If you're going to the stay at the beach, then stay ON THE BEACH in this wonderful family friendly beach house! Oceanfront and right on the sand! AND a fenced courtyard with 6 Adirondack chairs, fire pit and a rustic she-shed. An outside shower is located here too for washing off sandy feet.
Everything is easy access - beginning with a flat driveway and paved pathway to the front door. No worries about lugging luggage or supplies up long flights of stairs.
In warmer weather, simply settle into the 4 adirondack chairs on the back deck or step directly on to the sand with the kids to start playing with the sand toys!
If the weather is better for indoor play, big windows across the dining and great room let in the light and the sunsets while you relax on a comfy leather sectional and cozy up to a real wood fire in the fireplace. Flat screen tv, cable and free Netflix are at the ready.
The kitchen has newer appliances and is large enough to accommodate more than one cook. The large counter and barstools allow others to hang out and talk to the cooks. A generous round dining table welcomes family and friends to gather for meals and to play games.
When you are ready for sleep, the primary bedroom (KING bed and 2nd flatscreen tv) connects to the main bathroom. The second bedroom also has a queen bed. The third bedroom has a queen bed and another separate daybed/couch which is a twin bed (the house sleeps 7 people). The second bathroom, with a stall shower, has a door accessing the outside courtyard for easy clean up of sandy kids. That bathroom also houses a convenient stacked washer and dryer.
The former garage has been turned into a she-shed with French doors to the courtyard, an outside dining table, as well as a whimsical couch for relaxing while you grill on the charcoal BBQ.
Just a few blocks away (easy walking distance) is the charming downtown Manzanita with unique gift shops, a spa, the classic Sand Dune pub, trendy wine bar, convenient grocery store, and several good restaurants. A flat, paved walking and biking lane leads from the house directly to town. The local golf course is around the corner.
If you are a dog lover, you'll appreciate the dog friendly atmosphere of Manzanita and your well-behaved dog is welcome at the beach house too.
