Great Family Time

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Surfwatcher. We had a family vacation with our adult children and we were thrilled with the size of the communal space to visit and cook meals. Manzanita is a beautiful town and we loved walking into town. Mike is great host!

Best place on Nehalem Bay

The house is laid out very well for families with 3 generations. Laundry room right from back door. All the rooms are nice size. We enjoyed Nehalem beach so much every day and watched the sunsets from there. We walked into Manzanita on the beach for coffee and pastries in the mornings. So close to great state parks, beaches, crabbing, hiking. The best

Surfwatcher Beach House Fun

The Surfwatcher is a great beach house about a 100 yard walk from the beach at Manzanita. A perfect house for our group of 6 including 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 young grandchildren (ages 8 and 5). The was well equipped, and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Cannon Beach is about a 20 minute drive north with Haystack Rock and lots of restaurants. Several nice beaches between the house and Cannon Beach. Lots of fun places to go and enjoy the outdoors. We will definitely try to stay at the Surfwatcher again.
