Fantastic stay!
We had a wonderful stay here for a week. The house is well set up for an extended family group with several bathrooms and a separate living area in the basement. The hot tub is a treat and it's an easy walk to the beach and town. Lots of fun games, toys, and a well appointed kitchen. Brenda was easy to communicate with. We'd love to make it a tradition and stay here again.

Great two family option
We stayed in the house with another family (four adults, four kids) and there was space for all. The house was well stocked and the kids enjoyed the foosball and ping pong tables. Easy walk to the beach with a wagon provided in the garage (and beach chairs which we appreciated). Main Street was a short walk as well. Thank you for a great week at the beach.

Perfect Manzanita Getaway
We loved staying in the Mermaid House! There were 6 of us + a pup and we had the perfect amount of space (4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms). The kitchen was well stocked which allowed us to make delicious meals and treats both inside and outside on the grill. The hot tub was a huge added bonus and work great. I would love to stay here again!

Getting to stay at Brenda's house for our beach getaway made for such a magical weekend. Our kids really loved the toy cars and the adults really enjoyed the open spaces and hanging out in the hot tub after the kids were in bed. Much love to Brenda for sharing such a great place.

Perfect family getaway
This beautiful, well maintained and well equipped house is perfect for us, as we all have our own spaces, and we have artistic, airy, shared spaces to come together. The beach is right down the road, town is a short walk, and a clean, quiet refuge to begin and end the day of adventure. I'm grateful we found such a perfect place for our annual family visit to Manzanita.

Great house, close to everything
Can’t beat the location, so close to both the beach and town. The hot tub was amazing especially in the winter. The other outdoor areas looked nice too, would also consider staying in the summer. The main living area was spacious enough for everyone. Well stocked kitchen. The only thing to note is that the upstairs bedrooms are way nicer than the basement rooms. Not a deal breaker and pretty typical with places we’ve rented in the past. The kitchenette area in the basement and 2nd mini living room was great though!

Great rental
We really enjoy staying at this rental and have stayed a few times. By the end of the summer it was definitely in need of a deep clean. The couches smelled like wet dogs had been on them. I guess that’s probably to be expected at a pet friendly place on the coast. I honestly wish it wasn’t pet friendly because that’s the only drawback. The place is otherwise great

A perfect week in Manzanita
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this home! The location was lovely, a very relaxing and quiet neighborhood, but with close access to both the beach and to the main street, where there were shops and stores to explore. The house was fully furnished, cozy and well decorated, and provided ample linens, toiletries, and supplies for cooking. We enjoyed the hot tub too! The split levels made it easy for our extended family to spread out into their own bedrooms, the large TVs had all of these subscription services we needed, and the house was definitely set up for a relaxing time! We loved going to the bookstore, playing fetch on the beach with our two small dogs, trying different coffee shops, grilling on the patio, and drinking local wine. We’ve come to the Oregon coast every year for a few years now, and this house and location are our new favorite! Thank you for an incredible stay.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Gunderson

Host profile image
My partner Dave and I are both native to the Northwest and currently live in Portland. I am a Artist, Realtor and a Portland native, and Dave is a semi-retired commercial fisherman and marine electrician from Alaska.. so of course he loves the coast. We like to buy and fix up properties and have some other rentals in Portland, so it made sense to us to rent out our beach house to help cover the cost of owning a vacation home. Since we began to offer our home as a short-term rental in Manzanita, we have enjoyed the experience of sharing this little piece of Oregon paradise.

Why they chose this property

One of our favorite things about our beach home is the location. We love Manzanita. It isn't as touristy as many beach towns, but there are enough shops and restaurants to entertain us and everyone is friendly. The little grocery store in the middle of town seems to have everything and the Sand Dune pub often has excellent food and live music (and they let dogs come through to sit on the back deck). The open stretch of beach is amazing and protected from the wind and weather somewhat by nearby Neakahnie Mountain, but we still get enough wind to attract Kiteboarders on some afternoons. Speaking of mountains, the trailhead is only 5 minutes away and we enjoy hiking to the top for exercise and taking in the amazing view. We love to crab/fish in Nehalem Bay, bike/walk at the nearby state park or head 20 minutes North to watch the surfers at Oswald West State park and explore the caves. Another favorite past time is antique shopping in Wheeler just 10 minutes south, or collecting driftwood and mussels at Manahattan Beach wayside near Rockaway about 20 minutes south. We love the privacy and quiet our home offers too for the times we just want to hang out and relax. I don't think we've ever come here and not enjoyed ourselves.

What makes this property unique

With the warmth inside and set back in the trees, a few blocks from the beach, the storm can be raging and you'll feel safe and warm. With the bright decor you are uplifted, even on the gloomiest days. On sunny days you can catch rays on the private back deck and hardly know the wind is blowing or that nearby neighbors even exist. It is a second home for us, not just a vacation rental and we think this feeling of 'home' will shine through, from the decor to the books, games, kids toys and well stocked kitchen, you'll have everything you need to snuggle in and feel comfortable.
