Home at Bears Head - Arch Cape, OR

Wish we could post pictures here - they say a 1000 words.
As a photographer, this location offers many opportunities to capture some of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular raw, unspoilt coastlines.

In the absence of pictures, here some words, to try and capture the feeling this home created during our stay.

We are keen outdoors people, so access to wilderness, beach, outdoors is key to our agenda.

When we arrived on this wintery weekend, the home was in a very clean state. (Contrary to the previous reviews)

Our first impressions were of the amazing ocean views, from every room in the house. No matter what your agenda is for your time here, you'll most definitely come home a a room with a spectacular view. In the winter, you can enjoy the the over sized fireplace and while taking in the views of stormy seas, and overwhelming sound of the crashing waves. No doubt that in the summertime, the great lawn in front of the home, will make for spectacular sunset views and even a bonfire under the stars.

This home can certainly double as a great summer or winter getaway. It is very private, and even though the neighboring homes are within clear view, their configurations are such that this home is set back a little, affording it the privacy you need. This area of Arch Cape is located at the foot of the hills, and while this home is somewhat in the clear, the rest of the community is mostly in wooded area, with the morning sunrise a little later than normal, due to the hills to the east. But that's no problem, because this home is situated in a location which is most perfect for enjoying beach sunsets. Google earth will help with your location scouting here.

There is no direct beach access from this home, since it sits higher on the bluff, but beach access is via an access path, a few homes down the road.

The host can consider stocking more firewood. Especially during the winter. But as a backup plan, bring your own firewood, because you'll want to make an occasion of the fireplace when you're home. It was the center of our stay during the entire weekend. We burnt through about five times what was provided by the host.

Kitchen is stocked with everything you need for preparing and feeding an entire family, baking some of your own creations.

In all, a dramatic private scenery and with easy access via a short drive to the nearby villages for stocking up on the essentials.

A drawback of this location can be considered to be no/limited wireless/cel coverage...but the wifi in the home makes up for that.

You'll want to visit this home for it's exclusive and private oceanfront location, affording you the most amazing sunset views or breakfast overlooking this dramatic coastline.

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of sharing your home and the experience it's location offers.

Great place to unwind and look at the beauty of the Oregon Coast. Peaceful and off the beaten track. Amazing views that go on and on. You'll love the uniqueness of the decor and the cheerfulness of this home. Very well kept and equipped. A welcome change from the expected seagull and lighthouse motifs that you find everywhere. Great art at the beach is always a bonus!!!!

We've stayed at many beach houses over the years & this house has the most incredible view! Beach access may be difficult for some @ Arch Cape, but views more than make up for it, & Cannon & Manzanita beaches are easier & nearby.

Beautiful home and the best view of the ocean I have ever experienced. I grew up in Hawaii , so that says a lot. The house is clean and well stocked with everything you need. I felt pampered, almost spoiled. Heart warming memories of walks on the beach, evenings by the fire, dinners with a view. It was difficult to say good bye.

We had a wonderful time! The view when you walk in the house is breathtaking! It was the perfect weekend getaway for my husband and I and our 2 friends. The house was very comfortable and a great location with fabulous views! We'll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time at 'Bears Head'. The property is nicely situated high to give ones a wonderful & expansive view of the Pacific. Because of this perched view, beach access lacks onsite, but a short walk down the private road quickly gets you there. Then ones have to traverse small size smooth shaped rocks to actually get to the sandy beach when tide is out. We simply drove a short distance to Hug Point to do our beach walking. No complaints here though, as the view and sounds of the ocean at the home were wonderful as we sat out on their large deck sipping on refreshments. There were minor things we discovered at Bears Head, but over all, this is a very nice property to spend a few days enjoying the mighty Pacific Ocean!
