Great stay, as usual. Beach access is perfect, kids jumped in the ocean, tide was out low enough so we could walk through the arch to Cove Beach, etc. House clean and has everything we need. We’ve been coming back for 10 plus years.

We have been fortunate to stay at Singing Sands for a few years...Every visit has been wonderful. The host, Patty. thinks of everything you might need and then asks if there is 'anything else' you might like. The view is amazing, the house is so comfortable. It's no wonder that this place is booked out so far in advance. We just left and we already can't wait to go back. Thank you!

Returning here is immediately relaxing. Everything we need is at hand. The home and its furnishings are like a time capsule back to the 1970’s. We did appreciate the updated walk-in shower on the first floor. We’ve already reserved for next year.

Such a wonderful spot!

We finally found our go-to spot on the beautiful Oregon Coast! We have stayed in Arch Cape three times now and this was by far the best vacation rental. It was perfect for our family of 4 plus dog. Everything was just as described but the views were even more amazing. Every single room has ocean views and the yard and the steps down to beach were perfect for our 3 and 6 year olds to navigate. Cannot wait to book again.

Perfect house, perfect beach!

I grew up coming to the Oregon regularly and Arch Cape is one of our favorite beaches. Nothing commercial there, just quiet neighborhoods, lots of beach to walk, tide pooling at low tide...just beautiful.And Singing Sands has been our beach house of choice every year for more than 13 years now. Nothing fancy here, just genuine comfort with a nice front yard and beach access. Kitchen is well supplied for fixing meals. Communication with Patty is easy. Thanks so much!

'Singing Sands' in Arch Cape, Six Miles South of Cannon Beach, OR


In 1929, my great aunts, Elsie and Marie English, bought the Arch Cape Hotel and re-named it 'Singing Sands.' Family stories tell us it had been used by fur trappers and postmen.

Elsie and Marie came down from Seattle in the summers and provided room, board, and beach fun to relatives and paying guests. Highway 101 did not reach Arch Cape at that time, so they had to drive on the beach at low tide.

After Elsie and Marie retired from their teaching and school administration professions and moved to 'Singing Sands' permanently, they found it uncomfortable for winter living. Around 1955, the old 'Singing Sands' was torn down, and a new 'Singing Sands' was built, which I inherited in 1979.
The present 'Singing Sands' contains original furniture and happy memories. It is on an ocean front lot with easy beach access. There is a view of the famous Castle Rock, about one mile out to sea.

'Singing Sands' sleeps six. A single bedroom is located on the first floor with two twin beds and a bathroom with a handicap-accessible shower. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and another with twin beds. This bathroom has a tub/shower. Each bedroom has a view of the ocean.

The living room has a fire place (wood is provided), and the fully equipped kitchen was recently remodeled. Both rooms have ocean views.
