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!

We loved our stay here! It ended up being rainy and this was the perfect setting to enjoy a rainy Oregon coast day. The view is great, the hot tub was excellent and the general decor and vibe was perfectly coastal. The path to the beach is super convenient too.

Second time we stayed at this place. Clean, great location, all the cooking “gadgets” you could ever need. Short, easy walk to the beach and a quick drive to Cannon Beach or Seaside. Communication with owners was good. A lot of good hiking trails not far from the house with some spectacular views. If you haven’t visited this part of the country, it’s worth the trip.

We had an amazing weekend. Great dining and shopping in Cannon Beach and Seaside. The house was perfect for us. We would have loved the hot tub but the rain was a deterrent. Would definitely stay again.

The place this house is located in is SO beautiful and quiet. It was awesome to go in to the busy Cannon Beach and Seaside where is is bustling and then come back to this home for peace. This house had everything we needed. The hot tub was very much used by our teens. The trail from the house to the beach was lovely, it is a bit of a walk, but it is nice. The walk home is uphill, so be prepared! LOVED our stay!
