Manzanita Oceanfront Inn

A Fresh New Chapter for Sunset Surf Motel

Manzanita is a gem, and we’re so excited to become part of this wonderful community and breathe new life into the Sunset Surf Motel.

As of October 10, 2025, Sunset Surf Motel is now part of the Escape Lodging family. To bring our vision to life, we are temporarily closed this winter for a full renovation of all guest rooms and common spaces, along with a rebrand that celebrates whimsy, warmth, and the magic of the Oregon Coast.

Reopening in 2026

A refreshed stay is on the horizon, with reservations opening soon and a warm return to the coast.

When we reopen this summer, it will be as the Manzanita Oceanfront Inn—featuring refreshed accommodations, thoughtful amenities, and an elevated guest experience that feels both new and nostalgically familiar. Reservations for arrivals this summer and beyond will open in mid-March, 2026, and a booking engine will be added to this website as soon as it becomes available. 

If you’ve already reached out about prior reservations, we will contact you directly as soon as reservations open. We’ll also send an email announcement to everyone who has subscribed to our mailing list. Feel welcome to sign up below!  

We’re grateful for the support and can’t wait to welcome you back to this beloved oceanfront retreat, where the spirit of Manzanita shines through every detail.

A Beloved Place, Carefully Renewed

Staying true to the spirit of this place, its history, and the community that surrounds it.

We know this property holds a special place in the hearts of so many, and we are deeply committed to honoring that legacy. The Manzanita Oceanfront Inn will remain a lodging-only property with no onsite restaurant—staying true to its roots. We’re also working closely with the City of Manzanita and the neighborhood to ensure our exterior plans respect the character and spirit of this beloved location.

Pet-Friendly Rooms

No need to leave your best friend behind—Manzanita adventures are better together! We offer designated pet-friendly rooms with easy beach access, so you and your pup can go from room to sand in no time.

Bring your furry sidekick along for the fun—up to two pets per room are welcome. A $25 nightly fee per pet applies. Please contact the front desk to ensure your reservation is in a pet-friendly room.
