Close, cute, economical, and clean (sort of)

The Shell Cottage is really cute inside, with nice furnishings and kitchen appliances. It was very adequate for 2 nights. On the inland side of the main beach road, it's not far to walk approx 2 blocks to ocean access. It's convenient to downtown and to the awesome Sleepy Monk Coffee Shop. Very comfy bed, nice towels, hot shower. This cottage is close to Haystack Rock and very cute inside and out; we appreciated the economical option for staying with our dog. The cottage is quite small. We were glad to have a rare sunny, clear day in Winter. If it was raining ... it would've been hard. Parking is tricky if one guest doesn't think about the other guests; painted lines may help designate space. The cottage was pretty clean, except for the "used" toilet upon arrival. Also, there was no bedding for the futon, which we planned to use - we called and left 4 messages before someone came around 8 pm and brought sheets. There should've been a blanket for the futon too. The only heat source is a small blower in the bedroom and small gas fireplace in the main room; it was very cold when we arrived. No heat had been on. Heat was hard to regulate. Having a host on site would've made the difference in these issues/questions. Our digital guest book didn't work, and after repeated calls for bedding, it wasn't worth it to call to ask for something like a broom. An on site host would make a big difference. Once you arrive, you're sort of on your own.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cottage was cute and basically clean, but not well kept. The heat was a very small portable heater that caused the power to go out a couple of hours after arriving. The power was still on in the bedroom so we just went to bed. The number I was given was either a bot or had never been to the property as the texter kept asking me to send a picture and to check the fuse box downstairs, there was no downstairs. It had an unusual smell too. I’ve stayed at the many, many times and the smell doesn’t usually bother me, but this one did for some reason. The place has potential but needs some updates.

Overall really great!!

Some of the other reviews worried me but honestly it is EXACTLY what is stated and what is in the photos. It was exactly what I expected and had everything I needed and even more (they offered soap and towels). Got cool when I needed it to and the place was easy to warm up as well. Everything was perfect for me and my partner. I think the futon could be updated for a few one as you can feel the springs. Thankfully none of us had to sleep on it. Shower could use an extra deep clean but nothing was gross or dirty at all. Very center to everything in the town.

Place to sleep

You get what you pay for. The interior is in need of a good coat of paint and replacement of furniture. Mattress was comfy enough but pillows were flat. Good place to sleep but glad we booked somewhere else for the rest of our trip.

Disappointing - DO NOT RECOMMEND!

We arrived at the property at 2:41 hoping to be able to get in early. I reached out to Vacasa and was told “regrettably no”. We stayed in the parking spot until 3:18, no one coming or going and asked again and was told no and that the key lock would accept my code at 4:00pm. Another family came early, we relayed our experience, but their code “worked” (cottage 5) approx 3:40 and they were able to get in. We waited until 3:57, tried until 4:02, and finally our code worked. While we were waiting in the small courtyard, one of the chairs had a crack in the seat (not usable), and the other one kept coming apart when leaning back. It was very frustrating. The cottage is definitely small. The futon was uncomfortable with springs or several hard things poking across the entire bottom area, I kept moving around to try to find a comfortable area to sit. My friend and I had to switch places to sit for at least one of us to be comfortable. The bedroom was so small, there wasn’t a place to put a suitcase. I could see that others had pushed the bed over (marks on the wall where the headboard was) and I could understand why. The bathroom walls above the sink had swelling to the walls and the toilet seat surface was peeling and looked terrible. The one night we did stay there (although I paid for 2) was not good. The bed was so hard and the futon was so uncomfortable. We hardly slept. We left the next day to a place that gave us the experience we wanted.

Great small cottage, very quiet. Sofa bed is a bit hard so bring a foamie if you plan on using it. Otherwise, great. Location is very convenient - close to beach and town centre.

Cannon Beach Bungalow

Great location near the heart of Cannon Beach. We loved being close to the beach and being able to walk into town for breakfast. However, the house itself wasn’t the best. There was an awful smell in the living room/ kitchen area. I reached out to the property manager and I was told someone would come out the next day. No one ever came. I would not stay again.

Cozy cottage in a fantastic location!

A wonderful quiet and convenient location, just a couple blocks from the beach, and easy walking/biking into town or to our favorites, Sleepy Monk Coffee and the Hardware Store Pub. Cottage was cozy, comfortable and clean, just right for the two of us and our 5 yr old daughter.

Not as pictured, dirty, and not manager not responsive

This is not a pleasant place to stay. The photos here are edited to make it seem nicer and brighter (the couch in the living room is grey/green, not orange/brown) and taken with a wide angle camera lens so it seems larger. It's smaller and dingier than the pictures make it seem. It's not well maintained at all, and honestly seems like they didn't really clean the place between guests. I told vacasa about this when we arrived, and they said they would follow up local management and send someone to clean, but we never heard back. More details below, but the summary is I wouldn't go back, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else stay here either. - Shower had a significant amount of mold and mildew growing in it - Carpet was covered in sand, white dog hair, and food crumbs - We found dirty dishes in the cupboard - There's no place to put luggage other than the living room. If you're staying here with 4 people, you have to put your luggage in the kitchen I guess - The sofa in the living room is bizarrely uncomfortable. Feels like springs poking into your bottom - It gets hot during the day in the summer and there's no fan or air movement. We opened the windows, and the breeze brought in a strong smell of sewage - The fridge seems to be having mechanical problems. There was a pulsating whirring/grinding noise - The toilet doesn't flush well and gets stuck running, and the bathroom sink faucet is loose/wiggly with poor water pressure I ran out of room to list all the other issues!

Quiet and a nice walk to the beach

It was very nice because of how quiet it was and the rooms are clean and tidy, the convenience of door keypad access, no need of a front desk etc. I loved how relaxed the location was. Will stay again in the future .

Unbeatable location

The location of these little cottages is unbeatable. It was super quaint and cute! Has everything you’d need for a weekend getaway for 2. I would NOT try sleeping on the front “sofa” - it was super hard. Definitely a pet friendly unit and smelled a bit like dog pee. We wished the gas fireplace was working but it they had just put a small electric on in front of the gas one, which was still okay. Overall, a decently cheap place to stay for a few nights. Just set your expectations correctly and you’ll have likely have a good time :)

Needs a lot of TLC

Property is over run by blackberries. Fences are falling apart. No screens on windows. Coffee spilled down side of kitchen cabinet and wall that did not get cleaned up. Duct tape on trim/floor at front door. Area rug old and falling apart. Cob webs in light/fan in bathroom. Dirty baseboards. Obviously wasn’t cleaned great. We had to repair the table leg as it was about to collapse and we also had to fixed the door knob as it was about to fall off as well. Speaking with the couple in unit 3. They said the flooring was coming up and they had windows that could not be opened at all. Property is in a great location but needs to be updated and repairs are a must. Totally misrepresented on vacasa and VRBO. Need to fire the housekeeper and property managers for lack of maintenance and cleaning.

So cute! I agree with some of the other reviews that its not really a 4-person place, the couch bed is too small for 2 adults. Luckily we had 2 small children on it and it was perfect for us fo a couple of nights. Such a great location to easil walk to the beach. Cannon beach is amazing and we will come back!!

Could be great but lacks

Do not plan on sleeping on the futon! It was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. We had problems from the start with the keypad getting in along with two other parties checking in so the whole system was flawed. We were on hold with Vacasa for 30 minutes before a human would finally help get keys from a lock box. The keypad never worked. The cottage was clean but the courtyard was unkept and smelly from all the dog pee. These cottages could great if someone put a little effort into them. They are just a few blocks from the beach and walking distance to restaurants/shops. We enjoyed meeting our neighbors too. All of us agreed we would never stay here again.
