About this property
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.

Reviewer Comments:
The view is as good as advertised! Inside the house was clean, cozy, and had a kitchen with all the needed utensils and supplies. My family loved the ease of access to the beach, the cozy dining room and living room, and again... The view!
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!
Sensational View and Easy Beach Access. The house itself is a bit small and dated (some would say "classic") but well equipped and comfortable.

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.
Location is unbeatable. Gorgeous ocean views including Haystack. Home was comfotable and clean with an updated kitchen. A quick drive to downtown Cannon Beach.

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!

LANDMARK HISTORIC BEACH COTTAGE

Reviewer Comments:
We like old craftsmanship, particularly the Arts and Crafts period of home building. This historic cottage predates that wonderful style but includes many of its best elements. It has cozy warmth, a relaxing peaceful location, great woodwork and is quiet and private. The deck is a great place to watch the sunset! You feel like you're on the beach and Haystack is always in view. The furnishings are comfortable and the views out all the perfectly placed windows are spectacular. You feel like you traveled back to an earlier time of cottage life in Cannon Beach. Artistic touches in the decor include grasscloth wallpaper, lovely prints by Paul A. Lanquist and a particularly nice print of a girl by the seashore above the king bed. Very charming. We will return to this premiere cottage and recommend it highly!
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!
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.

Reviewer Comments:
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.

This house is incredible. The view was stunning and the location perfect. You can walk into town so easily without having to park and having the beach at your doorstep was awesome. The outdoor deck was our favorite place to hang out and we saw elk and bunnies hanging out in the yard! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen is compact, but so well stocked that it was very easy to cook nice meals at home. I highly recommend this property and can’t wait to come back next year!
