Best place on Nehalem Bay

The house is laid out very well for families with 3 generations. Laundry room right from back door. All the rooms are nice size. We enjoyed Nehalem beach so much every day and watched the sunsets from there. We walked into Manzanita on the beach for coffee and pastries in the mornings. So close to great state parks, beaches, crabbing, hiking. The best

Our new favorite place to stay in Manzanita/Neahkahnie

My family loves to come to Manzanita every summer and this house has become our default destination. Close to the beach and enough of a view to enjoy sitting and watching the ocean on a rainy day.

Great stay

Really nice property, great location across the street from the beach. We were happy with how well appointed the house was. Beds were clean and comfortable. The home gets warm with the afternoon sun but there are lots of fans provided which made it comfortable. Thank you for a great stay.

Surfwatcher Beach House Fun

The Surfwatcher is a great beach house about a 100 yard walk from the beach at Manzanita. A perfect house for our group of 6 including 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 young grandchildren (ages 8 and 5). The was well equipped, and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Cannon Beach is about a 20 minute drive north with Haystack Rock and lots of restaurants. Several nice beaches between the house and Cannon Beach. Lots of fun places to go and enjoy the outdoors. We will definitely try to stay at the Surfwatcher again.

Birthday Vacation

My husband and i truly enjoyed the location of this house. it was across the street from the beach and close to nearby towns and state parks. This house had the BEST kitchen supplies and household linens we have ever had at any rental houses. We are considering staying here in the future. Highly recommend it for families.

Great location

House was perfect for a relaxed vacation. It was right across from the beach and a short bike ride or drive into town. We were impressed by how clean it was and the layout was perfect for three adults and two kids. The pictures accurately lay out the house and set up.

Beautiful home, wonderful location

What a lovely place in a beautiful area! The house is simple but clean and elegant, with a well equipped kitchen and everything else you would need. The ocean view right from the living room was lovely, and it was so nice to be just a short walk away from the most amazing beach! Communication with the host was excellent - very responsive and informative. We hope to return soon.

Pictures don’t do this house justice!

The pictures made this house look lack luster; however, despite the appearance on line, it was very comfortable, clean and had a surprisingly great view. Just steps away from a beach path. Excellent communication as well. Perfect getaway!

The house is well located across the street from the ocean, very clean and comfortable, with everything one needs for six. Close to the north end of Manzanita beach at the foot of neahkahnie mountain. The host is very responsive to questions. Great value for money
