This property is kid friendly!! If you have issues booking because you have kids, please contact me. Darren Karr, Owner



SHOW UP, RELAX, ENJOY! IT'S THAT SIMPLE...



Here's what you get at Karr Beach House on Franklin...a comfortable beach cottage designed to feel "beachy" and provide you with everything you need to relax and enjoy as soon as you step through the door. 

Our house was built in 1926 and we've managed to retain much of it's charm and character without sacrificing our guests convenience and comfort. 



Play Pac-Man on a real arcade game, including other fun arcade games!

Relax in the comfy home, walk to downtown (10 min) along the ocean shore on the promenade, play in the water, barbecue your favorite meal, have a bonfire on the beach (1 block away)...It’s all ready and waiting for you!

Our house is dog friendly, and so is the beach! The entire beach is an off-leash dog paradise (owners are VERY responsible and attentive to their dogs). It's a great opportunity for your dog to run around, and make some new friends. Also, our yard is fenced in for your four-legged friend. REMINDER: We won't charge you a pet fee!

NOTE: Our house will sleep 8 people, but it's pretty tight for 8 adults, especially when there are multiple women. The bunk beds are more suitable for teenagers or small adults. The one bathroom is the main issue for a large group with multiple women. We frequently have 8 guests and it works out just fine for them. Please consider these points before booking this house. If you determine it'll work for your group, book away!!

Our house includes:

King bed, Queen (Casper mattress!) bed, bunk beds (2 beds total), a pull out couch, and a pack n play crib.

1 gas BBQ, 1 charcoal BBQ

Beach chairs, beach toys, buckets, shovel, etc.

High Speed WiFi Internet

Google TV with Chrome Cast (log into your personal accounts)

4K HD TV

Gas fireplace

Pros: Easy check in/out Spacious for 7 guests Lots of supplies in the kitchen. Close to the beach Cons: pet hair all over the bed sheets, and all over the carpet. Difficult to sleep on the beds without feeling itchy from the dog or cat hair that was all over the pillow cases and bed sheets :/ Old feel from furniture and carpet Overall, could be cleaner

The beach access is great - just a block away. The house was clean and comfortable. I would definitely not book it for 8 people - I would say it would sleep 6, but the living/sitting space would be tight even with 6 - we had 4 adults and 2 dogs.

Very pet and friendly beach house

Our family of 5 had a great time at this house. Perfect size and loved having a little yard to let dogs out and even the 5 year old play in. Bedrooms were nicely arranged. Short little walk to beach. We would love to stay here again.

Very close to the beach, had everything we needed to stay, we did find a bunch of cherrios around the dining room table floor, and a bit on the dusty side. We will probably find a different property to stay when we come back to stay in seaside next year.

This little cottage was perfect for our brief stay in Seaside. It was just a short walk to the beach, and the interior was cozy and comfortable for the three of us (2 adults and teen-aged daughter). Nice decorations added to the beach-side atmosphere - we enjoyed the vintage ambience.

About the host

Hosted by Darren Karr

Host profile image
We grew up and lived in the Portland area and enjoyed Seaside for most of our lives. Recently, we moved to Phoenix AZ! We hope our house has everything you want and need. If not, please let us know!

Why they chose this property

We love Seaside. It's only 1.5 hours away from the Portland area and is the quintessential beach town. Seaside offers everything we looked for in a beach town. Downtown Seaside is about 11 blocks away from the house and is less than a 15 minute walk.

What makes this property unique

Our house is our second home. We set it up so we could visit at any time and not have to worry about bringing a bunch of things with us. We want this to be the same for our renters. We want our guests to feel at home at our house and we make it as easy as possible to do that. We also have an easy entrance system in place so there's no need to stop by and pick up a key. We also make it easier on our guests by not asking them to clean when they leave. We want your stay to be as relaxing and trouble-free as possible.
