Shorebird ~ MCA 1678 - Manzanita, OR

We enjoyed our stay, but the mgmt company wasn’t my favorite. Complicated checkin and they don’t really care about your time. They also made a point of telling me i should have booked with them directly to save $ paid to VRBO. The dishwasher rack was broken and kitchen sink leaked a good volume of water unless you turn it into an exact positing. So with kids coming and going every trip through the kitchen means you stop to find that sweet spot. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Our family of four, plus dog, found this townhome to be very clean and well maintained. The three floor layout creates a feeling of spaciousness by allowing us to spread out. The main floor deck was a great place to take in the sun and the sound of the ocean. It was lovely to only be a half block from the beach and a short walk along a foot/bike path to reach downtown Manzanita.

We really liked this place, great location, the home was in good condition and very clean, and well stocked with kitchen utensils, pots and pans. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

We rented this spot for three people, and it worked extremely well. The townhouse was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our long weekend. The entertainment system is nice, the furniture is much better than most beach rentals, and the layout of the place is great for 3-6 people. Any more than that would be tight. Our townhouse at home is three levels, so the stairs didn`t bother us, but the house even has an elevator that Sunset would probably turn on for you if you have real trouble with stairs. The kitchen is modern and spacious, and the place is lighter and brighter than some of the pictures indicate. While some complained about the kitchen equipment, this is a rental property and you can`t expect All Clad pans. Yes, the non-stick pans are a little scratched, but we are decent cooks and made do with the other pans and the place is pretty well stocked. Bring a couple of really sharp knives, tongs and a fish spatula and you`ll be in good shape.

My only issue is with the way Sunset handles early check in requests. We booked this three weeks ahead and asked for an early check-in if it wasn`t rented the days before. Even though it wasn`t rented for at least 4 days before our arrival, the earliest we could check in was 2:00. Unless we wanted to pay an extra $100. It would have been easy for Sunset to schedule their day of arrival property check for the AM and have the place ready for us by Noon or 12:30. Using COVID as an excuse for poor customer service seems to be popular these days, but if it were me I would use it as a way to distinguish yourself for excellent customer service instead of being snotty to customers on the phone. Asking for an extra $100 even though your customer only gets half a day (or less if the check in is after noon) for their full day rate is ridiculous. I`ve rented from a number of rental agencies in Manzanita, and the only reason I might not return here is Sunset`s poor customer service.

Enjoyed our stay at Shorebird. I was pleasantly surprised how clean the home is. I felt like I was staying at a friend`s nice and cozy beach home. Nothing felt or looked `rental/vacation home` and it was furnished nicely. The radiant heaters at the ceilings took some time to warm up but once they did they were very toasty. The gas fireplace puts out a lot of heat as well. This is a nice spot hidden away but very close to the beach.

Pros: comfortable beds and bedding, nice furnishings, set up for satellite and streaming, quiet, appreciated the 2 dog sheets for furniture, covered carport, ability to charge electric car on 110v. Cons: all Teflon skillets stacked in each other and therefore badly scratched and unhealthy to use with no other option (our pancake breakfast got scrapped due to this), some kitchen utensils melted and bordering unusable, the worst paper products I`ve seen (TP, paper towels), 3rd floor bedroom/bathroom gorgeous but be prepared for those 2 flights of stairs, 2nd floor bathroom sink very slow to drain, carpets a bit dirty. `Beach` towels would be helpful to clean one`s feet upon entry.

We had an enjoyable stay with our daughter, grandchild and dog. Beds were comfortable, and we had enough private and common space. The kitchen was nicely appointed and great to cook in. The `girls` enjoyed the roomy and clean jetted tub. The sound of the surf soothed our sleep. Kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were all in order. There was dog hair and there were a couple of carpet stains from some previous pets- but that goes with the territory. Thanks for a restorative stay- we love Manzanita and Nehalem!

Shorebird worked extremely well for our family of four and guest. The layout was perfect especially for older kids (teens) with secondary bedrooms on first level. The master suite was fabulous and provided soothing away space with spa like features, ocean and mountain views. Everything was well appointed from the kitchen, to the deck with propane supplied grill, to the flat panel TVs, comfy furniture and beautiful design touches throughout the townhome, and close proximity to beach and town. We will be back! A++++ This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

We stayed at Shorebird for 3 nights before the July 4th weekend with our 3 year old Golden Retriever. Parking next to the front door was great, and we appreciated having the foyer on the lower level to wipe our dogs paws and leave our shoes after coming inside.

The kitchen was well-stocked, living area with TV was cozy, and we loved the air flow at night and ability to relax in the master suite on the upper level. It`s about a mile walk along the beach or the road into town, which is perfect in the morning to let the dog run along the beach and then grab breakfast in town.

So far this is the favorite place we`ve stayed along the Oregon Coast, and we would definitely come back. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Our second stay at this condo in the recent 7 months and we love it. We would definitely go again. Some peak ocean views from lower floors and then a great one from Master bedroom. King size bed is a sleep # and very comfortable. Good location and 4 houses from the beach. Well equipped and a great vacation home.

Great house - perfect for our 3 family units. Well equipped kitchen allowed us to make some amazing meals, comfortable living room, and big master on top floor. Best part was being so close to the beach - just a half a block away! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
