The McBee cottages were just what I was looking for--I didn't want a typical hotel or resort, but something more unique. These cottages have a nostalgic feel, but totally updated. Very clean inside, cozy, and just a short walk to the beach--look out the door and there's the ocean. The classic rooms are fine for two, though if you prefer some extra space, it may be worth upgrading to a room that sleeps 3-4 for the pull out couch.
Check-in at the Cannon Beach Hotel was easy--treats wait for guests checking in, plus a little cafe is attached to the lobby. Their free DVD rental is a nice bonus.
A few good restaurants nearby, plus a convenience store and coffee shop. Walk to downtown takes about 10-15 minutes, or a very quick drive. If McBee cottages are too small for your taste, they also own larger rentals next door. Book directly on their website and get a discount as a first time visitor, plus less expensive in off season. http://www.cannonbeachhotel.com/More
