Calipso Cottage

Love cannon beach, can't go wrong. House is comfortable ND in a quiet part of town, very peaceful.

Cannon beach is beautiful.

Perfect location on a quiet street, close to the beach but nice and calm. The house is well stocked with everything you would need to cook with. Beds are comfy. Decor makes for a relaxing ambiance.

Quaint and cozy beach cottage!

Nice accommodations, very quaint and cozy.

We have been coming to Cannon Beach for many years, we love it!!!

This property was wonderful, we have zero complaints! It was perfect for my husband and I, and our Samoyed loved it too!

Everything about the stay was lovely. Thank you so much.

The beds are so comfortable and beach is a very short walk away. It was such a nice place to stay.

The well supplied home, the ambiance, the friends, the comfortable beds, the living area. Perfect. Oh, except the lid to the coffee pot was a challenge to get it secure.

This cottage is everything you want to experience in a beach house. Three lifelong friends (62 & 41 years of friendship) were lucky to find this charming cottage. It is a short walk to the north side of the creek where we saw a large gathering of black pelicans. Heavy rain kept us inside for a day but it was well spent in the warm and cozy living area. We had light rain the next day, walked into town for some shopping and lunch and settled in for another evening of talking. The cottage provided great ambiance for relaxing, laughing and fun. None of us wanted to leave so we agreed to go again in the fall. We highly recommend Calipso Cottage.

The beach, Ecola creek, the local wildlife and the town were all wonderful, as usual.

Very comfortable home way better than hotel room

Lisa A - Posted: 8/23/2021

The property is advertised as a 3 bedroom and could accommodate 6 people, but this is overstated in my opinion! The "Loft" is accessed via a spiral staircase and is open to below (not really a bedroom) but it has a queen bed in the room. The second bedroom downstairs is a bunk bed in a very tiny room with very little floor space and it is the only portion of the home's interior that provides access to the back yard. The WiFi at this property was horrible with only 1.5 mps, barely enough speed to open up a pdf document and streaming from a computer is very poor. In my opinion, a rental home should have high speed internet WiFi and it is available in this neighborhood with Spectrum! On a positive note, the house is situated in a great North Canon Beach location on a quiet residential street and the property has a nice front deck. The living room is very comfortable for 5 people and the kitchen was very nice and well equipped.

This cabin is in the funky, cluttered side. Too many family pics and mementos on the walls. Felt like we had stepped back into the 80’s

The cottage was perfect but the bedroom downstairs mattress was very uncomfortable, you sink in the bed. The rest of the rooms perfect.

The only negative I have is that the furnace is very loud.

The queen bed has a large foam on the top which causes you to sink when sleeping. Also, ask if there’s construction going on nearby.

House sleeps 6 nicely. It’s small and cozy. The fire place is a nice feature. Only downside is it was not very clean. Dust and grime over many surfaces and dirty dishes in the cupboards. You are charged a cleaning fee but it doesn't look like that money was well used on this property. I have stayed at other properties of theirs that didn’t have this problem so maybe this is an anomaly

Calipso cottage is in a quiet locale and pleasant neighborhood. Located at the north end of Cannon Beach, it is ideal if you want less crowds. Beautiful scenery too. The cottage has a homey feel and a great yard for a dog. The beds are a little too soft, but I would definitely recommend!

One recommendation... have a fan for the loft for the warmer days.

The house was clean and had a well-stocked kitchen. Check-in/out was easy. The pillows were not the best but we made do, next time I'd bring my own. A nice easy walk to downtown/beach, located in a quiet neighborhood.

We had a great time in Cannon Beach at the Calipso Cottage. It is cute and has everything you could need. Loved the fenced in back yard for the dog, and my nephew enjoyed the loft area. We love the north part of Cannon Beach, quick walk to the beach and shops. Only negative I would say is the heat is LOUD when it comes on.

We had a great experience at this very well equipped, clean and comfortable house. Fully stocked kitchen with good quality pots and pans, comfortable furniture and beds. Loved the loft bedroom. Fenced back yard for our dog, close to beach (2 blocks), steep hill but steps alongside road. Very quiet on the beach and gorgeous on the north end of Cannon Beach. Our group included a senior adult, 2 young adults and a 2 year old. The Cannon Beach Property Management team were excellent, as they always are.

great little house. it had a lot of charm and personal décor made us feel right at home. great selection of books, games, cds, and movies. beach was up a short steep hill but still great access. only disappointment was with the dish service. main tv only received a few obsure channels so no local channels for news or some basic shows. Small bedroom tvs had good selection of local/movie channels so not sure why main tv could not access the same channels. It might be a little tight for 6 but was perfect for four. It was clean, nicely maintained, well equipped kitchen, and theater poster/ocean décor was great! Property management company was very friendly and professional. thank you!

Connie - thank you for your candid review; we certainly appreciate your feedback. Regarding the living-room T.V. - we discovered the settings were changed to only view certain channels, this has been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience during your stay. We look forward to seeing you again, Linda.

The house is on a quiet street on the north side of Cannon Beach across Ecola Creek, a short drive to the shops and restaurants and the main beach. Two cars could park at the house. Nice front porch/deck. Circular ladder access to bedroom loft. The mattresses in loft and main floor bedroom were too soft. We did light cooking, good fridge, stove and utensils. Good variety of music CD's and movie DVDs

We are two middle aged adults who brought along our grandson for a two day weekend getaway. Our experience was very nice. We appreciated the "right at home" feel to the property. The inventory of books, CDs, and other media were a plus. We enjoyed our stay very much and will book a property again this year.

We had a great time at Calipso Cottage. It was well maintained and clean. Close to the beach, Ecola Creek, and the town allowed us to walk anywhere we needed to go. Great space for our dogs as well. The only issue we had was that the some of the windows did not have screens which meant at night when it was warmer we could not open our windows. Other than that our stay was great and it was definitely a place we would stay at again.

Calipso cottage was a wonderful get away for our family that met all our needs. Very cozy feel to it and even a fenced back yard for the dog to be able to have privacy when using the restroom :). Loved the upstairs loft for my husband and I and kids loved having their own rooms. Definitely will stay there again sometime!

Calipso Cottage is a warm and cozy place to stay with every amenity a person needs. Unlike hotels or cabins, the cottage felt like home and definitely reflects the personality of the owners. I wanted to take the loft home with me. What a great place to sleep!

Step by step instructions for using the DVD player and sound system would have been useful for those of us who are technologically challenged but all in all Calipso Cottage is a comfortable, quiet, feel good kind of place that doesn't disappoint.

We had a really nice 5 day stay at Calipso with our two small children and dog. There were so many board games, puzzles and movies, so there was always plenty to do! Just a few blocks from the beach. Very clean and cozy cottage.

Anonymous from Kirkland - Posted: 4/12/2013

We stayed here with my parents for a weekend and really enjoyed the house. It was quiet, cozy, and close to the beach. The only issue we had was that the fireplace had malfunctioned for the previous guest and the whole place reeked like a campfire. We left the windows and doors open almost constantly trying to air the place out, and we didn't attempt our own fire. If the fireplace is important to you and you're staying here soon, make sure to ask if that issue has been resolved.

While his was a very nice quaint house, it was not the right fit for our family. We have two young children, 7 months and 4 years, and they, as well as us, we're having a hard time avoiding the giant spiral staircase that descends from the loft. The house is not very big so the staircase takes up quite a bit of living space. Aside from that, it was a cozy little cottage that is well maintained and not very far from the beach our town. I just wouldn't recommend it for families with very young children.

Anonymous from Mill Creek - Posted: 7/3/2012

This is a great, creatively decorated cottage in a quiet residential neighborhood. The ocean is about a 5-minute walk, though the Haystack Rock stretch of the beach is a little farther. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, the beds were comfy, and the house had a lot of special features - such as the spiral stairs leading to the wonderful loft. Loved the big front porch, too, and the big tree growing out of the porch. I couldn't find a washer/dryer, but since we were there for just 3 nights, no big deal. The free WiFi worked great.

The only complaints I would have is it would have been nice to have a garbage disposal. We cooked most of our meals there with our family and by not having a disposal was inconvienent.

Also, an outside shower would have been nice. We did find a hose with a shower sprayer on it to help a few days into our trip but having an outside shower to clean off the sand from the beach would have been ideal to keep sand out of the house.

Overall it was nice.

Anonymous from South Jordan - Posted: 8/23/2010

We had a wonderful time and so did our dogs! The cozy home with all its amenities was perfect for us. The only thing I would change is a bit firmer bed in the downstairs bedroom. Staying in the quieter north end of town was especially appreciated this visit, as the warm weather brought many visitors mid-town. We would stay at the Calipso again!

The cottage was a perfect size for our family of 2 adults and 2 boys (11 and 15). In fact, we could have let the boys each bring a friend and still not felt too crowded. It was our first time staying on the north side of town--very quiet. Kitchen is great, lots of pots/pans/utensils provided.

Enjoyed my stay at the Calipso Cottage very much, the quiet location close to the beach was the best part. The loft bedroom made for a airy and restful place to sleep. The only negatives were the mattresses on the bunk beds, they need to be replaced. My son and his friend shared the bunk bed room, and both found it extremely uncomfortable, the mattresses were squishy and the support was entirely missing. My son actually spent the second night sleeping on the sofa.

Other than that our vacation was perfect, the kitchen was spacious for a small cottage and well-appointed with newer appliances that made cooking enjoyable, not a chore.

This place had an amazing home feel to it. It's only a couple blocks from the beach. It is on the other side of the small river so it seems to be less crowded than the southern part of cannon beach, but still within walking distance to town. Great place to stay!

The cottage was beautiful and had an exceptionally well-stocked kitchen. It is located close to town, but unfortunately you cannot walk along the beach to town without taking your shoes off to walk through the shallow river. Not a problem in the summer, but in late fall, it was a little too chilly to go barefoot! You can get to town via the road with no issue. About a ten minute walk.

The house was a little small for six of us; but we had a good time. There is no view but it is convenient to town and has a good back yard for dogs. The closest beach is at the far north end of town; but it's not hard to get to a beach you like around here!

We visited Cannon Beach for my daughter's wedding at Breaker's Point. What an ideal location for this event. She dressed for the wedding at the cottage as well as the bridesmaids and myself--mother of the bride. What a nice memory and then to just walk up the hill and to see the Pacific as the backdrop for the wedding. The cottage was clean and cozy. We enjoyed our stay and we would recommend Calypso Cottage to others.

We stayed 3 nights at the Calypso house in late July and enjoyed it very much. The property management staff made the resevation, payment and check in/check out very easy. For a relatively small house, it feels quite big. We had 6 people and everyone enjoyed it very much. The deck faces west for nice afternoon sun and the beach is a short walk up the street. We walked into town several times too. The house had everything we needed and was in good general shape for a rental beach house. We only found 4 bath towels though, so we ran short for 6 people, but we did find a few beach towels in a dresser drawer which sufficed. I would recommend the Calypso house for a group of 6 or less anytime!
