The Enchanted Cottage in Arch Cape was really nice. You can see the ocean between the houses just in front of the home. You don't actually have beach access from the home, because of the terrain in between, but it's a 30 second drive to the Arcardia Beach parking lot. It's quieter than Cannon Beach, while still only being a 5 minute drive to the amenities of the town. While we were there we basically didn't have reliable internet however. That was a big disappointment with 2 kids who wanted to watch TV at the end of a long day. The property managers did send someone out to work on it, and it did come on, but it was intermittent for the 4 days we were there. But the house was nice, the windows in the front and the deck offered a chance to see and hear the ocean, and it was clean. The road that leads to the house off the highway is very steep and not the safest. It's hard to see where you are going, and difficult to pull out with such fast traffic on the highway. But the place itself was very nice. We would recommend.
