“This beachfront property strikes me as a solid choice in Cannon Beach. The range of suite sizes, from studios to three-bedroom units, and the kitchens or kitchenettes are definite advantages for families or longer stays. I also appreciate the multiple outdoor spaces and the obvious care taken in maintaining the grounds.”
