LUXURY OCEAN VIEW RETREAT: Enjoy spectacular ocean views framed by Haystack Rock and the Needles in this pristine, contemporary 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

VillaView features a commanding straight-on view of the ocean, Haystack Rock, and the Needles where you can watch the daily activities of the famous Haystack tide pools, see breath-taking sunsets and witness the drama of coastal storms as they roll in. There are eleven ocean view windows on the main level, offering a 180-degree panoramic view north to the Tillamook Lighthouse and south to Hug Point and Arch Cape.

Located on the ocean side of Hemlock Street, VillaView is just steps to the beach across a private road of oceanfront homes. Take a leisurely walk on the beach into town to get the morning paper and your coffee or walk the mile through mid-town on the road. You can also take the free shuttle downtown to enjoy the shops, galleries and restaurants.

REFRESH: Contemplate the sea or lose yourself in a novel from the comfort of the Great Room leather recliners. Warm yourself by a cracking fire. Snuggle into the down-filled sofa and watch an old movie or a football game on the oversized flat screen TV. Cable and DVD player with an extensive movie library to choose from.

Indulge in a candlelit Jacuzzi Spa for two. And, if you must remain plugged in, there is a telephone, fax machine, printer, wireless and cable Internet access for your laptop. A commercial sized generator will ensure that you have power throughout your stay.

COOK: Sip wine, create a gourmet meal and have long, luxurious chats in this well-appointed kitchen. Here you'll enjoy a full view of the ocean, where you'll stop often to catch your breath at the ever-changing hue of Haystack Rock as the sun sets or the storms roll in.

The kitchen boasts every possible appliance and gadget and includes spices, foil, plastic wrap, zip lock bags and paper products. The kids will enjoy the ice cream maker, blender and burger boats, while you will enjoy the shaker and blender for creating a martini bar or margarita party!

SLEEP: Drift off to the sound of the ocean, the smell of salt air and the comfort of pillow-top mattresses and fine linens. Plush towels, spa robes and colorful beach towels are also provided for your comfort. The master bedroom has a private bath, king bed, TV and view of Haystack Rock. The Guest bedroom has a queen bed, TV and a view of Haystack Rock.

The bunkroom has a double/twin bunk bed, twin pull-out mattress, TV and partial ocean view. A 'secret bed' resides in the reading area where a cozy chair for two converts to a favored twin bed. And, if stairs are a challenge, the Great Room sofa converts to a queen bed to provide sleeping on the main floor.

PLAY: Bring your beach clothes to layer for sunny or stormy weather. No matter which, be ready for fun-filled days. Books, board games, puzzles, kites, professional sand castle building equipment, baseballs, mitts, sand toys and a Kinect for Xbox 360 are all provided. Boots, raincoats and beachcombing bags are available for even the youngest beachcomber.

And speaking of which...VillaView is baby friendly allowing for safe cruising at any age. Our infant Guests will sleep tight in a Graco Play 'n Pack porta-crib with linens and blankets provided. The Peg Perego highchair, booster chair, stroller and baby monitor provide the convenience of life at your own home.

EXHALE: And don't forget to just 'breathe'. You can watch the birds and whales in their habitat right from the VillaView Great Room. You can relax with a massage, facial or manicure, at the Cannon Beach Spa just minutes away. Take a cooking class and enjoy a gourmet meal at EVOO for a special treat. And as the evening approaches, grab a down throw and a lantern for a romantic glass of wine in the courtyard or on the deck.

Watch the sun set over the ocean, take a long deep breath and exhale. Welcome to your home away from home - VillaView!
