We had a great time at this amazingly beautiful, well appointed home. The location and views are simply stunning. Highly recommend!

Upon arrival we noticed several things that led us to believe the home wasn’t cleaned properly - used bobby pins and hair ties on the window ledge in the primary bedroom, empty la croix cans in the loft, etc. we didn’t report it because it wasn’t a huge deal and we never want to be annoying guests (this was a mistake.) The coffee maker didn’t work, several outlets did not work, and the windows in the primary don’t open because they’re crusted shut, presumably from sea air. Staying on the coast and listening to the ocean at night is truly the best, so this was a bummer , but again, not a huge deal. We just chose to open the door instead of messing with the crusty windows . The views are nice and the little things didn’t matter that much — until we were slapped with an $800 bill for “breaking” blinds on windows we didn’t touch , without any sort of heads up or communication ahead of a false $800 claim. Our group consisted of my parents (both over 70) and my inlaws (both over 65) and our two children. My mom is a clean freak and left the space cleaner than we found it (including tossing la croix cans from previous guests.) This is a nice house in a pretty location but the views aren’t worth the risk of a host trying to pin an absurd charge on a guest with zero proof. If you decide to stay, inspect every nook and cranny and report what you find immediately. We won’t be back.

The Happy Clam was the perfect place for us to gather with our 7 children, 2 son in laws, and 2 grandsons. Tidal pools, sunsets, beach bonfire, MO’s, Cannon beach shopping, and waterfalls. Sun h a fantastic week of memory making. Quick and friendly communication with the property manager and owner took care of two minor issues. Thank you for a wonderful week!

This place was so beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, nice large table to sit at with everyone. It was very peaceful listening to the ocean.

Fabulous home, gorgeous furnishings, incredible view, everything we wanted or needed to make our family weekend perfect.

The home itself and the location are amazing- the absolute best! It made our family reunion magical and memorable. We hope we get a chance to return some day. Our stay couldn't have been any better!

It was my sister's birthday and we decided to get the whole family together for some quality time. The house is amazing and in an incredilble location. We cant wait to come back! The host was gracious with her emails and thoughtful with reccommendations. We appreciate the hospitality!

Loved loved loved this place. Wish I could stay forever. Perfect location, not too far from stores or restaurants, Tillamook, and way better views than anywhere we went. Awesome job on decor and setup, well provisioned kitchen. I've stayed at a lot of STRs and this is the only one I'd actually come back to again. Thanks for a great stay!

The house had amazing views. Very easy access to the beach for walks and exploring. We lucked out on the weather. Only rained the first night and next morning but nice the rest of the time. Great sunsets. House had plenty of room for my whole family. Large house but very cozy. Kitchen appears new with lots of amenities. Would highly recommend the house.

Excellent space for large family Christmas gathering.

This home is in the ideal location. My friends and I have gotten together in the area for years and were so happy with this home that we booked it again for next year already. Plenty of sleeping space, open concept for great conversations, games, and crafting, with a fireplace to help with the damp chill of winter. Would be wonderful for family gathering in the summer as well!

Beautiful views and well cared-for property that was perfect for our extended family gathering of mostly young-to-older adults (with one four-year-old). Kitchen was well equipped for a family full of cooks (including two professional chefs). Lots of thought went into equipping this house, and it worked well when we had 14 for dinner one day during the Thanksgiving weekend. Mostly, we slept 7 or 8 very comfortably. And did I mention the spectacular views?

We recently stayed here for a destination wedding in Cannon Beach. I wanted a house for my family to enjoy during the downtime. Besides having everything you need for comfort and livability (i.e. washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen) the view and surrounding landscape makes this home one of a kind and worth every penny. The view was so amazing even doing dishes was inspiring. Drinking coffee, watching the waves in the morning to having a glass of wine watching the waves in the evening... I am so grateful the owners of this home are willing to share it with the world. I am genuinely hoping I can make it back one day.

Everything about this house was great. The view and the sound of breaking waves made our stay very relaxing. Great kitchen (we rarely went out to eat our entire stay), very comfortable living area with fireplace, and a beautiful deck made us wish we had booked a longer stay.

Thank you, everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful time exploring the tide pools, fishing (catching a crab), playing on the beach, taking long mid morning walks (2 miles) up the beach and back, sitting on the deck, watching the waves, sitting around a fire on the beach, shopping at Cannon Beach, eating at Pelican Brewery (also Big Wave Cafe and Moe's), grilling steaks and seafood on Saturday night, putting a puzzle together and relaxing in the living room. The Happy Clam is a great retreat. Thank you!!

The best rental experience ever!

We had a wonderful time with family at this home. It’s location is unmatched and better than we could have hoped. One of a kind and stunning views of the cape and easy access to stream and arch. Our family loved our stay!

We rarely get the opportunity together as a family. The location, room configuration, large common area, activities on the beach, proximity to the beach and the inventory to accommodate us all was perfect! We have had the most wonderful weekend and everything about your home has left a beautiful impression on us! Thanks so much for opening up your home!

And incredible vacation home at Beautiful Arch Cape

This was our second time doing our annual family vacation at the Happy Clam. The Clam is clean, well appointed and stocked. We appreciated the new dining table on the deck with bistro lights along with all the lovely accommodations. Double laundry was amazing for all the beach outfits and towels required for an amazing family week at the beach. 3 cousins 7/7/5yo love sleeping in the loft and the king sized quality beds and linens are fantastic. We look forward to returning in the future for more stellar beach access, relaxation, and memories for our multigenerational family trip.

It’s a fantastic place to stay. We love it there. We really love the improvements made recently. This was our third or fourth year at this house. Only two items detract from our stay 1. The barbecue is in terrible shape. Very dirty and in need of replacement in our opinion 2. The price keeps going up every year so it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to continue to stay. This is an ideal vacation rental. Our entire family loves our experience there.

I can’t stress enough how incredibly beautiful this property is. It’s well taken care of and with a breathtaking view of the ocean.

This property is amazing!! Spacious/filled with light/well stocked kitchen! All bathrooms are updated .... the house is well taken care of. The beds are comfortable.... the rooms quiet! Our favorite on the Oregon Coast!

Any time diverse family members come together there is potential for conflict but not at Happy Clam. There was something for everyone of all ages and interests. After enjoying the beach walks, hiking, surfing, shopping, spa day, breweries, etc., we were all able to reunite with joyful spirits back at the Happy Clam to enjoy cocktails, a gorgeous sunset, a home cooked meal and comaradarie and board games against the backdrop of a roaring fire. Lovely, just lovely!

One of the best VRBO’s I’ve used. Very well appointed. Great beads with high end bedding. The views are amazing with the feel of a private beach alcove. We will definitely be going back!

This was the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in! I organized a family reunion and this property seemed perfect! I didn’t realize just how perfect it was!! The beds were comfortable, plenty of room, layout was fantastic and the view and deck were superb!! Use the path to get to the beach, not the rocks. Easier that way! The kitchen was wonderfully stocked! The only thing I had to get was Kleenex. No big deal! Loved our perfect family vacation!!!

First, we were very pleased with the property. All furniture was in very good shape. Location was absolutely fantastic. Last house in the row, so nice and quiet. Outstanding deck with plenty of comfortable chairs. Great views from inside the house. There are a couple of things that are easy to work with, if you plan ahead, and don't hinder the overall value of the rental, IMO. 1) Parking is tight if your family does not carpool together. We did fine with 5 cars, but 6 would have been a problem. 2) The dishwasher is small. Takes two loads sometimes. 3) Oven is small, but the stovetop and barbecue are good-sized. Just plan meals accordingly.

Kathleen your home and location are stunning!!! Every one loved our stay (11 of us). The only suggestion for a better stay from someone who has a vrbo rental is to provide a couple of nonstick skilets other then that your home was perfect. I have never stayed anywhere where the beds are so comfortable everyone loved them. I would have liked to have packed them up and took them home. We would recommend your home to anyone looking for a Quit beautiful place to stay 5 star all the way.From all of us Thank You!!!!The Camps 5/22 to 5/26/2023

4 generations, ages ranging from 4 yo to 89. This place was perfect! Just walking in the house and going straight out to that incredible deck. Loved watching the waves, exploring the tidal pools, flying kites, grilling on the deck, chilling on the deck. This was our first visit but we’re already planning another ❤️

Beautiful home with the most wonderful view. This is the perfect place to make memories with your family. The managers are very helpful and responsive . This has become one of our families favorite vacation homes.

Very nice home, lots of room for family and right on the beach. Parking is a challenge, four cars are only possible if they are all compacts. One spot is extremely narrow, and the "extra" parking that is available a block away at the public access point.
