The large, sprawling, unfenced, professionally landscaped yard is a wonderful multipurpose area. The level grassy area can be used for recreational activities. The patio provides an outdoor table and grill with adirondack chairs. The view alone is serene and enjoyable.

The house is pet friendly (with a pet fee and owner approval). We ask that pets not be left unattended unless in a crate/kennel and are not allowed on the furniture. Bring your own recreational equipment and feel free to use the garage as storage.

Outstanding accomodations on the Oregon coast

We truly enjoyed this place. It's spacious, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished, and the location is ideal. The host went out of her way to make our stay comfortable, even warming the house before we arrived. My family and I hope to return in 2024.

Super Cute & Near Beach

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. It was a 10-15 minute walk from the beach, through dune grass. Very pretty walk. Close to shops, as well. Good Times 🙃 is a nice new addition to the neighborhood. Owners communicated well and house had everything we needed. Thanks!

Great house/location

The house is adorable! Well cared for, very clean. Some new renovations throughout. We loved our stay and were very happy with the house and the location. Gearhart is an adorable, quaint town with a charming little bakery and even a McMenamins! The house is walking distance to the beach. We drove to Cannon Beach for the day on one of the days and went to see the Peter Iredale shipwreck another day. It was a great trip!

Perfect spot!

Everything about this place is perfect. The home itself is great, newly updated and beautifully decorated. Beds are comfortable and the bedding is great, too. Gearhart is a sleepy little town but close to all the things we wanted to do and see. You can go a mile down the road have access to all kinds of restaurants and shopping but we preferred the non-touristy vibe of Gearhart. The walk to the beach is gorgeous. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I even looked up a couple properties that were for-sale, that's how much I love the area.

Family Friendly Stay in Gearhart

We had a perfect stay at this home in Gearhert! We had 5 adults and 1 child and we all stayed comfortably! This home had everything and lots of extra! We loved the play space and toys for the kiddos! We enjoyed the outdoor firpit on the patio! Only a few blocks from the Gearhart store and bakery for a yummy morning breakfast. The owner was quick to respond and easy to work with! We would stay again!

Our Vrbo stay in Gearhart

The property was very inviting, well maintained, clean and very well equipped. The owners were most responsive to communications. The yard is lovely and large enough to accommodate guests' pets. The one drawback is if you bring pets, be aware the yard is not fenced. The neighborhood is quiet and quite pleasant. I would not hesitate to book this property again in the future.

Great Place!

We just returned from a stay at the Gearhart Property. We had 2 couples and 3 kids under the age of 5. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kids had plenty of room to play. The house is very kid friendly with no stairs, outlet covers and a sunken family room for TV/Movie Watching and playing. Plenty of things to do in Seaside rain or shine and it is about a 5 minute drive. The beach is less than a 10 minute walk to the house and great for the kids to run around. The beach was not too crowded and we had a great time overall.

About the host

Hosted by Tara Fullerton

Host profile image
Hello! My husband and I are both native Oregonians and have enjoyed the Oregon coast all our lives. We reside in Portland and took on this Gearhart project in 2004. We take great pride in the countess hours of turning this aluminum siding, dated house into the modern, warm house it is today. Two years after acquiring this house, we hosted our nuptials in the backyard in 2006! We now have three young spirited boys and a very busy lifestyle. When we find time, we love to escape to Gearhart for relaxation. We love to relax in the comfort of our house as well as enjoy the outdoor activities such as hiking, clamming, golfing, biking, and endless walks with the most scenic sunsets and wildlife sightins. We are so grateful for Gearhart!

Why they chose this property

What a strike of luck to discover Gearhart! We love the charm of Gearhart. It's an easy drive from Portland (our home) and is conveniently located to all the beautiful north coast towns of Seaside, Astoria, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, and more. We enjoy the quietness and family friendly environment with outdoor activities. The beach is serene and peaceful, beautifully set back from the houses by the dunes. The community is friendly and warm. Whether is breathtaking walks, runs, biking, yard work, or enjoying some downtime inside near the fireplace during a good storm, great memories are made here!

What makes this property unique

Location! This one level house is centrally located to town. We love walking for coffee, yummy pastries, wine, and dining out. There are lots of activities nearby such as golf, tennis, pickle ball, basketball, clamming, and more. Once in awhile, you catch a glimpse of wildlife (elk, bald eagles) around the area. The peaceful beach is a short couple blocks away. It’s one of the most picturesque beaches on the Oregon coast!
