Cannon Beach & Beachcomber Vacation Homes FAQs
How do I book a home?
You can either make a booking directly on this website by using the "Search Rentals" box to the left. Or you can call our office at 503.436.4500 and a receptionist will be glad to help you.
Is booking online secure?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you book a reservation. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers' database. It will only be accessible by those authorized with special rights to such systems. They are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.
Can I bring my pet with me?
We offer several pet-friendly homes. To see if the home you're interested in allows pets, you can click on the "Vacation Rentals" tab above and find the property listing, or you can call us at 503.436.4500 and talk to one of our receptionists. We can help you determine if the home you're interested in is pet-friendly, or help you find the perfect fit for you and your pet.
What are the benefits of a vacation home rental?
Our vacation homes are stocked in such a way that you always feel like you are coming "home" to your vacation home, rather than returning to a small hotel room. Almost all of our homes have full kitchens and BBQ grills, and some homes offer game rooms or a hot tub. You will be able to enjoy a full-service home while you are on vacation.
Should I purchase travel insurance? What does travel insurance cover?
Purchasing travel insurance is recommended. We offer travel insurance through a third party provider, Rental Guardian. For more information on travel insurance through Rental Guardian go to beachcombervaca.rentalguardian.com/
What is provided for guest use in each home? Do we need to bring linens/towels, toilet paper, etc?
We provide sheets, pillows, blankets, towels, kitchen towels, tissue, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, and laundry soap for guest use. Every home is equipped for our guests to simply walk in and make themselves at home. The only items you will need to bring are clothing and any personal toiletries (toothbrush/paste, shampoo). Please bring your own beach towels as the towels in the home are not meant to be taken to the beach.
Will we need to clean the house before we leave?
Beachcomber Vacation Homes is responsible for all cleaning. The only things we ask our guests to do before they leave are to take out the garbage/recycling and to please load and start the dishwasher. There is no need to wait and put the dishes away once they're clean. Please do not strip the beds or start any laundry before you leave.
Items left behind?
If you leave something behind, don't worry! Give us a call right away so that we can find what you missed. If we find it, we can mail it back to you, with the shipping charges dependent upon the size and weight of the package.
Do you have Highchairs and Pack 'n Plays available?
We do! However we only have a limited number on hand, so please call us as soon as you make your reservation so we can provide you with everything you need for your little one(s).
What extra steps are you taking for cleaning?
The most important part of cleaning is keeping our guests and employees as safe as we possibly can. We've checked with the CDC and Oregon for guidelines for cleaning as well as the Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professional organization. We use an approved disinfectant between guests and air out the homes while they are being cleaned to protect our staff and the next guest. This is a summary of our procedures:
1. The housekeepers come in and spray disinfectant and wait 10 minutes so that the disinfectant has a chance to work.
2. The housekeepers then start the regular cleaning while getting all the "touchpoints" ( door knobs, remotes, faucets, handles - anything that is touched frequently)
3. At the end of the cleaning one more round of disinfectant is used.
4. After the housekeepers have left, the house checker arrives to double-check the cleaning and make sure that all the touch points were cleaned - double cleaning never hurts! and when they are leaving the third round of disinfectant is used so that the last thing done is disinfecting before the next guest arrives.
