About this property

Steps to the Beach: Arch Cape Cozy Cottage w Sauna

Steps from the Cove Beach and tucked into old-growth rain forest, our Falcon Cove retreat is a very special place. Minutes from Cannon Beach and Manzanita you get the benefits of a magical cove with access to the resources of nearby destination towns. Oswald West State Park trails and Short Sand Beach (best surfing in Oregon) are part of the fun nearby. You have the best of all worlds at our cozy coastal cottage!

This comfortable cottage sits nestled amongst the trees with easy access to Cove Beach a few minutes walk down Tide Ave! This home is a quiet retreat for those who want a restorative space to discover the Oregon Coast. Relax on the large sunny deck and watch the waves roll in, the glorious sunsets, and whale watching in the Fall!

The space
An updated 3 bedroom 1 bath open floor plan with a warm sauna to greet you after a day at the beach. The cottage is minutes from Oswald West State Park and Short Sands Beach (best surfing in all of Oregon), with Manzanita (10 minute drive) and Cannon Beach (15 minute drive) also nearby. Fully loaded kitchen opens up to a main living room anchored by a wood stove and a side TV den. We have a very private sitting area in the backyard with views of the Pacific from the elevated sauna deck. Nearby Falcon Cove Marine Preserve has great tide pools. Although public, Cove Beach is very lightly used as there is no public parking which restricts access. You can walk 1/3 of a mile from the cabin into Oswald West State Park and which has enchanting old growth forest and views of ocean. The Oregon Coast Trail is nearby as well.

A chef's kitchen includes: blender, toaster, pressure cooker, hand mixer, pots and pans, bakeware, Kuerig coffee maker, espresso percolator, french press, water boiler, and a gas grill.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We really enjoyed our stay here! We like being surrounded by forest and it was quiet. Everything was comfortable and ‘homey’ feeling(bed was comfortable). The best part was Cove Beach which was great because we were only ones usually on the beach. Our dog loved running free without a leash.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house is in an excellent location and was very clean and peaceful. We accidentally locked ourselves out and the owner was super quick with a kind and helpful reply. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home!

Great spot for a more secluded getaway. Loved that it was pet friendly. Close to the beach. Great amenities. Very clean. 2 items of note: it’d be helpful if the bathroom had one more small shelf (above toilet?) to use for toiletries plus a hook or something to hang a hand towel would be great. Also, the home is not quite level and triggered my vertigo. It probably won’t bother most people as I’m super sensitive but wanted to note it. Overall though it was a great place.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Ellwood

Host profile image
I've been hosting short and long term rentals for nearly two decades now. This property is my newest and most exciting. It's a perfect getaway to a beach that, although public, has very limited access so it feels almost private. I have really enjoyed my time in Falcon Cove/Cove Beach/Arch Cape and can't wait to spend more there. I hope you enjoy this gem as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

Very relaxed, friendly, quiet and so close to the magic of Cove Beach. Plus, you can go to Cannon Beach or Manzanita for a variety of dining options and high quality groceries.

What makes this property unique

Charming classic beach cottage, well appointed, well cared for, and a great backyard.
