About this property

Enjoy the Oregon Coast rain or shine from this sweet spot on the Nehalem River. The cottage is located in a quiet clean RV park (Nehalem Shores) just a few minutes from good food, shopping and the beach. Great fishing on the river out your front door. The villages of Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler are nearby. The cottage is clean, light and bright with lots of windows so you can enjoy the river view and all the wildlife that goes alone with it (elk, sea lions, bald eagles and more). It's a great place to come home to after a day at the beach or a great spot to spend the day reading, relaxing and enjoying the river view. When the weather is rough at the beach our place is protected by trees. Enjoy fantastic fishing, paddle boarding or kayaking on the river, shopping nearby antique shops, wine tasting or kite flying...beachcombing...horse back riding...surfing...at Manzanita Beach. You'll love the cozy feel of this sweet little cottage along with the river and wildlife viewing from the front porch. Laundry services and free wi-fi are available and the locals are super friendly. All this just a short drive from Portland but well away from the busy tourist hubub. Great vacation spot and an excellent value!

Perfect!

We could not have asked for more. The beauty of the surroundings was stunning, and our little cabin by the river was perfect. To add to the experience the people there were so wonderful and welcoming. Peggy and Rick even had a camp fire for us to gather around the night before we left. On the way back we both agreed it was now the only place on the coast we wanted to go!

Perfect Homebase to Explore the Coast

This cozy cottage was very clean. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was stocked with all you need to cook at home, if you so choose. The view from the porch is the true selling pointless. We saw herons, a seal, and cormorants, along with fishing boats. We even saw a fisherman haul in a coho salmon! The community was very friendly. Our neighbor invited us to join his fire pit and we enjoyed the beautiful night. Units are very close to each other, and second floor sleeping has very low ceiling (think crawling on knees or bend at the waist stooping). We didn't need that space, so all was good. Highly recommend due to convenience to coastal beaches.

Cute and cozy

We were looking for a quiet getaway and this was perfect. The neighbors all around us were friendly and interesting. I can tell the people in this little park watch out for each other. The area is beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by PJ Swan

I grew up in Oregon and my husband is a transplant from New England. We both love the Oregon Coast with all the beautiful beaches, parks and hiking. It's a great place to go for a few days to relax, explore and generally enjoy our beautiful state. This photo is us taking a break from playing at Manzanita Beach.

Why they chose this property

We live in the high desert of Central Oregon where the sun shines a lot and we get very little rain. Driving over the mountains to the lush green coast feels delicious. We love how the cottage is protected from coastal winds when it's stormy and the quiet is such a treat compared to busy towns like Cannon Beach, Seaside and Lincoln City. The dogs love the beach too.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite things to have a fire on Manzanita beach as the sun sets. It's a relaxing way to end the day after kayaking, biking, shopping or whatever. We have a fire pit by the cottage too if the beach is too busy.
