About this property
The Dorothy Lou Family Home; short walk to beach, ocean view
This attractive three level home is good for families or couples wanting some privacy. Ground floor King bed as well as a fold out couch allow for 4 to sleep in one room. This room has a large flat screen TV and gas fireplace creating a cozy atmosphere. There is a bathroom with tile shower on this floor. A modern kitchen and open living area on the 2nd floor capture views of the ocean and access to a west-facing and south deck with BBQ. This floor also has a small TV room that serves as a bedroom with foldout couch, and a bathroom with 2 sinks and a bathtub, and adjoining large capacity laundry room. The master bedroom on the 3rd floor faces west to see Haystack. The other 3rd floor bedroom has 2 queen beds, antique furniture, a reading nook, also with Haystack view, . The top floor bathroom has an attractive tile shower, & skylight. Your "must have wi-fi" members will enjoy high speed connection with good reception in all locations of the home. Flat screen TV and a nice sound system on the 2nd floor offering iPod or iPhone connection to play Pandora selections, if desired. TV in master bedroom and ground floor as well. This was a family home for 30 yrs, chosen by my mother, Dorothy. Though she's gone now, the many years we enjoyed visiting this home have great memories. We hope that by sharing this unique home and nice location with others, you might develop similar fond memories of Cannon Beach and the time spent in this home.

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!
It was a great house for the 5 of us friends, the kitchen had everything we needed. Great view of the sunset and short walk to the beachThe beds were comfortableThe host was quick to respond to questions and sent detailed instructions and suggestions where to explore and eat. We would stay here again!
This was a great property and experience and it enhanced our visit to Cannon Beach. The location is perfect for access to the beach, hikes, biking, shopping, etc. We would definitely stay here again when we visit Cannon Beach.
Everything was great, our stay at the Dorothy Lou has become a yearly tradition. The house fits our family perfectly and it’s an easy walk to the beach. The decks are great to sit and relax.
My family had never visited Cannon Beach and we were blown away by the beauty of this place. The Dorothy Lou Beach home was perfect regarding location, convenience and outdoor/indoor spaces.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Great property just a few blocks off the beach. Very clean and all in good repair. We especially liked the fact that the kitchen was well appointed so we were able to cook effectively (many VRBOs we are in have spartan supplies/utensils). Highly recommend. Quick note - if you have trouble with stairs this could be an issue — there is one primary bedroom downstairs with en suite but all other living area is upstairs. Did not impact our stay, but just fyi.We will definitely rebook here if we are back in town.
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.
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.
