Old Fashioned Hospitality at the San Dune Inn

The Quaint & Charming San Dune Inn

Located on the northern coastline of Oregon and with only 800 residents, lies the sleepy town of Manzanita, Oregon.   But don’t let that fool you, as this is actually what makes Manzanita a little piece of paradise.

Manzanita, Spanish for ‘little apple,’ is located about 2 hours west of Portland and lies to the north of Tillamook.  With seven miles of spectacular sandy beaches, it’s no wonder Manzanita has “the third most photographed scenery in Oregon,” according to VisittheOregonCoast.com.

One of the great places to stay while visiting Manzanita is the charming San Dune Inn owned by the ever-so-friendly and knowledgable, Brian & Billie Hines.  Only a few blocks away from those gorgeous beaches, and with only a handful of rooms, this unassuming motel offers a ton of fun for guests, with their compliments, of course.

There are beach chairs, board games, videos, and bicycles, which are great for exploring the town at your leisure.  The San Dune Inn is extremely dog-friendly as well and so the Hines happily provide dog treats, pooper scooper bags, and even doggie beach towels.

As an added bonus, each room offers free broadband wireless, and for added luxury, all of the bed linens are individually hand ironed.  In addition, this smoke-free motel features full kitchens with a microwave, in-room coffee, a VCR, hairdryer, and a BBQ area for guests.
