(Manzanita, Oregon) – There s a bit of a rumor, or maybe it s a legend, going around that Manzanita is the “Banana Belt of the north Oregon coast.” It s talked about a little by locals, and it seems to have gathered a little more steam in recent years, but it feels like maybe that old north coast saga of spooky Bandage Man: it builds up in bits and pieces until someone debunks them.

On Manzanita s main drag, Laneda Ave., you ll find Sunset Vacation Rentals. While the office may be in the thick of Manzanita and its dense trees, SSVR – as they re sometimes known – has its rather imaginative touches running throughout the bay area and Rockaway Beach. Some 115 homes, in fact.
Sunset Vacation Rentals has some just inland in Nehalem, where the woodsy and river vibes take over, and temperatures in summer can jump closer to inland heatwave temps just by driving a few miles from the beaches. They ve got a couple as far north as a few miles south of Cannon Beach at Falcon Cove, a wild and untamed area where the rocks are famous for making weird, rattling noises.
