Neilson's at Cannon Beach

We came in the winter to avoid the crowds.

Difficult getting to the beach.

WE absolutely loved our stay there..the view simply amazing ..the kitchen completely equipped ..the bedding and mattresses perfect. The house has been maintained very well. The location is perfect..easy to walk into town or go for the long walk to the South.

It’s simply a gem…a true Cannon Beach cabin …preserving the feel of the simple beach cabin. This is from someone who has lived in the area 35 yrs ago.

We loved every minute of our stay. The vistas are incredible, we were able to rest as we needed to, and we enjoyed our walks.

The home is lovely and comfortable. It is the most well stocked kitchen I have ever seen in any rental and the location! The view from the front windows is incredible.

We have been coming to Neilson’s for many years. The staff did not mention that the historical beach access from the house has been closed. The public beach access is just two houses north but the stairway at the bottom lacks a handrail and is difficult to navigate.

A very nice and comfortable cottage on the beach. If you have arthritis, as I do, know that there are a lot of stairs to the house and to the beach (but I managed them). The house itself is very nicely equipped with washer/dryer, very well-equipped kitchen, and even books in the bookcase. We really enjoyed our stay and we’re very comfortable.

CBPM was very helpful in giving us the information needed to determine which rental would check all the boxes for us. This house was well equipped, clean and updated without losing it’s wonderful original charm. Perfect spot to view Haystack Rock from the house, see the town and the sites in the area, then come back and visit in the evening while still taking in the view. Enjoyed resting on the comfortable beds at the end of the day. Our experience and stay couldn’t have been better!

We love coming to one of our favorite places and staying ar Neilson's at Cannon Beach makes it great. This wonderful original 1950's Beach bungalow has be updated with beautifully modern bathrooms and a recently remodeled kitchen that is a joy to cook in with a fantastic view of haystack rock and the beach! They amazing views from the living room, dinning room and kitchen make it so delightful even when you are inside watching the winter storms blow by. And when the sun comes out or the rain stops, the short walk down the beach to the rocks is enjoyed by old and young alike. The house is always very clean, has all the necessities in kitchen and bathrooms to make your stay comfortable, and everyone sleeps wonderfully in the comfortable beds listening to the sounds of the waves! This is our go to choice of places to stay when we come to Cannon Beach!

Our 3rd year was as good as the first. This is a cozy relaxing retreat for our girls getaway. Clean, comfortable, and so accessible to the beach.
The wi-if went down and we called the management and they had us up an running quickly. They even offered to come and fix it , but it wasn't necessary.
We would like to return again and again.

Right In Front of haystack rock and easy walking distance to town using the beach or road. How could use a few updated windows in the dining/ living room to allow more air flow during warm afternoon. House has great views and is well stocked.

We were renting the house for the third time. The location is perfect, the view spectacular: quite simply, it is hard to match. I found Cannon Beach (the town) more crowded than in the past - probably in part because the weather was so reliable this year. Otherwise, it is difficult to find anything to complain about.

We were so excited to return to Cannon Beach for our grandson's first ocean experience. Our grand daughter loved the ocean at this age as well. The weather did not disappoint us as 3 of our 5 days were gorgeous.. And who goes to the ocean not expecting a storm. Our house was cozy and felt like home.. Loved the fireplace. We will definitely be back. Our kids say they don't have to search for another vacation home. This one is IT!!!

Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The property management was very curtious and helpful in trying to locate something I thought I'd left behind. We're very pleased with our entire experience.

This was our 3rd visit to Neilsons. We love this property, amazing view and all the amenities the home offers. Great beach access (up and down a hill) for days on the beach and bonfires at night. Washer and dryer, gas grill and fully stocked kitchen. They have thought of everything to make this a comfortable home. Unfortunately we left disappointed on this visit since we were woken up on two different days by very loud yard maintenance (blowers/lawn mowers). I realize the property needs to be maintained but for $500+ per night, coordinating yard work during check out days/times seems warranted. We have mixed feelings about returning.

Anonymous from Snoqualmie - Posted: 9/1/2014

Kathleen~Thank you for your wonderful review. Sorry again for the disturbance from the landscapers. As we discussed upon your check-out, the landscaper is suppose to notify CBPM of any yard maintance taking place while our vacation homes are occupied. I apologize that we were not made aware in advance, therefor were not able to notify you about the work during your visit. Please remember that we are available 7 days a week to assist with any needs during your stay. We do hope to see you again in the future. Take care, Linda

-Could use deck furniture to enhance the property

Neilson’s at Cannon Beach is a beautiful home in a perfectly scenic location adjacent Haystack Rock. Everything about the home is welcoming. It's decorated tastefully and appointed with everything a vacationer wants to find - including comfortable and attractive furnishings, charming art on the walls, plush bed and bath linens, a kitchen stocked with all the tools a competent cook needs, a box outside the front door (and a garage) full of firewood, and even a pair of binoculars on the windowsill.

The home was spotlessly clean when we arrived and we settled in easily.

The grounds around the home are very well maintained and add to its charm. Access to the beach begins at the property’s edge via a private path equipped with steps and handrails.

The rental staff remembered my request to have an outdoor grill ready for us so we could cook fresh seafood during our visit and that was thoughtful.

Our stay at the Neilson’s at Cannon Beach home was wonderful. I happily recommend it to others.

-Fire place supplies lacking-no kindling, no newspaper, no fire place lighter, the matches were so old that they would hardly lite or stay lite.
-Spot light outside the master bedroom stayed on all night every night. It was like having the sun shine on the window, dificult to sleep with so much light. Need light to go out when not in use or put in pull down shade in window to block light.

Great vacation once again, just noticing the property is starting to weather a bit, with the stairs leading down to the cottage and the cottage deck. Both elements had places on the wood where the supports were rotting which wasn't a problem now, but in the future it could be. I'd hate to see aboard break and someone fall.

That's it, we look forward to visiting again in 2013!

The property was everything I expected and more. We felt as if we were staying in a friend's home. The personal belongings such as enscribed hard back books, vases, artwork all were too numerous to describe. The only negative was that the firewood was either green or wet as it simply smoked up the house and created no warmth at all. Otherwise, perfect.

Had dinner at The Irish Table. The food and service could not be beat. Our waiter was a dear! Sat had a nice breckkie at the house before a walk on the beach and storm hit. The hail was great, so too the waves and wind! Had a wonderful dinner at Newmens, the home for a fire and a movie. Plenty of wood made it easy for fires! Sun was sunny so went for a hour beach walk and kicked around town, then dinner at The Stephanie Inn. Amazing servie and food. All and all a very relaxing yet fun time!

We took our 3 month old on his first vacation to Cannon Beach, our favorite get away. This house is very homey and cozy, perfect for a family vacation. The location is fantastic, the views are just amazing. The only thing that would have made this trip easier is having the keys available at the house instead of needing to go to the rental office first and for check out. The best part of the house (besides the view) is the wood burning fireplace and endless amount of wood.

Our 4 night stay at Neilson's was simply TERRIFIC. The only area in which I give it less than 5 stars is 'cleanliness' as the carpets in the living/dining area have soil spots (although EVERYTHING else was very clean)and it's apparent the little house has been enjoyed by many. We had my sister and her husband from North Dakota visiting with us and they, along with us, fell in love with Cannon much so they are currently looking for property to purchase in the area. We plan to return to Cannon Beach as often as possible which may turn out to be more frequent than we originally thought.

This was a great house. It's also very kid-friendly. We were travelling with an 18 month-old and a 3.5 year old and there really wasn't much they could break or "get into". Lots of toys and books for them were already there - and the single floorplan was nice.

Bedrooms very comfortable and great bathrooms. No complaints at all, I hope I get to return some day.

I rented Neilson's for a long weekend with my girlfriend and left with a fiancee. Though the home could easily accomodate a large family, it was perfectly comfortable for two and was a great alternative to the overpriced hotels with the invaluable comfort of privacy. For a comparable dollar amount, why stay in a tiny hotel room when you can have an entire home that includes a beautiful deck, bbq, living room, steam showers, fully equipped kitchen, jaw-dropping views of Haystack Rock and a guaranteed VIP parking spot? If you are thinking about staying oceanfront at Cannon Beach and are looking for a unique experience, you must check this place out. It is worth every penny.

I live in Southern Cal and bring my grandmother up to Cannon Beach once or twice year as a tradition. We have stayed all over Cannon Beach, but Grams is now 93 and we are careful in reserving a home that's easy on her body. We had not booked the Neilson house before. The location is spectacular! The view of Haystack is one of the BEST in all of Cannon Beach. The 20 steps down to the home from the parking spot were very easy and no trouble for Grams, and our strolls down the lovely trail to the sand were very easy as well. The cottage is one level which is perfect for us. It has SO much charm and historical significance, we loved it. In addition, the new bathrooms, refurbished floors and new interior paint lend a clean update, a bit of luxury and modern amenities that made this property ideal for us. Side note: my family has been coming to Cannon Beach since the 1950's. We have always loved the history and we can spend countless hours gazing at the Governor's house (which is next door to this property) as it so perfectly embodies the history and spirit of Cannon Beach. To be able to share the beach path with that grand home and to sit with family and view that property from the deck was wonderful, like a trip back in time.

We loved the home and we'll revisit as often as we can.

It was a great expierence to stay at Neilson's. Beautiful location, lovely interior, well-stocked kitchen. The only problem was having to leave.

Everything was perfect!! One very small suggestion would be a few inexpensive storable containers. We will be back! Thank you so very much!

Three friends celebrating our 40th birthdays. We had a great time. The house has a spectacular view of Haystack Rock. A bit of a walk into town, but a short drive. We were able to sit on the deck one day, which was a gift in late October. The house is well stocked and the bathrooms have recently been renovated. We hope to be back soon!

Holy Pottery Barn, Batman! After thinking about this for most of the week, the decision is to tell all those who visit this site, this property is magical. It's "vibe", as my daughter put it, is"amazing". Interpret that as you wish. We have been working through CBPM for five years and I can only say the person who had a bad experience with the staff at CBPM must have been in a bad mood that day. They have been gracious and helpful given very good advice when we sought it. This property and this property management company are wonderful. If I owned a property here, CBPM would manage it. In the meantime, we have debs on the week around 7/4 (unless the Neilsons want it, of course).
