The answer is yes - and we definitely found it here! So close to restaurants and the beach, but far enough that everything is peaceful and quiet. It doesn't get much better than this! The weather wasn't the best when we went to Manzanita, but we still had a great time. We got to enjoy the cozy fireplace and watch movies, we ate at restaurants that were a quick walk away. We still managed to go to the beach despite the cold rain and relax a bit. So many amenities and games inside the house and it honestly left us needing nothing. I'd stay here again and again!
