Sea Sprite at Haystack Rock

Incredible value. The views are unbeatable, even from our first floor studio. The chairs on the bluff are comfy and the beach is incredibly walkable, particularly at low tide. Most rooms have kitchens - a great way to get around the cost of meals in the area if you don't mind making a sandwich or getting some pastries for breakfast. There are fun things to do in the town and in the area, but the place is so astoundingly beautiful that sitting around all day is also a prime option. It is actually easier to walk into town on the sand - or bike on the wet sand - as the road is windy and narrow. The major tide pools are about a half mile up or down the beach and worth a look for all the creatures you get to see. The rocks are just there, majestic, and glorious and you can see them from the inn. There are also feral/semi-tame rabbits running around and they are very cute. Overall an amazing spot, quiet but not too far from town, and astounding views all around.

The Sea Sprite - Sand Dollar Suite 2 - was perfect for the short overnight stay my boyfriend and I took to the coast. The room was extremely clean, very comfortable, ready for us much earlier than expected, had a great convenient parking spot dedicated to the room, and fantastic easy access to the grass lawn and beach just steps away. The view from the living room window was stunning. The lawn bunnies were an unexpected bonus. We could not have been happier with our choice to stay here - thank you to Lori and team!

This is our favorite place to stay on the coast! It is a beach walk away from the town restaurants and shops, yet far enough away for relaxing apart from the crowds. The kitchenettes are the best, and the hosts are awesome!

Update 4/17/24:

We continue to visit Cannon Beach once or twice a year now, and SeaSprite is the only place my family or I will stay. I am sure the other places are lovely, but you just can't beat the access to the beach, the incredible views, the fun little rabbits, and the cute bungalows. And the staff!!!

We are always greeted warmly, and we love to talk to the team and just catch up on the things that are happening in the area.

Linens are clean. Beds are comfy, and we like having kitchenette areas in the rooms if we don't feel like dining out.

At this point I think we have stayed in most of the rooms in the main house and love them all. But I will always vote for the upper rooms, because the patio views are tough to beat!

Simple bungalows, but super close to the beach! Our first time to Oregon, and I am so glad we picked to stay here instead of anywhere else! Amazing views right out the windows! And the beach is mere steps away! Great chairs to sit and watch the ocean, and the coolest bunny rabbits that just hop around.

This was my happy place. I fell in love 2 seconds after arriving. Cozy, clean, everything we wanted.
Ours was Lighthouse #4, directly facing the ocean. Haystack Rock was to our right.
Lots of bunnies, seagulls right by us!
A word of caution, the town Cannon Beach pretty much shuts down at 7 p.m. ! You better eat early, buy groceries or run over to Seaside,( great place also), they have fast food and stuff there. 6 miles up the road.

Love this place , come every year for my birthday. The location is awesome and the customer service is outstanding!

The Sea Sprite was a perfect place to spend my Saturday night! Just a few steps out your door and you’re on the beach! The room was clean, bed was comfortable and it had a little kitchen with all the utensils ready for cooking! There’s also a bunch of friendly bunnies that hangout on the property running around the little patch of grass out front. Overall it was a great stay and I definitely recommend anyone to stay there!w

Delightful.

These cosy apartments were a delightful place to stay. Located as close to the beach as you would safely like to be they offer the sights and sounds of the coast right outside your window.

Comfy and well maintained, I would highly recommend to anyone.

The kitchen was well stocked, the oven worked well, and there were plenty of utensils, washing up products, and helpful instructions, including an information folder about the town.

The bathroom was excellent too. Wonderful soaps and shower products.

I’ve traveled all over the world and this is one of the best places I’ve stayed at. It’s not a luxury experience, but it has the best view, most convenient location, and nicest staff. The wifi was also incredible - two of us worked from home and took calls at the same time with absolutely no issue. We stayed in one of the suites that has its own porch, kitchen, and direct view of Haystack Rock. We wanted to stay longer! All the amenities were included (soap, paper towels, salt/pepper, sponge, etc) which made cooking a breeze. Would love to come in the summer and grill outside in better weather! 11/10 would recommend

The staff was so kind and friendly! The view was amazing! The cottage was clean and cozy. I can’t imagine a better place to stay at Cannon Beach, so much better than a hotel! Even the bunnies on the beach were friendly and adorable 😊 Thank you for making my first vacation in many years so memorable!

Quality for price cannot be beat. Location location location - it's ideal with front row views of Haystack Rock and easy to get to just a jump off the beaten path. Staff were amazing and provided a pack and play and high chair for my little. We would and likely will absolutely visit again.

Came here with my mother for a graduation trip. They have games and movies in the front office to borrow and the staff is just wonderful. The bed in our room was a little stiff but that's all up to personal taste as my mom loved it! I ended up sleeping on the couch which was actually pretty comfy and not a bad alternative. We had a great view of the beach and haystack rock. And there are the cutest wild bunnies that run around in the yard! I would stay here again.

We stayed in the Sand Dollar suite 2… It was magnificent! The view is breathtaking, the ocean and EVEN Haystack Rock. I was worried that with this room I would not be able to see the rock but you sure can!! We moved the table from the window area to the side and pushed the futon up close to the window so we could put our feet up on the window seal… We sat there for hours just looking out the window! BEAUTIFUL! The staff is nice and friendly. The room was perfect, has character for sure! This will definitely be an annual trip for us.. If not bi-annual lol =)

This place is great, and holds a special place in my heart. It's where my partner and I first told each other we loved each other, and 2 years later, where he proposed to me. The staff is very nice, it has comfortable beds, a great view of haystack rock. It also has a nice picnic area if you don't feel like getting sandy, but want to enjoy the view. I love it.

The room was spacious with a full kitchen and king sized bed. We were upgraded to a room with a fireplace at no extra charge and they accommodated a late check-in with no issues. My only complaint was that the internet speeds were pretty terrible but if you're staying here you're probably not all that interested in sitting on your computer all day.

What a great place to stay! Gorgeous views of the beach, ocean, and Haystack Rock. Very clean and very quiet. We'll be booking our beach vacations here from now on!

After spending a 4 day weekend here, my Wife and I have fallen in love with these amazing accommodations. The view is unmatched, rooms are warm and comfortable, and enjoying the local cuisine takeout,...was squared away!

Wonderful place to stay. Great for our family of 5. Rooms and cottage was very clean, staff very nice. Short walk right to the beach. And the local bunnies were really cute.

The Sea Sprite was a great get-away location for us. The room was bright and clean and the service was friendly. Beautiful view from the room and the back yard on the property. I highly recommend this place...

Beautiful walk. Easily accessible versus other beaches we came across down the coast.
