Charming Oceanfront Cottage

Items of note supplied for your stay.

 

• Linens (including towels)

• Hand, shower, dishwasher, and dish detergent soaps

• Coffee pot and filters

 

Not supplied for your stay.

 

Beach Supplies. You'll want to bring your fun items with you, such as Beach Toys, Towels, Blankets, Chairs, and Campfire Utensils.

 

Baby Equipment. As our own kids are teens, we don't have any personal recommendations for rentals. We have had guests use this Baby Equipment Rental supplier.

 

Firewood. Due to a local shortage of delivered firewood (a cold winter plus a more lucrative market selling bundled firewood to tourists), we cannot guarantee firewood will be available for your stay.

 

Therefore, guests are responsible for bringing their own firewood for use during their stay.

 

Firewood is sold in many places in the area. You may find a good supply at both the Manzanita Fresh/IGA grocery store on Hwy. 101, or The Little Apple grocery store on the main street of Manzanita (Laneda).

 

Two other options are the Firewood stand across from the Urgent Care Clinic on Hwy. 101 at Nehalem Creek Road or the self serve stand at the Nehalem Landing Storage facility on Hwy. 101 on the way to Nehalem.

Other Items of Interest.

 

BBQ. There is a propane BBQ on the deck, available seasonally (typically late April through September, depending on the weather conditions).  Our BBQ is on an honor-based system. Guests are responsible for keeping it clean and cleaning after usage. Unfortunately, our cleaning service does not clean BBQs. Please shut off the propane tank valve between uses.

 

Bunk Beds. The house has two sets of twin-sized bunk beds. The use of the upper bunks necessitates using your own judgment, especially for children or those prone to sleepwalking.

Coffee. The house is equipped with Mr. Coffee type drip coffee maker. The house also has lots of coffee filters, unless they were accidentally packed up by the previous group, which has not yet happened! We also have a coffee grinder on site.

 

Dining. The dining room table may be enlarged. The extra leaves are located in the master bedroom closet. Extra dining table leaves used by the guests must be replaced in their storage areas before departure.

 

Fire Pit. Please be prepared with water in case of an emergency. There is a hose located by the fire pit. To turn the water on, you will find a diverter to the outdoor water faucet to the right of the front porch. Please turn on the water when using the fire pit. The nozzle at the end of the hose will control the water. Use water to put out the fire after you've used the fire pit. Turn the water off when finished using the fire pit.

 

Please do restack the blue chairs at the fire pit after using them.  If they are not stacked, we run the risk of them blowing away in high winds!

 

Furniture.  Our guests have been feeling very comfortable of late and have been moving furniture during their stay.  Please help us keep costs low by not moving the furniture around, or at least please return it to where you found it.

 

Moving the furniture means we have to hire people to come in and move it back, as it is beyond the scope of the cleaning service. If this is the case, you will be charged for the cost of that service.

 

Kitchen. Our kitchen is fully equipped with the following amenities*:

• Ceramic Cooktop

• Oven

• Cooking utensils provided

• Full-size refrigerator without ice cube maker

• Dishwasher

• Microwave

• Electric coffee maker with paper filters

* We try our best to maintain stock on these items, but occasionally they become missing or broken between guests. Therefore, we cannot guarantee these items on-premises.

 

Outdoor Propane grill available seasonally, late April - late September (weather dependent). Please note we cannot guarantee the availability of a grill, a full propane tank, or the condition of the grill. Cleaning the grill is the responsibility of the guests using it. The cleaning service does not clean outdoor grills.

 

Laundry. A washer and dryer are located in the laundry closet next to the main bathroom.

 

Linens. Beds have been made, and towels have been set out for you. We do not supply beach towels. House towels may not be taken to the beach.

 

Propane Tanks. They are checked regularly by our service. Occasionally, guests leave the tank valves open and the tanks empty. Our service's regular hours end at 5:00 pm, so if you definitely need the tanks for the evening, please double-check them in plenty of time for us to have them refilled before the evening. The service does not come out after hours for propane tanks.

If you absolutely need propane after hours, the Shell Station on Hwy. 101 south of Manzanita fills propane.

Parking. This house is licensed for three cars, maximum. Guests must park in the driveway and may not overhang into the street. Further, the local ordinances do not allow street parking for overnight rental guests. They are ticketing for parking overhang and street parking!

 

Quiet Hours.  Local Quiet Hour ordinances are mandated from 10:00 pm - 8:00 am. You run the risk of paying a steep fine if violating this ordinance.

 

Smoking is not allowed inside the premises, whether tobacco or legal cannabis. If smoking outside, all cigarettes, etc., must be picked up and safely disposed of.

 

Television.  The House is equipped with a Roku TV. Guests sign in after first creating a Guest Account, which disappears the date and time designated by you. You may then use all your own favorite streaming accounts, knowing your information will be wiped from the system when you depart. For instructions to set up your account, hit the black ROKU button at the bottom of the page. Or, find instructions here.

Trash. *Trash is picked up on Monday morning. The trash can is located at the northwest corner of the property. For guests staying through Monday, please deposit garbage late Sunday evening. If staying less than seven nights, please use the proportion related to the days you're staying in consideration to others.

 

Guests using more space in the trash cans than allotted may be charged for additional garbage, with funds deducted from the Good Guest Deposit

 

The garbage service will come move the cans - guests don’t have to move the cans curbside.

 

IMPORTANT: For Monday morning, please park so the cans can be taken down the driveway. The service requires 6' of walkway at the north side of the driveway. If this doesn't work for you, please move the garbage cans to the curb on Sunday night. The service comes early Monday morning.

 

All garbage must be taken out to the provided garbage cans before departure.  No garbage may be left outside the cans.

 

Unfortunately, there is no recycling collection in Manzanita.  Guests may take their recycling home to place in their bins or may stop at the local recycling center (Cartm) to leave their recyclables there for processing (without charge).

RVs and Other Campers. These are not allowed on the property without prior permission. The only situation where they would be allowed is where they're used for transportation, not overnight accommodation. Outside hookups and electrical cords to such campers are not allowed under any circumstances. Guests in violation of this policy will be subject to fines.
