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.

Third Year in a Row

This is the 3rd time I've rented this great house to host a number for friends from different parts of the country, all of whom love Cannon Beach. This time there were 7 of us and the house easily accommodated us. The kitchen is very well equipped; there are even good knives, everyone found the beds to be comfortable, there was plenty of hot water. The view from the deck makes cocktail time even more enjoyable. The location can't be beat. I hope to be able to make a return visit next Spring.

return trip to Dorothy Lou Home for a 3-generation family vacation

We had another very enjoyable week at the coast thanks in large part to this ideal home setting. The home and kitchen are very well-equipped and the location is ideal - a short walk to the beach; far enough from town to escape some of the busyness, but close enough to make it there and back on a nice beach walk. Sand toys our 2 and 5-year-old grandchildren, a pack-n-play for the 8 mo. old to sleep in; a wagon for transporting toys, wood, s'more and hot dog fixings to the beach. A nice spacious 2nd floor open living room/kitchen for all, and 2 nice outdoor decks, with the back deck looking out onto a green space. Ample and nicely furnished bedrooms to accommodate a large extended family. We hope to return in the future.

Wonderful coast getaway

Our family (my husband and I, our 7 year old son, and his grandparents) all loved staying at the Dorothy Lou. The home itself is very clean and well appointed, plenty of towels and linens. Having access to the beach, amazing coffee shop, and grocery store all within walking distance made our stay a breeze. Some of our favorite memories we will take from the trip are our morning walks to the tide pools by Haystack Rock and playing board games around the table in the evenings. We would love to stay again!

A 2nd great stay at the Dorothy Lou House

I booked in for a 9 night stay this year and had a number of friends come and go over that time. Everyone enjoyed their stay. The house is very well equipped, the beds are comfortable, there is an ocean view from the living room and deck and from one of the bedrooms upstairs, the location is terrific and Karl, the owner, is very responsive and quickly answers any questions. I hope that we can come again next year.

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.

Spacious home with appealing setting

This was a very comfortable setting for my two grown daughters and myself for a couple of days while we explored Cannon Beach. We were very pleased to be a little removed from the busier part of Cannon Beach and enjoyed walking down to the nearby pub for beers and dinner and to the two stores to get any missing items. The kitchen seemed well stocked, although we did no cooking. The beds were all comfortable and had plenty of extra blankets available if needed. It is worth noting that there are two steep flights of stairs in this house and one flight is unavoidable if one is to make use of the kitchen and communal area of the home.

Perfect vacation getaway

Wow! Had the time of our lives. Plenty of room to sleep our family of 5 adults and 4 children with one under 2. Had pack and play for baby to sleep in, and high chair too. Close walk to the beach. Only problem we had was it had a lot stairs, which we already knew, but the grandson broke his ankle the first day and that was a challenge. We still had a great time and I would recommend this place as a great place to stay. Thank you to the Hadley family for opening their home up to us.

Prefect Family Retreat to Relax and Refresh

The Dorothy Lou Family Home was very comfortable, well-kept and convenient, and felt like relaxing at your personal ocean getaway. The well designed kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, cooking utensils, spices, coffee filters, pantry essentials, etc. The location is convenient to most of the local attractions, including a three-block walk to the closest beach access. The ground floor bedroom suite with TV sitting area and walk-in shower was an added bonus because it made the house more accessible. We slept well in the comfortable beds. There was an abundance of hot water and large, plush towels, especially ideal for the deep soaking tub. In a quiet neighborhood with views of the ocean and Haystack, the Dorothy Lou Home was perfect for our family retreat. We look forward to coming back!

Wonderful house in Tolovana Park

This house was Exactly as advertised and was perfect for my various groups of friends who came over an 11 day period. The location is great; a short walk to the beach, a short walk to the grocery store, a short walk to the pub. The house is very well equipped with lots of cookware, glassware, small appliances, spices, coffee filters, laundry soup - really everything. There are even good knives, which in many places is not the case. The beds were very comfortable and there was always plenty of hot water. There are 3 televisions which we never watched as we were lucky with the weather and spent a lot of time outside. There are games and puzzles as well. Parking is easy. There is a nice ocean view from the deck and the living room and one of the upstairs bedrooms. I had a couple of questions and Karl responded instantly. I would recommend the Dorothy Lou house without hesitation and hope to visit again in the next year or two. It's a great spot from which to enjoy Cannon Beach and the surrounding area.

Perfect family getaway to the beach!

This home perfectly accommodated our family, including 3 kids under age 7 and grandparents. It was cozy, yet spacious. It was bright and clean. Everyone had a comfortable and quiet place to sleep. Loved having the garage to unload and keep all of our sand filled shoes and toys. The host was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and thoughtful. It was a very quick walk to the beach. Also loved this southern side of cannon- beautiful and more quiet than downtown. The home was even better than we expected and we really hope to be back.
