Custom Homes, Additions, and Remodels in Manzanita, OR
Ready to wake to the sound of the surf, with Neahkahnie Mountain at your back and seven miles of open beach out front? Manzanita is the north coast at its quietest and most beautiful, a village of a few hundred wrapped in state parks, where the pace slows the moment you cross Neahkahnie Pass. Marnella Homes also knows this place well. The Oregon coast is part of who we are, and we build here with real experience, not on the occasional road trip. We craft new custom homes with the ocean in view, open beach cottages up for growing families and full-time living, and bring weathered coastal houses back to strength. Building by the sea is unforgiving, so four decades of building science matter more here than almost anywhere, turning a beautiful design into a home that stands up to salt, wind, and rain.
Custom Home Building in Manzanita
Have an ocean-view lot in Manzanita, or a spot tucked among the shore pines above the beach? A coast custom home balances two goals: opening the house to the view and armoring it against the weather that comes with one. We design for the shoreline, with elevated foundations where flood maps require, storm-rated windows, salt-tolerant materials, and the coast’s height and setback limits. We model performance against wind-driven rain and orient the living spaces toward the surf and the sunset. Your price is fixed from the first meeting, so the beach home you have pictured is one you can truly build.
Home Additions
Love your Manzanita cottage but wish it could hold the whole family, or carry you through full-time living? Many homes here were built as compact getaways, fine for a weekend but tight for a crowd or a permanent move. An addition can add bedrooms, a great room, or a primary suite that turns a retreat into a true home base. We build the new space to take the coastal climate seriously, sealed against the damp and framed for the wind, so the addition is as durable as it is welcoming and blends in as though it was always there.
Whole-Home Remodeling
Own a beach house in Manzanita that the salt, wind, and years have worn down? It is the price of a spot this close to the ocean, and entirely fixable. A whole-home remodel is your chance to undo the damage the coast inflicts, the rot behind the siding, tired windows, drafty rooms, and rebuild for the next few decades of weather. We replace what has failed with materials chosen for the shoreline, tighten the envelope against wind-driven rain, and open the home to the view it was bought for. The result is a beach house that feels as good inside as the setting does out.
Additional Services
Have plans or a bid for your coast project and want a shoreline-savvy builder to give them a hard look first? You do not have to hire us for the whole build to draw on what we know. Whether a permit is tangled in Tillamook County’s coastal rules or a quote leaves you uneasy, our additional services can help, covering bid review, plan modification, building permit processing, plan review, technical consultation, and building design. It is the same coastal know-how behind our full builds, focused on the one question in front of you. A careful check now spares you a costly lesson by the water later.

FAQs
Does Marnella Homes build custom homes in Manzanita, OR?
Yes. Marnella Homes builds custom homes in Manzanita and along the north Oregon coast, and coastal work is an established part of what we do. From our base in Camas, Washington, we bring four decades of high-performance building to ocean-view lots and beachside properties, with the durability the shoreline demands.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Manzanita?
It depends on the lot, the design, your finishes, and the coastal requirements a shoreline site carries, from foundations to materials. Our proposals are fixed-price and built on real energy modeling, so you get a clear, honest number early rather than one that climbs once the build is underway.
Can you remodel or add on to a beach cottage in Manzanita?
Absolutely. Many coast homes started as small getaways and need more room or repair after years of weather. We handle both additions and full remodels, rebuilding with shoreline-grade materials and modern efficiency so your beach home is more comfortable, more durable, and ready for full-time living if you want it.
Do you offer any warranty?
Yes. Every home we build comes with a third-party ten-year structural warranty, alongside our fixed-price proposals and open communication that carries through the whole project, no matter how far from the coast you happen to be.
