The master bedroom on the 3rd floor faces west to see Haystack. The other 3rd floor bedroom has 2 queen beds, antique furniture, a reading nook, also with Haystack view, .

Flat screen TV and a nice sound system on the 2nd floor offering iPod or iPhone connection to play Pandora selections, if desired. TV in master bedroom and ground floor as well.
This was a family home for 30 yrs, chosen by my mother, Dorothy. Though she's gone now, the many years we enjoyed visiting this home have great memories.

Nice location away from busy downtown but close to a very beautiful area of beach. My family enjoyed our stay, loved having fires on the beach. The house was equipped with all necessities including plenty of towels, soap, tp, etc. We were all very comfortable staying here and would return if ever in the area again.

Great house for a group of seven. The bedrooms were a great size and perfect to have 3 bathrooms!!! Wonderful location to walk to the beach and the park area by Mo's so the grandsons could play. We had elk all around the house on the first day, so fun to watch. I like the Tolovana area, not so crowded on the beach and quiet. Three days of sunny weather and calm wind.

This is a beautiful home to spend your vacation or a weekend away. It is just one block from a super cute coffee shop and barely a block from the beach. We had a fantastic time. You can easily walk to Haystack rock. It’s a quiet and lovely location with everything you could possibly need. Most important to me is that the bed was incredibly comfortable and warm highly recommend.

Great property just a few blocks off the beach. Very clean and all in good repair. We especially liked the fact that the kitchen was well appointed so we were able to cook effectively (many VRBOs we are in have spartan supplies/utensils). Highly recommend. Quick note - if you have trouble with stairs this could be an issue — there is one primary bedroom downstairs with en suite but all other living area is upstairs. Did not impact our stay, but just fyi.We will definitely rebook here if we are back in town.

Annual beach trip

This house is perfect. Plenty of space for everyone to move around. The decks are great for catching some afternoon sun and the kitchen has everything you need. The owner is prompt with check in details and very reachable if needed. This was our 3rd stay and already have the house booked for next summer. Beach is also a very short and easy walk.

Wonderful coast getaway

Our family (my husband and I, our 7 year old son, and his grandparents) all loved staying at the Dorothy Lou. The home itself is very clean and well appointed, plenty of towels and linens. Having access to the beach, amazing coffee shop, and grocery store all within walking distance made our stay a breeze. Some of our favorite memories we will take from the trip are our morning walks to the tide pools by Haystack Rock and playing board games around the table in the evenings. We would love to stay again!

Cozy beach home with old world feel

The property manager was very responsive and even called to check in on us when he heard the power was out. The home is cozy with more beach views than the photos let on. Beds were very comfortable and linens of good quality. The kids enjoyed playing flashlight hide and seek when the power was off and we had a very nice stay.
