The house was very clean and had a nice fenced back yard for my dog. It is about 6 blocks from access to the beach that you can drive on. You can go from there to Fort Stevens about 10 miles. My dog loves playing fetch on the beach I could always find a private spot. The kitchen has all the usual stuff needed although apartment size. The bedroom is a little as there is a sink and stacked washer and dryer next to the bed. The TV has lots of different stuff on it a fire stick and another streaming thing. The one problem I had was getting in the door. It has Schlegg deadbolt lock. I stayed in another house with same lock last October. It has a 10 digit code and I never got it to work. I called and as the person was giving me the code for a key lock box I found that is was not locked and the key was there. I used that for the rest of my stay.
Overall this home was a good place to stay for a few days. It was stocked with lots of towels, extra bedding, and a fully functioning kitchen. The bed was comfy, it had a great deck, it was a quiet and pretty neighborhood, and included a washer and dryer.
However, the only heat source is a gas fireplace. At night, the bedroom was pretty cold, so we had to leave the door open so some heat would reach us. No sleeping in, as the sunlight from the kitchen windows shone directly into the bedroom each morning. The bathroom has a wall heater, so that helped it stay warm. This was our only complaintâand we made it work.
So, overall we enjoyed our stay here and would stay there again.
Gas wood stove kept running until we figured out to change batteries, but had to take batteries from TV remote. Finally the stove turned off. Local Vacasa person dropped off fresh batteries. You should have batteries on-site. Dryer vent at back of cottage clogged with lint - a serious fire hazard. Switches in breaker box should be labeled. But we had a great stay!
Nice quiet neighborhood within walking distance of beach. Could see a bit of golf course. Fenced yard was great for our dog. Had all the basics, nice towels. Couch comfy and tv is nice. Could use a bit of refreshing and up dating inside but sufficient for our short stay.
Quiet neighborhood, view of the golf course, easy walk to the beach and tiny little 'downtown' Gearhart. A warm, dry weekend made it possible to spend a lot of time sitting on the deck with our books, enjoying the lovely surroundings. However, we weren't able to use the BBQ that was on the deck. Not sure if it was out of propane or another problem. Again, no written instructions for use.
The house was just the right size for the two of us. Enough space for a couple or a family of 4 with very young children. Even with the sofa bed it would be tight quarters for four adults. Only one very small bathroom.
Would like to come back for a couple of days in winter but not sure the little electric fireplace would keep the main room warm enough.

This delightful house offers a perfect escape from the city. Tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, it's still just a short drive away from Seaside's downtown. The tranquil environment creates a relaxing haven for lazy days. Board game enthusiasts will find a variety of options available. Curl up with a good book or enjoy a movie night - the house is great for both. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking a delicious meal. All you'll need to pack are your clothes and your favorite things to unwind with.
Quick walk to the beach (or drive if the weather is not great), a quick walk to a lovely bakery, and a short drive to Seaside/Cannon Beach or Fort Stevens. The property is perfect for a couple people, the backyard was great for our dog to run around in. I will definitely stay here again in the future the next time we plan a coast visit.
My husband and I, along with our yellow lab Lottie, had a wonderful three day stay. The view to the golf course was a treat and the two block walk to the beach provided sunsets, lovely views and peaceful paths to walk our dog. Going two blocks the other way, we were able to access the fabulous Gearhart Ridge path. The home was cozy and kitchen has wonderful natural light from two large skylights. We have no complaints and we certainly will be back again.
The home itself was nice, clean and cozy. As advertised. Problem arose when attempted to use TV and found no instructions for the multiple devices. Tried and failed on our own. Phone calls to VACASA were pleasantly received, but no follow-up on our request to have someone tell/show us how to operate the multimedia devices. After repeated calls over several days and promises that we would hear from someone, no one followed up with us. We were there four nights without the use of the TV, which we had counted on. But primarily, very disappointed with the lack of follow through or contact by any local host. We have used VRBO in the past and never run into this problem, but will likely not use this agency again. Not sure of the relationship between VRBO and VACASA, perhaps that was the problem.
