Recently, my extended family and I reunited in Manzanita, and luckily chose to stay at Madrona Ridge. We are thrilled we did! It was such a wonderful home, clean, and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed and more. There were lots-of extra towels, blankets, sheets, pillows, and throw blankets for inside or out. There were many sleeping options, even some roll-a-way beds. There was plenty of hot water for everyone's showers and baths. The home's location is in a very quiet neighborhood, and above street level, so it was very private. It was above the tsunami hazard zone, and just knowing that was rather comforting. The hot tub was privately located and a joy to relax in, especially with the water jets and lighting. The kitchen was very attractive, had new appliances, and was well-equipped and organized. There were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc.
It wasn't exactly perfect beach weather while we were there, but during sunbreaks the living room was flooded with light, and we were able to enjoy the warmth of the sun deck, even though it was December. Otherwise, we gathered around the cozy gas fireplace. We had a fantastic family reunion, and all agreed: we'll return next year, but hopefully sooner!
