Great house

Great house for several couples to stay at. The bedrooms offered good separation and was very comfortable. We had a couple small issues but the host responded almost immediately. Would recommend and will return.

Nice property

This was a very nice property overall. Very spacious, in good condition, easy drives to Seaside, Ecola State Park, and Astoria. The hot tub was a big hit with the teens, and the extremely well stocked kitchen was great. There are only two bathrooms, which was a bit hard to manage with 9 people, and the dining room needs window shades to keep it from turning into a greenhouse in the summer, but overall we would definitely stay here again.

Special Gearheart Stay

The home was very well appointed, and included all the amenities and supplies that one could want for a cozy Gearheart stay! The house is a short distance from the beach, along with a charming McMenamins property. There was ample space for our group, and we were impressed with the thoughtful touches like lap blankets, bean bags, high quality kitchen gadgets and board games. Everything was as listed. Our only improvement would be the comfort of the mattresses. Otherwise we wouldn’t change a thing!

Great stay at the beach.

I chose this property because it had an interesting floor plan, hot tub, was reasonably priced, and if your plans changed you could cancel within a reasonable time. Very nicely laid out, drawers in kitchen were all labeled for convenience, and very comfortable overall. The sunroom was nice, and I understand the weather isn't always sunny and 85+ degrees, but an option to cover it when it might be is worth considering. Although, opening the windows does create a nice flow through as a worthwhile option. Everything was neat and clean on arrival, and we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend to others.

Wonderful home

The property was fantastic. Perfect for my friends and I. I was able to find everything I needed. It seemed like everything had been thought through very carefully. The house was very clean. The only issue I had with cleanliness was that the throw blankets had a smell to them and seemed unwashed but in the scheme of things that was a very minor detail. The rest of the house was very clean and the beds were made fresh. Expectations of the host are fair. Some of the communications had typos such as check in at 7pm instead of 4 and checkout at 11 instead of 10, but i dont blame the host for that, rather the system used to generate automated messages. The location is perfect. I would definitely stay here again. Loved it.

Nice location, roomy layout, needs urgent cleaning/attention

We were very pleased with the location and layout of the property, and believe this can be an excellent rental with some needed attention. Overall, disappointed with condition compared to cost. There's a lot of small issues with this property that need to be addressed before they turn into larger issues: the "Ensuite" toilet runs every 30-60 minutes, and it's loud and slow to fill (from the moment we arrived - nothing short of turning off the water supply will stop it, needs a new fill & flush valve). The upstairs toilet mount (to floor) is lose and moves when you sit on it. Broken outlet cover next to the downstairs entertainment center. Spiral staircase is loose (noisy and wiggles underfoot), and is missing a section of handrail cover at the top. Range Hood needs cleaning (grease on hood and the ceiling) and the lights do not work. The BBQ grill was filthy, only 2/3 of burners would light, and there wasn't a scrub brush to clean with (two old, bald brushes in the lower cabinet). There are exposed nails on the front deck (rotted boards). Mouse droppings beside the front door (only place we saw them, thank goodness). Gutters need cleaning and have 1" tall tree growing within the front side (when it rained, they overflowed). Cobwebs and dust everywhere inside. Windows need washing - one of the panes in the sunroom is filling with water. We had to vacuum the dresser drawers in the primary bedroom before putting our close in them.
