We (2 couples, one toddler) loved our week at the Dorothy Lou House! We had plenty of space, and everything in the house functioned well. I especially appreciated knowing that if we had questions I could email the owner.A few bonuses about the location (which was amazing): the beach was an easy 2 block walk away, through safe and pleasant neighborhoods; there is a lovely grocery store just a few blocks south; across the street from the grocery store is a small playground for kids; and Sea Level Coffee- a small but delicious coffee shop- is only a block south. If we have the opportunity to return to Cannon Beach with family, we will definitely check this place out again!

This is the 3rd year I've rented the house for myself and a number of friends from various parts of the country. It's a great house for a group of friends or a family get together. All of my guests have enjoyed their stays - the location is great, there are ocean views from the deck, living room and primary bedroom, beach access is easy. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are comfortable. There is an excellent grocery store within walking distance and there is a good pub and Mo's Seafood are both within walking distance. The owner, Karl, is always helpful. I hope to book again for several days next spring.

Nice location away from busy downtown but close to a very beautiful area of beach. My family enjoyed our stay, loved having fires on the beach. The house was equipped with all necessities including plenty of towels, soap, tp, etc. We were all very comfortable staying here and would return if ever in the area again.

This is a beautiful home to spend your vacation or a weekend away. It is just one block from a super cute coffee shop and barely a block from the beach. We had a fantastic time. You can easily walk to Haystack rock. It’s a quiet and lovely location with everything you could possibly need. Most important to me is that the bed was incredibly comfortable and warm highly recommend.

Great house for a group of seven. The bedrooms were a great size and perfect to have 3 bathrooms!!! Wonderful location to walk to the beach and the park area by Mo's so the grandsons could play. We had elk all around the house on the first day, so fun to watch. I like the Tolovana area, not so crowded on the beach and quiet. Three days of sunny weather and calm wind.

This house is perfect. Plenty of space for everyone to move around. The decks are great for catching some afternoon sun and the kitchen has everything you need. The owner is prompt with check in details and very reachable if needed. This was our 3rd stay and already have the house booked for next summer. Beach is also a very short and easy walk.
