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.

This property’s location was just perfect!Just steps from the beach and walking distance from downtown. The view of the ocean from the house was spectacular! Although the weather was overcast and raining while visiting it didn’t dampen our stay. The property was extremely clean.Definitely recommend staying here.

Host was easy to work with; kitchen was well stocked and very clean; laundry located in the kitchen area was most helpful. Beautiful bungalow. Very steep hill down to public access is hard to negotiate for seniors, so be aware. Perfect view of Haystack Rock.

Absolutely incredible view of Haystack Rock with nearly-direct access to the beach! Six of us stayed at this house for two nights, and I’ll note that there is one bedroom with a queen bed and then upstairs is open with the remaining sleeping arrangements (we had a snorer that was banned to the couch). I would undoubtably recommend this property.

Lovely little cottage with view over the rooftops of Haystack rock. Recently remodeled and updated. Kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The upstairs is one big room with several beds and a half bath. The other bedroom and a full bath are downstairs. We only had 2 adults and one teen so it was plenty big enough for us. Easy walk down the hill to the beach. Would definitely book again!

We visited Cannon Beach to celebrate my son’s high school graduation. Although we’ve been there several times before, this trip was special because a friend and his girlfriend joined us. I chose this house because it seemed like the best fit for our group, and it exceeded expectations. It was beautiful, spotless, and full of charm. The home had everything we needed, including a full kitchen, laundry, and plenty of sleeping space. The beds were very comfortable, and we slept soundly each night to the sound of the waves. The view was wonderful, and the beach was only a short three-minute walk away. We had an amazing time and would happily rent this home again. We highly recommend this charming, welcoming home to anyone seeking a spectacular view of Haystack Rock.Thank you !!!

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.
