My wife and I, along with our dogs, have been coming to Manzanita for almost a decade; this has been our favorite rental we've experienced.
While somewhat unassuming from the road, the interior is spacious and inviting. The main living area is an open floor plan, well-appointed with comfortable seating. There's a large converted gas fireplace that really adds to the coziness. The updated kitchen has a complete selection of plates, glassware, and utensils, along with small appliances.
There are several skylights throughout that allow in plenty of natural light.
The upstairs master has plenty of light with high ceilings and windows. The quality of the bed and mattress is always a point of concern for us. We tend to prefer a slightly firm mattress... sometimes other rentals will be overly soft, verging on "hammock-like" as you sink into them, but these were very comfortable.
It should be noted that there's no shower or tub upstairs next to the master, only a vanity and toilet, but it wasn't an issue to use one of the two showers downstairs.
It's immediately obvious that the owners take a lot of pride in the furnishings: chairs, end tables, lamps, etc. were all well-chosen.
Our dogs enjoyed the eating and drinking bowls as well, and the backyard is fully fenced.
Finally, we loved the holiday decorations the owners put up: a tree with lights and ornaments, a Christmas scene on the mantel and dining table. So beautiful!
We will absolutely make it a point to return!
