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. The room has a 180 degree view of the coastline and is right up against the bulkhead. We spent one glorious afternoon just sitting on our private... More

My 90-year-old mother and I stayed here, and it was great. It was a short walk to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the beach. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. We opted for the non-ocean view, which was very reasonably priced. The staff in the office were helpful about restaurants and sightseeing. I would definitely return... More

My husband and I decided to spend our first wedding anniversary in Cannon Beach, OR in March. We used the internet to search for hotels and found The Waves. The website was easy to navigate, the price was right and the pictures showing the room were wonderful. We like to make our own breakfast and this room provided a kitchenette... More

My favorite thing is to park and everything is in walking distance. The room was well outfitted with a kitchenette, fireplace, kingsize bed, table with chairs, tv with dvd to... More

My husband, 7-year-old son and I stayed at The Waves' White Heron Lodge this past weekend. My parents had given us a gift certificate that was going to expire, so we decided to brave the rainy weather report and go anyway. What a great decision! The room we had at the White Heron was so nice and clean and cozy,... More

Thank goodness the weatherman didn't scare you off. The White Heron and all of Cannon Beach can be enjoyable no matter what the weather brings. On the good days play on the lawn out front or down on the beach and creek. The nasty weather lets us get to know one another again with a game of cards, a puzzle,... More

We stayed in a king bed studio in the Flagship building, and it was terrific in every way. Large, comfortable, wonderful unobstructed views, right on the beach, attractive and unobtrusive kitchenette, and warming gas fireplace. (The other buildings in the complex are generally further away from the beach and, for the most part, overlook parking areas or other buildings.) In... More

My sister and I stayed at The Waves on March 9th, 2013. We arrived without a reservation and we were greeted with a very friendly staff. We had a choice of rooms available and we were able to have a "sneak peek" before deciding on what type of room to stay in. We decided to stay in an oceanfront room,... More

My wife and I stayed in a condo managed by The Waves. The accomadations were clean, well kept and updated. The entire staff was very resposive and friendly. When we return to Cannon Beach we will contact Frank, Valerie or Paula from The Waves for accomodations. Highly recommended.
