Life's a Beach offers a tri-level floor plan with four bedrooms and two and a half baths. On the top floor, the main queen bedroom offers an en-suite bath with a shower and double vanity. The other third floor bedroom has twin bunks for the kids. On the bottom level, there are two more bedrooms; one with a comfortable king bed and the other with a cozy queen. A shared full bathroom with washer and dryer, tub/shower combo, and a double vanity is situated between these bedrooms.
On the second story, the well-thought-out kitchen comes fully equipped for that chef in the family. Have a seat in one of the stools situated on the opposite side of the counter to keep them company while they prepare your meal. Some of the new finishes include stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Just around the corner from the kitchen, the large dining table seats up to eight. A sliding glass door leads to the back deck, which overlooks a serene wooded area.
The living room is about seven steps up from the kitchen and dining areas. Curl up on the sofa with a good book on a rainy coastal day or enter your Netflix account information and stream a movie on the flat-screen TV. There are also games and toys in this room to keep the kids busy.
The garage is a great place to store your bikes, beach toys, or anything else you don't want to be left outside. There is also a gas BBQ in the garage for guests to use when the weather permits outdoor grilling.

According to our city/county permits, tents are not allowed, and any trailers, RVs, or campers must not be occupied or used while parked at the homes. The occupancy limit of each home may not be exceeded at any time. This means total occupancy includes non-occupant visitors. If you anticipate visitors dropping by, we ask you to rent a larger home.

We loved our time at Life's a Beach
Tamie Schilling
We loved our time at Life's a Beach. Great location, short walk to beach and Manzanita Links golf. House was super clean, furniture is clean and well kept. We thought the beds were comfortable too. The kitchen is well equipped, even the pots and pans are newer and in great shape. We would rent this house again!
Great place for the cost and location
Eric

Thank you for such an amazing stay! This rental had everything for our families’ needs and wants. The location was convenient and easy to find. Close to downtown and beach access.

Great place to stay, super clean and quiet
Philip
Great place to stay, super clean and quiet.
We couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience with this house
Jennifer
We couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience with this house. They were extremely responsive and helpful when we asked to book one day before arriving! The location is perfect- out of the wind but one block from the beach and walkable to town. The house was clean and big - the multi level setup allowed for two families with dogs to not be on top of one another. We loved it!
My new favorite Manzanita rental house
Sarah
My new favorite Manzanita rental house! It is so charming, clean, and comfortable, plus even better than it looks in photos. I love the location - short walking distance to the beach and Manzanita Links. Great amenities, well stocked, and the host’s communication was excellent. I have already recommended it to friends and family, and hope to return soon.
This was a great place for a getaway for a group of friends, including one couple's small child
Lauren
This was a great place for a getaway for a group of friends, including one couple's small child. Plenty of room, quick walk to the beach, and a well stocked kitchen. Wonderful to be able to have our dogs with us too!
We lived our time at this condo

Great stay
Merrin
Great stay! Everything was as promised in the listing. We enjoyed the proximity to both the beach and town. House was well maintained and the beds were comfortable! Definitely recommend.
Beautifully decorated home 5 mn from the beach and 15 mn walk from the center of cute Manzanita, OR
Marielle
Beautifully decorated home 5 mn from the beach and 15 mn walk from the center of cute Manzanita, OR. 4BR, perfect for a large group. Welcomes dogs. Managed by a vacation rental company so welcome is professional yet not as personal as with a private host. You will be asked to call to confirm your reservation. Quite a list of do's and don't's. Note: many stairs, not suitable for persons with mobility issues. A noisy dehumidifier in the downstairs bathroom.
