When you search beach vacation rentals, Oregon usually conjures sunny days and toes in the sand. Yet ask any local and they’ll tell you a secret: Manzanita shines brightest when the weather turns wild. Mist rolls in, waves crash harder, and the coast feels raw and alive. Thanks to the cozy touches in our Sunset to Sunset homes, you can lean into that mood without sacrificing comfort. Let’s talk fireplaces, game rooms, covered decks, and the unbeatable thrill of sea-watching from a picture window.
Fireplaces: Your Personal Front-Row Seat to Storm Season
Few things beat the soundtrack of a Pacific storm—except pairing it with the crackle of a fire. Many of our rentals feature gas, wood-burning, or electric fireplaces tucked into living rooms or primary suites.
- Why you’ll love it:
- Instant warmth after a brisk beach walk.
- Ambient light for board-game nights and long chats.
- Perfect excuse to sample Oregon Pinot while wrapped in a blanket.
Don’t worry about lugging firewood if your place has a wood stove; our team can point you to local suppliers. Flip a switch for gas units, strike a match for wood, and let nature’s drama play out beyond the glass.
Game Rooms: Built-In Fun for Gray Days
Rainy afternoon? Challenge accepted. Several larger homes—like Haven, Sea Esta, or Treasure Hideaway—come stocked with ping-pong tables, foosball, air-hockey, or even vintage arcade games. Add a Smart TV plus plush sectional, and you’re set for friendly tournaments or movie marathons.
- Traveling with couples or a friend group? Break into teams and crown a vacation champ.
- Bringing kids? Game rooms burn energy when beach sprints are on hold.
Either way, nobody’s uttering the dreaded “I’m bored” while clouds pass overhead.
Covered Decks: Fresh Air Without the Drizzle
Oregonians don’t let a little sprinkle ruin a good hang. That’s why so many Sunset to Sunset homes boast covered decks or patios. Picture this: morning coffee steaming in your hands while rain taps a gentle rhythm on the roof. Or twilight happy hour with string lights glowing, grill sizzling, and the scent of sea air swirling around you.
- Perks you’ll notice right away:
- Stay outside longer—no dash indoors at the first drop.
- Claim an all-weather reading nook with a fleece throw.
- Enjoy coastal views without fogging up your camera lens from inside.
Add in an outdoor fireplace or gas BBQ and you’ve got year-round al-fresco vibes dialed.
Picture Windows: Nature’s HD Channel
Want front-row seats to wave watching without braving the wind? Many of our beach vacation rentals, Oregon style, feature floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Pacific. Slide into that cushy armchair, nursing cocoa or craft beer, and gaze as swells rise, gulls swoop, and sunsets paint the sky in electric color.
During whale-migration months (roughly December–January and March–May), keep binoculars handy. Grays and humpbacks surface offshore, often visible from living rooms with the right orientation—and our reservation team loves recommending properties with prime viewing angles.
