Amazing Autumn Stay
We were 2 couples that stayed at this lovely Hemlock House! 2 blocks from a great stretch of beach.
Homey feel, well supplied kitchen & comfortable beds!
We plan to stay again !!
Thank you~
The host was amazing and quick to answer any questions I had. Their provided reading materials and various board games provided much needed entertainment when we weren't out and about. We were especially grateful for the surplus bedding and the quality of hot water. Lastly, access to a washer/dryer, dishwasher, and the supplied detergents made the stay everything we needed it to be.The checkout process couldn't have been more simple and straight forward.
Great location! Lovely home! Enjoyed the deck and our elk friends!

Fun with friends
Our stay at the Hemlock House was wonderful! It very comfortably fit two families with kids, who spent much of the time when not at the beach playing foosball, doing puzzles (the house has many puzzles and books), and playing hide and seek. The gas fireplaces are very cozy, and the adults even spent a night watching a movie on Apple TV. The kitchen is small but well stocked with tools, including crackers for crab, nice pots and pans, and sharp knives. The beach is a 5 minute walk away with easy access.
It is definitely a well loved older home with minor wear issues - which with children, I appreciate not having to worry about spilled milk or a scuff on the floor. I very much appreciated that the flooring was all hard (no carpet), and my tree and weed allergies were not an issue there. I would not hesitate to return in the future.
There was a gas leak in the house. We couldn’t use the stove and oven as the gas company came and shut off the gas to the stove. None of the smoke detectors worked as the batteries were dead. I replaced the batteries.

Thank you for sharing this with us. We want to let you know that once these issues were brought to our attention, our team did make every effort to address and resolve them during your stay.
We understand how concerning this must have been and are truly sorry for the inconvenience and stress it caused. Your safety and comfort are very important to us, and we appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention so they could be handled.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
Like how cozy and clean the house is and the amount of space it has. Also how it’s a 4 minute walk from the beach, The dishwasher was broken but communicated to us before our arrival. We will most definitely be staying there in the future it had everything we needed.
We really enjoyed our time here in this home. We were a block from the amazing beach. Great decks, a perfect beach house vibe and a fun stay. We wish we'd stayed longer!
We stayed here for our annual cousins gathering, and this house was great! It was clean, cozy, had plenty of room for everyone, and it was an a convenient location to access the beach. It had everything you needed in the kitchen. I loved that it had a washer and dryer! I would highly recommend this place!
We enjoyed staying at this property. We loved that there were three floors, so the family had room to spread out.The light coming through the large windows on the main floor was wonderful. The property was easy to locate, and having two parking spots was much appreciated.
The house was not clean and that made it difficult to be at ease during our stay. It was very dusty. Several things were broken, the most obvious was a headboard hanging down from one of the beds. The furniture and building materials of the house were either very old, or made of some inexpensive material.
Our stay was relatively good. No real issues with the property. The dishwasher wasn’t working, which was communicated on the day of check in. It was a little last minute, but still understandable. We loved that we were within walking distance of the beach, and only a short 5 minute drive to downtown Cannon Beach. This felt like staying at an older relative’s house. It’s cozy, but it’s got its own quirks.

Place is a little bit run down, pictures are deceiving. On top of that, we had a severe issue involving a gas leak that required the gas to be shut off for half our stay - we couldn’t shower, cook or do laundry. We understand things happen but the property management handled it very poorly. I still haven’t received any type of credit or compensation back and VRBO is no help either. Save yourself the trouble and book elsewhere

Hello Bill, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Please know that we strive to provide accurate representations of our property including its size, layout and features. So we are left wondering what we could have done to earn a 5 star review. VRBO does consider anything less than 5 stars as subpar and we would have loved to know what could have been done to enhance your stay! It was a pleasure hosting you and we would gladly have you back.

The Positives:Location: Excellent—easy walk to the beach and close to the city center. Off-street parking was a plus.Management: The rental company was very responsive before and during our stay.Amenities: New oven/range and outdoor grill. They allowed dogs, which was a major perk.The Unfortunate (Needs Improvement):Overall, the house felt like a poorly maintained rental. Our basic assessment was to "touch as little as possible."Maintenance & Quality: The house needs general maintenance, including fixing the almost unusable patio sliding door. The furniture was very worn (college-kids style).Kitchen Issues: New appliances were installed without a proper retrofit, making some drawers and cabinets inaccessible. Utensils were a hodgepodge.Cleanliness: There was a strong musty smell, and a deep cleaning is needed (including windows). The decor was a mix-match of "garage-sale" finds.Heating: Heating sources were outdated (circa 1970 wall heaters, baseboard, electric pot belly stove) and looked undusted/unreliable.Location Note: It was not clear the house sits right on hwy 101, resulting in a fair amount of road noise.Missing Essential: A vacuum cleaner is necessary due to debris tracked in from the rain and pine needles.Summary: We would not rent here again. The excellent location and great mgmt could not fully compensate for the house's lack of general maintenance, worn furnishings, and overall lower standard.we left early.
Very disappointing! Property was very unkept-had to sweep out unit just to get pine needles out that got tracked in because no where to park except stone/dirt parking area - bushes and trees are consuming the building. Dead flies and cobwebs in window sills along w random screw laying on sills. Old food on built in cutting board. Don’t think windows have been washed in years! Just an overall mess! Only reason I even gave it 1 star is to be sure next families know to avoid this place! Ironic my husband got a msg asking how our stay was - and they couldn’t be bothered to even act like they cared. We had booked this for 3 nights but cut our stay short by a night to get to a clean hotel! Worst place we’ve ever stayed - and we have travelled all over the world!

We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and want to sincerely apologize for the condition of the property during your stay. It’s clear we fell far short of expectations, and we completely understand your frustration — especially after planning for a relaxing getaway.
The issues you described — from the exterior upkeep to the interior cleanliness — are unacceptable and absolutely not the standard we aim to provide. We’re especially sorry that your concerns left you feeling unheard and unsupported. That is not the level of service we strive for, and we’re taking your feedback seriously.
Our team has already been alerted and is addressing the maintenance and cleanliness concerns you mentioned. This includes a full inspection and deep cleaning of the property to ensure it meets the level of care every guest deserves.
We’d appreciate the chance to speak with you directly to offer appropriate compensation and take responsibility for the impact this had on your trip. While we can’t change the experience you had, we’d like to make it right.
Thank you again for sharing your honest feedback — it helps us improve, and we’re truly sorry your stay wasn’t what it should have been.
There are structural issues with this property that need to be addressed. The posts that hold up the deck are not even attached to the holders. There is an open trench with pvc pipe (sewer line) right out the back door. Every closet is filled with junk so you cannot hang clothes. Front blinds are broken so you can see into windows. House is right across from the beach though. Definitely not worth the money.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your stay. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered and want to assure you that we have addressed the structural concerns with the deck. The safety and comfort of our guests are our top priorities, and we have taken the necessary steps to resolve these matters promptly. We also appreciate your insights regarding the other aspects of the property. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve. Thank you once again for your input. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much improved experience in the future.
For the price this was a great choice for large groups who can split costs. We had a group of 8 and there was ample sleeping room and we split the cost 3 ways which was equivalent to the hotels/campground cabins in the area. Many (BUT not all) of the previous issues have been resolved. House is very musty and damp with in 12 hours of last clean. There are no smoke/ cO2 dectors and there is at least 1 window with no screen. Parking lot is tree covered so downstairs gets very messy with dirt/pine needles anytime you walk inside (shoes off at the door highly recommended unless you really like sweeping) Middle level is very cozy but we managed to fit everyone the large dining table even made it reasonable when our friends stopped by to visit. Kitchen fits 1 person comfortably and cabinets are filled if you need room for a lot of groceries. (Grocery is close so if we stayed again we would just do bargain shopping in seaside which is a 15/20 min drive)Gas stove is brand new, dishwasher is newish, and washer and dryer work well. Fridge is smaller but worked fine. Grill looked brand new but only had one working element (very very dirty) we did not hang out on the deck. Its very shaded, trees were dropping sap. Beds were very basic, we had no issues (late 30s with no issues) but older friends did complain (early to mid 50s)Check out procedures were easy and minimal which was nice.

I rarely ever do a review, but to be honest I was really disappointed with the house. I saved and planned for months to take this vacation and I was really hopeful that it would be as good as previous vacation rentals I've used in the past. To start off the email I was sent had the wrong house address which made it difficult to find, I had to use the pictures from the listing. My first impression was that the house looked abandoned as the outside looked like there was no upkeep. The little bit of grass there wa was knee high and everything else was overgrown. Upon entering the house there was a strong odor of mold and mildew. I actually went and bought a can of air freshener. The silverware drawer had food stuck to the tray and utensils. The stove needs work as the smell of gas did linger so the window was open most of the time. The main floor bathtub looks like it has been patched several times and the handle looked like it was moldy. Above the shower also had what appeared to be mold around the top. The towels smelled moldy like they were left to sit in the washer for days before being dried. It is a pet friendy house which was fine but the couches were covered in dog hair. The toilet handle was broken. It was tidy but really needs a deep clean There were so many things.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointment and want to sincerely apologize for the condition of the home upon your arrival. It's especially disheartening to know that this experience fell so far short after you spent months planning and saving for your vacation. You deserved a much better stay.
We’re especially concerned to hear about the incorrect address in the check-in email — that should never happen, and we’re investigating how this occurred so we can ensure it doesn’t happen to future guests. The issues you described regarding cleanliness, maintenance, and the general upkeep of the property are completely unacceptable and not at all in line with the standards we aim to maintain.
Please know that as soon as we received your review, we escalated these concerns to our housekeeping and maintenance teams for immediate review and corrective action. We also want to clarify that had we been made aware during your stay, our local team would have done everything possible to address these issues right away.
We would appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to us directly so we can discuss appropriate compensation and explore how we can restore your trust in a future stay.

The place was impossible to find because iTrip had the address wrong. We were only able to find it after zooming in on the photo of the listing to find the correct house number. But that was fine compared to the rest of our experience.
This property knowingly had issues with their stove and gas leaking from it due to faulty knobs and did not warn us of the issues. We used the stove at night and could not turn the gas off. We had to wait until 2am for iTrips maintenance person to arrive to locate and turn off the gas valve.
The next morning we waited for someone from the gas company who confirmed that the knobs were broken, and iTrip would not issue a refund for the major inconvenient stay/experience we had due to their negligence.
Our plans to stay on Cannon beach for two nights were ruined.
They said we could stay because there was no longer a safety issue, but one of our requirements was a functional kitchen.
Expedia was no help either, they said we needed to call them during our stay, not after. We didn’t think that iTrip would be unreasonable.
Just don’t stay here, the place smells terrible, the garbage cans were full to overflowing, and the customer service is terrible!
