I love Singing Sands. You can’t beat the location. You walk out the door, across the lawn, down the new steps to the sand. Had some low tides in the afternoon and found several sand dollars.

Classic Arch Cape getaway
Singing Sands was exactly what I was looking for in a rental at Arch Cape. I grew up visiting my grandmother's house a few blocks north. I love that the owner's have kept the classic look of an Arch Cape house - same paneling, same windows, same bathroom sinks, etc., as my grandmother's and then filled with the owners own antiques. It is truly a gem! If you are looking for a flip straight out of HGTV then this is not the place you want. However, if you want to enter the cozy and quaint atmosphere of classic Arch Cape, with the added bonus of a well equipped kitchen, comfy seating areas with spectacular views of the ocean, and, oh yeah, direct beach access, then this is the place.

Good stay but home needs some TLC
We have stayed at Singing Sands a number of times and always enjoy it. We love the quiet area and the direct access to the beach. The home does need some love, the back door's lock is too corroded to lock, the fridge was very dirty, and the walls in the dining room need to be wiped down. Definitely wouldn't keep us from staying again though.

'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.
