About this property

The Blue Door Beach Cottage: 4 BDRM/2 Bath/Large Yard, Dog Friendly

The classic vintage beach house of your dreams! This charming coastal retreat offers plenty of space and all the amenities for the perfect vacation or extended stay. Built in 1912, this lovely 4 bedroom/2 full bath home is located in the heart of historic Gearhart & just a few blocks from the beach access paths. Dog friendly (we allow 2 dogs max, with advance pre-approval only) and great for remote work and school, with internet speed of 100 MB per second.

ABOUT THE SPACE:
This 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is over 100 years old and has the bright, beachy feel of a classic Cape Cod cottage. Tastefully appointed throughout, it comfortably sleeps 8 and is the perfect getaway for family and friends to enjoy all the Oregon coast has to offer. The large grassy yard, back deck, Adirondack chairs, and quaint setting offer the perfect place for relaxing, wave-watching, and star-gazing.

The downstairs features an expansive living room with plenty of space for everyone to curl up comfortably and enjoy movie nights or conversation around the fireplace. The first level also has a spacious open kitchen and dining area that seats eight. The fully equipped kitchen comes complete with a Jenn-Air gas stove with griddle attachment, dishwasher, microwave, and all the accouterments to prepare a host of memorable meals. There is also a full bath on the main level.

Upstairs you'll find four ultra-cozy bedrooms, complete with comfy beds, luxury bedding, and tasteful decor. There are two queen bedrooms, a third bedroom with both a queen and a twin bed, and a fourth bedroom with two twin beds. There's also a second full bath with both a tub and shower at the end of the second floor hallway. Please note - the street-facing bedrooms have newer screened windows but the back bedrooms have original windows without screens. All bedroom windows function and will open but please be mindful of leaving small children unattended.

We have all the amenities on hand to make this your complete home away from home! All essential toiletries are stocked, so no need to bring shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, Q-Tips, or cotton pads. There's an on-site washer/dryer, iron, in-room fans, Apple TV, two flat-screen TVs, Blue Ray/DVD players, a VCR, Roku, Atari, internet access, bicycles, indoor and outdoor games, puzzles galore, as well as both gas and charcoal BBQ's. Please note: the house is over 100 years old and features the original shiplap interior walls. If you're a sensitive sleeper you may want to bring earplugs, as there's no soundproofing between rooms.

GUEST ACCESS:
Enjoy unlimited access to the entire four bedroom home!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Along with a bevy of puzzles and both indoor and outdoor games, we offer a variety of complimentary adult-sized bikes for guest use. The number of available bikes is subject to change/downtime when repairs are needed, but we always try to ensure there are enough bikes for 8 adults. If you need more technical performance or child-sized bicycles, there are several well-stocked bike rental shops conveniently located nearby in Seaside.

We only accept pets with advance pre-approval. Our pet policy allows for a maximum of 2 dogs (adults only - no puppies, no exceptions) and there is an additional $75 non-refundable cleaning fee. Be sure to indicate that you'll be bringing your pet(s) in your guest list and include a written request detailing their size(s), age(s), breed(s), training, and temperament. All pets must be fully house-trained and not have any tendencies to mark furniture or be destructive. Pets are not allowed on any furniture - if your dog(s) is used to being on furniture it's your responsibility to cover any furnishings they have access to. We also require pet owners to pick up, bag, and dispose of any doodies in the yard prior to departure. Failure to follow these requirements will result in additional fees.

This is not a party home and guests are prohibited from holding events of any kind, as our occupancy is city-mandated based on septic capacity. Many of our neighbors are full-time residents that we consider friends, and we ask all guests to please be respectful. It is also strictly a non-smoking home. That includes the garage, driveway, deck spaces, and yard.

We offer a 50% discount for those looking for month-long stays during the off-season. Exclusions apply during the peak summer months of June, July, and August, as long-term discounts are not eligible during that time frame. Feel free to inquire for more details. The house has excellent wifi and can easily accommodate families looking to work and/or school remotely. Don't hesitate to inquire if you're interested in a long-term stay or a range of dates that are outside our min/maximum stay requirements.

A nominal $75 cleaning fee is added to the total stay. All you have to do on your way out is follow a few quick closing instructions and lock the door. A real vacation! Our check-out requirements consist of taking out your trash and recycling, doing your dishes, starting a load of towels, and making sure everything is turned off and locked up. Failure to follow these requirements will result in additional fees.

Tsunami/Earthquake Warning: If you hear a warning siren while on the beach - please get off the beach immediately and always head to high ground east of Hwy 101 as quickly as possible.

Similarly, if something isn't working or happens to get damaged during your stay you're required to let us know so we know how/when it occurred and who was responsible.

Great Spring Break Getaway
Our family stayed here for a spring break getaway. Quiet little area with great proximity to the beach and downtown Seaside. Experienced a few hiccups during our stay and the Owners responded quickly to remedy the situation. We loved that the home had bikes for everyone’s use and the kids enjoyed the foosball table in the garage. Will definitely look to rent here again in the future
