Mere steps from the shore in south Manzanita, 8864 Windward Ln offered an exceptional beach cabin with warmth, craftsmanship, and a rare sense of retreat. Architect-designed and craftsman-built, the home came to market for the very first time as an intentionally intimate coastal escape where the cabin itself was part of the experience.
Built in 1997, the home featured 924 square feet of living space on a 4,791-square-foot lot, with 2 full bathrooms and a thoughtful two-story layout. Every detail was designed to make a small footprint live beautifully, from the open downstairs living area to the private upstairs loft with two closets and a full bath.
The all-wood interior wrapped the home in warmth, with rich spruce floors, wood-clad walls, rough-cut cedar, handcrafted doors, skylight, ceiling fan, washer/dryer, wood floors, and soaring vaulted ceilings. Built-in window seats and sleeping nooks created intimate alcoves for reading, napping, or accommodating an overnight guest.
The kitchen included a built-in range, dishwasher, disposal, down draft, free-standing range, and a spacious peninsula layout. A propane stove added cozy heat for cool coastal evenings, while baseboard heat provided additional comfort.
Outdoor living was central to the property’s appeal. The open downstairs living area flowed naturally to a sunny front deck and a cozy covered back porch, creating easy places for morning coffee, evening stargazing, or listening to the sound of the ocean.
With public water, a composition roof, driveway parking, level lot features, secluded surroundings, trees, and a location within one quarter mile or less of the ocean beach, 8864 Windward Ln offered a simple but deeply memorable way to enjoy Manzanita.
When the mood called for adventure, the beach was just a short stroll away, with the bike path leading toward town and the state park. When the mood called for stillness, the cabin itself was the destination: a book, a game, a porch chair, and the sound of the ocean.

A Small Manzanita Cabin With Big Coastal Soul
What made this property so special was the way it balanced simplicity with craftsmanship. At 924 square feet, 8864 Windward Ln was small, but never lacking. The wood interior, vaulted ceilings, handcrafted details, built-in nooks, loft, deck, and covered porch created a beach cabin that felt both intimate and complete.
For buyers looking in south Manzanita, the location was especially compelling. The beach was mere steps away, while the bike path, state park, and town remained close enough to shape daily life. It was a place designed for slow mornings, sandy walks, quiet evenings, and the kind of memories that only a true beach cabin can hold.
With its first-time market offering, Matterport walkthrough, property video, exceptional craftsmanship, and beach-close setting, 8864 Windward Ln represented a rare and enchanting Manzanita retreat.
