About this property

Ocean Front Retreat Cabin

Just south of Cannon Beach, OR, Far Cry is located down a secluded, wooded road and sits just above the beach with a full view of the Pacific Ocean. The north end of the beach is Cove Beach and at low tide a cave to Arch Cape is accessible. To the south is Falcon Cove named after Cape Falcon, a headland which rises 750' out into the Pacific Ocean. Maximum of four occupants. There are two separate bedrooms, one bath, a fireplace, hiking trails and lots of old movies and games, comfy chairs in which to relax your cares away and of course 180 degrees of ocean right outside. The kitchen is stocked with spices and cooking utensils. Fresh linens await your arrival. For now, 1-2 dogs are welcome for a $25 per dog. Water is to be conserved at all times.
Welcome to Far Cry:
'The Sea runs wild and beautiful in our blood, which probably explains why the far cry of the gull haunts us even beyond earshot. So our ocean home, forever beckoning, is named 'Far Cry.'

What a beautiful spot to stay and relax. It was like having our own private beach. The host was easy to communicate with, but we didn't really need to because all the information we needed had been provided. Would definitely stay again.

It was just what we were looking for on our first trip to Pacific NW! The beach was only steps from the house and offered a perfect peaceful setting with no crowds. Nice neighborhood. Long walks at low tide, wave sounds to sleep by and colorful sunsets. Owner very responsive and easy to work with. I wish we lived closer to visit more often!

Beautiful views

This place was perfect! The views were incredible and it seemed like you had your own personal beach. It’s private and secluded, yet less than 15 minute drive to Cannon Beach. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful retreat!

We loved our stay with our pups at Cape Arch Far Cry cottage! It is peaceful and so comfortable. We loved having a front row view of the ocean waves. It is also close to Manzanita and Cannon Beach for stores, restaurants and beach walks. It was perfect for our getaway!

View was tremendous and the cabin could be over the top, but not so much. The unit was not clean. HEAVY DUST all about, on top of the frig, the cloth hooks in the bathroom, the display washcloths etc. The fireplace did not really draw smoke from the room even though the flew was completely open…smoke alarm sounded twice. Had to get fire really hot before that improved. Lights weren’t working near entrance when we arrived. Found the GFCI had tripped. Brighter LED light fixtures would help. The dehumidifier rattles like crazy, very loud. Baseboard heaters are worn out. Only one has a known that worked. System needs updating. I would hang a split air unit in there, tag those baseboard heaters and you’d be golden. Constantly worried about running water and overloading the septic, didn’t happen we were good. Furnishings need updating. It’s obvious some improvements have been made, but could be so much more for not too much money. Food for thought

Good view but many drawbacks to rental

The view is very good. Unfortunately, the heating system, lighting, cabinets (too high for most women), steps (too high and no handrails and water/septic (small capacity, very limited) are lacking. Would work for a young, couple but problematic for older folks, folks with mobility challenges, and families with small children.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Buying Far Cry in 1985-86 on New year's Eve was a dream come true. The house was a true fixer. Over the years improvements were made, but the integrity of the 1953 original house was maintained. A strip of the original wall colors was left in the hall way just for fun. Far Cry is in a quiet residential neighborhood. It is private without being too remote . The best part is the 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean. I hope you enjoy my little piece of Heaven as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

There are security cameras installed at the exterior front door and the SE exterior corner.
