Nice cozy house a few steps from the beach

Nice lawn for outdoor dinning, well equipped and nice back deck. Walking distance to town and the beach but away from the crowds. Variety of board games for kids and adults

Perfect Beach House

My wife and I stayed here with my 8 year old daughter. The location doesn't get better between the immediate beach access to a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Just the right size for a small family and the beds were really comfortable. It seems rather sparse but it really has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We loved the outdoor shower for washing off after the beach. Would love to stay here again.

Great location, everything you need

Wonderful stay! All the basics covered, and right by the beach. Definitely an older house with character, but clean and functional and updated touches are very nice. We had three adults and one toddler in our party -- a bit squished but with a deck outside and so much within walking distance, it worked.

Great location

The place was a perfect size for our little family. The kitchen was a little rustic let’s just say, but the rest of the house was in good working order. The back yard looked like it had a new deck put in and it was pretty nice to sit on to chill out in the sun. The location was great; just a couple blocks from the main drag which is convenient if you need to grab a burrito from the Mexican restaurant or some eggs from the mini mart. The beach access was one of the highlights for me. Just a quick walk to the beach.

Exactly as advertised

100 steps from beautiful beach—loved watching windsurfers and sailboarders. A short walk to downtown restaurants and grocery store (which makes great sandwiches and offers hot food selections at Deli.). Mom and 3 college students used this cottage as a base for hiking and beachcombimg adventures. Clean and comfortable with easy check-in. Small backyard deck off master bedroom was unexpected bonus. I recommend this cottage without reservation.

The location of the Mermaid House is an easy walk to the main street with grocery, restaurants, and shopping. You can stand in the front yard and see and hear the ocean. The home has all the basic amenities for cooking, and the old time frigidaire oven and stove works well and was fun to cook on.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Mermaid House was cute, clean, and very close to the beach. I've visited Manzanita a few times and stayed in a few places, but this was the best location – just a few blocks' walk to Laneda Ave., and literally half a block to a path that goes to the beach. The cottage isn't large but it's comfortable and pleasant. I'd be happy to return.

Ideal for sunsets, beach strolls, and getting into Manzanita

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location.

Reviewer Comments: The stay was great, and we felt very at home despite a later than traditional check in (10pm). House was easy to find, easy to move around in, and comfortable for myself and my partner. Stove was older and took a while to cook things on certain burners, oven also older, but for three nights, we had a lovely time.

Great small house in Manzanita. So fun!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in the Mermaid house. The location was perfect. A block to the beach and a couple of blocks to the downtown area. We have 2 year old twins and the house worked out perfectly for them. The house is simply decorated, not too fancy but also not junky. Easy to toddler-proof. An anti slip mat for in the tub would be a nice addition as well as a floor mat for getting out of the shower.

Cute cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The mermaid house has a lot of charm. It's very comfortable and clean. My two young children and I stayed a week and we loved walking to the beach, into town and to the park. The yard is nice to have also. It's definitely small, but we didn't mind. My two recommendations for the property are to get a new sofa and to put a screen/storm door on the front. That would help open the space up a little if you could leave the door open.

Obsessed with this Coastal Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rental properties in Manzanita, but needed over flow for a large family event. As an owner, I understand the challenges of creating a warm environment with the practicalities necessary for the rental market. This home is charming, has personal touches including historical informational about the area, a wonderful beachy feeling including a cool outdoor shower, wood paneling, new mattresses and towels, but above all, a perfect location. The cleaning team commented that it was especially easy to clean. I had to drag my husband away! We loved everything.
