Upscale Oregon Coast Hotel Gets Another Makeover
 |
| Artist's rendering of remodel |
(Cannon Beach, Oregon) - Exciting things are happening at the Surfsand Resort in Cannon Beach, with another phase in its enormous renovation beginning. Construction is underway on the Surfsand’s second phase, which will add to the upscale Oregon coast resort and major tourist attraction another 56 luxurious rooms.
The renovation is expected to take 18 months.
Phase I saw the remodel of the nearly 30-year-old property earlier this year, which included 50 first-class guest rooms in the beachfront building and a refurbished lobby that showcases a beautiful art collection featuring the work of local artist David Marshall.
A
remodeled east wing will consist of 24 units, including a large meeting
space flanked by two king-sized suites. The ocean view east wing can accommodate
many types of groups and events, from corporate gatherings, to business
functions to wedding parties.

“The ocean view wing will offer the very ultimate for small corporate groups and large family reunions,” said Ryan Snyder, president of Martin Hospitality. “You can sleep up to 16 people. It doesn’t have to be arranged this way, but can you imagine the fun?”
A brand new weekend retreat building will be added to what is currently an empty parking lot. This unit will consist of six two-bedroom suites, each with an additional studio attached, also perfect for family reunions or “girl’s weekend” getaways.
The
new oceanfront building will have 17 oceanfront rooms; some with private
patios or decks, and all of the new buildings will utilize the same soft,
cool color palate found in the oceanfront building and lobby. Interior
designer Georgia Pope, of Hill Devine Design, has managed to weave together
pale greens and blues - the colors of the ocean -with grounding earth
tones such as brown and a coppery burnt sienna, all for a comfortable
and relaxing room experience. Each of the new rooms will incorporate the
same lavish details already found in the oceanfront rooms: hardwood floors,
granite countertops, large spa bathtubs, maple-encased fireplaces and
flat screen TVs. But the new rooms will include a wet bar complete with
sink, microwave and refrigerator for easy entertaining or snacks.
Mike
Skidmore, designer and architect for both Phase I and Phase II, felt it
was important to make sure that the entire project was cohesive, with
results that created one seamless, inviting destination. “Phase
I was primarily a remodel of the existing property, while Phase II is
new construction,” said Skidmore. “But both had to reflect
the Northwest beach character that is so unique to this project, making
the Surfsand one of the finest resorts in the Northwest.”
Lincoln City Vacation Homes There’s something for everyone among this selection of wondrous homes: smaller homes with a view to a large house that sleeps 15. All the homes are either oceanfront or just a few steps away from the sand – all with a low bank access and fantastic views. Most are in the Nelscott area; one is close to the casino. You’ll find a variety of goodies, depending on the home: fireplaces, multiple bedrooms, dishwashers, Jacuzzis, washer/dryers, hot tubs, cable TV, VCR, barbecues; there’s a loft in one, and another sprawling home has two apartments. Pets are allowed in some homes – ask ahead. Each comes with complete kitchens so you’ll have a home away from home. Most have the seventh night free. Prices range from winter $85 to summer $230 per night. www.getaway2thecoast.com. 541-994-8778. |

Tradewinds Motel, Rockaway Beach If expansive ocean views, close proximity to golfing, fishing tours and quick access to seven miles of pristine beaches is your thing, then this quintessential beauty in Rockaway Beach is your ticket to vacation fun for families, couples or large groups. Some rooms are pet friendly. All rooms at the Tradewinds Motel are immaculate and have TV’s, VCR’s and in-room phones with data ports. The oceanfronts all have a queen bed, a double hide-a-bed, kitchen, cozy firelog fireplace and a private deck. Some oceanfront units come with all those amenities but the kitchens. Both types sleep up to four people. The non-oceanfront rooms are appointed with a queen bed, small fridge, and coffee maker – sizable for a two-person romantic getaway, yet still perfect for those on a budget. There is an elaborate oceanfront Jacuzzi suite that has two bedrooms, coming with a kitchen, double hide-a-bed, fireplace and private deck, sleeping as many as six. For those wanting bigger accommodations for family reunions or large gatherings such as weddings, some rooms can connect to create two-room and three-room suites. 523 N. Pacific St., Rockaway Beach.
