Relaxing Beach Vibes on Quiet Ridge w/ Fireplace and Private Deck, Walk to Beach and Close to Golf

Welcome to Gin Ridge Cottage, a charming historic retreat perched on a peaceful ridge with peekaboo ocean views and timeless coastal character. Designated as a historic landmark, this special home blends its original vintage charm with the modern comforts you need for a relaxing getaway.

Step out onto the private deck to soak up the sun in summer or keep an eye out for migrating whales in the winter months. Fire up the grill, enjoy meals at the picnic table, and watch the breathtaking Oregon Coast sunsets melt into the horizon. The cozy front porch, complete with two daybeds, is the perfect nook for sipping your morning coffee or curling up with a good book.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming living space featuring a wood-burning fireplace, ideal for cozy evenings after a day at the beach, plus a TV for movie nights. The inviting kitchen comes fully equipped with all the essentials to prepare delicious home-cooked meals.

Additional comforts include complimentary WiFi, a washer and dryer, and provided firewood to keep the fireplace glowing. And best of all, you’re just a short walk to the beach, making Gin Ridge Cottage the perfect base for your coastal escape.

Great Gearhart Trip!

Our group ranges from 8-80 and we couldn’t have had a better setup. Despite some rainy windy weather we’d rate our stay a 10. Plenty of room to curl up with a book, play games or watch sports on tv. Great amenities for cooking and sharing a meal around the family size dining table. And when the sun came out a spacious deck for more fun and food.

Cozy, homey and close to the beach!

My family loved our visit and we have frequented this cozy beach house many times. It is charming and homey with the wood-burning fireplace and picturesque views just 1 block from the beach. The claw foot soaking tub is a treat at the end of the day. The kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans and utensils to cook whatever meals you want. We will return again in the near future!

Cute beach cottage!

Our family had an amazing stay here. Our second year in a row at this house and it didn’t disappoint! Super cute cottage feel, but also so clean and great views! The house also has a lot of stocked items (especially in the kitchen). Will definitely stay here again next summer!

Charming Home

My family and I really enjoyed the home. We cooked most of our meals in and enjoyed the barbeque. We had plenty of space for everyone and the location was perfect! A short walk to the beach and a short walk to the cute village. We also were able to walk to the golf course & Sand Trap for an adventure with the kids. The decor of the cottage was adorable, it was functional but still stayed true to the historic home.

Sweet and Charming home!

So glad to have found a place that had enough beds for 6 adults! The home is somewhat rustic, but clean and quaint. The cleaning crew was still on site when we arrived but they were so friendly and were gone by the time we returned from dinner.

Great time!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful Gearhart home. The house provided plenty of space for individual quiet time as well as for group time in the living and dining areas. The kitchen was equipped with any pot or utensil a cook might need, and the beds were very comfortable. We all rated it five star and hope to come back for another stay in the future. (Having tennis/pickleball/basketball courts nearby was an additional benefit for the grandkids.)

Out of a Nancy Meyers movie

Gearhart is a beautiful and quiet town. Celebrating our mothers 70th birthday required something special, something completely her — Gin Ridge was the answer. Tastefully decorated but with so much character. The photos don’t do it justice. Comfortable beds, classic, beautiful, unstuffy decor, a well appointed kitchen and a beautiful deck with the nicest peekaboo view I could imagine. On a nice day, lunch at the mcmennamins was totally walking distance along the beach. A 1910 home can be expected to have don’t issues. There was one clogged toilet, but with three bathrooms - it didn’t actually cause a huge issue to just use the other two and not overload the downstairs toilet. I think we just flushed it too many times in a row since it was the downstairs toilet folks used while hanging out. I wonder if a “if it’s yellow, let it mellow” sign might be a good idea to avoid this in the future? So even with that - we’d 100% come back. Replies from management were prompt and direct. Perfect weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed Gin Ridge.

Perfect Location

Our family had a wonderful stay at Gin Ridge Cottage. The house suited our needs perfectly -- very clean, cozy and close to the beach. The view out to the ocean is lovely. The deck is perfect for lunch or reading a book. Well-appointed with all the basics we needed in the kitchen. An easy walk to the beach and a nice set-up to remove shoes and sand before heading back inside. We will be staying here again because we liked it so much. Thank you!

Gin Ridge Cottage

Do you want the most relaxing, cozy, and comfortable vacation rental at the beach in Gearhart, Oregon? Look no further than the Gin Ridge Cottage! Book it now-you'll be so glad you did. I recently had the enormous pleasure of staying there, and will go back again and again. There is plenty of room, a fully equipped kitchen; all the amenities you possibly need are provided. You'll have a wonderful ocean view of the mighty Pacific, and you're right on just the best street, in the best and quiet neighborhood, and you can walk to everything: the beach, the shops, the pickle ball and tennis courts, golf course, restaurants and bakeries...The owners have provided everything, and the management hosts are available by text or email within less than 5 minutes if you have a question or a concern. The keyless entry is so easy to use, the beds are very comfortable, all the appliances and wifi and tv and thermostat are very user friendly. Reserve now, and begin dreaming of cocktails on the deck and watching the sun set over the ocean and not having a care in the world.
