Description
Experience the Oregon coast from this very special spectacular home in Arch Cape, completely rebuilt and remodeled in 2021 by architect-owners who lovingly transformed this into a full-time residence they lived in for several years. Because they spent year-round on the oceanfront, they had time to experience all the wonders that makes visiting here so special, and now they would like to share it with you, your family, and friends.
The house is situated on a large lot that is both beachfront (with private access) and perched high enough to have stunning views of everything from the two-mile beach, Castle Rock, the mountains to the east and south, the flyway for many species of birds, and the whales when they hang out for dinner a few yards from the deck while the sun is setting. The seasonal pelicans are mesmerizing as they swoop in formation to hover just above the water and close to shore to catch their favorite fish. They can hang out next to Asbury creek to the south, sometimes dozens just chilling with the seagulls who are half their size! It’s a shout out along the coastal social media when they arrive, along with the Puffins on Haystack rock to the north a few miles.
Amazing vistas await you, from the ocean waves to (winter) snowcapped 3000’ Onion Peak from the main rooms, including the kitchen, dining, family bedroom ( The Gardern suite ), loft bedroom ( Captains suite ) and primary bedroom (on the second floor with its own deck - Castle Rock suite). If not hunting agates, hiking in the hills, or enjoying the waves, it’s possible (at low tide) to walk all the way to Cannon Beach, but you will probably want to stop at Hug Point to enjoy the caves and the waterfall!
There are several outside roomy areas for groups to hang out, from the large wrap around deck to the east front patio (great spot for no wind and morning sun and coffee) to the grassy lawn for playtime which can move to the fire pit terrace for s’mores in the evening and is easily accessed by a sidewalk along the north side of the house.
Inside the main living area (with the best glass front woodstove we have ever used) has space for everyone, and there are games and puzzles galore when not watching the 75” TV. Making meals is extra special with state-of-the-art appliances, including a Wolf induction stove top, a microwave drawer, refrigerator freezer, dishwasher, and countertops made of Dekton - a new Italian countertop product ready to take hot dishes off the stove.
The interiors were designed to be bright and happy, using Scandinavian, coastal and antique inspirations in finishes and fixtures. Most of the walls of the home are custom wood paneled, with painted hemlock and natural Port Orford cedar, and patterned tiles were used to create fun and inviting spaces. A 1920s wood-stained glass entry door from a home in Cannon Beach and an antique stained-glass window from Carmel by the Sea California gives the house unique character, along with the custom staircase design of fish cut outs and bubbles of glass floats.
Other amenities that guests will enjoy include two jacuzzi tubs (primary and family bedrooms) hot water outdoor showers, German made Kettler ping pong table in the garage, basketball, boogie boards for the water lovers, and all-weather Adirondack deck chairs and cushioned chaises to park yourself and your favorite meal. In addition to the bunk beds, a captains’ bed, and full-service laundry room, the house was designed specifically to accommodate people with more limited mobility, with accessibility to the entire main floor, decks, patios, and firepit, and a bedroom with electric adjustable beds and an accessible bath ensuite. And if the power goes out, the solar back up batteries will provide some lights, plugs and power the refrigerator so you are not in the dark. Time to use the woodstove if it’s cold!
For a full list of amenities and other information, please see the attached complete description of the home and property. We look forward to hearing about all the wonderful experiences you have at Whaletopia!

Glorious scenery seen from an exceptional house! Ages 6 to 84, we all delighted in the beautiful furnishings and easy access to the beach and its wonderful walks. From the morning mists to the evenings bonfires, we had a fabulous week at Whaletopia!

I had the most incredible stay at this beachfront house! From the moment I arrived, I was mesmerized by the breathtaking views of the ocean stretching out before me. Every evening, I was treated to stunning sunsets painting the sky in hues of pink and gold. The interior of the house was just as impressive, with stylish decor and cozy furnishings that made me feel right at home. Whether I was lounging in the living room with a good book or cooking dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen, I couldn't help but feel relaxed and content. This beachfront house truly provided the perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making it a home away from home that I'll never forget. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay!

Everything was spectacular from the moment we pulled into the driveway. Even though the weather was overcast, the view on the deck was beautiful! The house had plenty of space and was very clean and comfortable. Having access to the beach from the backyard was a huge plus, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay, cant wait to come back!! Thank you!

We had the pleasure of staying at whaletopia over spring break. This place had it all! We love to cook and enjoy family time which this house accommodated perfectly. The kitchen was extremely well stocked which can be hard to find in rentals. The tea selection was to die for! We thoroughly enjoyed the wood burning fireplace as well as the assortment of games and puzzles that were provided. It was imperative to have handicapped accessibility for my son and this house hit the mark. The easy access to the beach out the back door was priceless. We had extended family meet us at this dream home and it was so relaxing for everyone to have their own sleeping areas with separate bathrooms. We loved all the extensive details that were put into this amazing home. We cannot wait to book here again, it was an absolute delight!
