This treasure is unmatched for a traditional retreat to the beach. A mile south of downtown Cannon Beach and less than a city block’s walk to the sand, you can enjoy easy access to whatever your heart desires.
The Horner Beach House was built in 1928 to take advantage of the best view of Haystack Rock and the Needles. One of the original homes on the hill, the view includes an expansive panorama of the ocean as well as easy access to the beach. The house has just undergone an extensive remodel, preserving the beach cottage ambiance while ensuring that modern amenities make your experience comfortable.
There are several nesting pairs of bald eagles living in the hills behind the beach house. They fly directly overhead on their way to hunt on Haystack Rock. A fantastic spectacle! Haystack Rock is the best place on the coast to see Tufted Puffins from April to August. The Rock also hosts breeding Western Gull, Pelagic Cormorant, Pigeon Guillemot and Black Oystercatcher, Halequin Duck, Brown Pelican, and Peregrine Falcon seen in summer and Greater Scaup and Surf Scoter in Winter.

Great little house, perfect location! Seconds away from the beach. Beautiful views! The house is stocked with everything you would need. Charming place, would definitely recommend!
We visited Cannon Beach to celebrate my son’s high school graduation. Although we’ve been there several times before, this trip was special because a friend and his girlfriend joined us. I chose this house because it seemed like the best fit for our group, and it exceeded expectations. It was beautiful, spotless, and full of charm. The home had everything we needed, including a full kitchen, laundry, and plenty of sleeping space. The beds were very comfortable, and we slept soundly each night to the sound of the waves. The view was wonderful, and the beach was only a short three-minute walk away. We had an amazing time and would happily rent this home again. We highly recommend this charming, welcoming home to anyone seeking a spectacular view of Haystack Rock.Thank you !!!
This was our second time staying here and we absolutely loved it! The location and view can’t be beat, and the house had everything we needed. Thanks so much!
House is very clean! We really appreciated the minimal use of fragrance throughout, made our stay much more enjoyable - that’s hard to come by when staying in vrbo. House has everything you need and can’t beat the view! Easy to navigate and get to/from town!
We had the most magical stay at Peggy’s property—it truly felt like stepping into a hidden retreat. The photos don’t even begin to capture how breathtaking the home is in person. Every detail is thoughtfully curated: it’s impeccably clean, beautifully spacious, and filled with everything you could possibly need.We arrived late at night and slipped straight into bed, but waking up was unforgettable—the Haystack in all its quiet majesty stood just beyond the window, like something out of a dream. Absolutely stunning.The beach is just a short, effortless walk away, with the home perfectly situated along a direct path, making every moment feel easy and serene. It was the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. I pray we make it back one day. If we do, we'll definitely stay here again.
The location of the property is incredible and it was extremely clean and extremely well appointed with everything we needed. Great books, puzzles, games and comfortable beds. We loved our visit to Cannon Beach!
We loved every moment of staying at this house! 10/10!! Very close to the beach, incredible views, and super clean. Also very cozy! Will definitely stay again!
This is such a great property! Have stayed here a couple of times before and everything you need is there. The weather was perfect and we all had a wonderful time. I would recommend this rental to everyone!
Just a quick walk down to the beach! House had everything we needed and more, beach chairs, binoculars, even long sticks to roast hot dogs over our beachside campfire. Lovely!
This house was very close to haystack rock, which has the best tidal pools. There are lots of birds nesting there as well. It was very quiet and restful there.
Perfect getaway! Lovely remodeled house with all the amenities. Perfect view of Haystack Rock right out in front. You’re up on the hill so it’s 56 (I counted) steps down to the sand….a great workout coming back up. We were blessed with great weather so we had a fire on the beach one night. We ate at the Driftwood twice. Great food.
Having Haystack Rock right outside our living room window and front porch was simply amazing! We’ve never stayed in a cooler place! Everything in the house was just as good as the view, clean and comfortable. We would encourage visitors to go to the beach not just during the day or at sunset, but also at night. If it’s not cloudy, you can see a million stars! We hope to visit here again one day!
Beautiful view of Haystack rock and great access to the beach. Cottage was very comfortable, clean, and well appointed.Very short drive to shops and restaurants. We loved Castaways and Anna’s Table for dinner. Being able to walk down to Haystack Rock for sunset after dinner was fantastic!
We trip was to celebrate our daughter's 16th bday. She

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Amato
When we were kids we used to go to Cannon Beach because our neighbors had a house there. Relatives from North Dakota were treated with trips to the beach whenever they visited. After the death of our father, our mom bought this house in 1974 looking forward to spending her retirement at the beach she so loved. It was a favorite spot for family and friends alike.
Mom wanted to share this beautiful spot with friends and began renting. We are happy to continue making the house available for others to enjoy.
