Cozy Manzanita beach bungalow just across from the sand, this charming Caretaker’s Bungalow offers ocean proximity, walkable access to town, and a warm, relaxed coastal feel—perfect for a slower, more comfortable stay on the Oregon Coast.
⸻
Located just across from Manzanita Beach, this inviting two-bedroom bungalow makes it easy to slip into beach life. Morning walks along the sand, coffee with the ocean nearby, and evenings back by the fire—it’s all right here, without needing to go far.

Inside, the home feels calm, light-filled, and welcoming. The living space is centered around a cozy fireplace, making it an especially nice place to settle in after a day outside—whether that’s coming in from the beach on a sunny afternoon or warming up after a classic Oregon Coast rainy day.

The layout is simple and comfortable, ideal for couples or small groups looking for a place that feels easy and lived-in in the best way. The kitchen and dining area are set up for relaxed meals at home, while town is just a short walk away if you’d rather head out for coffee, dinner, or a stroll through Manzanita’s local shops.

Both bedrooms are designed with comfort in mind, offering a restful place to recharge after full days at the beach. It’s the kind of home where you can slow down, unplug a bit, and settle into the rhythm of the coast.

Step outside, and the beach is just moments away—close enough to hear the ocean and feel part of it, while still enjoying a quiet, tucked-in setting.

If you’re looking for a cozy Manzanita rental near the beach—something simple, comfortable, and full of that classic coastal charm—the Caretaker’s Bungalow is a guest favorite for good reason.

This is also a pet-friendly Manzanita rental, so your dog can join you for beach walks, town strolls, and relaxed days by your side.

** A FEW HELPFUL NOTES BEFORE YOU BOOK

We like to keep things clear and easy—especially since VRBO doesn’t always make policies obvious.

During booking, you’ll be shown our Rental Agreement outlining policies, house details, and expectations. Feel free to review and reach out with any questions before confirming your stay. You will be required to sign our Rental Agreement before your stay. By booking your stay, you will have agreed to the VRBO and Rental Agreement policies.

PETS
Dogs are welcome. Just include the number of pets when booking so we can get everything set up. A per-pet fee applies. If pets aren’t included at booking, we’ll follow up to add them.

CANCELLATION POLICY
VRBO may show this property as “No Refund,” but that’s a platform limitation. Most stays include a full refund up to 90 days before arrival, but it is seasonal. Our busy summer season has the strictest cancellation policy. These policies are noted in our Rental Agreement, which you will be shown before booking. Please reach out anytime if you’d like details before booking.

OCCUPANCY
The Caretakers Bungalow sleeps 4. Three pets maximum. Two cars maximum. No RVs, Campers, Trailers, etc. allowed. This is mandated by the County. Contact us with questions or exception requests.

SCHEDULING
Fridays and Saturdays are typically booked together unless arranged ahead of time.

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE COAST
Photos reflect a moment in time, but the Oregon Coast is always changing—sand levels, vegetation, and even how the beach looks can shift with the seasons and tides. That’s part of what makes this stretch of coastline so special.
