About this house rental
Welcome to our classic and beautiful beach house where you’ll immediately feel right at home. Thoughtfully designed and full of character, this cozy yet spacious retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort, style, and convenience. Located just steps from the tranquil Gearhart Dunes and beach, with views of the Pacific Ocean, it’s the kind of place you can truly relax and make your own.
With a generous, open floor plan, plenty of bedrooms, and thoughtful touches throughout, this home is made for gathering and making memories. The large picture windows flood the house with light, highlighting the classic beadboard walls and adding to the cheerful, beachy vibe. Each room has its own charm, with ample storage and everything you need to feel settled and at ease.
After a day of exploring the beach or nearby trails, unwind on the deck or in the large backyard, where you can enjoy the ocean breeze while grilling up a feast or simply relaxing with friends and family. Inside, the cozy living room features a river rock wood-burning fireplace—perfect for those cooler nights when you want to kick back and enjoy a quiet evening. For the ultimate in relaxation, soak in the clawfoot tub or spend some time in the den, whether you’re playing cards, putting together a puzzle, or just enjoying each other's company.
The kitchen is a real highlight, thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to cook, whether you're whipping up a quick meal or hosting a dinner with friends. And yes, you’ll stay connected with WiFi and cable, making it easy to share moments from your getaway or catch up on a little work (if you must!).
This historic beach house, nestled on 'Martini Hill', is ideally located for those who want to enjoy the best of Gearhart. A quick five-minute walk gets you to the renowned Pacific Way Bakery, Sweet Shop, and charming local shops. Even closer are tennis and basketball courts, the iconic Gearhart Golf Course, and McMenamins' Sand Trap Restaurant. For more adventure, Seaside is just five minutes away, and Cannon Beach and historic Astoria are both just a short 15-minute drive.
This is the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy the best of the Oregon Coast. Whether you’re here for a friends' getaway, a family vacation, or just a peaceful retreat, you’ll find that this beach house offers everything you need to feel at home.

The house is very suitable for family gathering. However, it wasn't as close to the beach as described. The bathtub in the master is a clawfoot tub and surrounded by a plastic shower curtain that has mold on the bottom of it. It advertised taking a bath in the tub, but the tub was very old and the curtain was not able to be moved easily. The shower in the extra bath upstairs worked fine, but slightly disappointed with the master shower. Overall a great place to stay - just not as easy of access to the beach as we had hoped and is much farther than the pictures show.

We enjoyed this property so much for our family reunion weekend. Plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 kids. House was clean, well equipped, and communication was great. Gearhart is a lovely little town. Would definitely stay again!

We've stayed at this residence before and, it was because of those stays we chose this property to host our family; we knew they would enjoy it as much as we have. They were very happy with the neighborhood, the proximity to the ocean, the nearby amenities (Pacific Way Bakery - a must) and most importantly, the comfort of the house and the way it's stocked to entertain. You can't go wrong staying here, comfort all of the way!

This home is spacious and beautiful. Many windows and tastefully decorated. The location is perfect as it is right on the path to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had grandparents, parents, big & little kids and everyone had a great time. The house is well stocked with everything we could possibly need.
The shower is large and allows for a parent to easily clean the little kids! A perfect vacation spot!

Wonderful two-story home - four bedrooms & three baths. Very large kitchen and a wonderful great room with separate space for tv viewing; a dining room table that easily seats eight; and a separate seating area adjacent to the fireplace - a wonderful space for group conversation or completing a puzzle. Our second time here - grandparents plus family of five. Communication with owner was excellent. A short walk to McMenamins Restaurant. A short drive to Astoria, Seaside or Cannon Beach. Several golf courses nearby.

This house feels like home now, after 4 years visiting. Very close to the beach, and good for beach walks, as well as neighborhood walks. Very comfy gathering spaces, functional kitchen. Thanks for the new bunk beds! Nice backyard porch for outdoor meals, and good BBQ.

Our family found this house in Gearhart to be perfect for our week long vacation. It was spotless, was supplied with every single thing we needed (thanks for the beach towels, sand toys and chairs), and had tons of space, both inside and out. The back deck and private yard provided a quiet space to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Best of all was the easy access to Gearhart's incredible beach - so different from the crowds in the more touristy towns. The water was really cold, but the little ones didn't care and we spent hours down there. And to add to the fun, we watched a herd of elk munching on the beach grass as we walked down the path! Christine answered my questions immediately and was a joy to work with. I hope we can come back!

It is a beautifully kept up original classic cottage looking home. Great location, nice quiet area off the busy tourist Seaside area. Beautiful beaches. A short walking down a grassy path to the beach. The owner keep everything really clean, and we’ll stocked. Easy to get a hold of if you have any issues. Would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Gearheart is a great little town and the house is biking/walking distance to a few coffee shops and restaurants. The beach was a little farther walk than expected but also isn’t as crowded as some of the other nearby. It’s a quiet area which we appreciated but not far from some of the action of Seaside when we wanted it.

We were extremely happy with the cleanliness and the spaciousness of the rooms. The living space was huge! The kitchen was very well equipped. The neighbourhood was very well kept and even had pickleball courts close by. We liked the panoramic beach views after the trek through the tall grass. Super convenient location to Cannon Beach and Seaside .

This is a really nice older house with a lot of charm. The location is perfect, walking distance to the tennis courts and the beach. Our stay Monday to Friday, unfortunately the little bakery and the restaurant Gearhart were close, so we had to go to Seaside and Cannon beach to eat. We had a group of 7 people and we had plenty of room. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We 5 over-60 lady cousins stayed 5 days in this wonderful spacious Geathart house over a long Memorial Day weekend. Everything was fantastic with the 4 bedrooms upstairs with 2 bathrooms & the other bathroom downstairs. The communication with the owner was fabulous-so nice. The living room & diningroom were huge with plenty of seating but we mostly enjoyed the family room off the kitchen. Everything was included, we just brought groceries & wine. Some of us walked down to the beach in the morning & then again for the sunset, just beautiful. We always felt safe in the house. Thank you for allowing us to rent your beach house, the whole trip was fantastic!!

Just beautiful home and so comfortable. We enjoyed all the benefits of a 100 year old home and the uniqueness it provides. The fenced in yard was helpful with little ones. So enjoyable.

1.5 / 5.0
This home is located just a short walk from the beach which is great. It has 2 living areas and a nice large dining room which our family enjoyed. However, we felt the photos of the property were deceiving. The largest bedroom is in the photos twice, with different linens which made it appear as though there were two master/large bedrooms. Yes, I should have read the description more carefully but all of the adults in my family felt the same way-very surprised to find there was only one large bedroom/master. The house is quite old which is not a problem but it was not very clean at all. I scoured the kitchen sink when I arrived because it was gross. There was hair in the drain of the shower that had obviously not been cleaned. The kitchen garbage can was disgusting and the dishwasher stopped working completely during our stay. The beds in three out of four of the rooms were clearly the cheapest possible mattresses (the bottom bunk was comprised of two thin, worn out mattresses on top of each other). None of these things in and of themselves would be a deal breaker but all together they were really annoying. Especially for the price. We loved the beach and would definitely go back to Gearhart again but won't be renting this house again in the future.

We were VERY pleased at the level of cleanliness in this house! Also the open floor plan was perfect for our little children to run and play freely on the main floor. Nice open kitchen for preparing food and nice big dining table for sit down dinners family style! The bedrooms were nice size, walk in shower made it easy for my elderly mother to be bathed and the stairs were not too steep allowing her to manage them with help. House instructions were Lear and concise.
All in all we were satisfied with this rental!

We were 2 families who stayed at this property. It was nice, clean even though old. The yard, living room was great. Also short access to the beach. The master bedroom was nice, the other bedrooms small (though expected). We couldn't access garage but we didn't bother calling. Overall a nice getaway. Thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were impressed by the communication and information provided. We loved the quietness of the neighborhood and that we could walk out to the beach in 5 minutes or less. Great space, lots of games to play, choose to Seaside and other coast towns.
2.5 / 5.0
This is a nice little spot, close to more popular destinations, but without any crowds. The beach feels semi-private, far enough away from Seaside to find solitude, but close enough to jog to. Add to that the nice home in a neighborhood with a distinct New England maritime feel, and you have a great spot to spend some quiet time away and relax.

The house was perfect for our group. We had two families. 4 adults and 4 kids. Great location, It was so close to the beach and walking distance to some shops. Would stay there again.

Awesome home a block from the beach, 5 blocks from McMenamins and Gearhart Golf Links. 5 min walk to the beach! Found lots of sand dollars Saturday Night. Place is great and loved the fireplace especially when the power went out for a little bit! Definitely would stay here again

Great 1910 beach house in Gearhart. Well equipped, clean, great location. The reasons for 4 stars are not enough lighting in the dining room to eat or play games. Also, there was no place to put our food, except the frig. Every cupboard and drawer was full. Other than those two things it was a great house!

The location is wonderful, close to the beach through beautiful dunes. The house is well appointed and charming, exactly as advertised.

A fabulous long weekend in the beach house was exactly what the doctor ordered. Cozy and comfy and close to the beach. The soothing sound of the sea made the stay extra special. We spent hours at the dining table playing cards and telling stories! The house had everything we needed to make great meals and carrot cake cookies! Can’t wait to go back!

We had a really nice relaxing week in Gearhart. Our nights sleeping with the sound of the waves in the distance and the cool summer breeze. The wonderful old house style doorknobs that reminded me of my childhood and the fact that there was room for everyone- the bedrooms, the living space, the beach and the yard. The little town beckoned on the odd time we wanted to "do something else.... the little shops and the bowling alley/pizza restaurant were spectacular! Thank you, thank you so much for offering your beautiful house close to the beach, so we didn't have to even think about going to Seaside's hustle and bustle.... We absolutely loved our stay and we will return again some day if at all possible!

We’ve been coming here every year with our family and it’s great every time. Clean, spacious, and the host is always flexible on arrival and departure. It’s the perfect place for our family vacation at the beach.

We had a great time at this property. Just a couple of comments: The beach is further away from house than we expected. We had a 5 year grandson with us that has a heart condition and we had to carry him on the way back up the trail each time. Could not find wash cloths; however, did see wash scrunchies in the bathrooms, we assumed they were replaced after each guest. The house was well stocked. The only thing we could not find was corn cob holders. I would definitely stay at the property again! My grandkids had a great time, lots of room for everyone.
