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.

A 2nd great stay at the Dorothy Lou House
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.

About the host

Hosted by Karl Hadley

Host profile image
Hi, we are Karl & Kelly, co-owners of The Dorothy Lou. We are native Washingtonians & we enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, boating, good music and good food often shared with family or friends. We're experienced property managers, having operated a Hood River VRBO vacation home for 20 years. We bring those skills and customer service to this home in Cannon Beach, OR.

Why they chose this property

Cannon Beach is a long time favorite destination of ours, and Karl's mother, Dorothy, purchased this home in 1980 when her mother died. On Dorothy's passing in 2013, we just couldn't sell the home, so we decided to buy it, and did an extensive remodel in 2016. To honor my mother's memory and her affection for Cannon Beach, we've named the home after her.

What makes this property unique

It is just a short 2 minute walk to the beach, and situated away from the more crowded area of Cannon Beach proper. Haystack is in sight & just a 10 minute stroll away. You'll also enjoy quick access to Highway 101 if you want to explore towns to the south, like Manzanita, Nehalem, Rockaway & Tillamook, or beaches like Hug Point, or Oswald State Park. To the North is Seaside, Gearhart and Astoria, with great history of the Lewis and Clark Trail, Maritime museums, great golf courses, restaurants and breweries.
