Sona Tra (Gaelic for "Happy Beach")

Exceeded our expectations
A blissful four days ended too soon! The location alone makes this a magical spot - Arch Cape is a bit off the beaten path, away from the crowds at Cannon Beach, but close enough to Cannon Beach that it's easy to pop in for lunch, dinner, and groceries. The house itself is immaculate and very, very comfortable. We've had some less than stellar experiences at other properties recently, and are pretty picky, so this place was a welcome change. Aside from the location and crazy views, the house was just right. Did I mention I mention it was immaculate? It was also very well equipped - kitchen was well set up, and functional, wifi was excellent, towels galore, and the king bed upstairs was super comfortable. Property management was helpful, but unobtrusive. All in all, it was a perfect stay, and we hope to be back!

Gorgeous ocean retreat!
Beautiful most amazing peaceful ocean retreat! Most amazing views in nearly every room. Comfy beds and furniture. Smart TV which was a nice touch. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need including some spices! Super peaceful and away from the crowds but close to shopping and other activities. We honestly did NOT want to leave. LOVED this place so much and look forward to going again..hopefully soon!

What a view - what a house!
View was exemplary. The house was well equipped with a large living space for all guests The two balconies fro the master bedroom were lovely - especially the one with the view and the sound of the sea

Wonderful retreat at the ocean
Excellent property right on the beach in quiet Arch Cape. An older beach house that has been renovated and updated with high quality furnishings, bedding and kitchen supplies (Cuisinart, Breville, etc.). Great open space in main living area, nice separation with none of the 3 bedrooms right next to one another. Nice touches like a supply of puzzles, books (kids and adults), sand toys and beach chairs made it easy to just show up and relax. And the service was great - we took advantage of their grocery shopping service and appreciated the email after our first night checking in to see that we had everything we needed. Loved it!

Beautiful property, perfect location, high quality all around
My husband and I stayed here in late September. The stay was wonderful, and we anticipate coming back to Sona Tra in the future. When we vacation, we want to feel the luxuries of home and then some. Sona Tra met every expectation. The highlights: LOCATION. The location is perfect. It was quiet, peaceful, and secluded. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. It is in close proximity to Cannon Beach and Manzanita, so you still get the benefit of some shops, coffee, and food (our favorites were Manzanita News & Espresso and Sea Level in Cannon Beach). Sona Tra is also right next to Oswald West State Park (check out the tide pools). PROPERTY. The house and property were as described. The furnishings are higher end, and the property was very clean. It does have a few elements that are not updated, but are in impressively good shape. It still felt very clean. The pillows are to die for (I actually looked them up and purchased some for at home). I haven't slept that good for 3 years (which may be due to my toddlers, but I'm attribute at least 75% of it to the pillows). The kitchen is fully loaded (blenders, counter top mixer, and I think there was even an instapot/rice cooker). The best part by far though was the master bedroom. There is a balcony on one side looking inland and a balcony looking over the ocean. Both are stunning. (Keep in mind the master is upstairs and there is no door). PROPERTY MANAGMENT. The instructions we received were clear, access to the property was easy, and they checked in once we arrived to make sure everything was satisfactory. No complaints here. HIGHLIGHTS/SUMMARY. Hands down, we would come back to Sona Tra. We didn't bring the kids this time, but being in a less populated area, it would be a great location to bring them. The house is very kid friendly (we even noticed some gaming systems, lots of DVDS/kids books, etc.) It was also great for a couple's getaway.

Perfect spot to sit and relax!
Very happy with this spot in Arch Cape. Away from the bustle of the city, right on the water, couldn’t ask for more! Thanks DK for another great stay!

Family fun
We had a Wonderful vacation at Sona Tra .. spending most of our days on the beach directly in front of the house. We were very happy with this property and would highly recommend.

Great Beach Get Away
This home couldn't be better located on the beach. And the while the views are awe inspiring the thing that really set this home apart from others we have stayed at is how truly clean it was. For a house that allows dogs it was remarkable. I would give the clean rating 10-stars if I could.

Wonderful Stay at Sona Tra
The home was beautiful and well appointed. Perfect location in a quiet spot of Arch Cape but close to Cannon Beach and Manzanita. Great customer service from Nannette at Starfish Rentals. We would definitely come back here again!
