About this property

Ocean Views, Quiet, Unique Artistry, Beach Access, Hot Tub

With stunning ocean views, elegant style, and artistic elements, The Mermaid is truly unique. Nestled in Arch Cape, about 70 miles west of Portland, this tranquil getaway affords easy access to the beach along a nature trail. Once upon a time a live album (Arch Cape Sessions) was recorded in the living room, writers have holed up for weeks on end to focus on their craft, and families and artists have come to the Mermaid to refresh, relax, and reflect.

When the tide is out, wander North around various sandstone outcroppings to Hug Point, Arcadia Beach, even all the way to Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. Wander South around the Cape and you will find the Arches for which Arch Cape is named, and some exquisite tidepools. Fine dining and shopping are minutes away in Cannon Beach to the North, and Manzanita to the South.

The Mermaid sleeps 6, offers a full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, washer/dryer, large upper and lower decks, and a hot tub with an ocean view.


We are excited for you to experience this unique place, and look forward to hearing from you! Please email us with your interest!

Great location and nice place. Had everything our families needed to enjoy a relaxing few days on the coast. Note that you will be expected to do almost all the laundry before you leave.

Can’t even begin to thank Rose and the hospitality she showed us coming back. We loved being able to relax and recoup from our daily travels up and down the Oregon coast in this beautiful home. The artistic details and cozy furniture really made this place feel like a home away from home. I hope many more travelers will come to experience the joy and serenity we did when staying here.

Beautiful stay!
When we arrived the house was beautifully cleaned and looked super cozy. We loved the hot tub and the quick drive to cannon beach. The bed was very comfortable, the owners were extremely communicative, and the view of the beach and sunsets every night were breathtaking! We would love to come back and stay when we’re in town again!

Beautiful Getaway
We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful, unique home in Arch Cape. The kitchen is well appointed, everything was very clean and comfortable. It's a short 5 min drive to Cannon Beach and is quiet and relaxing, away from the busyness and tourism of town. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings, listening to the ocean waves, and took several nice walks down a short path to the beach. Just lovely! The owners were very sweet and accommodating in our communications, and we look forward to another vacation there!

Oregon Coast Getaway
The Mermaid is a lovely spot to stay on the Oregon Coast. It is a quiet and peaceful location to relax, and it is a great home base as you branch out to explore the coast. The town of Cannon Beach is just minutes away. The kitchen is well stocked.

Anniversary Trip
We got 3 rainy days there. It was a cozy place to be glad to come home to. The hot tub was well kept. The kitchen had every item you could dream of. The walk to beach was perfect & safe never had to cross route 101 to get there. So close to Cannon Beach & great food/shopping. We loved it !
