About this cottage rental
Salt Water Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Visit the Oregon Coast in style with a stay in this classic cottage with easy beach access. Also boasting a sauna in the main bedroom suite, this getaway is sure to please your whole group. You'll love this fantastic location, with the beach, boardwalk, and rolling sand dunes at the end of 7th Street. You're also within walking distance of Gearhart Golf Links and a few miles from more attractions in Seaside.
Classic beach style is evident throughout this home, with colorful rugs and a comfortable aesthetic. After a day of golfing or beachcombing, relax in the living room. There's a cable TV with a DVD/VCR player, as well as a stereo and WiFi. Or, you may prefer to curl up in front of the fire with a family board game or a book from the library.
The full kitchen is light and bright with all the major appliances you'd expect, as well as a coffee grinder, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and blender. Off the kitchen is the laundry room, which includes a shower and set-tub, in addition to the washer/dryer. A garden hose for rinsing off sandy feet is located outside the kitchen door. The dining table is perfect for fun vacation meals.
The lower main level also has a full bathroom with a claw-foot tub. One room has a half bath. Both rooms are wonderfully decorated with colorful bedding, bedside tables, reading lights, and more of that classic beadboard paneling. The remaining two bedrooms are upstairs, including a spacious main suite with a sitting area and a full bathroom with a shower and a sauna. The upstairs guest room has a window seat where you can read in sunlight. Kid-friendly extras include a Pack 'n Play, baby gates, and a children's bike.
Outside, there's a great deck for cocktails, quiet reading, or socializing. You'll have a gas grill for casual dining and can relax on the deck while watching everyone play. Or you can spend the afternoon exploring Gearhart's quiet residential streets and strolling the uncrowded beach. Your stand-up paddleboards and kayaks will stay secure in the garage before you head to the beach!
The path to the sand begins very near the house at the end of 7th Street. Other walkable attractions include a McMenamins pub, the well-loved Pacific Way Cafe and Bakery, and a neighborhood grocery store. This sleepy coastal town offers peace and quiet and a long, sandy stretch of beach. Spend the afternoon looking for sand dollars washed up on the shore, then return to your charming beach cottage for an evening in front of the fire. A section of Gearhart's beach, accessible from 10th Street, even allows driving on the sand. If you have a hardy vehicle with four-wheel drive, give it a try!

Location is great! Quieter neighborhood, lots of room and lots of little extras ( beach towels, lots of games, books and colouring books for the kids, the sauna was great, …). Only down side was the cleanliness of the place, we had to spend our first day cleaning. We contacted them right away and the offered the next day.

We had a great stay. It was perfect for the 5 of us, my husband said we should have invited more people. The sauna was a nice way to relax. And it's a short walk to the beach.

This was our first stay at this property.
We were impressed and thrilled with this wonderful beach house. It had a well-supplied kitchen and the knives were sharp, which is a first in our renting experience. It was very clean, well-supplied and plenty of kitchen towels, beach towels, bath towels; privacy, quiet and easy access to the beach. The only issue was it is not completely fenced and we had to keep an eye on our dog. We will be booking this again.

Great place, great location and a great customer experience
This is a great little beach house that has the quintessential coastal feel. It sits close to the beach for easy walking access or vehicular access nearby. We had booked through a popular online booking website which had left out some critical details regarding our stay. I thought this may have been a deal breaker for our much needed family beach weekend, but Vacasa addressed our concerns immediately, going above and beyond to make things work out for us. This is a great place to take a family. The sauna was amazing, but it is going to hurt the pocket book since my wife wants one in our house now. Thank you Salt Water Cottage and thank you Vacasa!

Salt Water Cottage
We thought the house was charming. Wished that the master had a king which was in the description when we booked it in October. The BBQ should have been on the deck and the wood box filled for the fireplace. Little things like that make a big difference! The walk to the beach was wonderful despite the hoarders hovel across the street. We all had a fabulous time and will be back to our beloved Gearhart again. This was our 15th vacation here!

Vintage Gearhart Cottage
This was our first time using Vacasa and we were very pleased with how easy our stay in Gearhart was from start to finish. The Salt Water Cottage was quaint and cozy and perfect for our children and grandchildren. My grandson liked taking his bath in the claw foot tub. Nice deck and backyard. Comfy beds. Good selection of books and games. And best of all, the path to the beach! We would stay there again.

Great location!
Our family stayed for 3 nights for a vacation in August. The house has plenty of room and is very cozy and quaint. The house is fully stocked and well appointed. The real highlight of this house is the proximity to the beach. We went to the beach several times a day and walked to the restaurant for dinner. Great family vacation!

Wonderful Cottage
This cottage in Gearhart was very quaint and offered everything we needed for a lovely stay. The proximity to the beach was perfect and the backyard offered a wonderful place to relax. The place was clean and everything was ready for us when we arrived. We would definitely consider staying here again if our future travels take us back to Gearhart.

Adorable cottage in a wonderful location!
The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. We loved having the option to walk down the street to the secluded beach instead of braving the busier (but still very close) Canon Beach and Seaside. The house is well-appointed and super comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful fireplace and sauna on the cooler nights too!

Annual Sister Trip
The house was comfortable and relaxing for me and my four sisters who get together at least once a year. We travel from all over the country for our special trips and the Salt Water Cottage was great! We are all 60+ so the staircase to the upstairs was tricky at times but we managed. Lots of room in the bedrooms and with 5 ladies the multiple bathrooms came in handy. Thanks for opening up this lovely home so close to lots of fun on the Oregon Coast.

Birthday Getaway
The process of renting the property was good. The home is very comfortable with a great location. A big bonus is the sauna! I do feel a few paint touch ups here and there would help and carpet replacement in the upstairs hallway. We will definitely come back and have already recommended it to friends. One thing, the fact that wood for the fireplace is not included should be mentioned under the description.

Beautiful home
This house was in the perfect location and was accurately described in the listing. Especially loved the sauna to warm up after some beach time. Would definitely recommend.

Great simple spot
Really enjoyed our stay in a great location. Would love to see the beds and carpeting refreshed, but for the price it is a tremendous value and our kids had a blast

COVID REUNION
We had not seen our daughter for more than six months and so planned a week at the beach to spend some time together. This was to be the perfect location for getting together. Indeed, the location was as advertised; a short and pretty walk to the beach. The house, almost 100 years old, was clean and neat and worked just fine for us. It was not, however, as attractive as the online photos promised. Nevertheless, it was functional, and the deck and enclosed yard were perfect for the dog, afternoon reading and a dinner BBQ. All in all, it worked just fine.

Outstanding location, classic beach cottage
We really enjoyed our stay here, very short walk to the beach, a classic beach cottage that is well maintained.

Great Find in Gearhart!
We booked this cottage for our Portland to Coast team of 8. It worked out perfectly for us. It has 2 showers, 2 1/2 bathrooms and beds to sleep 8. They had an abundance of bath towels stocked in each bathroom which was much appreciated. This house is located on a side street with a very short walk to There's a deck in the back along with a very nice barbecue and adequate seating for all of us which was perfect for our celebration dinner after the race. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the stairs going to the upstairs bedrooms are VERY steep. Just make sure you hold on to the railing.

Beach House
