Beautiful Wedding Weekend

Overall satisfaction:

"We were in Gearhart for our daughter's wedding. She was married on the beach, just down the road from this beautiful house. Looking at pictures of this house makes me smile, brings back so many great memories of that "wedding weekend". The house was just as described. It is incredibly spacious and charming. We had so much fun walking around the grounds and exploring the area. We understood parking was limited, and that was fine. I do wish there was a second shower, but we knew what we were getting when we rented the house. The management company was great - we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house and had to call them to come let us in. They were prompt in coming over with a spare key! Overall, a great weekend and we would happily stay there again!!"

Charming Gearhart house

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"In this Covid period, the house was immaculately clean! Everything worked well, showers, kitchen appliances, heat. The house was so charming we felt like we were in a mid-century house with the chandelier and lighting fixtures. My husband and our 3 kids in their 20's enjoyed having their own bedroom. Lots of space. The piano downstairs was wonderful as my son enjoyed playing on it. We walked to town and to the beach and it was all so convenient! We saw ELK!!!!!! They chirp like seagulls at 2 in the morning. Facinating to see them lay down for the night. I would highly recommend this place. The gardens are beautiful!!!!"

Character

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

" I read reviews and felt prepared for our experience. It’s a house with character with plenty of space for a large family or a couple of small families. It was quirky, with a hodge-lodge of furniture. It reminded me of my grandparents’ house, which had been built on over the years during different eras. The house is close enough to the beach. It’s less than a block to the ice cream shop. We were celebrating an 11-year old’s bday, and it was perfect for sending noisy kids to the basement area or outside in the large yard to play laser tag or toss a football. Our minor complaints were things like confusing TV cords and missing remote batteries. Bulbs were burnt out. The fireplace directions made no sense. A sponge and more paper towels would have been helpful. A previous guest dropped little rifle bullets and they were scattered under the dryer. The place wasn’t luxurious, but it was fun and we will stay there again. After all of the extra fees and taxes, it wasn’t a bargain, but I feel it was worth it. "

"Charming, unique house with beautiful grounds & amazing deck. Lots of space for our group of 7. Quick walk to the beach, casual dining or drive to Seaside. This is an older home, so bedrooms & kitchen are small but rest of home is spacious. My only concern was front doors are quite flimsy so if security is a big issue for you that's a problem. Area seems safe enough, but I suggest checking with mgmt company to see if this has been remedied before renting."

Beautiful house but not comfortable to stay

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"The house was very unique and fun to look at. The garden and porch were amazing. The inside though was not furnished in a way that would allow all of to be together. The beds were all very small or uncomfortable and not useable. The kitchen was completely outdated with an old coffee pot that had been left on too long so it was burnt on the bottom. There was only one real shower/bathroom on main level. No where to put a towel or any toiletries in the shower. I was disappointed with this place for the amount of money we paid. I would have expected something with more modern amenities and usability."

"We had a wonderful week. The house is really interesting. There was a big remodel in 1932--during Prohibition. We could just imagine the parties! --and we had a great time. The location is really great! We saw a huge herd (50+) Roosevelt Elk in the sand dunes just a block from the house. A path right next door leads to the estuary. Cute little restaurants and grocery are a block away.We did have some challenges. One of the beds downstairs was comfortable. The others were saggy in the middle. I do have some arthritis and needed to sleep on a good camping mat on the floor. The beds were not a problem for the children. The house was clean except for a mattress cover that needed to be washed. The kitchen appliances were good. There are lots of nice dishes and pans. A few more glasses would be great. The BBQ worked on one side and needed to be cleaned so we just used the oven."

Lovely with issues

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"This is a beautiful historic home with exquisite grounds and landscaping. But guests need certain creature comforts such as, a mattress that is firm, sheets that fit the mattress, a mattress pad, comfortable pillows, a CanOpener that works, pots and pans that are from this century. The ad said that it had been professionally decorated, however, not one piece of furniture matched any kind of theme and several we’re not in good working order for example: the dining room chair cushions were completely unsuitable to sit on, night stand tables were so flimsy that turning off the lights was a delicate affair. I’m not one to complain a lot. I love the house and had seen it for years and always wondered what it look like on the inside. I’m certainly fine with an older house that still has the original kitchen, etc. I wasn’t even upset that the tub was was only large enough for a small dog. However, it is an injustice to this house not to have it in better working order. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to get some nice utensils, proper bedding, and pots and pans. It also doesn’t cost a lot of money to go to TJ Maxx and get some furniture that looks nice together (the fringe was coming off the couch and the couch sinks backwards-cmon people). The owner should love the inside of this house as much as they love the outside before they rent it again."

Renter Beware

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"First we arrived to find that there is no off street parking, only public parking across the street. There is no driveway at all. Hopefully, they have changed the listing to reflect this. Next, we were given the wrong access code and had to call the managment. Inside is big, but worn down and in desperate need of repairs! Some lights, porch and one room, randomly stopped working during our stay. My daughter wanted to take a bath in the tub, it is so small only a child will fit. Only the hot tap worked, so you can only fill it with straight hot water. I had to add ice from our cooler to make it tolerable. Also, the hot water is really inadequate for a home this size, sleeping 8 to 9 people. Anymore than two 10min showers per hour, and you're out. Hope you don't plan on doing dishes or laundry! Some doors didn't close, the bathroom one didn't lock, one door handle fell off in my hand. Down stairs smelled funny, dead flies in the window, no mattress covers on the beds, everything just screams LACK OF REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. We did not enjoy our stay. I understand old, I live in an old house. This home looks like it was once beautiful, sad it's falling to disrepair. At some point, it stops being "quirky and is just plain old and run down. When I spoke to managment they were polite but ultimately offered no resolution. Basically just shrugging and saying that can't force an owner to do upkeep. I don't think I'll be renting from Oregon Beach Vacations again if this is the type of home I risk getting. If an owner cannot handle repairs and updates, they should not be in the rental business.
