About this property

Amazing View - Haystack Rock and the Needles

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.

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!

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!

Best View of Cannon Beach

The location was perfect for enjoying the beach. The Eagles were a special treat daily that flew and perched on the top of Haystack Rock. The tide pools at the base of Haystack were abundant with starfish and urchins. It was fun to explore and being so close to the beach made it perfect.
