We enjoyed our 2 night stay at The Castle. This location allowed easy beach access, easy walking to restaurants, candy store, coffee houses, and tap houses. The unit provided many comforts- the bedding, the sofa, and the fireplace were our favorites. The kitchen provided all the needed equipment including like-new small appliances. The extra touches by the housekeeping staff made this stay one of our favorites at the beach. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Arnold & Malia Jacobsen

Host profile image
Hello & Aloha from Arnie & Malia Jacobsen. Arnie was born and raised in little Nehalem, Oregon just 20 minutes south of Cannon Beach. Malia was raised in Honaunau, Hawaii in a little town south of Kona. We love raising our daughter Pualani on the lovely Oregon Coast. Our business area includes Gearhart, Seaside, Cannon Beach & Arch Cape. We enjoy walking around the beaches year-round, swimming in the creeks during the summer warmer months, or surfing. Some of our favorite hiking spots are Oswald West and Ecola State Park from Crest beach to Indian beach. Everywhere we go we see someone we are connected to. From going to the post office, grocery shopping, having a meal, or just shopping. Which is why we started our business Kukui House Services here. Kukui means “light” in Hawaiian. Kukui “Light” House Services. We help owners with their rental or private home, and our guests so they experience a wonderful stay. Our clients tell us we are friendly, have quality cleans, and are responsive.
There are so many wonderful aspects of living here and would love to share our experiences with you. Mahalo (Thank you)

Why they chose this property

Sand Castle is a great family and pet friendly ocean front home in Cannon Beach. We love the laid back and relaxing feel of the home. The view is amazing!! Just steps to the ocean and Ecola Creek via a private walkway through the back yard. Our home is located in walking distance to all the great boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and breweries in Cannon Beach, Oregon. The famous Haystack Rock is just a lovely stroll on the beach away.
