If you are looking for a wonderful retreat, I would highly recommend Shaw's Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast at Arch Cape. I was looking for an oceanfront place for a surprise trip for my husband's 50th birthday when I ran across their website. It looked great on the website and was even better in real life. We were greeted on our arrival with homemade cookies and a Happy Birthday sign. My husband spent hours in front of the large picture window watching the waves crash against Castle Rock. I curled up with a book by the fireplace enjoying the freedom to do nothing. There was a complete kitchen though we didn't take advantage of it. Our hosts, Jim and Barbara Shaw, felt like old friends rather than new acquaintances. They cooked us wonderful breakfasts every morning and ate with us telling us things we could do and see in the area. We dropped off our car at the end of a long hike and they kindly drove us to the starting point. Both my husband and I were sad to leave.
