Calipso Cottage- Pet Friendly- Fenced Backyard-Beach Cabin-Wood Fireplace

Great stay. Would stay here again.

Great time

Overall, I’d give this place a 5/10. The location was nice and the walk to the beach was convenient, which was definitely the best part of the stay.We did run into an issue checking in because we never received the entry code and had to call to get it. Thankfully, the customer service representative on the phone was very friendly and helpful.When we first entered the home, there was a noticeable old/musty smell. We had to open all the windows for a while just to air the place out. The home looked organized at first glance, but the cleanliness could definitely be improved. There were visible spiderwebs and noticeable dust buildup above the kitchen and the decor above the entryway area, which made the place feel less maintained than expected.The backyard was also disappointing, overgrown with weeds and vines, with barely any usable space to enjoy outside.Another thing that felt a little uncomfortable was the amount of family photos displayed throughout the house. It made the space feel less like a neutral vacation rental and more like we were staying in someone’s personal home.There were also no basic amenities like shampoo, body wash, or even coffee provided, which made the stay feel less comfortable than expected for the price.If you’re just looking for a place to sleep while spending most of your time out exploring Cannon Beach, it’s manageable. But for the cost, I honestly think staying at a hotel nearby may provide a better overall experience and value.

We had a great time over a long weekend. My wife and two adult children enjoyed the space. The location is perfect for walking into town and spending time on the beach. We will be back!

This is an excellent, eclectic cottage property in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy walking access to north Cannon Beach. It is quaint, with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. Laundry is outside on the side of the building and fenced backyard is perfect for a dog. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would not hesitated to rent again.

This is a great little place. Beach is within easy walk. The bunk bed was a bit small for a full size adult. Very nice accommodation.

The property was clean. The management was very communicative. However, some expected items were missing (shampoo, conditioner, basic cooking ingredients). The furnace was extremely loud. It was strange to have personal photos on the walls. The space was good for 2-3 people. Anymore would be a squeeze.

The home was perfect for my husband and me. It was very comfortable and close to beach and town.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay at the Calipso Cottage. There was plenty of room for all 6 of us plus our two pups. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. The furnace did stop working while we were there, but the property manager immediately brought over an electric heater and plenty of firewood for us, and everything was warm and cozy again. There was easy access to the beach, and we saw elk out on the beach at sunset on our second night there. We also walked into town, and enjoyed the holiday lights. All in all it was a wonderful vacation at a lovely home.

The house was okay and it was in a nice quiet neighborhood. It had a new deck out front but the back steps leading out into the backyard need some anti-slip tape put on them as my daughter slipped and fell down them the first evening we were there. The only bathroom amenity provided were two small bars of soap, thank goodness my daughter had brought shampoo with her. There were a lot of personal items and pictures everywhere that made you almost feel like you were invading someone's home. The kitchen had most all of the appliances, cookware and plates you would need for meals. We had planned to cook our Thanksgiving dinner there, but a bit of a windstorm blew up and knocked the power out. It was out for several hours, leaving us without heat as well as lights. There were not any candles or lanterns that we were able to find so we ended up packing up and leaving Thursday afternoon as it gets dark early and we didn't want to be there all night without lights or heat. The power outage was by no means the fault of the VRBO owner but they could provide some of the necessities needed for those types of situations.

It is a cute small house . Perfect for the 3 of us and our dog. There is definitely a washer dryer out next to the house in a little room. Plenty of pots and pans in the kitchen we enjoy cooking so that was nice. The hill to get to the beach is a bit much and it’s quit a hike to the beach especially with a kid. We just opted to drive to a different access point. Also the walk to town with a kid was a little farther than we thought. So we drove and parked down town. But again it’s a small town and was no big deal. Over we enjoyed the house.

Stay here if you love deck boards that pop up when you walk across them. Stay here if you love mystery stains on the refrigerator. Stay here if you love a dishwasher that holds 6 items. Stay here if you love cracked bathroom tiles. Stay here if you love sticky kitchen cupboards.

The property managers were very responsive and even stopped over to help when I was unable to find something I needed.

It's somewhat rustic but nice. The refrigerator door showed signs of stains but the inside was clean. Overall it was a good experience. The only three negatives was that there was no umbrella for the front deck area to enjoy the deck, found some kind of medicine(pill) under the bed, and the backyard was unusable due to all the weeds and grasses. It would have been nice if they had mowed prior to our arrival.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was perfect for us,we celebrated our 40th anniversary there. beds were super comfortable, as was the furniture. Kitchen was great, nice having a dishwasher. Wish there was a clothes washer and dryer (somehow I missed that when booking), but we managed. So close to the beach, loved the walk there and also an easy walk to town! We enjoyed the shops and galleries!! Also a quick drive to Seaside and Astoria which was great!! The big pine tree in the front deck was a bit of a pain as it dripped sap on the car no matter where we parked, but it washed off fairly easily. We stayed the first two weeks of June, weather was great.

This home was nice and in a quiet area. The- beach access is up a big hill and then down a very steep sand hill which isn’t great for some people. The listing said there was clothes washing machine but THERE IS NOT! This was an issue as we had travelled before getting here and counted on washing clothes.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Its a good home away from home but needs a few items fixed. The front and back have deck boards that need replacing and could be a hazard. The spiral stairs would be accessible by more if there were some traction strips on the stairs. While its a well loved house, its at the point where it needs a deep cleaning and some;painting. The futance may need to be checked as it makes a load bang each time it turns on.

Very nice for a small group (there were three of us) and the loft was a hit with our teenager who likes privacy.

Great birthday weekend getaway. House was nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood just on the outskirts of town. We would rent this house again in the future.

First of all I want to say we were grateful for the cute little house and its location to the beach! The house was not clean and it is very cluttered with the owners personal items. It felt strange, as if I was barging in on their home. There were no beach chairs, no beach towels, no bikes for a stroll and lacking was an overall effort for the renter to feel welcome! Although it is stamped and written all over the paperwork and in the three ring binder made for the house with all the instructions for the house, I received a call the day prior to our last day at 3:00 pm reminding me that checkout was at 11:00 am the following day. Nothing says your rest and relaxation and welcome to our home, like being reminded, again, of when you are supposed to leave. It's all about the money and not at all about the experience and about taking care of the customer. Sad.....I will not ever again rent from this company.

Nice older property. Very clean. Nice neighborhood. Minutes from beach and area activities. I would recommend.

The location for Calypso cottage can’t be beat. Beach access, and restaurants are just a few blocks away. The living room is comfortable and cozy. There’s a fireplace and we were promised a starter log, but we did not receive it. The beds are quite comfortable however the first night before sleeping, we looked at them and found sand in the sheets and on one and on the other, there was a pair of Christmas socks, water it up way down by the foot of the bed and the sheets. Made us wonder if the sheets were washed at all, especially when they emphasize that you are not to strip the that’s when you leave. Lastly the bedrooms have these very dense gel pillows that were not comfortable at all. We wished we had brought our own. The kitchen is well appointed and has everything you need however, the plates that we tried to eat off of the first night were covered in dried food, I think the dishwasher maybe doesn’t work very well. I think our overall opinion was that it’s a cute little vacation cottage well located, but really needs to a deep clean and an update as it’s quiet .
