Gearhart Getaway-Your Perfect Coastal Escape: Cozy, Character-Filled Beach House

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.

Lovely, cozy beach get away

This home is cozy and charming, with plenty of room for all your guests to sleep comfortably, relax by the wood burning fireplace or play games/share a meal at the large dining table. Large kitchen with everything you would need for cooking meals. The host was just amazing and very responsive. The location can't be beat as it's within easy walking distance to the beach as well as the quaint village with shops and small grocery. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing weekend

The Gearhart Beach house was a lovely place to stay. Beautiful neighborhood, a nice walk to the sand, a well-stocked house, and elk! The owners were very responsive when we had a question and the house was very comfortable just to lounge around in front of the fire. Cute town with an amazing bakery. Good house for a girls weekend.

Gearhart family vacation

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.

Always a Pleasure

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!

Beautiful Home

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!

Mid-October Oregon Coast 2022

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. Terry, November 2022

Another wonderful summer vacation at Gearhart

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.

Delightful beach house vacation in Gearhart

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!

Great beach home

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.

Great beach house

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.

Super clean ! Spacious and great location

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 .

Great house, and great location

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.

About the host

Hosted by CR

Host profile image
We are a family with children who love the ocean and beach throughout the year and love the quaint character of Gearhart.

Why they chose this property

There is no city on the coast like Gearhart - it has a feel of Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, or Sag Harbor, with the Oregon stamp of authenticity.

What makes this property unique

The location and proximity to the beach, to great shopping and activities with a sense of privacy and the classic beach house environment, makes for a memorable vacation.
