Neilson's at Cannon Beach-Oceanfront Getaway-Stunning Sunset View-Fireplace
**Not a pet-friendly property.**
Neilson's at Cannon Beach is one of the original beach cabins, owned by the Neilson family for over fifty years. Located in front of Haystack Rock, the view doesn't get any better! Follow twenty stair steps down to reach the front door of this classic beach house.
Oversized windows in the living room and dining room capture a breath-taking ocean view. The large, brick fireplace warms the living room on a cool evening, the wood provided by the owners. Recently refinished old growth Douglas fir floors provide comfortable footing and that traditional charming cabin feel.
While the living and dining areas maintain the coziness of days gone by, the brand new kitchen remodel is top-notch. Beautiful new stainless steel refrigerator and gas range with sea-blue tile backsplash throughout, makes cooking with a view a whole new experience. Off the kitchen the laundry room includes a new washer and dryer, and an additional second refrigerator.
The King master bedroom has an adjoining private bathroom. The second Queen bedroom and the third bedroom with two Twins, have access to the main bathroom. Recently remodeled, both baths feature custom tile showers. Following a dip in the ocean, kids will love a warm soak in the traditional clawfoot tub. The enclosed shower is separate from the tub.
The deck off the kitchen is perfect for watching sunsets and barbecuing the catch of the day. Sand toys and deck chairs are available in the northeast corner of the shed, located on the south pathway. The south pathway also may be used in lieu of the stairs to the house.
Please note at this time there is no direct beach access. The pathway to the beach, belongs to the neighboring house. A public beach access path, is located just to the north of the house.
Accommodates 6 maximum; no pets; no smoking; parking for 2 vehicles.
3 night minimum stay, except during the summer months. 7 night minimum stay for the summer months.
Deck Furniture and BBQ's are available from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Great location facing Haystack Rocks, walkable around Cannon Beach. Easy check-in with pin code—plenty of firewood. The main bedroom is colder. No shampoo, conditioner, or body wash provided—well-equipped kitchen. The balcony lacks a table/chairs. Washer/dryer great; bring drying sheet. The house shows its age with peeling paint and spots, but it's good for a short stay.
Location is unbeatable. Gorgeous ocean views including Haystack. Home was comfotable and clean with an updated kitchen. A quick drive to downtown Cannon Beach.
Walking distance to Cannon Beach Downtown. Tide pools at Haystack Rock at low tide great. Accommodates any type of grouo or just a couple

We had a very relaxing trip. The view from this property is unmatched. The house has everything you need.
We stay up and down the North Oregon coast, looking for privacy and great views. This house in Cannon Beach overlooks Haystack rock with quick access to the beach the public stairs, half block up the way. The house was wonderfully appointed with a well stock, kitchen, nicely maintained bathrooms with abundant new towels, readily available Wi-Fi and cable television if you’re interested. Sitting in the center of Cannon Beach everything was readily accessible by walking. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Nielson's was the perfect setting for our group to spend spring break. The home is cozy and perfect for a small group. Ocean views are amazing and it's an easy hop down to the beach. Our two grandsons loved the bunnies in the garden, watching the storms from the living room window, walking down to the tide pools and playing games in front of the fire. All around lovely experience.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Neilson”s. A perfectly cozy beach house with comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Gorgeous beach views perfect for wave watching. Beach access two houses to the North with plenty of stairs, but well worth it. We will be back!

We (four adults, one young child) stayed at the Neilson house for a week in March-April. The property was ideal for us because the living area is all on one floor, so no-one felt cut off. There is a staircase from the street to the front door; it's safe and sturdy. Access to the beach is by metal stairs two houses away, and are easy to navigate. The living room is large and well-furnished, and there is a cupboard full of games and also a bookcase. The views from the back of the house are unbeatable.

We enjoyed our stay here! The homes location is perfect for watching eagles, elk and viewing the rock. The walk to town is farther than others we have stayed at but you can't beat the view from the deck and living room!
This house was wonderful for five friends! Spacious, lots of comfortable seating, a fully stocked kitchen, and gorgeous views. We only wished there would have been some cozy throws to snuggle under. We are already hoping to book it again next year!
Unbeatable views and sounds from the house. A few of the mornings we had elk right at the house! we all loved it.

We loved the place. The overall ambience was enjoyable as was the view. It is a great mix of beach cabin and updates to the bathrooms and the kitchen. It was great to have a fireplace and we made use of it every evening. Thank you.
Neilson's at Cannon Beach is an amazing home. It's a very comfortable home, a modern kitchen surrounded by the most amazing ocean views! Perfect in every way! Thank you for sharing your home. We three siblings and my husband had an amazing family visit while enjoying unseasonably warm weather! We hope to be back!The Adams/Meyer group.

Reviewer Comments:
This house has a fantastic view and a spacious living area. The kitchen was very well stocked and all the utensils looked clean and in good condition, although we did not cook a meal there during our 3-night stay. Wifi worked well. Communication by phone and VRBO message with the management company was very good, and the keypad at the door worked well. The house layout was fine for two couples, but the access to the second and third bedrooms was a little awkward. We had a great stay, and even got to see the ocean in stormy weather!
We loved our stay at this quaint home. We splurged to have the views and it was absolutely worth it! We had a private path to the beach and our teenagers could run down when they wanted. We could still enjoy the views at the end of the day from the porch and living room windows. We didn't have to go somewhere else and haul all the stuff to enjoy beach time. It was so worth it!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
If you are looking for stunning ocean views and great location, this is a gem of a rental. Honestly could have watched the waves for days from the living room windows and you couldn’t get a better view of haystack rock. We really liked that there were no houses in front of us. Beach access was very close - just two houses down.If you are looking for top of the line amenities, honestly, the cottage is dated and some items could use a refresh (e.g. hair dryers). Beds and pillows were comfortable on the up side of things and the kitchen was decently stocked.There is one designated parking spot for the cottage and a number of steps down to the front door (pictures / description are accurate).Overall, we enjoyed the stay as the ocean view was what we valued most!
