Updated Dog-Friendly Cottage with Outdoor Firepit, Five Blocks from the Beach

Gearhart Cottage North

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

From the red front door to the outdoor firepit, this dog-friendly Gearhart cottage for four is a great spot for a family or friend coast getaway.

The location of this home is unique and offers the best of Gearhart. Shops and eateries are within walking distance (including the local favorite Pacific Way Bakery & Cafe), and fun activities like playing on the beach and playing a game of doubles on the public tennis courts are close by as well. The beach is about a five-block walk away, so you won't waste much time getting to the sand.

A perfect blend of traditional beach house and modern decor create an atmosphere that can't be beat. The fenced backyard is a nice place to relax after a day out and about. Light the firepit and roast s'mores while the dogs and kids run around. Please note that there is a nightly pet fee.

Gather the group in the living room to cozy up on the plush sofas for a movie night on the large flatscreen TV. Cable is provided so you won't miss your favorite shows.

Across the room is a full kitchen with major and small appliances (coffeemaker, toaster, blender, microwave, mixer, and dishwasher included) for tasty at-home meals. A breakfast bar with two chairs sits off the butcher block island and a small bistro table for two is nearby as well.

The master bedroom features a king-size bed and a gorgeous in-room clawfoot tub next to the sink and toilet. Two twin-size beds occupy the second bedroom and a 3/4 bathroom with a large stand-alone shower is just off the hallway.

Feel free to stay at this fresh vacation rental as long as you like and have peace of mind knowing clean clothes for tomorrow's activities using the washer and dryer.

Head down to Gearhart Ocean State Park to beachcomb, take a relaxing stroll, and even build sandcastles on the rare, yet divine, sunny days. Play tennis, reserve a tee time at Gearhart Golf Links, and try out glass-blowing. Go hiking and horseback riding, or take a trip south a couple miles to Seaside or about 10 miles down to Cannon Beach.

From whale watching to staying in on a rainy day, your stay at this dog-friendly Oregon home will be one for the books.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

This is a cute house in a quiet neighborhood. Nice kitchen and great backyard. The fence securely contained our 12# pup. Easy walk to the market and coffee shops of Gearheart. We stayed a week to explore the northern coast. We hope to come back next year.

Staying Dry in Gearhart

Our pet was at ease during a storm. There is plenty of space to lay out and relax in front of the giant TV. The mini split unit had no issues keeping us warm.

Enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this home! It was very conveniently located just outside of Seaside on a very quiet, dead-end street with beach access only a short drive away. The home was clean and comfortable, and the yard is perfect for dogs. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely little getaway

This house is nestled in the middle of Gearhart a quaint and cute town. Very close to the golf course (if that’s your thing) and the beach. There was a lovely little bakery that had delicious pastries two blocks away from the house. It had more space than we required, so it would be perfect for a family of four. It had a fire pit that we wanted to use, but just never got around to it. Perfect location to access all sorts of fun activities on the northern Oregon coast. We’ll be back for sure 😊

Top site for dog owners

Love this place!! Moving it to the top of ocean city places to stay. Clean and quaint. The fenced in back yard is large and our Goldendoodle loved the freedom! Even supplied a poop shovel and rake to make pick-up easy. Lots of good walking to the ocean or on the woodsy trail right next to the house. We will definitely be back and will recommend this house to other people!!

Nice vacation house in a quiet town

The house was cute, clean, and decorated modernly with an ocean theme. The cabinets had many pots, pans, utensils. There were not many spices and no condiments in the fridge. The king-sized bed was comfortable. The twin size beds were not the best quality. The pillows were OK. I appreciated having two toilets but the second bathroom is literally in the master bedroom, which I did not gather from the pictures. We did not use the fire pit. The fireplace in the living room is easy to use. The temperature in the house seemed a little hard to control. The town of Gearhart is quiet and quaint but close enough to Seaside for anything we needed. I loved catching sunsets at the beach! It was the perfect location for our ventures to Astoria, Cape Disappointment and Cannon Beach. I loved using the Vacasa app. It was super helpful and the hosts were responsive. The code to get into the lock was way too long - we could never memorized it. I would recommend this place to a friend.

Great house but property management needs work

House was great, good location, nice small house and private. Rented the house for the fenced in yard for my 2 year old grandson. The yard was full of dog poop and the sand pit had huge chunks of glass buried in the sand. Curtain over the slider had blood stains. The toilet in the main bathroom had flushing issues and the hot water knob on the bathtub is loose and falls off. Minor things except for the poop, blood stains and glass....those are just ridiculous!

No power

No preparation for power outages, known to the locals as likely this time of year. Prior to arrival wasnt aware this was something that could impact my stay here. No heat, minimal hot water, no ability to cook, everything ran on electricity and no backup or generator in the event of total power loss. Left my stay earliy as it was uncomfortable in the 50 degree interior. Communication with the property management was terrible amd they did nothing to compemsate this issue. Would not recommend this place or the management company to anyone.

Does Vacasa Property Management conduct quality control?

Pros: liked the peaceful location and proximity to the ridge trail and Big and Little Beaches. Great yard for my dogs. Quiet and dark bedrooms made for restful sleep. Cute house; kitchen, breakfast bar, deck and fireplace were my favorite features. Cons: Smelled like dog when I sat on any piece of stuffed furniture or did yoga (with my yoga mat) on either one of the two rugs. Good thing I brought spray and incense. Everything needs a deep clean. My husband changed 6 burned out light bulbs and fixed the leaking sink sprayer fitting that soaked everything in the cabinet underneath the sink, including all supplies. He threw out many empty bottles of provisions. Master bedroom quilt/bed cover is worn and threadbare and looks like it was purchased in the 70s. Doesn't protect against the cold. 2 rolls of (wet) paper towels, 3 dishwashing pods, 3 garbage bags, and 4 rolls of toilet paper for 2 bathrooms during a 15-day stay. No response from Vacasa regarding schedule for garbage pick up. This isn't property management, this is simply a rent collection agency.

We have being stay at this cottage numerous times a year since 2017. I love the backyard for the dogs, the interior space is very comfortable and the location is just a few short blocks to the beach. We love having dinner at Nonni's in Seaside and always do lunch at the Bridgerwater in Astoria. Highly recommend.

Perfect spot in gearhart

I can’t begin to describe everything but here is a few…the walking trail is right there next to home, dead end street, but the whole area is walkable , and super friendly …the 2 bathrooms was great even the odd layout read it’s easy to figure out! Everything was clean, but remember this is rented to pets so keep that in mind we had no problem what so ever…we lived and ate on the fantastic back deck and fenced yard the fire pit was a hit and we left fire wood for the incoming renters! Don’t want to brag too much or it will be hard to find vacant!

Beach cozy cottage

Gearhart is a special area and this cozy cottage is in the heart of it. Short walk to the beach, shorter walk to town center. McMenamins is nearby on the golf course and the elk are often sited there. The home is clean and the kitchen well stocked. We had our dog with us and the fully fenced yard was a bonus.
