The style of this mid-range establishment is comfortable and quaint. Being located right in the heart of downtown Cannon Beach, you’ll have more time to spend on the various food and shopping experiences available around you!
There are also plenty of options for warmth and entertainment as every room has a gas fireplace and flat-screen TVs with DVD players.
One thing we love about the site is that it’s a small, family-run business that started operating in 1965. The current iteration of the Sea Breeze Court was opened in 2004, and has stayed strong since!
