Outstanding accomodations on the Oregon coast

We truly enjoyed this place. It's spacious, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished, and the location is ideal. The host went out of her way to make our stay comfortable, even warming the house before we arrived. My family and I hope to return in 2024.

Great house/location

The house is adorable! Well cared for, very clean. Some new renovations throughout. We loved our stay and were very happy with the house and the location. Gearhart is an adorable, quaint town with a charming little bakery and even a McMenamins! The house is walking distance to the beach. We drove to Cannon Beach for the day on one of the days and went to see the Peter Iredale shipwreck another day. It was a great trip!

Perfect spot!

Everything about this place is perfect. The home itself is great, newly updated and beautifully decorated. Beds are comfortable and the bedding is great, too. Gearhart is a sleepy little town but close to all the things we wanted to do and see. You can go a mile down the road have access to all kinds of restaurants and shopping but we preferred the non-touristy vibe of Gearhart. The walk to the beach is gorgeous. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I even looked up a couple properties that were for-sale, that's how much I love the area.

Super Cute & Near Beach

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. It was a 10-15 minute walk from the beach, through dune grass. Very pretty walk. Close to shops, as well. Good Times 🙃 is a nice new addition to the neighborhood. Owners communicated well and house had everything we needed. Thanks!

Family Friendly Stay in Gearhart

We had a perfect stay at this home in Gearhert! We had 5 adults and 1 child and we all stayed comfortably! This home had everything and lots of extra! We loved the play space and toys for the kiddos! We enjoyed the outdoor firpit on the patio! Only a few blocks from the Gearhart store and bakery for a yummy morning breakfast. The owner was quick to respond and easy to work with! We would stay again!

Our Vrbo stay in Gearhart

The property was very inviting, well maintained, clean and very well equipped. The owners were most responsive to communications. The yard is lovely and large enough to accommodate guests' pets. The one drawback is if you bring pets, be aware the yard is not fenced. The neighborhood is quiet and quite pleasant. I would not hesitate to book this property again in the future.

Great Place!

We just returned from a stay at the Gearhart Property. We had 2 couples and 3 kids under the age of 5. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kids had plenty of room to play. The house is very kid friendly with no stairs, outlet covers and a sunken family room for TV/Movie Watching and playing. Plenty of things to do in Seaside rain or shine and it is about a 5 minute drive. The beach is less than a 10 minute walk to the house and great for the kids to run around. The beach was not too crowded and we had a great time overall.

Disappointed

After reading reviews, I thought this would be super clean. We were disappointed in the cleanliness department. There was also deferred maintenance. Other than that it was a comfortable set up. Very pretty yard.

Nice place, Quiet Neighborhood

Over all this place has a really nice layout, is cute, and is in a great neighborhood fairly close to the beach. There are a few things that could easily make it more comfortable. The dishwasher worked, but was very loud. It would help the ambiance to have a quieter one. The double bed sags in the middle. My daughter dubbed it the “taco bed”. The Queen bed is very comfortable. The toilet in the main bathroom runs unless the toilet handle is manually pulled up. The lock on the slider of the master bath doesn’t latch. Having garbage bags for the kitchen should be essential, and ziplocks for leftovers would be a nice touch. Otherwise the kitchen is very well stocked with anything one could need. We enjoyed the fireplace and the books very much, and had a fantastic time. Thanks so much!

Great place for a girls weekend

Nice, clean and recently renovated cute cottage in Gearhart, near some cute shops, a cafe and the Gearhart Golf Club and restaurant. Comfortable master king bed and large modern walk in shower was nice. We had a girls weekend for three 60+ aged gals and it was very comfortable for the three of us, plus a small dog. Appreciated the rambler one floor living. Saw a heard of elk at night walking around the neighborhood! About 20-25 minute drive to Cannon Beach where we hung out most of the time. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks!

Very comfortable, clean and cozy home!!! Loved it!

My family stayed at this house for two nights. It was a really welcoming house. It was very clean, very nicely decorated and had good appliances and comfortable beds. We have high standards when it comes to cleanliness and we found the house very clean and welcoming. The yard is very nice and warm too. We absolutely loved the house. The owner (Tara) sent a welcome email in the morning and was very prompt in responding to my questions. The house is close to the ocean and basic stores and cafe. We look forward to renting this place again when we visit Astoria / Gearhart in the future. Thanks, Tara!

About the host

Hosted by Tara Fullerton

Host profile image
What a strike of luck to discover Gearhart! My husband and I have enjoyed our Gearhart house since 2004. It provides a wonderful quiet escape from our busy lives in Portland with three young children. The house continues to be a fun project to update and modernize. We hope to host you soon!

Why they chose this property

We love the charm of Gearhart. It's an easy drive from Portland and is conveniently located to all the beautiful north coast towns of Seaside, Astoria, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, and more. Gearhart itself is quiet and family friendly. The beach is serene and peaceful. The community is friendly and warm. Great memories are made here.

What makes this property unique

This one level house is centrally located to town. We love walking for coffee, ice cream, yummy pastries, and even dining out. There are lots of activities nearby such as golf, tennis, basketball court, playground. Once in awhile, you catch a glimpse of wildlife (elk, bald eagles) around the area. The peaceful beach is a short couple blocks away.
