Views and property were amazing. The house was well stocked, clean, and the pool table was a hit for the older kids. The location was quiet, and a short walk/drive to the beach.
The house and location were absolutely beautiful--perfectly located near the beach and the town. We appreciate the easy and thorough communication. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing with us, Eileen!
The Purcell House has one of the most gorgeous views on the Oregon Coast! The house is comfortable and well equipped; the yard is large and great for games and the beach is just down the road. It was the perfect setting for our family get together.
The views are even better in person. Easy arrival and check out. Manzanita is a great quiet little town just south of some amazing hiking tails and look outs in Oswald West State Park. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you for sharing.

This is an amazing property with spectacular views! We enjoyed the coziness of the house, location, and the great updates to it. Master is beautiful with the two balconies. Highly recommend. The only problem is you will miss the view terribly after you leave! :-)

Beautiful mid-century house with ocean views from every room. The first half of our trip was rainy and gray but the views were still gorgeous. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Bathrooms were probably the most worn down but they were clean. Management was responsive, quick, and friendly.

It was incredible hosting you, ! Glad you enjoyed everything!
The house was very neat and orderly.. We needed a few essentials which we bought and left for the next guest. The views and sounds of ocean were wonderful. All the lawns/land surrounding the house was wonderful.. no cramped in feeling. Loved the deer in the morning and the sunsets at night. We all loved it and want to return.

The most gorgeous, private setting I have ever found on the Oregon Coast! This is retro luxury in the most perfect of settings! What a great place to relax and enjoy the phenomenal Oregon Coast. Perfect for a large group and affordable if splitting the cost between couples.

The pictures make this house look amazing, in reality this house is a dream. From the location to the furniture, the views and the amenities- this house cannot be beat. For a large group, there is plenty of room to have your “space”. For smaller groups it has its intimate settings for relaxation and family time. Sterling Cooper would boastfully call this place home.
We are definitely planning our return visit.

This is a lovely and comfortable home with great views from all windows. The grounds are beautifully maintained. It is somewhat of a destination home...close to Manzanita and 13 miles from Cannon Beach. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. This is a wonderful escape.

This is a beautifully landscaped property and well-kept mid-century modern home. Best supplied kitchen we have ever found, tasteful artwork, great bedroom arrangement plus plenty of living space. Adults loved it that the TV was in the basement - NOT the living room. Well stocked game and puzzle cupboard. Though it was a short hike to the beach and required a short drive into town for groceries, we all found this property to be nearly perfect for our family of 13 - from just turned one year to almost 70. Pricey, but, in this case, absolutely worth it. We certainly got what we paid for!
