Summary:

New construction on a dead-end street and close to everything! MCA #50370



The Space:

Waves on a Whim is a luxurious custom-built home one short block from the beach and even closer to the quaint main street of Laneda Avenue. Recently built in 2021, for family beach vacations and enjoying all that Manzanita has to offer. It is the perfect place for groups of up to 10 (max 8 adults) looking to spend time together on the beautiful Oregon Coast, no matter theweather.



The welcoming foyer is spacious enough for the whole family to escape the rain on wet days. Kick off your shoes, turn on the fireplace with the flip of a switch, and get cozy on the plush L-shaped leather sofa in the roomy living room. Offering elegant finishes and new KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, any chef will appreciate the fully stocked kitchen with plenty of natural light. Quartz countertops, sleek white cabinetry, and living plants lovingly cared for by the homeowner add to the appeal of this inviting space. The uncluttered dining area seats six at the table and four more at the island, with bar stools providing ample seating for guests.



The first-floor room with a queen-sized Murphy bed (made up on request) offers a quiet place for relaxing away from the other bedrooms and features a workspace where you can hook up your laptop or tablet to get some work done. Those with small children in tow will be grateful for the affixed safety gate at the bottom of the staircase.



The second-floor bunk room sleeps up to 5 people. Kids of all ages will delight in fun touches like the LED rope lights wound around the bunk stair railing. Littles can play “vacation rental office” at the sweet miniature desk built into the foot of the bed. Down the hallway is the primary bedroom with a giant king bed, wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and ensuite bathroom with a remote-controlled bidet. The buttery soft leather armchair and ottoman invite you to curl up with a good book and ignore the world for a while…



Upstairs, you’ll also find a full guest bathroom with a tub/shower combo and a laundry room boasting a state-of-the-art GE front-loading washer and dryer set. At the end of the hall, there’s a third bedroom with a comfortable queen bed and a flat-screen TV. Catch breathtaking views of Neahkahnie Mountain from the north-facing window and watch the sun go down over the Pacific on clear evenings.



Ride one of the available bikes to town for a strong cup of coffee each morning before taking a long stroll on Manzanita’s captivating 7-mile beach. Pick up some fresh local seafood to grill up on the gas BBQ in the backyard while your guests lounge and relish in one another’s company on the comfy outdoor furniture. Sorry, but no pets are allowed at Waves on a whim.



Walkable to all the delicious dining options and fun shops in town, Waves on a Whim will become a family favorite here in Manzanita!



Close proximity to Waves on a Whim is Carmel Cottage and Captains Hideaway. All on the same street.

    This beautiful home is in a perfect location, a 5 minute walk to the beach and even less time to downtown shopping and food. Well appointed home, quiet setting, we had a wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable time. Would not hesitate to book the home again. Thanks!

    We loved our stay at Waves on a Whim! Close to town and the beach with a great back yard for relaxing! The kitchen is well stocked to make cooking anything easy. Loved the warm water hose for rinsing off our sandy feet.

    It was hard to beat this house and location for a week at the Oregon coast. Arriving at the house was easy and the location is superb, five minute walk to the beach. The amenities from a stocked kitchen supply, lots of games and beach toys were all perfect for our families staying there. It easily accommodated the 3 families we had staying. A/C on the ground floor helped with the summer heat too. Only piece of feedback would be to add fans for all the upstairs rooms to handle warmer summer months. Would definitely consider staying here again and would highly recommend to other guests.
