Cannon Beach, Oregon Lodgings, Vacation Rentals on Oregon Coast

(Cannon Beach, Oregon) – Part of the allure of Cannon Beach is its truly unique lodgings and accommodations, where enormous, upscale resorts seem to rule. But more accurately, the tiny town is big on individualism, and places to stay here are not only far from the cookie-cutter aesthetic common in many other towns, but they’re often unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else on the coastline.

One B&B is an actual castle. Another set of vacation rental homes are paradoxically part medieval cottage, part ultra-modern mansion. One hotel is a blast from the past with its 40’s-style architecture, while one rental agency features oceanfront hot tubs just about everywhere. There are numerous large resort hotels that offer all sorts of grandiose amenities and cater to every need, including wine social hours, book signings, wireless Net access, flowing gardens, free cookies and dozens of otherworldly and more grounded delights.

This frisson-inducing vibe is so thick it spills over into neighboring Arch Cape, and then into nearby towns like Manzanita or Seaside. There, as in Cannon Beach, you’ll find various bed and breakfasts, motels, resorts and rentals that come with loads of uncommon charms and concepts, like massive walls of flowers, an ancient hotel that has housed vacationers for generations, and loads of pet friendly possibilities for those who can’t leave without Fido.

Arch Cape Property Services. They oversee dozens of homes in that dreamy stretch between Cannon Beach and Manzanita known as Arch Cape, a rugged and unpopulated chunk of coastline with dramatic shorelines and sweeping cliffs. Their properties dot the beaches and hills from Arcadia to Arch Cape, including the highly secretive Falcon Cove (also known as Magic Rocks Beach). You’ll find oceanfront and ocean view homes, all just a short walk away from the sea.

All homes are immaculate and smoke free, and there are some pet friendly homes (with a fee). Some houses come with broadband access, indoor or outdoor hot tubs, fireplaces, music centers, decks, and fire pits or barbecues. Furnishings here include well-equipped kitchens, washer/dryer, linens, bath towels, paper and soap supplies, firewood, color TV’s, VCR and DVD players. During winter, there are some tempting specials that go until March (not valid holidays, however). www.archcaperentals.com 866-436-1607.
