Manzanita has always been one of Oregon’s most peaceful coastal gems — a place where the waves roll in slow and the sunsets stretch long across the horizon. Today, we’re thrilled to share that a beloved oceanfront property here is beginning its next chapter — and we’re honored to be a part of it.
As of October 10, 2025, the Sunset Surf Motel has joined the Escape Lodging family — and with it comes a new name, a new look, and a renewed sense of purpose. When the doors reopen in May 2026, guests will be welcomed to the Manzanita Oceanfront Inn.
This winter, the property will undergo a complete refresh of all guest rooms and common spaces, designed to reflect the natural beauty and easygoing charm of Manzanita. The updates will bring warm coastal tones, modern comforts, and locally inspired touches, creating a space that feels both new and timeless.
“Our family is genuinely excited to be part of the Manzanita community,” shares Lisa Nofield of Escape Lodging. “We fell in love with this town’s incredible warmth and character, and we’re honored to invest in its future while preserving what makes it so special. The Manzanita Oceanfront Inn will celebrate that same welcoming spirit that guests have cherished for generations.”
Located just steps from the sand with sweeping views of the Pacific, the Manzanita Oceanfront Inn will continue to offer the charm of a classic Oregon beach stay — now paired with Escape Lodgings’ signature hospitality and attention to detail.
We can’t wait to welcome guests — both returning and new — when the Inn reopens in May 2026. Until then, follow along as we bring this exciting transformation to life and celebrate the heart of a community we’re proud to now call home.
