We were a party of 8, ranging in age from 16-50. We traveled to Arch Cape from the Mt St Helen’s area. On our way to Arch Cape, we stopped in Astoria and found the Goonies house and jail. Then we traveled down the coast to Ecola State Park and followed the Crescent Trail down to Crescent Beach. The views were incredible, and we saw adolescent elk munching on grass and a puffin flying into a hole on one of the rocks. We hiked back to our car and took the short drive to Arch Cape. The home is spectacular. Definitely luxury, with a gourmet kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, and plenty of comfortable seating and beds, views that take your breath away, and it is just a short walk to the beach. On the beach, we saw sea anemones, fish, puffins, and a starfish. We’re from the east coast, so suffice to say it’s like no other beach we’ve walked. When we arrived, we had trouble with the lock. The owner was quick to respond and assist. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.
