Scandia North in Cannon Beach was a cozy cottage with a well equipped kitchen, a fabulous peak-a-boo view of the ocean from the porch, and short walking distance to the estuary, beach, shops, cafes, and restaurants. Neighbors were friendly. The vibe was safe, fun, and relaxing. I'd add a hook to the back patio for drying wet things or a short clothes line, but my bungee also worked fine.
