CHECK OUT OUR VIDEO!
From the moment you walk through the front door, prepare to be wowed by amazing ocean views through grand picture windows in the living room and master bedroom. A spacious, flowing layout provides ample area both for gathering together with family and friends as well as quiet retreat. French doors extend the living area to the west-facing deck for outdoor dining and taking in vibrant ocean sunsets.
Rancho del Mar was completely renovated and updated in 2010. We contemplated each detail with the goal of creating a welcoming and unique vacation home experience for our guests! Your toes will delight from the warmth of the in-floor heat as you step out of bed in the morning; your senses will be awakened by the chic ocean-inspired décor; and your stay will be carefree because of convenient features like the outdoor hot/cold shower and covered barbecue area.
Prepare even the most gourmet meals in the well-equipped kitchen including beautiful contemporary dish and stemware, plenty of cookware, regular and specialty appliances, spices, cooking oil, and plenty of paper goods. Make a special treat for the kids with the Belgian waffle iron and electric ice cream maker; adults can use the blender to whip up their own margarita treat. You will enjoy unhurried meals and lively conversation around the spacious custom-built dining table with dimmer-switched lighting.
From the master bedroom, linger in the comfortable king size bed as you awaken to the sight of the ocean. Walk out the French doors to the deck to take in your morning coffee and the smell of the ocean air.
A second couple or in-laws can retreat to the very private second master suite furnished with a queen bed, en suite 1/2 bath and mini-bar.
Our youngest guests will LOVE their own nautical-themed play room and dual bunk rooms. Night-time reading is a pleasure with individually switched reading lights at each bunk. Books, toys, puzzles, DVDs, a flat-screen TV and DVD player will keep them entertained when not playing in the outdoor sandbox or down at the beach. A high chair, port-a-crib, red wagon, and kids’ dishware are conveniently provided as well.
You will find many ways to unwind and rejuvenate during your stay:
- Sink into the comfortable wrap-around sofa and watch the mesmerizing storms roll in.
- Select from our extensive library of books and games and cozy up in front of the wood-burning fireplace (unlimited wood provided).
- Watch a movie or your favorite sports on the cable-equipped HDTV - both in house DVD selection and Netflix are available.
- Listen to streaming music or bring your iPod/iPhone and connect to surround sound through the docking station.
- If you must stay connected, wireless internet and a land line with free long distance are provided.
- Our insider's concierge book can guide you to the many 'not to miss' nearby attractions such as beautiful hikes in Ecola State Park and Oswald West State Park, surfing spots such as Short Sands Beach, horseback riding along the beach in Manzanita, and crabbing and fishing adventures in Nehalem Bay.
Located only five miles south of Cannon Beach, with its many restaurants, art galleries, shops, and the famed Haystack Rock, Arch Cape is a quiet, peaceful community. The easy beach access one block west of Rancho del Mar leads to a nearly secluded beach bordered by Hug Point to the north, the arch to the south, and tide pools at both ends filled with starfish, sea anemones, and crabs. Grab the provided beach toys, boogie boards, and sand chairs, and head to the beach! After dark, head back to the beach for a bonfire, s'mores (marshmallow sticks provided) and stargazing!
We have tried to provide special amenities to make you feel welcome and at home from the moment you arrive - a basket full of coastal treats and our signature chocolate starfish, plush bath and beach towels, extra blankets and pillows, spa soaps, and plenty of paper goods. If we can provide anything additional to make your vacation more enjoyable, please let us know.
If you are part of a larger party wanting to rent two homes side-by-side, please see our listing #287194. This home - Beach Pines Bungalow - can accommodate another 6-8 guests.

Welcome to Rancho Del Mar, a home away from home. This is a beautiful place to stay with everything we needed and beyond; and the perfect place to stay while exploring the Oregon Coast. It is ideal for families and extended families but has lots to offer the grownups too.
The owners of Rancho Del Mar have taken great pride in their home and give extra care to their visitors. The home is not only beautifully decorated, comfortable and very clean but is stocked with what you will need for your stay; with games, puzzles, firewood, sand toys and a well-appointed kitchen. The owners were also delightful to work with, answering all of our questions and providing us with a list of activities to do in the area. They were one of our favorite owners that we have had the pleasure to vacation with.
Rancho Del Mar sits 4 homes back from the beach. It has a side yard with trees, flowers, chairs, a sand box for the cubs. The expansive back deck is off of the family room and master suite and features great ocean views, perfect for lounging in the sun, relaxing, listening to the surf, and enjoying family meals too. Inside the newly renovated and beautifully decorated home is a big log fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings or enjoying the view when the weather is less than perfect. The kitchen has new cabinets, granite counters, a beautiful tile back splash and everything that a chef would need including coastal colored Fiesta-ware and stainless steel appliances. The beds and bedding are high quality and very comfortable. The kids’ bunk rooms are a dream, as well as the kids’ game and TV room. There is an outdoor shower off of the laundry room that is perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. There are games, movies, puzzles, books, toys, a wagon and sand toys for the kids or the inner bear in all of us.
Arch Cape is a small community of homes between the highway and the pristine Arch Cape beach. It is only 4-6 houses wide between the highway and the ocean. It is a quiet community with an easily accessible beach. There are various pathways to the rock barrier and then the soft sand. The beach is perfect for taking long walks, sea-shelling, making sand castles and just relaxing. You can walk a mile up the beach to Hug Point and explore the caves and tide pools or the waterfall at low tide, or walk south towards Oswald State Park and its gorgeous hiking trails. Arch Cape is very close to nearby towns, sights to see, mountains for hiking and many other beaches to explore. Our bear family enjoyed exploring the beaches, Cannon Beach and its lovely shops and divine restaurants, hiking at Oswald State Park and Short Sands Beach, building a beach bonfire, touring the Tillamook lighthouse and the yummy cheese factory, riding beach bikes, crabbing at Nehalem Bay and even just enjoying Rancho Del Mar was its own slice of heaven. There are so many fun things to see and do in the northern Oregon coast.
Rancho Del Mar was a perfect home for the VRBO Bear and our cubs. The bear highly recommends that you choose to stay here and explore the Oregon coast.

We were not disappointed when we entered this lovely home, so beautifully appointed. There is so much room, there were 6 of us and our Grandson and we truly enjoyed all the space and easy access to the beach, which is almost a private setting. Everything you need is readily at hand, lots of towels, linens and all the extras have been supplied; our grandson especially loved playing with all the toys and the wagon to take him down to the ocean, plus a grill when we decided to stay in and cook. The owners are great to work with, very accomidating to any need. Thank you so much for a wonderful time on the Oregon Coast.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our three sons and daughter-in-laws and my husband and I enjoyed a magical 3 day weekend at Rancho del Mar. It has a gorgeous ocean view from the living room/dining area as well as the master bedroom. It is spacious yet cozy and warm. The renovations have been done in exquisite taste from the fireplace to the lighting to the cabinetry throughout. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with quality appliances, dishes, tools, accessories. The colors are restful and inviting. The owners have put a lot of love and care into this home and have thought of everything, such as abundance of towels and bedding and many puzzles to work while the fire is blazing. We will return for sure.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had an absolutely perfect experience in Arch Cape! The house was perfect for our two families. The 3 little girls slept in the bunk room and the play room was a perfect getaway for them. my older kids slept in the smaller bunk room. The kitchen was well equipped with beautiful appliances and the pottery barn beach feel of the decor was clean and refreshing! You will especially enjoy playing games at the large dining room table or just lounging on the beautiful sectional in front of the fire as you watch the waves crash just a block away. Thank you Danna!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

This house was perfect. We spent Christmas week there and had so much fun. The best part about the house that stands out from others we've stayed at is how kid friendly it is. It was so nice to come home from a long day of playing and have a place for the kids to go, stocked with toys and movies. The setup is perfect and the renovations are beautiful. We would definitely stay here again in the future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with young children.

We had a wonderful time in Arch Cape at Rancho del Mar! The home was spectacular - the view from the large deck and master bedroom was much better than I had imagined. We could hear waves from the master bedroom. The house was very well stocked, and there was a playroom full of toys and a separate TV for my 2 and 4 year old. There were plenty of beach toys as well. We just had 4 adults and 2 kids, and 4 beds went unused. The home is just a 5 minute or less walk from the beach, and we spent lots of time in Cannon Beach, Oswald State Park, Manzanita, and Seaside as well. I really enjoyed staying outside of the business of Cannon Beach, where we usually have stayed in the past. We will most definitely be back! Thanks Danna for making this such an easy and relaxing vacation!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This was a first visit to the Oregon Coast, and we loved it! The vacation home was beatifully updated. It was clean and luxurious. The location is great: it is close to Cannon Beach, but has access to a very quiet, almost private beach shared only with other houses in Arch Cape. The only critique is actually a positive review: we had some minor issues but they were addressed by Danna at the beginning of the stay. We would love to return to this vacation home in the future!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: We try to always keep our home in tip top shape, but on occasion, something does need fixing. Thanks for your patience on the first day while our maintenance staff got everything working smoothly for you. We love our secluded location and beach, yet being just 5 miles from Cannon Beach, we can easily go out to dinner and visit the galleries and shops too. You were wonderful guests, and we hope to welcome you and your family again to Rancho del Mar!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: We are a family of five, children ages 9, 11, and 15. As an active family, we especially enjoy the opportunities for outdoor recreation that the Oregon Coast offers. Our children enjoy playing in the creek that flows into the ocean in front of our home, searching for crabs and other critters in the tide pools at either end of the Arch Cape beach, surfing and boogie-boarding, and hiking nearby. We live only 90 minutes east, in Portland, and are also avid skiers in the winter.
Why the Owner Chose Cannon Beach:
Arch Cape is a quiet 'suburb' of Cannon Beach. Public parking here is challenging, so the beach is often secluded. This quiet, yet centrally located beach appealed to us. Due to the outcroppings at either end of the beach, there is more protection from the wind and weather than some other coastal options.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Our home is west of Highway 101, and just the 4th house off the ocean. Visitors are always impressed by the outstanding view of the ocean from the family room and master bedroom.
We all enjoy putting together a puzzle or nestling up in front of a cozy fire. Surfing, boogie-boarding, and building sandcastles are other favorite activities.
