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.

Relaxing, great view

The view of the beach and Haystack Rock are great. We watched surfers in the morning from living/dining room area. And the waves all afternoon. There was enough room for 5 of us. Even though there’s only one full bath downstairs and half bath for upstairs it all worked out. I would book this house again in the future.

Love this little house

This is a darling, immaculate, updated 1940 cottage. Small, but perfect for us. And room for many to sleep, which would work especially well in the summer when most of your time would be spent outdoors. The view of Haystack Rock is awesome, though there are electric wires and homes blocking it a bit. Beach access is easy. It seems clear that the owners have invested in the inside; the next step might be to improve the parking, which is not ideal. Still - we are hoping to visit again. It has become our new favorite Cannon Beach hideaway.

4-day getaway October 2024

This adorable restored family home clearly had a lot of love put into it and attention to details. It had plenty of room for our family of 4. Very short walk to the beach, lots to walk to in town both north and south. Didn’t do a lot of cooking, but kitchen was very well stocked. Super clean and beds were very comfortable. Easy gas fireplace to keep the house warm during the cooler nights. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends. Thank you!!

Cozy Getaway w/ Spectacular View

We arrived Thanksgiving evening in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset! There was a fire going in the fireplace which made the cottage warm and cozy. The cottage was exceptionally clean with a well-stocked kitchen that had all the necessities for basic cooking needs. We were pleasantly surprised by a visit from some elk outside the living room window. We are looking forward to returning soon!

Girls’ weekend

Perfect. The newly remodeled house is well thought out and beautifully decorated. We noticed every single detail. The beds were very comfortable. We left the windows open and heard the ocean all night. It is a short walk to the beach and a 15 minute walk to the main part of Canon Beach. The kitchen was the most well equipped of any place we had ever stayed. Loved it.

Wonderful Cannon Beach Find

The Haystack Rock house was a wonderful find. Solidly built, meticulously maintained, and obviously loved. Everything we could have wanted was present in the house: extra blankets, games, kitchen gadgets, etc. An initial glitch presented itself at check in, but Amy was incredibly responsive and resolved the situation immediately. We would definitely return.

Amazing beach house short walk to the sand!

The is our second time staying at Peggy's house and it's just perfect. I can't say a single thing negative. Everything is so clean and comfortable. The house is in perfect condition and has everything you need, beds are comfortable, kitchen is fully equipped (we cooked almost all our meals in the house). Peggy and Dave were responsive to any questions we had. There was a minor plumbing issue, but resolved immediately. Our stay was just wonderful. I can't wait to come back again!

Coziest Cottage in Cannon Beach

We came to Cannon Beach for two nights and wish it was a week. This little cottage was absolutely perfect, stunning views of Haystack and the ocean, steps to the beach, beautifully restored, immaculate and equipped with everything we could want. Gas fireplace, on demand water heater, washer and dryer, well equipped kitchen, it even had essentials often not provided like spices and olive oil. Communication with the owner Peggy was great and self check in was a breeze. It's an easy walk on the road or on the beach to the first part of town, try the Pelican Brewery fish and chips (about .5 miles). You can also walk to main part of town (1 mile) for lots of great restaurants and coffee shops. We hope to come back very soon, maybe later this spring or summer, this time for longer!! Thank you Peggy for a wonderful stay!!

Simply perfect!

A December mom and daughter two day getaway in this cute home was the best! Every "i" dotted and "t" crossed. Nothing was missing. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook anything! The beds were comfortable. Everything was perfect. ESPECIALLY the view. Been coming to Cannon Beach for the last 50 years and this house captures it's essence beautifully. My in-laws have a VRBO in the Caribbean so I am definitely picky about where I stay and the quality of the place. Nice sheets, plush towels, stocked kitchen are all things my mother-in-law insures is perfect for her guests. Because of this, I have high standards. This place at Cannon Beach met my every need, want and more! Thank you so much for keeping it up so nicely. We will definitely be back and so many friends who have viewed my FB wall have asked for the link. I highly recommend this spot for a couple of nights or a couple weeks!! What a find!

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Amato

Host profile image
When we were kids we used to go to Cannon Beach because our neighbors had a house there. Relatives from North Dakota were treated with trips to the beach whenever they visited. After the death of our father, our mom bought this house in 1974 looking forward to spending her retirement at the beach she so loved. It was a favorite spot for family and friends alike.

Mom wanted to share this beautiful spot with friends and began renting. We are happy to continue making the house available for others to enjoy.
