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 view from second level

Spiral staircase was one negative. And that the shower was not on the same level as the hot tub, therefore making it quite precarious to rinse off before or after use. Perhaps add a hand held shower nozzle to upstairs tub?

Perfect ocean view home

The Mermaid House is a special, unique, Arch Cape home filled with artful touches and beautiful views. This home is perched on a hill in a private wooded area. The sunsets were stunning and the ocean sounds lulled us to sleep each night. The top deck has a hot tub perfect for stargazing and relaxing after a day walking on the beach. So well appointed and clean- we didn’t want for anything. The host was timely and helpful in her communication. We Definitely recommend this home for your beach stay.

Perfect Long Weekend

My wife and I stayed 3 amazing nights here. The house is nicely appointed, the kitchen fully stocked, checkin/out was a breeze and communication with the owners was awesome. The best part was the view, from the kitchen while cooking dinner, the lower patio for coffee, and from the upper deck hottub. The forest surrounding the neighborhood is lush and gorgeous. The sound of the ocean was just what we needed. The location is perfect, with plenty of restaurant and grocery choices between Cannon Beach and Manzanita.There is plenty of good hiking in the area if you are in to that, we really like Oswald State Park. Overall, perfect trip and perfect house, wish it had been longer. Definitely plan on going back!

Arch Cape Get-a-way

We hit the Oregon Coast with sunshine and no wind. The house is perfect - well kept, everything worked, comfy bed, and beautiful view of the ocean. The path to the beach was remarkable. Great stay, great home.

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!

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 !

Unique spot in Arch Cape!

Loved the view, beautiful walk to the beach, and well apportioned home. We were three generations and this home suited us well. If any of us had had challenge with stairs it would have been different as the spiral stairs up to the second floor were tricky. One of the two upstairs bedrooms is more of a loft as it’s open to the downstairs on one wall. Hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed the fire pit. The biggest downside for us was there no barbecue to be found but we were guessing they maybe were replacing an old one as we saw grill tools.
