Comfy getaway

Really cute, sits quietly in a residential area. It’s a homey house, well stocked kitchen, within walking distance to anywhere in Manzanita. Few minutes walk to the beach. For me I need my space and find it would be comfortable for two maybe, three people tops. Bathroom is cute but tiny. I travel alone so it was perfect for me. I plan to return. Love Manzanita!

Gray Whale Cove Allows Pets

We have always enjoyed our stay at Gray Whale Cove. This is our third time there. The yard is great for our dog and the kitchen is well stocked. The king bed mattress has seen better days.

Dog Friendly House

We enjoyed our stay. It was nice having a fully fence patio/yard to let the dog out in the mornings and while we ate dinner on the deck. House was in easy walking distance to beach and village.

Manzanita Four Night Stay

This is a lovely small home in Manzanita in a quiet and walkable neighborhood. A leisurely 10 minute walk will get you 'downtown' and a 15 minute walk to the beach. House is comfortable, well equipped, with wonderful outdoor seating. Or stay indoors with the cozy gas fireplace. Had a friend come stay for one night too. Plenty of room. Loved how peaceful it all was! 'Move in' ready!

The neighborhood was quiet. Our dog enjoyed the backyard, since she was able to be off leash.

Gray Whale Cove

We spent another wonderful time at the Gray Whale Cove! Not only were we so impressed with the garden, but how clean and well appointed the property is. Such a lovely environment and great location, I barely used my car all week. Looking forward to returning with my dog in the future.

Great location

Home was true to the description and most pictures. Good location and nice areas to relax outside with new outdoor furniture in some cases. It was a home with character. Kitchen well equipped for our purposes, except glass wine glasses.

December in Manzanita

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gray Whale Cove. The home is cute and cozy. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in Manzanita. Quiet neighborhood. Loved being able to walk to town or the beach. We'd definitely stay here again for future visits to the coast.

Lovely home

Beautiful, warm decor, fully stocked kitchen, best back yard of any place we’ve ever stayed. Location can’t be beat, near beach, groceries, eateries, coffee. Slight glitch in door lock brought immediate response. Fireplace produces stunning effects. Furniture and beds very comfortable

Great, Little Place!

Manzanita is my happy place. I love the beach, shops, restaurants, farmer's market, the quiet and the roar of the ocean. This home is close to everything. It is well-stocked and clean. Everything worked. It was quiet. I have a small dog and I appreciated the fenced backyard, although part of that fence is an old door you have to put out on the deck. It served the purpose because my dog isn't very big. The backyard is very nicely landscaped and would be a great spot to sit and relax, if you have the time. Our visit was only 2 nights. With only two bedrooms and one bathroom, it isn't meant for a crowd. For my sister and me, it was perfect.

Nice Beach House

This is the second year that I've stayed in this home and found it to be very comfortable. Love the backyard and all the flowers. The kitchen is well appointed and there was never anything that we needed that wasn't found in the home.

Nice quiet neighborhood

Smaller home suitable for my husband and I, but would seem small for a family. Nicely stocked kitchen. Would have appreciated some jigsaw puzzles or additional board games for those rainy days.

Another great getaway at Gray Whale Cove

My husband and I have stayed at the Gray Whale Cove before and it’s always a nice time. The house is bright, airy and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils if you want to cook. The house has a television in the living room and a television in one of the bedrooms. The backyard is lovely with outdoor furniture to sit on and it’s quiet and peaceful. Manzanita is a special place and there are nice shops and restaurants in town. The beach is absolutely beautiful and with each day that arrives the sky continues to change in color. Kendra A Portland, OR
