Be Aware Of Cancellation Policy: No Refunds for ANY Reason
We were looking forward to a little getaway but my husband caught the wheezing/incessant coughing crud that is going around, & went to urgent care the day before our trip. He was too sick to travel. Be aware that there are no refunds for any reason.
Older home, comfortable beds, big living room and dining areas. Lots of kitchen basics froms bowls to pans.
Public path to the beach right beside the house. Can see ocean here and there through beach grass

Good location, windows could use cleaning, half of the blinds did not work, mattress could use upgrade, good beach access and house itself is nice and has what you basically need.
We had a very special stay in Manzanita. Very close to the ocean. Even possible to watch the big waves from inside the house. We had very rainy weather, but that didn't bother us. Going to the ocean in a big storm has it own charm ;-). The house is has enough room for a family of six. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to spent some time in Manzanita and also for the help given when needed.
The property location was perfect. The inside furnishings are worn and may need to be replaced in the near future. The TV in the living room area did not work. This was exactly the respite I needed. I will be back.
The property has an amazing view. Inside it's dated, but clean and has most everything one would need. Wifi was slow, but who needs wifi when the beach is mere steps away. A reasonable walk to restaurants and shops. We very much enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed the setting and fabulous beach walks. Bedding comfortable and such easy access to beach and town. I can see where this would be great for families as well ( it was just my spouse and I) but I think property could be improved if the added better outdoor furniture , had beach chairs for renter use and beach toys for the kids!
Not too close to the busiest part of the beach, but just a short walk from it. Easy walk to downtown. Good path to the beach. A bit of work to pull a beach wagon up the soft sand that makes up the ramp up the bluff, but that is a small inconvenience for an otherwise perfect location.
This property was not a 4.7 star rating. Not sure if this is via Vacasa or not, but it was NOT accurate.
Other than location this property should not be on the "vacation" rental market. It appeared to be built in the 70's and it showed and smelled like it, very must when entering.
The condition was horrible, original vinyl flooring which was cracking in multiple areas. Original doors and door knobs that were grimy to the touch. Original shag carpeting in the bedrooms that you didn't want to walk barefoot in. Furniture was about the same condition too, so you didn't feel comfortable using it.
Windows that could not be opened to get fresh air.
Non functioning coffee maker.
Intermittent wifi.
Non "smart' tv
Linens that were worn through. Paper thin towels. No Kleenex. Dishware very limited and appeared to be from the 70's too.
It was so bad we didn't feel comfortable staying the full four nights.
We will not be using any VRBO "Vacasa" managed properties in the future. Not sure where the responsibility lies, but it's clear based on our past experience Vacasa managed properties are very sub-par. There appears to be very low standard if at all for being in the vacation rental business.
We were very disappointed and clearly didn't get our full value.
VRBO has work to do if we would recommend them in the future. And definitely not recommend those managed by Vacasa.
The location of this house is amazing! We had two dogs with us and it was so convenient to take them to the beach. Beautiful views. House is older but very clean and nice still. We are already planning our next time to come back!
House was clean and cozy. Great for us and our dogs. View amazing and beach access literally right out door.
A few repairs needed, door knob to back door not attached (we had to reattach with a butter knife to use door), chimney top at an angle and unable to open and close flue so we did not have a fire. No instructions about how to get keys to house in check in email. Had to call for help and get lock box number, then keys didnât work (locks seem rusted). Only one set in lock box. Luckily security code on one door works well.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if these items were attended to.
