Items of note supplied for your stay:

• Coffee pot and filters

 

Not supplied for your stay:

 

PLEASE NOTE: This is a pet-free vacation home for our guests with severe allergies. If you're looking for a pet-friendly vacation house, please check our other three vacation rentals. Guests in violation of this policy will be charged a $500 fee to be used towards an extra deep cleaning.

 

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.

Items of interest:

 

BBQ. There is a propane BBQ on the upper 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.

 

Bathroom Heat. The upper floor bathroom has an in-floor heating system. Turn on by sliding the lower horizontal button to the right.  These gradually heat up, so if it’s cold, please turn them on early and keep them on. For nice, toasty toes, set at 69º - 70º.

 

Do not set the heat above 72º. There is a possibility of breaking the tiles.

 

The other two bathrooms have conventional electric heating thermostats.

 

Bunk Beds. The house has three 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.

Doors - Living Room French Doors - North. If you are having difficulty locking the door mechanism, please refer to this video. To lock the operating door, pull up on the handle, then turn the lock. If this is not working, make sure the non-locking door has been secured in place by closing it and then pulling up on the handle. Please reach out to us if you're still having difficulties.

 

Dining.  The dining room table may be enlarged for 10 guests. The extra leaves are stored inside the table and can be accessed by pulling the table apart and unfolding the leaves. Extra dining chairs are located on the main floor.

 

Extra dining table leaves and chairs used by the guests must be replaced in their storage areas before departure.

 

Electrical Panel.  Located in the southwest closet of the first-floor bathroom.

Emergency Preparedness. Please review the Emergency Preparedness Information. The information is the upper kitchen southwest drawer next to the large window. The coastal area is in a designated Tsunami zone, and it is important to be familiar with procedures.

 

Also, take note of the flashlights in the drawer to the left. They are for emergency use only.

 

Fireplace. There is a fireplace located in the living room. The damper must be opened before using the fireplace (up is open, down is closed). Extra firewood is near the main entrance. Trash and other foreign objects must not be burned in the fireplace.

 

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.

 

Additionally, the floor has been damaged by guests moving the furniture to other places. Do note you will be charged for floor repairs due to damage caused by moving furniture during your stay.

 

Hot Water Heater. Located in the northwest closet of the first-floor bathroom.

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

• Four burners ceramic range with convection oven

• Cooking utensils provided

• Full-size refrigerator without ice maker

• Dishwasher

• Microwave

• Electric coffee maker with paper filters

• Tea kettle

• Blender

• Crock-Pot

 

* 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 full-sized washer and dryer are located in the laundry closet on the first floor.

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.

Quiet Hours.  Local Quiet Hour ordinances are mandated at 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.

 

Telephone.  The phone number for the house landline is (503) 368-4616. It is located in the southern queen bedroom on the second floor.  Any calls charged during your stay will be charged to your credit card within the applicable billing cycle.

 

Television. There are two televisions in the house. You may find the channel line up here. The one on the second floor in the great room has cable. Use the silver remote, located on top of the cable box on the mantle, to control the cable and television.

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 can can be taken UP 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 can 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.
