We loved it so much that we cooked for ourselves that night.The management were very friendly and helpful.We really appreciated that as... More

We desparately needed a restful and serene escape and found the exact solution in The WAVES. What a quiet, well cared for property! Its location is perfect for walking to the quaint shps and botiques and a fabulous coffee cafe is right across the street! Our room faced the ocean and couldn't have been more peaceful as we enjoyed the... More

We stayed four nights at the Townhouse, Argonauta Inn, which is part of The Waves. We found it perfect for a three generation visit, including a 1-1/2 year old. The location was ideal just off the beach and within easy walking distance of the center of the village of Cannon Beach. We used the kitchen for quite a few of... More

We had a car, so could stay a couple of miles out of the charming town ---although my kids ran easily that far every morning for exercise! We were not on the beach, but had a great view, and the ocean was a one minute walk from our deck. Everything in the condo was well appointed and well kept. Since... More

We stayed in the Flagship king studio rooms with a beautiful view of the beach. The location is excellent for nice long walks and runs on the beach, walking to dinner, and making breakfast in the room (with a beautiful view). The fireplace makes the rainy and windy times seem cozy. Lots of places to hike and explore. It made... More

With no reservations for Cannon Beach we looked around and price compared. This place is fantastic! We didn't have an ocean view, but a peak at it and it was still a great room and a great experience. The owner, Frank was super nice with lot;s of local knowledge. The room was very spacious, comfortable and super clean. The linens... More

Thank you for being a guest at The Waves Cannon Beach. We try hard to have affordable, comfortable accommodations for all size groups. Being on the beach or close by and still in the center of the village makes everything accessible by walking. After many years at the motel it is my pleasure to give as much information about our...

We stayed in the Flagship King Studio and were impressed with the great view and easy access to beach. Clean modern room with instant gas fireplace made for a cozy stay. Hated to leave! Seemed like the sea gull who perched on the balcony had the same idea. Very close to shops and restaurants. Haystack Rock is probably a 20... More

Our Flagship building at The Waves Cannon Beach was designed to provide our guests with a great view of the Pacific Ocean, the Tillamook Lighthouse, the rocks fronting Ecola State Park. The wave action against these rocks and just washing up on the beach in front of the building can provide hours of enjoyment and relaxation. All this and your... More

The rooms at The Waves are wonderful - and I was so surprised to see the full kitchen! The "Studio" rooms in the Colina part of the hotel each include a kitchen all along one wall - sink, mini-fridge with freezer, microwave and stove. They even have cupboards stocked full of everything else you might need - pots and pans,... More

The ability to have a bowl of cereal or cup of soup, of your choice, when you choose makes having a kitchen facility a great amenity. Most all rooms at The Waves Cannon Beach allows our guests this option. Not only does it save money from eating all meals out but it saves precious waiting time with the small ones.... More

We spent 4 nights there recently and are already looking forward to staying there again. We picked it for its location and the photos on line and got everything we had hoped for.

We enjoy our "older" guests that have spent time on the beach and in the sand as well at those younger families that are beginning their memories. The Waves Cannon Beach is located conveniently located just steps for the beach and the village. This allows all ages to enjoy what this community has to offer. Thank you for sharing part... More
