Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Manzanita is a small oceanside village on Oregon’s north coast with a population of 642. Its short-term rental performance is published at a regional level, so the figures on this page describe the Oregon North Coast STR market, a stretch of coast that includes Manzanita. Every performance number below applies to that region rather than to Manzanita alone. Bedroom, channel and listing-type counts and top-operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Manzanita, so this profile omits them.
In September 2026 the Oregon North Coast STR market averaged an ADR of $346 and occupancy of 64.8%, which produced average monthly revenue of $6,059. Against September 2025, occupancy rose 5.8%, ADR rose 3.2% and revenue rose 10.6%. Entire homes averaged $348 per night, so the all-listings rate sits very close to the entire-place rate. The typical booking is made about 76 days ahead and lasts 3.4 nights.
By calendar year, average monthly revenue in 2025 was $4,837 on 53.2% occupancy and a $318 ADR. The first nine months of 2026 average $5,476 per month on 58.6% occupancy and a $331 ADR, so 2026 is running ahead of 2025 on all three measures. Occupancy peaked at 67.3% in 2021 and fell to 52.9% in 2024, and the gains since then have come from both rate and demand.
Visitors come to Manzanita for seven miles of sandy beach, Neahkahnie Mountain hiking, and nearby Nehalem Bay State Park and Oswald West State Park. The visitor base skews toward Pacific Northwest road-trippers, weekenders and outdoor-recreation travelers who want a quieter alternative to Cannon Beach. The city caps STR licenses, which limits new supply in its residential zones and shapes how an investor should approach entry.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Manzanita, but the city limits supply. It caps total STR licenses at 17.5% of the housing stock. The cap applies in the R2, R3 and SR-R residential zones, which operate a waitlist with about 13 applicants currently waiting. The R4, C-1 and LC zones are not affected by the cap and have no waitlist.
A Short-Term Rental License is required and must be obtained before using or advertising a dwelling as an STR. The license year runs August 1 to July 31 and renews annually, and the fee is not prorated. Costs are roughly a $75 application fee, which covers health and safety review, parking and one follow-up inspection, plus a $250 annual license fee. Late renewal fees are set by city resolution.
Owner occupancy and primary residence are not required. Operational rules include off-street parking for at least two vehicles and a designated local contact with a key who can reach the property within 30 minutes. Exterior signage showing the city license number is optional.
The city collects a 9% transient lodging tax, remitted quarterly. Oregon also levies a 1.5% state lodging tax, for about 10.5% combined. Violations are handled under the city’s civil infractions and fines ordinance, and enforcement severity is rated moderate.
The city adopted Ordinance 24-06 (Short-Term Rental Amendments) in October 2024. It builds on Ordinance 21-05 from 2021 and earlier ordinances, and it keeps the 17.5% cap, the zone based waitlist and the inspection and licensing requirements. Verify current rules with the city before buying.
Market Comparison
In September 2026 the Oregon North Coast STR market posted 64.8% occupancy and a $346 ADR, up 5.8% and 3.2% from a year earlier. Seasonally, occupancy ranges from 31.0% in January to 80.9% in August.
The market is strong in a month that is not its peak. September’s seasonal average is 62.5% occupancy at a $276 ADR, and the September 2026 reading sits above that average, while August reaches 80.9% occupancy.
The tradeoffs are cost and supply. The typical Manzanita home value is $821,506, and the city caps licenses in its main residential zones. A higher ADR comes with a higher purchase price and a smaller pool of properties that can legally operate. The market score data places rental demand highly, but those scores cover the wider region. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Manzanita, so this profile omits them.
