Nice house for 3 + pet
Recent Guest, Portland, OR US
The house was in generally clean and orderly shape. Kitchen is well stocked and back yard is roomy though we did not use it much due to cold weather.
There were some areas (rugs, grill) that needed attention and did not seemed clean from prior guests. We had booked through VRBO and had to sign additional agreements with Sunset Vacation Rental and provide additional ID and info, which seemed superfluous. The house was fine for us 3 but could how it could feel crowded with more folks.
Manager's Response
Thank you for letting us know about the rugs, it may be time for a deep cleaning so we appreciate you calling that to our attention.
Although all of our homes are advertised on several different booking sites, VRBO, AIRBNB ETC.. because we are the actual property managers for the home, we do require our guests to sign the rental agreement for the vacation rental. VRBO may have you sign their terms an conditions for using their site to book, We apologize if that is an inconvenience. We encourage guests to book direct with us and not only will that save time, but guests will not have to pay the extra fees required while booking on 3rd party websites.
Thank you again for staying and we hope you will come back soon for a future stay!
Great Getaway
John F., Portland, OR United States
Gray Whale is a great location, very clean, comfortable and very well stocked.
The house is super clean and newer comfortable furnishings. Perfect location to walk to downtown and the beach.
5 stars and we will definitely rent this house again.
Sunset Vacation staff is superb and made all of our arrangements effortless.

This property was perfect for us. It is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly want or need. The home was clean and nicely organized. The yard is beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed our 10 day stay at Gray Whale Cove and hopefully can return soon!
too popular!
Recent Guest, Moscow, ID United States
Since our last favorite rental was sold and is no longer available, we've looked for a place we can feel good about returning to. I think we found it at Gray Whale Cove. The biggest problem is that it's so quickly booked up.
Wonderful Vacation House!
Teresa S., N/A, CO United States
We loved our experience at the Gray Whale Cove! From the thoughful amenaties such as quality bedding, well stocked kitchen and beautiful backyard complete with patio furniture, to how well decorated it was, it was just perfect! We will definitley come again!

Karen M., Portland, Or United States
A wonderful break from being indoors being closer to the ocean and nature!
Comfy and cute
Danica B., Pasco, WA Unknown
Loved our stay! The house had everything we needed and more! Super cute, clean and safe for little kids. The backyard is spacious, the kitchen has everything you need, the bed was comfy. The only negative was the master bedroom pillows smelled like wet dog but that's an easy fix - just need replaced. We would without a doubt stay here again.
Winter at the Beach
Linda D., Steilacoom, WA United States
We had a great time despite the crazy weather. The property was great. Kitchen perfectly appointed. Cozy and comfortable. Staff at Sunset was so helpful. The space was in great condition. Tried to reserve the space for the coming summer but it is already filled up from before 4th of July through September. Would highly recommend but it is going to be hard to get in to during the summer and early fall.
Cozy & clean with a nice backyard area
Recent Guest, Tigard, OR United States
No complaints. We enjoyed our stay, and we had everything we needed. Well-stocked kitchen. Comfortable bed. One small bathroom which is fine for a couple. Enjoyed the gas fireplace. Nice TV w/ Netflix etc. Dog-friendly. Fenced yard with nice patio and gas grill. Cute decor. We would stay here again.

Cozy Winter Holiday Stay
Lisa N., N/A, CO United States
My wife and I, and her parents stayed at the Gray Whale for a few days over Christmas. It was a cozy place with a warm fire, and all the amenities you need. We did much relaxing inside, played games, cooked, napped on the comfy furniture and just hung out. Our dog also felt very welcome!
Our place at the beach!
Karen M., Portland, Or United States
Relaxing and perfect

Comfortable, Clean and Close-In
Recent Guest, Tualatin, OR United States
My husband and I really enjoyed our 4-night stay at Gray Whale Cove. It was exactly what we wanted - clean, comfortable and private - close to Laneda shops and restaurants with an easy walk to the beach. The gas fireplace was wonderful to have on rainy cold days. Would definitely come back in the future!

Gray whale Cove Stay
Recent Guest, Burbank, WA US
Nice little place. Great backyard. Good amenities. Loved the positive attitude about bringing my pets. Has a small but functional bathroom. King bed was comfortable but the plastic mattress cover was a tad bothersome. Overall I would stay here again. Also you are about 8 blocks from the beach.
Gray Whale Cove Getaway
Kendra A., Portland, Or United States
My husband and I spent three nights at the Gray Whale Cove and what a wonderful house! It was very comfortable, bright and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for times we wanted to cook. The backyard is lovely and we really liked that it was fenced as our dog couldn’t run off anywhere. I would recommend this property and will definitely be returning for future stays.
First night blackout
Gillian M., Portland, OR United States
We had a nice break for 3 days during Covid shut down
First night power failure,didn’t find flash lights till next day
Very comfortable beds ,bathroom very small and no outside window
Nice Quiet location,garden and outside eating area pleasant
Last day we returned couldn’t see the sea due to smog from wild fires in Oregon
Great Place!
John A., Fortuna, CA US
Very nice house. Very well appointed. Very nice back yard with a gas grill. Couldn't ask for more.
Great little cottage!
Connie M., Vancouver, WA United States
WE really enjoyed our stay at the Gray Whale Cove. The house is extremely comfortable for a family of four plus a dog. The house is very cheery and light and decorated very nicely. It's so close to downtown Manzanita and the beach. We will be coming back!
Christmas as the beach!
Jennifer C., Vancouver, BC Canada
Although we were aware that the rental was dog friendly, there was still a lot more dog hair than we were happy with. For example, the table has bolts on the underside and there were long tufts of dog hair hanging from both (obviously as the dog walked by the hair was caught). It was clearly visible when you walked in the door. There was also dog hair/dust bunnies in the corners of the room and under the furniture. More attention to detail in the cleaning would have caught this. Other than that the house was lovely and clean, my daughter loved all the whale decoration. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook a fantastic Christmas dinner. It is a bit away from the beach and up a short hill, but that wasn't a problem for us. There was a small problem with the wifi, but that was dealt with very quickly. We probably wouldn't stay at this location again, but we had a great experience with SSVR and would use them for future vacations without hesitation.
Great Thanksgiving!
Karen M., Portland, Or United States
We had a very peaceful relaxing time at the Gray Whale with our favorite traveling partner, our golden retriever Issablea! The beach was warm and still with lots of families enjoying their time away! The Gray Whale is the best!!!!!!!!
Wonderfully Relaxing Stay
Erin S., Los Angeles, CA US
I had a wonderful time at the Gray Whale Cove rental in Manzanita and wished I had stayed another couple days. Everything in the house was in great shape, comfortable, with all the amenities I could wish for other than a hot tub. I have two dogs and they loved it as well. My only compliant was that the entire yard is fenced as described, there is just a low board to slide across the deck walkway on the side that leads to the front yard and street, so it's not really secure. However, it's so quiet with very little traffic, and sitting up higher than the street meant that there was little for my dogs to bark at anyway, and we were always with them, so it worked alright. Overall a great experience. Thank you for sharing your home.

Gray Whale Excellent As Usual
Bob P., Tempe, AZ United States
This was our third stay at this property, and it has always been excellent. Property is perfect for 2, 3 or 4 people. It's only 2 blocks from downtown and a short walk to the beach. You don't need a car while in town.
A couple items which need addressing:
Wifi was very weak and not useable in some cases; and
Outlet for the tv in the bedroom gave off an irritating blue light that filled the entire room (we had to unplug it at night in order to sleep).

Another great visit to Manzanita and Gray Whale Cove
Elisa R., Seattle, WA United States
We’ve stayed at Gray Whale Cove several times and love the location, cozy feel and the lovely patio. We were really disappointed to find out that the new bedroom and bath were locked off and not part of the rental. It is very strange to rent 2/3 of a house, so we’re on the fence about renting this property again.

THUMBS UP FOR THE GRAY WHALE COVE HOUSE
Recent Guest, Gig Harbor, WA United States
felt right at home in this newly remodeled house. The backyard was landscaped nicely & easily secured for our dog. That was a real plus. It was clean & well maintained. Loved the location close to town & the beach. We would definitely rent this house again.
A Good Time in Manzanita
John K., Bothell, WA United States
We had a good stay but we were disappointed that the plan to add a second bathroom didn't materialize. The existing bathroom is very small and only accommodates one person at a time. The TV instructions need updating as I informed Sunset Vacation Realty. We were disappointed that there was no kleenex in the house. However, this is a nice property and we'll rent it again next year.
Absolutely perfect for us!
Lee M., Hawi, HI United States
We loved the Gray Whale Cottage. So much so, we're hesitant to say too much or it'll be constantly rented and we won't get in! Great location, spotlessly clean, everything works, decor is charming with endearing whale nuances, very comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, spectacular backyard with lots of flower boxes....what more could you possibly ask for?

Gray Whale is such a lovely home w/ so much room and generous amenities. Bedrooms are really nice w/ big comfy beds. Great kitchen, grill outside and lovely back patio. Cable and wifi. Ridiculously close walk to both town and beach. And extra Yayyyy, DOG FRIENDLY!! Thank you, we adored this place.
Can't get enough of Gray Whale Cove
Recent Guest, Seattle, WA United States
This was our fourth stay at Gray Whale Cove. We LOVE staying here! It's clean, has everything you need and is ideally situated. In the summer, we especially enjoy the outdoor patio, which is beautifully landscaped with tons of comfortable outdoor furniture. Only criticism is that there are a ton of very perfume heavy jars in every room which we immediately put away when we get there. FYI.

This is a gem. Great location on quiet street, close to shopping and restaurants. Lovely back yard with beautiful potted flowers. Comfortable and clean with all the amenities. I would stay there again in a flash. The property managers are friendly and helpful.
Gray Whale Home
Recent Guest, Kirkland, WA United States
The vacation home we rented was perfect for our needs! Very clean, very homey and just the right distance from town for a nice walk. I would definitely go back to this home when we are in the area. We mainly slept at this home as we were with family camping at Newhalem State Park so did not do cooking at the house. Outside patio was perfect for a last night gathering for pizza.
Quaint, well appointed & cozy
Mary P., Sandpoint, ID United States
A very welcoming vacation rental. Easy biking distance to town (5 min). Walking (15 min). Very clear instructions for the renter. And of course super clean!
Great house in a quiet location
Judith C., Whitefish, MT United States
Loved the decorations and the bed was very comfortable. Nice lay out and located in a very friendly, quaint town. House is pet friendly, but very clean. Sunset vacation rentals was easy to work with and very helpful during the reservation process.
Great
Recent Guest, Homer, AK United States
This was the perfect place for a weekend get-away in Manzanita! A quick 5 minute walk to the beach, coffee shop, and the local market. This quiet neighborhood was a nice retreat after spending the days exploring near-by towns. The home was very clean, and comfortable for two people. Beds were comfy, and the seating area and kitchen felt homey. While there weren't lots of "extras" in the kitchen, the local market had everything we needed. We'd loved out stay!
cozy retreat

This was our first time renting a vacation home and we absolutely loved it! This particular house was super clean and very cozy. An added bonus was the back yard...very serene and peaceful with just the right amount of decorations. We love the town of Manzanita and this stay made it all the more enjoyable. Appreciated the fully stocked kitchen as well. We will be back.

We really enjoyed our time at the Grey Whale Cove. It's a very clean home, with a open and functional layout and has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. Great outdoor spaces, we spent a lot of time in the lounge chairs, at the outdoor table. Also, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and one of the rooms even had a king bed. Perfect house for a small family - or possibly two couples, though there is only one bathroom. Only 2 blocks to the newer grocery store and Thai restaurant. Several blocks to the beach, but an easy walk and close to town. We loved our stay so much, we plan to rent again!

Spring fling at gray whale
Kandi H., Portland, Oregon United States
We liked the house. It rained so we didn't get to take advantage of the nice secluded yard and patio.We were never able to get the media to work , TV or music so we played games instead. My only real negative is that a hefty security deposit is non refundable regardless of whether or not there was any damage to the home. This is an unusual and unfair policy.
Perfect beach weekend
Alyssa S., Portland, OR United States
Wonderful house, loved the whale theme! Great location, just a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. We will definitely be returning!

Great spot for family
Recent Guest, Portland, OR United States
Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed here for a weekend and had a great time. House was cute and clean, and location was unbeatable. Quiet, nice backyard, only a very short walk into town. We would definitely stay here again.
Lovely place to stay
Recent Guest, Portland, OR United States
We really enjoyed our stay at Gray Whale Cove as expected the weather was rainy but we stayed warm and cozy with the gas fireplace and loved seeing the rain through the skylights! Very comfortable beds and a nice backyard. We look forward to returning!

Charming Whale Themed Cottage
Susan N., Ridgefield, WA United States
Delightful accommodations for the two of us and our dogs. Not too far from downtown, several blocks from the beach but still within "earshot" of the waves. Very comfortable beds which are hard to find at a rental. Just as advertised via photos!

Delightful!
Recent Guest, Condon, OR United States
The house is perfect for a quiet vacation. Absolutely no street noise! The private back yard is delightful! House is very comfortable and fully equipped with everything 4-6 guests would need. Lots of towels! Skylights enhance the living/kitchen area. Loved the king bed. The futon in the living room would be OK for a child or two, but not an adult.

Everything was perfect. I needed help with the futon and the maintenance came immediately. Extremely satisifed with Sunset Rentals.
[Great amenities!
Avis A., Auburn, WA United States
Cute property, and a close walk to groceries. The beach was several blocks down, but that's why we come to Manzanita--to walk! The house had all the blenders, coffee grinders, beach towels, and wine glasses you could want. The outdoor furniture made using the patio a pleasure, and the wifi kept us connected with family. Very quiet neighborhood, and a relaxing stay. We will come back to this house again!
Great House
Recent Guest, Portland, OR United States
My husband and I, our two children, and our dog stayed here for a weekend. The house was a short walk to the town and beach. Great front porch and back patio. This house was perfect for the four of us! We will definitely stay here again.

Danna H., Tualatin, OR United States
What a great place to stay in Manzanita! Gray Whale Cove is close to town, shops, the farmer's market, and an enjoyable walk to the best beach! The house is warm and inviting, clean, and has a great garden for the dogs. We will definitely be back!
Quaint and cute
Joanna S., Vancouver, WA United States

Great Rental
Recent Guest, Portland, Or United States
The house was very cute and charming. Great place to vacation with a dog. Just a block or two from the beach and shops. We had a very relaxing time.
Exactly right for us
Carolyn N., Portland, OR United States
With a second stay at Gray Whale Cove all 4 of us (my sister, myself, & our husbands) recommend it heartily. Not only is the cottage absolutely clean, well-furnished, and attractive but it's a great location in Manzanita for walking to the beach or restaurants & shops--we are enthusiastic walkers--& an easy drive to good eateries further afield in Wheeler & Cannon Beach. The large, comfortable back patio is a real plus, sheltered & catches the sun. We all love the cottage, the long stretch of beach, & low-key, less crowded Manzanita, our favorite beach town on the north coast.
Enjoyable short stay in Manzanita
John L., Portland, OR United States
The house was very nice, clean and ready to enjoy upon arrival. The location is a short walk to the main street in town for shops and restaurants. It's also close enough to the beach. Also, the patio would be great for a small party.
Beyond words!!
janet L., Tigard, OR United States
This was the nicest vacation rental we've experienced at the coast! It is darling, well furnished, very clean, great patio and garden. It was hard to leave. I would highly recommend this property and hope I can rent it again.
Lovely lil house!
Amanda L., Portland, OR United States
What a sweet and well stocked little house. Beautiful backyard and very dog friendly. We loved it!
Family Fun
David G., Portland, OR United States
We rented the Gray Whale Cove for a long weekend get-a-way with family. We all enjoyed our stay and appreciated the rental. The back patio was perfect to grill out and spend the evenings relaxing after adventuring on coast. Everything was clean and well maintained.
our stay
Charlie H., Gresham, OR United States
This property is one of my favorites! The beds are cozy. ... and there is not a bad seat in the house. The only complaint I have, would be the $50.00 non-refundable deposit. I think if there are no damages, the renter should get that money returned. Just another way for rental companies to make an easy buck. Next time we'll end up booking through a different agency.
Great vacation home in Manzanita

Great location. Never had to get in the car once we arrived in Manzanita. Loved that this house and yard were so dog friendly.
Top quality
Dorothy R., Pahrump, NV United States
Our children live in Manzanita and we wanted a place where we could relax and yet spend time with them. It was perfect. The yard is gorgeous and the bedding was high quality with extremely comfortable beds. Just one bathroom didn't bother us and we loved that the tvs were quality also. Thank you.
GREY skyies but a WHALE of a time
Holly and Larry B., Langley, BC Canada
This is about the fifth or sixth time we have stayed at the GREY WHALE. The skies were grey and very wet but the house was warm and dry, the beds were excellent and the over all made it a very relaxing and inexpensive get away. See you next year.
Lovely little get-a-way.
Leslie M., Portland, OR United States
The Grey Whale house was the perfect off beach rental. Walking distance to the ocean and downtown Manzanita, its cheerful colors and open floor plan were perfect for our little autumn weekend away. We were very happy to have a BBQ is use as well as a nicely stocked kitchen - as many rentals you go to have a poor selection of cooking utensils. Everything was clean and comfortable and the backyard is gorgeous! The perfect space.
Sweet little vacation rental

The Gray Whale was very cozy and I loved the decor. Great back patio for lounging around visiting.
Great stay
Carolyn N., Portland, OR United States
For the 4 of us--my husband & I & my sister & her husband--Gray Whale Cove was just right: absolutely clean & neat, comfortable, very comfy beds, convenient walking distance (we are walkers), everything in kitchen that we needed; an attractive property; good size pretty sheltered back patio with some sun & some shade. The one bathroom was not an issue, as it's right next to both bedrooms. A kitchen table to seat the 4 of us would have been nice, but other than that it was just about perfect. We'll definitely want to rent again when we head to Manzanita.
We loved Manzanita
Diane D., Regina Beach, SK Canada
Perfect property for a small family.
Great little place close to everything
Recent Guest, Portland, OR United States
The house is the perfect size for family. Or for two couples. Once there, you can walk to nearly anything you want in Manzanita including the beach, coffee shops, grocery stores, city park and playground. Beautiful cottage overall with lovely and well maintained backyard and patio, very private as well.

Great Pet-Friendly House

This was our second year at Gray Whale Cove. Very nice 2 bedroom house, close to town, the beach and golf course. Living room and kitchen have been remodeled and are very nice. Bedrooms are a little older, but still suitable.
Great Pick for a Rental Home!
Recent Guest, Loveland, OH United States
We were really happy with the house and location. I loved that the kitchen was well equiped because we rent homes often on trips and this one was excellent.

Gray Whale has a leak in the skylight
Recent Guest, Aloha, OR United States
My stay was fine, but I wanted to make sure you knew that there is a leak in the skylight nearest the front door. During a 5-hour rainy spell, we were out of the home. When we returned, we saw that water had dripped from that skylight onto the round pillow on top of the wicker footstool. I dried it out. The ceiling shows some signs that this has happened before and it should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further ceiling damage.
Everything with our stay was fine. I like larger, better beds, but I realize it's hard to have a king-size bed in a relatively small bedroom.
This home was thoughtfully laid out to provide the maximum comfort and everything a guest would need. Comfortable seating, plenty of lamps (intermittent rain allowed for reading books provided). The gas fireplace’s extra sparkle added warmth and beauty from the log flames. Back yard nicest landscaping we’ve seen. Terrific grill we used several times. Beds comfortable, extra nice laundry room, sound system(!), dog towel provided. The Gray Whale Cove is situated to provide almost total privacy from every room. Sky lights cheer up the entire living room and dining area. Kitchen has everything. Extra blankets and towels appreciated. Our favorite home now and we’ve been coming to Manzanita for 25 years.
