Spend a peaceful Oregon Coast getaway at this charming, dog-friendly Gearhart vacation rental with an enclosed yard and easy beach access! This classic, wood-shingled beach bungalow has everything you'll need, including a Ping-Pong table, for a memorable trip or intimate wedding in this wonderfully quiet beachside community.

The cottage is located a block from Gearhart Ocean State Park and within a mile of the historic Gearhart Golf Links. Bring stand-up paddleboards and kayaks to explore nearby Neawanna Creek, then finish your day with dinner and a pint at McMenamins Sand Trap located just a mile away in the heart of the community.

Inside, you'll find a clean design with hardwood floors, knotty pine walls, a large plaid sectional sofa, and a gas fireplace with a gorgeous stone facade. Returning from a walk on the beach, warm up in front of the fire while you talk about the day or listen to the Bose stereo. French doors lead out to an enclosed yard, complete with a patio and gas grill. The enclosed space is the perfect place to let the dogs and kids play, or set up an archway and chairs for an intimate wedding ceremony.

There is a large wooden dining table in this open living space, making family meals easy to plan and serve. And in the full kitchen, the chef in your group will be treated to granite countertops, a dishwasher, refrigerator, stovetop/oven, microwave, and even a coffee grinder. Bring your own beans from home or pick some up in neighboring Cannon Beach's Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters.

The main level has a comfortable bedroom with two twin beds (perfect for kids!), as well as the full bathroom, complete with a separate shower and a soaking tub. When you stay at the Peaceful Cottage in Gearhart, you'll also have a laundry room with a washer and dryer - so don't worry about keeping clothes clean while you explore the Coast!

Head upstairs for family time in the fun game room, which is ideal for music lovers as it provides a keyboard. In addition, everyone will appreciate the air hockey table, mini pool table, DVD player, and the VCR. Bring your favorite movies from home, or pick one from the shelves. There are two sofas for seating, so everyone can find a spot for movie nights. WiFi is provided as well so you can stay connected to the office or your favorite blog.

Two of the three upstairs bedrooms have queen beds, and the other has a full bed. All of the bedrooms have cozy, colorful quilts, bedside tables, and reading lamps. Everyone will want to sleep in and have a relaxing morning here! Up to two dogs (weighing 60 pounds or less) are welcome with an additional nightly fee. Human guests can number 10.

This great Gearhart location is just blocks from a beautiful stretch of sandy beach. A peaceful, quintessential beach town, you can spend your days unwinding at the shore, perusing through one of the handful of shops and galleries, or playing a round of golf at the course. Plus, most attractions in town are walkable from your door!

On days you don't feel like preparing lunch or dinner, walk to Pacific Way Cafe for one of the best meals that you'll find in the area. More options are just south in neighboring Seaside. If you feel like exploring, Astoria is 15 miles north and boasts many restaurants, museums, and shops. And in 11 miles, you can be browsing galleries, walking along the beach by Haystack Rock, or sipping a mocha at Sleepy Monk in artsy, popular Cannon Beach.

The quiet and charming oceanside community of Gearhart is an ideal location for a Northern Oregon Coast vacation rental. Come enjoy a carefree beach getaway or plan your special wedding day at this peaceful cottage filled with entertainment amenities, gleaming hardwood floors, and tons of classic beach cottage character!
