 11 adults & children, was reasonably well appointed, & a good value per dollar.
Plumbing/fixtures in both showers need repair/replacement. Mattress in lower middle bedroom is nearing end-of-life; replacement should be considered.
House description on the rental agency website is outdated based on currently provided items (more/different things now provided than was described).

Plenty of room, great location, great experience

Enjoyed our stay with family in this house set in the trees only walking distance to the beach and the town. Liked the large living room with huge sectional couch and big tv!

restful, fun packed with family, excellent fishing, great house with great accommodations (except for the range top with only 2 functioning burners).

We had a fantastic stay here at Brigadoon, with my family visiting from Scotland.
The house is very spacious, perfect for parents, an infant, a toddler and 2 teenagers!
An easy walk to the beach and main street.

Nice house. Good furniture and well appointed kitchen. The white carpeting in the main bedroom is odd. This is a summer rental that allows dogs...

We had a group of 8 for the weekend, and the house was perfect. It has a modern look and feel that is uncommon in beach houses - homey and comfortable without the overwhelming kitchy beach decor. The indoor hot tub room was amazing, even if the tub was small. The beds were really comfortable, though two adults had to sleep in the bunk beds. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pot and pans, and utensils. There was one broken drawer - the whole front came off when we opened it. But other than that, the house was in wonderful shape. The men appreciated the large TV for their football games, and the many couches and places to gather were perfect. The beach was just a short walk away and we had wonderful weather to sit out on the big deck.

A decent house, just a few blocks from the ocean. The house adequately housed 8 adults and one child. Dog friendly too!

We have stayed in Manzanita several times over the last dew years with a large group (11) and this was the best accommodation we have stayed in.

Brigadoon's location is very good with close access to the beach and an easy stroll to the town - both a must during our stay. It is also set well on a quiet street and suited for the beach.

The accommodation was very comfortable for a large group with the only slight complaint being the size of the dining table (we come together as a group and would like to dine together as a a group)- "sleeps 11, seats 6". However, there are folding tables that alleviate this shortfall.

We had considerable issues establishing effective communication with the managing agents before the visit. However, once rectified, they were very responsive and helpful during the stay, going beyond expectations.

The cleanliness on arrival was okay but those in our party arriving before me felt compelled to clean the floors and some of the dishes before settling in. The house is well stocked with towels and dishes, although we did bring a large skillet and tongs for BBQ which proved helpful.

Overall, we were please with the location and comfort of Brigadoon and are in agreement (not easy in a committee of 11!) that we would chose to stay here again.

We enjoyed staying at Brigadoon. There was enough room that we were able to have out own space and still be together. Younger generation loved the hot tub. We did some cooking and recommended that the frying pans be replaced. There are only 2 burners and a grill on the Jen Aire so the cook needs to plan ahead. There was an question about the hot tub and the office was called. We left a message with a question, but never got a call back. Luckily we figured it out. All in all--a good rental.

Very spacious home. Could use a larger dining table. Otherwise very nice.

Great location and hot tub. Just blocks from the beach, we found it to be a very suitable place to stay. Be sure to bring good quality pots and pans--they are in short supply there.

We had our entire extended family at our home
(Old Gray Aunt) and Brigadoon (22!), A great holiday was had by all.

We stayed in Brigadoon with another family. Total of four adults and four kids (ages 3-5). Nice walk from the house to the beach, the town, and the city park. Hot tub was nice, although only the kids used it. Bathrooms pretty basic. Nice living space for a group.

Ohana means family in Hawaiian & Brigadoon is a great house for a large family, or a big group. The family room has plenty of seating. We utilized the extra tables & chairs stored in the master bedroom closet. The children of all ages worked on crafts using one of the folding tables. This was our second stay at this beach house & I was glad to see new carpet in the living room. We had a major leak under the sink, that we found on our 2nd day. A repairman came to assess it quickly & it was repaired early the next morning. The water spigot on the fridge door had a leak & the repairman took pictures. Hopefully,it will be repaired soon. My son brought a large screen TV, that the game players & television lovers utilized in the family room. We also brought 2 airbeds, because the hide-a-beds aren't very comfortable. We love the hot tub & the easy walk to the beach. For the price this house can't be beat for quality family time! There is plenty of room for several cars to park as well. ;-)

Lovely location and very spacious. The dining room/family room furniture was overly worn and dilapidated. no wine opener or coffee grinder. Great for a large crowd. A few repairs needed. Overall good though.

Manager's Response

The house was well stocked , clean, and very comfortable. Thank you

the bunk beds as well as both hide-beds are extremely uncomfortable and need to be updated.

Manager's Response

Second time we stayed here. This time, there was a significant plumbing problem with garbage disposal/dishwasher - major leak, right down to the floor below! Place needs more kitchen gadgets, cutting boards (don't want to mix meat with fruit cutting board), knife sharpener (they were all dull as dirt),better vegetable peeler, a smaller roasting pan. Also,master bedroom mattress was way too soft with hollows. Best mattress is in basement room that has the hot tub motor humming in it all night. Strangely, for only one day, the hot tub temp spiked to 115 (we used meat thermometer to measure!).

Manager's Response

It was a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! Our whole family
really enjoyed the time together. The place had a lot of room to get around in and play games.

A great time and perfect place to stay!

Brigadoon was nice. I liked the foosball table but the TV was small. That was really the only complaint but it is not a reason to not return. I would come back again if I get the opportunity. Thanks Brenda

Nine of us enjoyed the beautiful beaches and the comfort of the house. Manzanita is a sweet town with enough places to eat so we didn't have to drive at night. We wondered why the deck didn't have any deck furniture, however.

Our family enjoyed our time at Brigadoon & liked that it is dog friendly. There was plenty of room for our large group of varying ages. It was an easy walk to & from the beach & the weather was perfect! We utilized the folding tables & chairs & ate out on the deck several times. Our daughter & family arrived last & ended up sleeping on a mattress on the floor instead of the hide a bed. It was more comfortable! We tried the air mattress at the house, but after blowing it up found there was no valve cover. The other beds were comfortable. The kitchen was adequate. We were pleasantly surprised to have a blender & waffle iron. The refrigerator vegetable drawer froze our vegetables because the dial was apparently stuck. It was very warm upstairs when we arrived. We enjoyed the fan in the LR, but could only use it with the light on. It would be nice to be able to use it with the light off. The light colored carpet upstairs in the main area is old, spotted & dirty! What is the non refundable damage deposit for? We loved the hot tub. We would stay at Brigadoon again, but bring our own air mattress if we have a full house. Thank you! ;-)

This is a great house and a great location. Would totally rent here again!

We had enough room for everyone to have their own space and still be in the same house. The downstairs shower door was broken when we arrived and fixed soon after we called Sunset Vacation Rentals. The house had plenty of towels, linens, tables and chairs. We enjoyed our short walk to the beach almost every day.

Every year we travel to Manzanita to put on a yoga retreat. On the last evening we have a potluck and this home was a wonderful location. Students could walk to the home and there was room for everyone to have a seat and a place to visit, although most of us stood in the big kitchen to visit. We really love that there are 3 areas for conversation or TV watching. The deck was amazing to sit and listen to the ocean. The home was very clean and bright cheer colors throughout- very nicely decorated. The only problem was the hot tub water looked dirty but we were unsure if it was just the age of the hot tub or if water needed changed so no one used it, but still had to pay the $40 hot tub fee. Overall we loved the place and would recommend it to our friends.

We had a great stay here--it is a close walk to town and the beach. The two downsides were an absence of dressers in any of the bedrooms to put clothing into, and that if you have toddlers or preschoolers with you, there are a ton of knick-knacks in the house for them to mess with :)

Manager's Response

Screen door broken upon arrival - installed backwards as no air flow in house, BB@ not working upon arrival, same for toilet, and shower door - maintenance crew very helpful and courteous - repaired promptly - noted leaking drain upon departure - did not notice till last day - very wet under counter.. House needs more portable chairs to accomodate qty of people it sleeps...extremely small dining area...kitchen was very well equipted, Carpets in living area (LR) very dirty (stained), house for this many $$$ should have better appearance and amenities

Manager's Response

only one of the keys worked - told the office so hopefully that is fixed. There was no phone - not a problem as we all have cell phones these days but the book said there was one

This house does not have a veiw of the water, but is a short walk to the beach.
It has a large user friendly deck and a very small hot tub.

We loved the location of Brigadoon. We loved the beach and Manzanita. But, we did not love being woken up 2 mornings in a row by smoke alarm batteries that were wearing down. Once, I guess we can handle. 2 times in a row was absolutely a nightmare. We were traveling with 7 adults and 3 children ranging from one year to five years old. They all woke up at 5am and did not return to sleep. This set the whole tone for the whole day. 3 sleeping, cranky kids. I recommend that the rental agency set up a schedule for changing the batteries so this does not happen again. I would absolutely not stay in this home if I felt we would have this problem again. Other than 2 days of tired people, tears, and tantrums, we had a good time. (I am not from Sherwood forest... Sherwood, OR)

Manager's Response

the home was larger then we thought and cutely decorated

This was our third time renting from Sunset Vacation Rentals amongst our family Mazanita vacations and our second stay at Brigadoon. Location, cleanliness and condition of house were all excellent.Very spacious to accomodate everyone. Best part is it is dog friendly. Thank you for sharing your home.

Three of the family groups stayed in Brigadoon and four stayed elsewhere. We ate meals together at Brigadoon, played games, made music with instruments and voice and had gracious time to catch up and celebrate each other's lives.

We loved the location and facility. We utilized the big space for base ground site for a large family reunion. HOWEVER, we only had 9 house guests and that bathrooms seemed insufficient....with the master kind of set reclusive and the basement bath too small. Everything really was quite nice. Thank you.

Overall my stay was good. There were only minors things like the toaster didn't work properly and one of the garbage cans was half full. But the garbage pick up came during our visit, so this solved the problem.
