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 the house, neighborhood and the access to the beach. The spiral staircase is beautiful but it's really narrow and tricky to navigate with luggage.

This house was perfect for us! The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and both the upper and lower decks offered beautiful views. The hot tub was the perfect bonus and a wonderful way to relax after a day of exploring.

Our Cannon Beach escape was amazing! The house is in a great location, and was ideal. We didn’t realize that the staircase was so narrow and steep, so getting larger luggage upstairs was challenging. We couldn’t stay in the hot tub for very long, because of the high temperature. Other than that it was awesome!! Our hosts were very accommodating, and helped us out with checking in earlier than expected.

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.
