About this property

The Pilot House by AvantStay | Stunning Home Right On Arch Cape Beach!

Welcome to The Pilot House, an AvantStay home!

Spend your next family vacation at The Pilot House, a quintessential beach house perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Arch Cape beach. This treasured escape is tailor-made for those whose vacation plans include board games, family feasts, oceanfront BBQs, and long, leisurely afternoons on the beach.

The Pilot House is designed for the perfect getaway, featuring a fully stocked kitchen ready for your favorite meals. Gather around the spacious dining table for eight and enjoy stunning ocean views that linger well past sunset. Plus, the tranquil beach is just half a block away!

In the comfy living area, an oversized, wraparound couch is your front-row seat to storm-watching in winter and glorious summer sunsets. Pull out a deck of cards, a puzzle, a board game, or that craft project you've been saving and make use of the four-person game table. A crackling fire in the wood stove completes this area's snug, soothing vibe.

You could spend your entire vacation cozied up together at The Pilot House. But should you decide to venture out, Cannon Beach is just ten minutes up the road.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The Pilot House sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms. All beds are wrapped in soft, high-quality linens.

The Primary Bedroom features a cozy king bed; an adjacent bathroom has a soaking tub.

Two more bedrooms sit at the opposite end of the house—one with a queen bed and the other with twin bunk beds, perfect for your little pirates. Outside these two bedrooms is a sitting room with a flat-screen, cable-equipped TV for sports highlights and your favorite Netflix series.

A second bathroom with a walk-in shower and stackable washer and dryer is located nearby.

Walk less than a block to discover the unspoiled coastline of Arch Cape, with tidepools, waterfall and caves at nearby Hug Point. Or drive a bit to hike Neahkahnie Mountain, kayak in Nehalem Bay, explore the artist towns of Manzanita and Cannon Beach, horseback ride on the beach, or surf at Short Sands beach.

Personalize your stay by taking advantage of the concierge services offered to all Starfish Vacation Rentals guests! Whether it’s pre-arrival grocery shopping, in-home chef services for that special occasion, or an afternoon art class, we aim to make your stay at The Pilot House as convenient as it is classic.

We want to come back every year!

This was a perfect spot for my girlfriends and I to get away. The ocean right out the window amazing, of course, and easy to walk down to the sand! The kitchen was very well-stocked with quality cookware and dishes and the entire home was clean and comfortable. We loved having the wood stove for our cozy puzzle evenings (lots of great puzzles and games). And the location was perfect...a quiet part of the coast tucked between fun and casual Rockaway and the upscale Cannon Beach shops and galleries. We did it all! Thank you for providing a haven for our rejuvenation.

Sweet Ocean Retreat

Friends celebrating turning 60! The Pilot House was perfect. Enough space for us as well as great views of ocean tides inside and outside. Watched the moon rise off the ocean and sunset. Great walking beach. Everything you need to cook dinner was available. Highly recommend The Pilot House

Not recommended

This listing doesn’t give the full version of the home. I wish I could add photos. It is 2 separate houses with the doorway between the 2. The doors to the rooms don’t lock. My kids couldn’t sleep because they were in a separate house from my husband and I. Most of the doors are pocket doors and accordion doors. The master bath doesn’t lock. We had ants on the countertops. A plant is growing through the wall in one spot. Several windows don’t open because the handle to twist is broken off. The heat is all baseboard heaters. They have a rug covering a large drain between the 2 “houses”. Only has 1 TV and it is in the kids part of the home. Absolutely no WiFi service at all. We had to exit the house to send a text. They said there’s WiFi but when we logged on it would say no service. There were several other WiFi options called pilot house and avant- stay back up but we weren’t allowed to use those. The house isn’t on the beach. It’s above the beach on a cliff. We couldn’t tell that from the photos. However the entrance is 1/4 block down the street so it’s very close. I just wish I knew it wasn’t sitting on the beach like I thought. The beach is very rocky and has some sand after all the rocks at low tide. High tide it is all rocks. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Relaxing family getaway

This is an amazing home at the perfect location: sort of a Goldilocks property. It’s the right size and the beach access is very close. Arch Cape is a small town so the beach is not too crowded but close to both Cannon Beach and Manzanita. This is our new favorite coastal rental.

Best View in Arch Cape

This house is charming. It’s efficient and well maintained but a renter doesn’t even notice that because the views are among the absolute best on that beach. Beach access is a breeze and everything is comfortable for the whole family.

Nice comfortable stay with panaromic ocean views

It was great place to stay in. Calm/quite neighbourhood away from hustle/bustle of Canon beach and Seaside. Nice interiors. Plenty of board games. The views from the house is spectacular.

Perfect Beach House Getaway

The Pilot House is a fantastic place to stay! We loved the gorgeous view! The kitchen is fantastic and the open layout to the living area allows everyone to interact even when preparing meals. Carol and Betty, who manage the property, were amazing to work with and made our stay easy and worry free. This was our second stay at the Pilot house and we plan to come back again!

Coziest Beach House, Perfect Location

While the wind blasted off of the ocean just outside our back door, my family and I stayed warm and cozy in this perfectly outfitted beach house. We enjoyed the amazing views, comfy beds, closet full of games and puzzles, well-equipped kitchen, and overall charm and vibes of this special house! The location is a quiet neighborhood perfectly placed between Manzanita and Cannon Beach. We hiked at nearby Oswald West State Park and used the little trail a block away to access the beach. Everything was clean when we arrived, the AvantStay team was very responsive, and check-out process was a breeze. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Weekend for the Family

Clean and warm with plenty of rooms for the extended family. We had a great time, particularly sitting around the large square table with the extended family and having a fire down on the beach below the bluff. Toys and water sports gear in the garage was really helpful. Will definitely go back again!

Cozy weekend at the pilot house

This house was GREAT. It was cozy, charming, and well equipped. We felt at home right away. We spent the first evening cozied on the couch to watch the sunset, cooked a wonderful dinner, and did a puzzle from the great selection. The next day we walked all the way to Hug Point. I can't wait to stay here again. It felt like home!

Beautiful stay at the beach!

We enjoyed a lovely 4 night stay at the Pilot House. The house was spacious, well equipped and very clean. We had great weather and were able to make bonfires on the beach just below the house and enjoy many beautiful sunsets. Arch cape is a lovely area that is close to everything, but far enough to be quiet and not crowded. The games at the house were a plus since we were traveling with a 3 yr old. We also made friends with the 2 rabbits who frequented the backyard.
