Local coffee shops, ice cream, restaurants, cocktails all within walking distance of the home.
We had a wonderful 3 day weekend - framily wedding in Astoria, precious time with two little grandsons, two wonderful daughters & a dear son-in-law at the beach! The beds & downstairs shower were great!
We loved the access to a quiet area of the beach. House was great, beds are good. Cleaning could have been a bit better - there were some dusty areas and cobwebs. House is small which worked well for us with five people, but more would be pretty tight. It was great there were chairs and toys for the beach we could use.
Older home but nice. Really appreciated the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. I am a senior citizen and had my family with me. Couldnât figure out how to turn the tv on.
We were pleasantly surprised by this cozy cottage. It has been very lovingly renovated and was very comfortable for our weekend stay. Quick walk to the beach and the pastry shop! Great fenced yard front and back!
Excellent experience. Quiet, private place with fenced yard for my dog to roam safely. Close proximity to large, less populated beach. Easy, no hassle check in and comfortable rooms and beds/bedding and fluffy towels. Love the operable window in the shower - bonus!
Comfortable and convenient beach house in quiet Gearhart. Cozy house with everything we needed for a great week at the coast. Host was responsive. Check in/check out was easy. Beds were comfortable. Living space is small and cozy but worked great for 5 adults. Large backyard with a great bbq. Only a few blocks from trail access to the beach or from the shops in Gearhart. Truly enjoyed our stay
Older home; alot of upgrades in this home. Comfortable beds! Huge backyard. A few cobwebs, could use a more thorough cleaning before guests. Had a few hiccups but all turned out well.
We had a great time at this home. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach. Very clean, comfortable rustic home. There were 5 adults in our group with plenty of room for all of us. The back yard was really nice and private. We drank coffee in the morning on the deck and barbecued in the evening. Within walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. We recommend this property and would return to this home in the future.
The overall impression of the property was quite cozy. PROS: Large bedrooms with comfortable beds, located in a quaint, beachy neighborhood, pet friendly, minutes walk to the beach, local cafe, market and McMenamin's restaurant. CONS: Aside from some access dust and a loose towel bar, the only criticism I have is the communication from the VRBO owner Kevin was so-so. My first message regarding a change of check out day went completely unanswered. An unknown vehicle was parked in the driveway upon our arrival. While owner Kevin did confirm no one was staying in the studio next to the cottage, the truck's owner or reason for being there were not divulged. The dishwasher appeared to have leaked upon last use and was not operational during our stay. Owner Kevin was notified by message and voicemail, but again no recognition and/or response was received. I do recognize the messages were sent over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, however some form of acknowledgement would have been appreciated greatly.
I liked the layout of the house and all the amenities they offer along with house items.
However, I did not like the excessive decor. Bringing our one year olds was a difficult for us to keep everything in tact. But even without children I felt like just walking could drop a vase or so. It was a bit too much.
The kitchen items were awesome to have it was just little too tight to maneuver around.
The place does need an update on the flooring and window curtains. It does have a musty smell with ton of dust.
The area and neighborhood was perfect and located two blocks off the beach so that was nice.
We did however spend a lot of our time on checkout day washing sheets and blankets. I think having tenants do that part shouldnât be part of the checkout. Or at least specify which sheet or which bedding parts need washed. (If it were my rental I wouldnât let the tenants wash them because who really knows if they washed it for real)
Above all we would give the house a 3.5 star.
Very cozy and comfortable home in a nice neighborhood. Everything we needed was included at the house. Great location in the Seaside/Gearhart area. Walking distance to the beach. Short drive to stores and restaurants. We enjoyed our visit.
The accuracy of the images and description was good. I was familiar with this area because I go to the Gearhart beaches often so I know this is a safe/good neighborhood out of the busy Seaside area, yet only a 5min drive away. We were in town for work for 3 days and this house suited my team well. We spent 90% of our time away from the home but found it to be a safe, quiet landing pad after a long day.
A nice location on the south side of Gearhart. A short walk to the beach or into town. Off street parking was suitable for our two vehicles. We liked the coziness inside and the large fenced backyard for our dogs to play. Didn't have a chance to build a fire but appreciated the look of the river rock hearth.
Will definitely look to stay here again next year.
The kitchen is small so if cooking is your thing it might not be the best choice. The property is in a lovely quiet neighborhood, nice walk to the beach and easy drive to everywhere. Centrally located but nice and quiet when you come back. Cute little house, very quaint. There was no extra paper products, toilet paper, paper towels etc. Also no soap or shampoo, only one dishwasher pod and two laundry pods which you need to wash the sheets when you leave so it's not we'll supplied in that respect. Bedrooms and bathrooms were great and the living room and dining room have plenty of seating. I would definitely go back again. Perfect location, close to many of the other seaside towns.
