CABIN AT THE BEACH ~ MCA 1263

Easy sign in. Close to the beach. Made our our breakfast and had a nice stay

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 loaction, had a great eat time, needs some updates.

Manager's Response

We had a great time.

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.

adequate

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

:)

I've used Sunset before and I've always appreciated the booking agents' pleasant personalities and willingness to find the best property for our needs. The porch light and heat were on when we arrived, which was great since it was snowing and we were ready to settle in. The location to the beach and store are walking distance. Everything you need but groceries are provided.

The location was ideal, the place was immaculate, and the rate was unbelievable! The only thing that would have made it better would have been a fireplace. Wi-fi would have been nice, too.

Pleasant 2-BR rental in great location quite close to beach. Nice porch.

Great location, one block off of Laneda; about two blocks to beach. Dining and shopping practically out the front door.

Simple accommodations - which is exactly perfect for the beach in the summertime. Two bedrooms, a bathroom (shower only), a living room, and kitchen with eating area for about four people.

Perfect for couple with small children; or maybe two couples...

The plug in freshners are AWFUL. I placed on deck to keep outside - fyi. Not quite a "fully stocked" kitchen - bare bones.

Thank you.

Great little cottage with a great location. One minute walk from the town and the beach. Everything was very clean. Older furniture, but in good condition. The kitchen has everything you need. Great outdoor covered porch with a picnic table. Perfect for a family with small children - otherwise the kitchen can be a little tight with lots of adults.

Four adults,one 5 year old,and one two year old vacationed for a week there and had a wonderful time. With the master bedroom and another bedroom with a double bed and two bunk beds in it,we all had comfortable,private sleeping areas. The kitchen/eating area was tiny,but we managed because we used the charcoal grill and the large table on the porch for a lot of the cooking/eating. The bathroom is tiny-there is no tub but there is a red shower.The washer and dryer are just apartment size,much like you find in condos. But they worked well.We had to do laundry for towels. They only provided 4 nice ones and a few thin,pretty well worn out ones. That was not enough for 6 people for a week.
The house was clean,but not spotless. The front yard has large pine trees so the needles and sand made the front yard comfortable to walk across and to view. One side backs up to a parking lot,but there was a nice wooden divider fence and beautiful flowers and plants along it. The backview is of trees and another fence. The house is almost on the property line in the back,but there was another tall fence there so it was not a problem. The other side yard fascinated the grandchildren because it had a lot of blackberry briars and they were ripe. Their father showed them how to pick a few. Living in the city of Portland,they had never picked blackberries before.
The walk to uptown was just through that parking lot,so we could get to the ice cream shop and the Puzzle and Games store without even crossing the street. To get to the beach,we only had to cross two small streets. We would go again next week if we could !

The only suggestion would be that the rental should have more and better cooking utensils.
