Spectacular setting

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.

Views from every room

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.

Birthday celebration at the beach

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.

Pictures Don't do this place justice.

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.

Amazing

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!

Beautiful location and views, comfortable large ranch house

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Extraordinary views in many directions. Very nice property. There are neighbors but you don't really see them at all. House is kind of 1950s/1960s style decorations but in very good shape. Note to property management company: Using that Hospitality app was mostly just an annoyance. It sent all kinds of messages that were bothersome/intrusive on a vacation. But I had trouble getting response when I did have small issues/questions. I'd suggest skipping the app and providing an email address, and checking it regularly.

magnificent private location

Upon entering this home, we were awestruck that we were going to be able to enjoy it for our 10 days. The deck affords views of the beach, ocean, and sunsets. The home was comfortable and we felt like royalty to be able to stay here. That table in the feature photo was a favorite place to sit for games, sipping a beverage, and views. We loved our stay.
