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. What is surprising is 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.
Great surfing beach just an easy 1/4 mile walk from the parking lot at Oswald State Park. Popular location for surfing (even beginners), boogie boarding or just playing in the sand and creek.
Just 20 minutes north of Arch Cape is a fabulous indoor swimming pool - great for those cold, rainy days at the Oregon Coast. There are actually 2 pools and a hot tub. The smaller pool is for beginners and younger swimmers, the larger pool features a swing, a FAST slide, and a rock climbing wall. Entrance fees are easy on the pocket book too!
Everything you want to know about crabbing, clamming, and fishing can be found here. They offer crab pots and boats for rent and sell fresh seafood (crabs, clams, oysters). Very helpful and friendly staff!
Rent one of these 3 wheeled beach cruisers for a hoot of a time on the sand. These are ideal for most ages (5 - ???), and are a fun way to get some exercise and explore the beach.
Once west of Portland, the drive to the beach takes you through the beautiful Coast Range.
Access to Oregon Coast Trail which winds through beautiful forests and with ocean vistas
Owner's Map of Cannon Beach
We are a family of five, children ages 7, 9, and 13. 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.

An exceptional rental. The house is very roomy and top of the line attention to details can be found throughout the house. I came with a group of 6 lady friends and everyone was impressed. The beach is steps away for wonderful walks and viewing of the sunset. The view from the house is wonderful. Cannon beach is just down the road and such a great little town! We will be coming back.

We stayed at Rancho Del Mar over the Christmas holiday, and it was absolutely perfect. We had two families (four adults, four children), and the set-up was perfect for us. The house was impeccably clean and well-equipped, leaving no detail unfulfilled. From the toys and games to the movie selection, to kid-friendly dishes, everything we needed was available on-hand. The home is decorated beautifully and feels incredibly warm and inviting. Even with the tasteful decorations, you don't feel as though you're staying in a museum or have to watch your (or your child's every move). Even my two year old (who usually gets into EVERYTHING) was able to enjoy herself without me worrying about her damaging anything. And the radiant floor heating is fantastic! Very warm and cozy. I highly recommend this home, and we look forward to coming back soon!
Owner response:Great to know that you enjoyed Christmas at Rancho del Mar! Having little ones myself, I try to keep the house friendly to even the youngest guests. I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed the radiant floor heat throughout the house. It makes getting out of bed in the morning nicer on the toes! We would love to have you as our guests again anytime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Rancho del Mar. While we always find being at the ocean refreshing, particularly during the winter, this trip was made even more enjoyable by the fact that the owners have done such a beautiful job on the house. We found it very well equipped with everything we could possibly need … and then some. The variety of games and books was quite remarkable. Kitchen supplies were well beyond our expectations. The fireplace, with wood supplied, provided a cozy ambience, especially during an evening storm. We also enjoyed the radiant heat in the floors. The beach is only a short walk away, along what amounts to no more than a small lane. While the house is located close to the highway, a fence was nicely positioned to provide quite good separation and sound insulation. All in all we had a wonderful experience and would definitely consider returning for another visit, but for a longer stay (a week or two sounds good!).

We had an excellent stay at Rancho del Mar. This home has been recently remodeled in what I would describe as a contemporary northwest style and is very beautiful, clean and welcoming. The beach is a short 2 minute walk from the house, isn't crowded and you can walk for miles at anything but high tide. Danna was an excellent host and was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. The home is the first house off of hwy 101 but is well insulated and the bedrooms are all on the ocean side of the house. I'm a person who is sensitive to ambient noise and I hardly noticed it. In fact what you mostly hear is the roar of the ocean reminding you you're at the beach! We would definitely stay here again!

An almost paradise

Review Submitted: 11/20/11
I fell for this home before I even got there, because the owner is very pleasant and kind. The house itself is just as advertised; clean, stocked, basically fully loaded. It's clearly been recently updated and I think it was done well. The mattresses, linens, etc. are in excellent condition. We had cold and stormy afternoons and nights, but the house was warm and the windows secure, also plenty of firewood. We cooked tons of food with the greatest of ease because the kitchen is roomy and well-equipped. Everyone in our group had a great weekend, and the price was right. My personal list of cons: - Too far from town. OK, it's only about 5-7 minutes, but in fall/winter I prefer the option of being within walking distance of the CB. The weather did not motivate us to get on the 101. - Lots of notes , signs, instructions, and general do's-and-dont's regarding the care and keeping of the house. To a certain I extent I get it, because it's a lovely house. At the same time, we're not children, and thankfully we didn't bring any because the incredibly awesome and appealing toy car in the pink room comes with a "do not touch" disclaimer. - weird, unmarked steps into the back rooms. My friend fell, and she couldn't get up. I'm kidding, she got up, but she was covered in bruises on one arm. - General location, i.e directly next to the highway and further from the beach than I like to be. The view is kind of ... little. But still, any view of the ocean = like. - not enough hot water, and we didn't even fill all the beds. All in all, Rancho Del Mar was a win. If only it was in town ... I'd never stay anywhere else.
Owner response:For potential guests, I wanted to respond to this renter's comments: 1. Arch Cape is a small community 5 mile south of Cannon Beach. Our guests choose Arch Cape because it is quiet and secluded, yet just a few minutes down the road from restaurants, shops, and services. 2. Regarding "do's and dont's" I email a welcome letter prior to arrival which explains how to operate the unique features of our home such as the infloor heat system, trash compactor, and exterior sensor light. If you would like to see a copy of this in advance to reserving this home, please just ask. The note on the cute pink car actually says "I'm old and tired. I'm great for photos and sitting in, but not good at giving rides anymore. Thanks for letting me rest!" 3. This is basically a ranch style home, but there is one step down into 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Each time I respond to an inquiry, I attach a floorplan which shows where each step is located. I also have an area rug in front of each step to draw attention to this detail. 4. Our home is the 4th home off the ocean...literally a 2 minute leisurely walk to the end of the street. It is located 50 feet off the highway with mature pine trees, shrubbery, and a fence providing a barrier. 5. The photos on vrbo are exactly as you will see things from the house...I have not used a zoom lens to make the ocean seem closer or more expansive than it already is. You can be the judge as to whether the view is "little." 6. I have had 76 separate reservations (with groups ranging 4-12 guests) since our remodel was complete in April 2010. I have never had a comment that there wasn't enough hot water, so I'm not sure what happened this time. I think you can read from the comments left by our other guests that I take the comfort of each guest who stays at Rancho del Mar very seriously. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions as I will attempt to answer honestly and accurately to make sure you are finding accommodations that will suite you perfectly!

I have rented many homes from VRBO but never one like this. Every detail in the house was immaculate and elegantly designed. The home is spacious and allowed for a very comfortable stay. The walk to the beach was short and the surrounding areas very pleasant. The owner had great communication and was very easy to work with. We are already planning out next visit to this amazing property.

Great place for both families and girls getaway weekend! Our was a girls get away weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! There was plenty of room at the large dining room table to sit and all have breakfast together and dinner. The living room was very nice and comfortable for talking and putting together a puzzle on the big coffee table. It was located very close to if you wanted quickly drive into Cannon Beach. The beach access was a quick walk down the street. We spent a lot of time at the beach really enjoyed the outside sink so we could wash off our shells and shoes if need be before bringing them into the home. The home was immaculate when we got there and there were plenty of towels and everything we could think of that we needed. Danna was amazing to work with! Thanks again Danna for opening up your home to us! We all will be back and hope to plan on making this a yearly trip that we do! I hope to bring my nephews and family there sometime too!

We brought our entire family down to Rancho Del Mar in early October and simply loved it. Everyone's reaction upon walking into the home was "Woa!" Its spacious and modern, but still very homey. Bedrooms are well situated so that everyone had their own private space. We also rented Beach Pines Bungalow (VRBO #173493) next door to accommodate our entire group - which was super convenient. We especially loved the view of the Ocean from the living room and the fact that we could fit everyone around the large dining table. Eager to return!!

We loved this house! The property was clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. We were celebrating a 60th birthday with a "Girls Getaway" and this was the perfect spot! There was enough room for everyone to spread out but then also cozy up in the living room with a big fire in the fireplace (with wood that was provided) and just relax! The beach access is close and it's a short drive to Cannon Beach for some shopping and dinner. The owner, Danna, was great to work with answering all our questions in a quick & timely manner. I would totally recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay at the beach!! We'd stay again and again and again!

Our family enjoyed our stay so much! The house was beautiful, and had everything you need to make a vacation enjoyable....and if you have children (as we do) you will appreciate all of the conveniences provided(high chair,sippy cups,playpen, kids room with toys and a T.V. ect.) we loved it so much. Danna was wonderful and was always quick to respond to all of our emails. I can't can't say enough good things about our vacation at arch cape! you will not be disappointed!
