McBee Cottages

I was blessed to stay at this cute little cottage! I loved it. So cute, has everything we needed!
Thank you for such a great visit!

This is one of the properties run by the Cannon Beach Hotel. They are simple and straightforward, cost effective and pet friendly. We booked in the off season so it was easy to get a room. We only stayed one night so we picked the smallest room, which is pretty darn small, but not a problem for a couple and a dog for a night. No frills, you get what you pay for, extra friendly service checking in at the Cannon Beach Hotel. I recommend and would book again.

I don’t often write reviews but had too before we left. We had the best stay here. Beds were super comfy, same with pillows. There was a doggy welcome package which we never get anywhere we go and not even a block from beach. There was an awesome grass spot with firepit too. We will be back. Thank you.

We had a great stay for our anniversary. Stayed in unit 30 and it was cute and clean. Loved the fireplace and the kitchenette was perfect for our needs. They had a cute welcome basket for our dogs. The location was great within walking distance to haystack rock and an easy walk into town. We would definitely stay here again!

Super close to the beach. Our cottage was definitely not as cute or remodeled like the photos on their website, which was very disappointing. Felt very mislead. We had cabin 37. Good size for our small family of three. Nice size fridge and kitchen. In walking distance to everything cannon beach has to offer.

Just got back from our stay at McBee cottages. They were competitively priced and were everything we could have needed for our quick jaunt to the coast. Seeing how this was our first hotel stay with our puppy, we were excited to see the cute dog basket that not only made us smile but was full of functional amenities (poop bags available the entire time on site, very helpful). Yes, the entire place is small but adorable and it’s easy to navigate it for your stay.
We enjoyed watching some DVDs we checked out from the hotel at night and spending each morning moseying down to the ocean for a nice, long walk. The beach is maybe a 45-​second walk away?
All in all a great little spot. My only complaint would be the $ 10 cleaning fee for unwashed items in the kitchen. I have no problems cleaning our dishes (and did!), I just would like to think that the hotel staff made sure they were clean before my arrival and not the prior guests who may or may not have washed them very well.
Other than that, a great little place. Not super fancy but adorable and perfect for its price.
PS dealing with Bonnie for check-​in was lovely. She had superb customer service.
We’ll be back.

Cute and clean with a few nice extras! We stayed in their basic room which had a full sized bed, small table and TV. We had our dog with us, and they gave us a little welcome bucket with doggy rules, an extra towel to wipe sandy paws, a blanket, a food/​water dish, and a milkbone. Most places charge you a pet fee ($ 15) and that’s that.
While the shower was a bit small and room space was at a premium for our bags and walking room, we’d happily stay here again. Good pricing, clean, maid service prompt and during the hours they say they will be there… plus it’s just a few houses from the beach. The only negative is that they don’t want you to leave your dog unattended so you have to plan around that, and there’s no cable, so you have to walk a block to the registration desk and get a dvd to watch (but it’s free, so who cares?).
Would happily stay here again, the price was perfect. We’ve had to pay a lot more to stay in a lot lesser places.

I bought a LivingSocial deal for my Mum for Christmas to the McBee Cottages and we used it this weekend. We fell in love with Cannon Beach — it is a beautiful, little seaside town and there is miles to walk on the beach.
The cottages are very similar to the pictures on here and on the website. We stayed in Cottage 30 and were pleasantly surprised by the use of space and the fact that it actually was ONE block from beach access (they do not have a ocean view though). The cottage was small, but cozy and we made good use of the fire in the winter weather. Added bonus, they are pet-​friendly (for $ 15 a stay)! They greet your pet with a Woof Amenity bucket, which was cute — the only sad part was that it wasn’t addressed for my dog (who’s name they had asked for on booking). It included a bone, towel, blanket, doggy bags, and a dish. Be warned though, while Cannon Beach itself is dog-​friendly, most restaurants do not let dogs inside, so if you want to eat with your furry baby (and McBee has a policy that you are not allowed to leave your pet unattended in the rooms), you have to eat on the decks — which can be cold in the winter!
Pros:
–Close to the beach.
–Cute, cozy cottages
–Pet-​friendly and greeted with a bucket of doggy fun.
Cons:
–Our cottage wasn’t ADA suitable — shower is about half a foot off the ground and is very small.
–Front desk girl was informative, but brisk — she acted as though she was too busy to answer our questions.
–The regular price is very expensive, especially for the winter and the lack of services offered (no housekeeping after 2pm, no desk service after 10pm, requirement to clean up after yourself).
–Cottages and garden are very close to the road — there is a hedge, but maybe an added trellis/​hedge would help to make the property feel more private — we felt that we wouldn’t be comfortable using the fire pit in the summer, due to the closeness of the road and the lack of privacy.
Overall, the cottages are very cute and quaint, pet-​friendly, and close to the beach. However, due to the price, we probably would not stay at the McBee Cottages again unless we got another deal — $ 159 a night to stay by the beach is a little too expensive for what’s offered.

My girlfriends and I had a great stay here a couple weeks ago. We rented a cottage for one night and it was adorable! Good location — close to the beach and restaurants — cute cottage, very clean, and friendly staff. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks!

Economical for $ 99 in the winter. Close walk about ½ block to beach, quaint white cottage décor, wood stove and eating essentials. As warned, although they have it, the wifi is spotty and was not working my room #35. I still think its a great, affordable get-​away.

Great find in a Groupon for two nights for $ 143 — just in time for our trip down the Oregon coast. Great little place — we were in a «grand» suite — full kitchen w/​separate bedroom, living room and bath. Very clean (and we weren’t even in one of the updated rooms) and comfortable. Short walk to the beach — great for our basset hound, Cheers, who was beloved by every shop owner in town! Several people told me the Cannon Beach is a dog town — awesome! (PS — kids… not so much!) We are in love with Cannon Beach and we’ll be back to McBee Cottages for sure.

I recently took advantage of a Living Social deal that let us stay at one of the Cannon Beach Motel properties and we ended up at McBee Cottages because it offers dog friendly lodging. I never know what to expect when I stay in a dog friendly room because sometimes they can be down right scary with the filth and air freshener used to cover up the smell of wet dog. I was a little nervous when we parked in front of our room as the exterior is rather weathered. What a lovely surprise to open the door to our room and find a clean, bright, and very functional suite to spend a few days in. The room was light and bright, had a great gas fireplace to enjoy and a kitchenette that was equipped with the basics. The bathroom was clean and updated, although the single stall shower was on the cozy side (read small). There is a little grassy courtyard out front with picnic tables, chairs and a fire pit. The cottages are on the beach side of 101 you don’t have to cross a busy street to get to the ocean. We walked the block to the beach and easily found two paths that take you over the sand dunes to get to the water. Most people we came across had their dogs on leash so our beach walks were very pleasant, especially since the sun decided to come out most of the time we were there. Our stay was great, except for one wretched eating experience at the Sweet Basil Café and Wine Bar, won’t be back there again! Better to walk up the street to the Irish Table for a fantastic dinner or The Sleepy Monk Café for delicious coffee. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the hard to get past buzzing noise the TV made when playing a movie. We brought a few Netflix to enjoy but the random buzz made it impossible, so we read books by the fire instead. Overall, a great experience and I would go back to McBee again.

I think a lot has changed recently at the McBee cottages, because our experience was nothing like these others’ reviews. We stayed in a lovely little cottage room that was incredibly sweet, quiet and comfortable. The room was impeccably clean, and the styling seemed to be a new update– fresh, simple and cute. The shower was fantastic– truly hot water with great pressure. The bed seemed to be brand new and gave us two of our best nights of sleep in recent history. Flat panel TV with cable and a DVD player. Adorable little kitchen fully stocked, champagne & glasses waiting for us upon arrival, heat on when we arrived and a gas fireplace that turned on with the flip of a switch. Also, we really appreciated the free wi-​fi. Also, the staff at Cannon Beach hotel were so friendly. They helped us find everything we needed, and were very attentive.

My family and I decided to take advantage of having a Monday off and stayed one night on Sunday. I found the cottages to be quaint and comfortable. The room we stayed in was simple, cozy, and just the right size for me, my husband, and a 2 year old. The bathroom was clean and modern which I liked. I did like the little kitchenette, it helped with a snacky toddler. The bed was clean and somewhat comfortable (nothing is as comfortable as your bed at home). All in all it was a pleasant stay despite the wind and driving rain but it was a cozy atmosphere for us. Plus you can’t beat it for $ 60 – 70 bucks.

I came to Cannon Beach for a friend’s wedding in June, no less and we did not have a huge amount of money at the time especially for a June wedding at the coast since everything costs double the price and to book a room you have to pay in full just to make the reservation even. So we waited until, of course, the last minute. I was so happy when I found these cottages because there were like two rooms available and one of them was their half room that is basically a bed and a bathroom — there is no room for much else since the room was situated very strangely. That was all we needed though since we would be out at the wedding beach house most of the weekend partying with friends. The room was cheap — like $ 60 per night because of its size etc. It was clean and besides seeming a touch on the old side I cannot even remotely complain. I loved the courtyard and the cottages themselves are very cute — right in the heart of Cannon Beach.

Simple, clean, close to beach. Not asking a lot, not getting a lot. Sometimes this is what you want at the beach.

Just OK. They allow dogs and it’s not super expensive like a lot of other places in Cannon Beach, so I guess you kind of get what you pay for. The room was very basic. It was clean and had hardwood floors. The shower was tiny. The bed wasn’t super comfy. I’d definitely stay here over the Hearthstone Inn.

Having high expectations was our first mistake! Stay away from room #37! This place felt very dirty! There were stains on the carpet and furniture. For $ 185/​night I expect to have a clean place to relax and enjoy. Also, we found it advantageous to meet your neighbors in the adjoining room. You will be listening to their conversations anyway due to the paper thin walls.
The bathroom was a joke. Super tiny shower! Wall hung sink that had a kitchen faucet that was too big and practically poured water directly on the floor.
The first night there the DVD player broke. We were told that it would be replace the following morning. We had already rented two movies. The new DVD player never showed up. Instead, we received a note indicating that they would reimburse us if we wanted to rent a DVD player. We had been out all day and the rental store was already closed.
The «customer service»… The manager was somewhat helpful, but he didn’t make up for the woman normally behind the desk. She actually blamed us for having too high expectations!
I would highly recommend steering clear of the McBee cottages. Unless, of course, you have low expectations.

Disappointing.
Stayed here with my father over spring break. We were really excited to stay here because it was a cute little 1-​br cabin with a full bedroom and a pull-​out bed, fireplace, mini-​kitchen, and full bath. Seemed nice enough.
You check in down the road at their head office, the Cannon Beach Hotel. Our rate was over $ 120 per night. Caretakers were plenty nice. Got to our little room. Sadly, the one we requested was right on the road. My mistake when booking reservations. So we got to listen to traffic, and gawk back at the people rudely staring into our windows as they walked by.
Bathroom — quite nice. my favorite part of the hotel.
Kitchen — worked out just fine. Mini-​stove and oven. ¾ths sized fridge. Just enough dishes to go around.
Dining room — nothing exciting. Table wobbly.
Living room — Couch was stained to disgusting-​high-​heaven. I couldn’t stand to look at it. I know pets are allowed here, so my imagination ran wild with what could possibly be the giantic, disgusting blob right where my head would rest. Seriously… water stains, what looked like smashed-​in cheeto’s (fingernail polish maybe?)… it was nasty. Kept it covered with a sheet or blanket the entire week. Didn’t want to look at it, let alone touch it. Next. the fireplace. Much to mine and my father’s surprise, this was officially the first fireplace we had ever seen in our combined years that produced ZERO HEAT. Apparently, the McBee cottages have mastered the art of the cold fire. Completely worthless for warming next to, or drying ocean-​soaked clothing. Mostly just turned it on for ambiance. Second note about the fireplace — I don’t know if there was a gas leak or what, (and you might think i’m crazy for saying it.) but there was this incredible high-​pitched squeal that came out of it… constantly. Even with the flames off. My 50+ year old father, bless his heart, could not hear it… which made me think maybe I was going crazy, but I’ve concluded he’s just old. It came and went, changed its pitch, and generally drove me INSANE. It hurt to listen to that for 5 days. Okay, on to the fold-​out bed: A joke. I’ve been on many-​a fold-​out beds, and this was by far the worst. Anyone who’s been in a sinking, paper-​thin mattress probably knows what i’m talking about. no further explination needed. TV worked fine.
Bedroom — After complaining to the father about my sleepless night on the pull-​out bed (thanks to squealing fireplace, traffic, and worthless excuse for a bed), I switched to the bedroom. Very cute. VERY uncomfortable. Basically it was one big rock with a sheet on top of it, joined by 2 little rocks that were supposed to be pillows. I was up every single night for at least 2 hours trying to get comfortable, all the while clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath «just wait until i get home and log into Unilocal… you’ll get it, McBee room 28!!» Suffice to say, I did not sleep well this trip.
Needless to say, I am saddened by this little place. I really wanted to like it. They’ve done a mostly good job making it look nice. But with all the issues I had… not worth the price tag.
