CABIN AT THE BEACH ~ MCA 1263

First, we loved the central location and enjoyed the close proximity to Laneda's businesses. However, this is a bare bones place. The kitchen is poorly stocked, the furniture is old and uncomfortable, the yard is neglected, and the appliances are old and noisy. Currently there is a lot of construction on the street, which makes it noisy outside as well. Given the charge for the stay, they could spend some money on this place to bring it out of the '80s.

Pleased we were able to get the perfect rental for our short visit. The “Cabin” is perfectly located, close to beach, close to town. Also, since we have a dog, we felt comfortable with her there. No fenced yard but that wasn’t necessary. The “Cabin” is sadly in need of some updates. Kitchenware is sadly lacking in quality and quantity. Towels and linens -same. Whole place needs some TLC. In my experience it felt like an income producer not a welcome respite.

The location was perfect, one block away from beach access and within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. There is a state park about a mile away and if you walk down the beach to the right there are great tide pools with tons of starfish and other sea life. I found a lot of whole sand dollars on the beach too. The house itself is pretty bare bones, not a lot of extras but it’s clean. The bathroom toilet ran and the sink doesn’t drain well. There were also ants in the bathroom.

The location to this house can't be beat- blocks from the beach and right in town but it is super expensive for what you're getting and they request you do a ton of cleaning for how much you're paying (including about $100 in cleaning fees). The beds are really uncomfortable and the internet is a bit spotty but the place is good for those who are looking to spend lots of time outside of the house. Mostly it felt really overpriced for what we got.

Manager's Response

A decent house, nothing special except for the location and dog friendly. With all the fees, a property advertised at $149 (I think) per night ends up at almost $265. Seems excessive.

Wonderful stay so close to town! I love this town and stayed here a dozen times or so and by far the closest to town and was amazing! Loved walking to food, shops and grabbing wine and chill on the beach!

Yard was very overgrown with weeds and briars. We stayed one night (scheduled for 2 nights) and left early in the morning. Cabin was filthy, we were afraid to touch anything.

I like this house mainly because of the location. I've stayed there twice. Here are my complaints:

1. The bedding is worn - new pillows (some soft, some firmer), new sheets are needed.

2. The TV. This is a BIG complaint. The owners NEED TO HAVE CABLE and NEED TO PROPERLY CONNECT THE TV TO THE INTERNET SO THAT WE CAN STREAM. Also, the sound, at 100%, is still too low. They may have to buy a new TV. The TV situation, as you probably have heard from other guests, is the MOST ANNOYING THING obout this house.

3. the kitchen needs a set of stainless steel bowls - from big to small, for cooking, baking, salad.

If I can find another house within easy walking distance to the Main Street in Manzanita, I might give up on Cabin at the Beach.

You just get the feeling that the owners are CHEAP. It is rather depressing.

The cabin was great and very quaint. Awesome location. Just a few blocks to everything. Will be back. Very relaxing and perfect weather.

Had scheduled 2 days but extended to 4 days due to valley fires. The office staff was extremely helpful during this trying time and got use another cabin for 2 days. Except a TV not working in one cabin. a very positive experience!

We enjoyed our visit very much. The house is really close to the beach, and found it very convenient.

We really enjoyed the location of this house. We rent houses all over Manzanita and this one is closest to our favorite donuts! Easy access to the beach and to shops. It is on the smaller side but for my two boys & myself it was perfect. Clean and kitchen had everything we needed to eat at home.

We love this place... it is perfect for parking your car and walking everywhere you want to go in Manzanita! It did not hurt that the weather was some of the best we have ever seen on the Oregon Coast!

We love this place. This is our 5th stay, and we will return next year for another. It is cozy but houses our family of 5 and our dog with no issue. The kitchen supplies are basic but suffice for basic cooking. Location is fantastic and the ease of access frees us up to enjoy ourselves.

Normally when we stay on the coast we rent something with a water view, we decided to try something different this year and save a little money and stay off beach. We had great weather for our five day stay so we spent a lot of time walking the beach with our standard poodle, meeting other walkers and their pets. We even sat on the porch for a couple of hours and read on Christmas day. The house is close to town , but for us not a big deal and it is noisy in the morning with the venders delivering to the stores and restaurants, and there seems to be a lot of cars not belonging to houses that park in front of the houses. We live in the country so we get none morning noise and see very few strange cars.

A new venture for us, staying in Manzanita, OR. We arranged with Sunset Cabins Property Managers in Manzanita for our stay. The cabin was clean, with features we have seen in older cabins. It did not matter, as everything worked. We prepared our own meals, not eating out at all. We did not use the dishwasher. A nice place for the two of us.

My mother and I had a great trip, the house was recommended by a friend and it was perfect. The location cannot be beat, walking distance to everything you need...I did not drive my car one time in the 6 days while we were there!

Tiny little house! Great location (but you should know this street is always packed with cars due to the vicinity to the main drag), loved being able to walk to the beach, the main drag or the park. Terrible beds, our backs hurt all week would not come back to this house for only this reason really. Love the front porch but only one light works. The kitchen has all of the normal requirements, but NOTHING extra (every house I’ve stayed in always seems to have a various assortment of things in their kitchens like ziplocks, aluminum foil, spices, tea, etc.) Though there is a kitchen table, we never used it because there just wasn’t enough space.

The best thing about this house is the location and nice front porch. Very short walk to both the beach and the town. Kitchen is small which makes preparing meals a little challenging but manageable. Nice size kitchen table but it is too large for the space which makes opening the oven tough if someone is sitting at the table. Could use some new bath towels and mattress for the full size bed. Recommendations would be to eat out if possible and maybe add some TV trays to eat in the living area or eat on the picnic bench on the porch. The lint tray was broken and did not seem to fit in the dryer properly so was hesitant to use it.

House was just what we needed for our aging doggies. Big porch, single level, couple of blocks to the beach. Only drawback is the noise in the morning from the bakery , and grocery store deliveries.

First time trip to the ocean for our 6 and 4 year old girls. This VBRO was just what we needed at a reasonable price. If you're looking for luxury and grandeur, this is not your place. If you need a place with GREAT LOCATION to town shops and beach, all the amenities (albeit very used and dated, down to the 80's Tupperware and blender) without having to worry about your children touching things, THIS is your place! Very clean and flat screen TVs. DW/WD/fridge are old and LOUD, but work. Beds were comfortable enough and neighborhood is quiet. Lovely little town to visit. You will be in the minority if you do not bring a dog to this town.....

Small but totally comfortable little house right in the heart of town. Everything was walkable and it was great to be able to bring the dog.

Perfect!

Good location ang cozy stay for a couple!

overall fine. water tasted bad from faucet, made horrible coffee. muni water supply vs. problem with plumbing in cabin?

Manager's Response

We loved being so close to town. The house is simple, but nice. My only real complaint is that the mattresses are very uncomfortable, especially the kids. You could feel the springs. We put 2 comforters between the mattresses and the sheets and that helped a bit, but I definitely think you could/should upgrade the mattresses a bit for a minimal price.

This is our third visit to Cabin on the Beach, and we will be back again next year. It's location is perfect, We would say less than a block to the beach and the main street. Our family of 5 stays here comfortably. It is as described in the listing and is always spotless when we arrive. We would highly recommend it to anyone. We love spending time on the beach, strolling the town, local hiking, and the fresh fish at the market in town can't be beat!

Manager's Response

We love this house and the location. It's close enough to everything in town that we can park our car when we arrive and not get into it again until we leave. The house itself is older, the stove struggled to work on this trip, only one burner functioned at all. But we didn't mind, we used the grill mostly, anyway. It's a simple house for a quiet and simple vacation.

Manager's Response

We came down for a quick beech weekend and had a great time. The house is conveniently located just a couple blocks from the beach and Laneda street. Enjoyed the dog friendli-ness and the large deck

Manager's Response

Our experience was really good! The pace was really clean and organized. Me and my wife loved the location of it too. We had a blast and definitely would rent again.

Manager's Response

We stayed for 3 nights and everything was ok - clean, etc., but the place is worn, the kitchen is poorly equipped and there is no landscaping to speak of, so it's not exactly charming. However, they accommodate dogs and the location is very central...

We loved staying at Cabin at the Beach! It was neat and clean and had everything that we needed, plus we were able to walk EVERYWHERE we wanted to go in Manzanita. Be aware, however, that in addition to the nightly rate you will be paying almost $200 in taxes and fees~ this was a bit of a frustrating surprise to me. My only suggestion is that the rental company ought to charge the cleaning fee and allow guests to NOT strip beds at the end of stay, or decrease the cleaning cost.

It is a nice place . Just a few updates needed( beds and furniture). Very clean place great location . Would stay here again .

Great!

Very nice close to town

Good location walk from the beach and very close to town. Unit is comfortable but basic.
I was a bit disappointed that the unit was not cleaner. There was sand on the table and the floor in living room. I was also disappointed that the TV channel did not cover cable stations.

Great location, right off the main street but still nice and quiet. For a beach house, this works. I think the owner could justify charging more with just a little bit of TLC. The mattresses are worn, the couch is well past its prime, the house smells musty (probably the well worn carpets), the living room tv and vcr (yes, really, there's a vcr there) could use modernization and the basic cable (10 channels) feels cheap. There's a ring of dirt around the couches, and some healthy looking spiders along the ceiling.

The kitchen is nice and everything works. The bathroom is nice. It's a short walk to the beach.

Loved Manzanita!! We will be back.
This house is in a great location, walking
Distance to everywhere. Grass was knee high. Would have been nice if the
Yard was useable. The furnishings are older, mst bed slumps in the middle and tv remotes don't work.

Enjoyed the location and the stay. The furniture needs updatting and kitcheln needs pots pans and basic utensils like veg peeler sharp knives etc. Not complaining but should make owner aware.

I would say that for the number of additional fees that are attached I was dismayed that I had to wash most of the dirty laundry and empty all of the trash bins. It's the kind of thing I prefer to get away from when on vacation. Great location though!

Wonderful!
Can not wait to do this again.
The Sunset lady was a wonderful help....made the whole experience so easy!!!!

Location was great, very close to town. It's just a beach house, beds were okay and windows were dirty.

This house is comfy and convenient in the heart of Manzanita. Perfect for 4 - 6 people.

Exactly what we were looking for ! Would recommend and would return!!

We would stay here again

The space was clean and very conveniently located. I didn't find the living room cozy enough for hanging out, but I'm particular when it comes to a room's layout. Also, this is a pet-friendly rental, yet once you get there the info book tells you that no pets are allowed. The "welcome" materials need to be updated.

This cabin had everything that was needed for our short stay at Manzanita. The location was PERFECT! Even though this property is very close to everything, it was quiet and peaceful there. I would stay there again.

This was a good simple location close to the beach. LOUD waasher and dryer but otherwise good!

Location,location,location 1/2 block from center of town and a short walk to beach couldn't be better,not a fancy house but for a family of 4 more than enough room with a covered front porch.will give it a rave review and will go through sunset again it was so easy thanks great house

We enjoyed our stay, though the weather was dissappointing

the house is your Grandmas beach cabin and she hasn't bought a new couch since Reagan was in office. Its so great to be in Manzanita it may not matter but if you are looking for something sleek or modern and top quality linens this is not the one for you.

Great location, and easy to book. Would be nice to have mini-shampoo in the bathroom for travelers. Lovely beach house.

The location was the best part of this rental. The house itself was pretty basic, but doable. Fridge ran a lot, so was noisy, and it froze our veggies, knives were not sharp, but we usually expect that in a rental. Clean and quiet. Close to town and a short walk to the beach. Thanks

:)
