Stay
How booking Nostos actually works.
Nostos is listed on Airbnb and Vrbo. Use whichever you already have an account with. Rates, the calendar and the fee schedule live on the listing, where they stay current. Everything else you need is on this page.
Where each thing lives
Two places to book. This one for everything else.
- Rates and availability
- The live calendar and the current nightly rate sit on Airbnb or Vrbo, and they move with the season and the date. What you see there is what you pay.
- Fees and deposits
- Cleaning, service and any damage deposit are itemized at checkout against your exact dates, in full, before you commit to anything.
- Payment
- Taken by Airbnb or Vrbo, under their own payment protection. Nostos does not process card details, and nobody from this house will ever ask you to pay by transfer.
- Cancellation
- Set by the policy attached to the listing and shown to you in full before you pay. Read it there, where it is current.
- Minimum stay
- Varies by season and is enforced by the calendar itself. If the dates are bookable, the minimum is met.
- Occupancy
- 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. That is a firm cap, not a guideline.
10/10 from 44 reviews on Vrbo, as of September 2026.
House rules
The ones to know before you book.
- Arrival and departure
- Check in from 4:00 PM, out by 10:00 AM. Entry is keyless.
- Pets
- No pets, no exceptions.
- Smoking
- No smoking, anywhere on the property.
- Events and gatherings
- No events. Gatherings of more than ten people need the owners' permission in advance. Quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM.
- Hot tub
- Private, and open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Children under fourteen need an adult with them, and children under five should not use it. The full rules come with the guest guide once you have booked.
- Children
- Nostos is set up for families: toys, games, a room that sleeps three, and beach gear by the door. The house is on two levels with an exterior staircase to the main entry, so plan for stairs with very small children.
- Accessibility
- The main entry is reached by an exterior staircase, and the house is arranged over two levels with one bathroom on each. Both bathrooms are shower-only. The property has not been assessed for step-free access, so tell us what you need before you book and we will give you a straight answer.
The day-to-day details, from the hot tub rules to check-out, are in the guest guide. Your hosts send the password once you have booked.
Questions
Before you book.
- How close is the beach, really?
- Public beach-access trails sit roughly thirty yards to either side of the house, a distance the owners publish themselves. It is a walk over the dune, not a drive.
- How many people can stay?
- Eight, across four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The beds are one king, two queens, and one double.
- Can we walk into town?
- Yes. Manzanita Coffee and Marzano's Pizza are a short walk, and Little Apple and Manzanita Fresh Foods cover the groceries.
- Where do I see rates and availability?
- On the listing. Nostos is on both Airbnb and Vrbo, so use whichever you already have an account with. The calendar, the nightly rate, the fees, the deposit, and the cancellation policy all live there alongside payment, which keeps them current.
- Where do we park?
- In the driveway. There is room for three cars.
- What is the weather like?
- It is the north Oregon coast. Some weeks look exactly like our photographs. Plenty of others are gray, wet, and windy, which is when the fireplace and the hot tub earn their keep. Pack for both.
Anything else goes to the owners directly through Airbnb or Vrbo. The listing has a host message button (opens in a new tab).
