Stayed for a few days in early Oct.Location is great...right opposite golf course and area is wonderful.However the Condo needs some serious TLC.The carpet in the main room could do with a clean,the fridge door is broken and the beds in the box room were pretty uncomfortable.

This is an old condo area in north Gearhart. We stayed in G608 of Gearhart House on the first floor. Comfortable stay. Super great rental value for so close to the beach. Gearhart is very quiet and off the beaten path. It is mostly upscale non-rental residences, so to find an affordable rental was nice. Near drive-on to beach. About 2 blocks walk to the beach. You can drive on the beach (4 wheel drive is best) from here up to the Fort Stevens Park area. Clamming is nearby all along this coast (when the season is open). Nice pool/hot tub in separate building. Easy drive to Seaside, Warrenton, Astoria. Lots of good restaurants in the area besides McMenamins, The Sand Trap, across the street. Each unit is independently owned so decor & style, age of furnishings varies. Check in and check out were seamless at the office across the street. Near a nice golf course which we did not use. A nearby drive to Sunset Beach Trailhead has nice walking trails. Thanks to the owners for sharing this nice little old condo with us.…

We were on the 3rd floor, facing the ocean- couldn't have a better view. The condo was clean and comfortable. Had to buy my own frying pans because the ones provided belonged in the trash! Each unit is privately owned, so some are better, some worse. You never really known until you get there. We previously stayed in houses during our visits to the Coast, so thought we would give a condo a try. If you don't mind condo living this is probably great for you. The staff is quick to respond to requests for supplies-toilet paper, tissue, paper towels, etc. The building is old and we lost power one day and water another. Daily grounds maintenance had lawn mowers, leaf blowers, etc. noise breaking the ocean waves sounds until evening. We won't stay again.

My husband stayed at Gearhart by the Sea growing up in the 70s and 80s, and we were so excited to go back there! We also took my 88yo mom along, and stayed in Unit 736. We had to cut our visit to only 2 nights (paid for 3) as the unit was dingy, smelly, and dirty. The website pictures made the unit look clean and nice, but the reality was the opposite. None of us even sat on the couches as the whole place was dirty, unkept, and old. For $350 a night, we feel like we got ripped off. Just want others to beware, as we didn’t do enough research before we stayed there. This unit reminded us of a frat house, full of dirty used furniture and everything old and beat up.

I can’t say enough about how much we enjoy staying here. It our north coast go-to every time. We’ve never been disappointed once except when it’s time to head home. It is close enough to Seaside and all their amenities but once you get back to your room it’s like you have a section of beach all to yourselves.

Stayed in G708 and would recommend it; if you don't want clean fresh sheets, towels or black hairs in the shower and on the toilet upon arrival. Please keep your socks on, as carpet hasn't been cleaned since 2004 maybe. Hope you love dog smell for a non pet unit. IF anyone was charged for a pet, they didn't use it for a bottle of Fabreze. The sliding doors don't lock and whistle from being old and broken. PVC tubing was the secure door lock. Recommended for fishermen, they smell like fish and are probably too drunk to know a terrible place to stay.

I randomly chose Gearhart by the Sea for a trip with my mom and aunt. Never did I think I would choose so wisely. Won of the greatest paid without seeing places I have ever visited. Quiet. Elevator. It was too far to walk to the beach, but the VIEW from our room was amazing, along with the fire. It was truly a perfect memory. Balcony a bit crooked and only one little store nearby, but we found what we needed.

I was trying to find a place that didnt charge a crazy amount for this time of year, but had a view of the ocean and was comfortable. It took 3 days of searching online and right before I was ready to give up on our first trip out of town since 3/2020, I stumbled onto Gearhart by the Sea. I am so happy I did!!! We stayed in G696, which is on the 4th floor with mostly SW views of the ocean, but its a wonderful view. On a clear day you can see all the way to Seaside from the balcony. Its a huge balcony by the way. Enough room to have at least 4 people comfortanbly sit in the nice beach chairs they have. The condo itself looks just like the photos. Clean, open floor plan, comfortable, calming and just a great place to unwind. The beds were comfortable, the couch was comfortable and the whole feel was...well comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessities we needed to stay in and cook. Including a blender! The owners really care about their place and it definitely shows. Since booking this place a couple weekends ago, I have booked a stay again for the future. We havent stayed in any of the other condos, but we found one we loved, so why try another??? The office staff was super polite, helpful and cheerful. The restaurant staff at the McMennamins directly across the way were also very polite and helpful. The only CON I could come up with is.. that the bedroom is next to the walkway to get to all the rooms and elevator on the 4th floor. So it may get loud if someone isn't being polite late at night or early in the morning. We didn't have any issues, but I can see that possibly being one. We are definitly going to keep coming back anytime we want to head to the North Oregon Coast.…

Just stayed at Gearheart by the Sea in room 742. We booked last minute so not a lot of availability to chose from. Room 742 is dated, like the owner has done zero to the unit since the 1980’s. There is water damage on several walls in the unit that have not been repaired. The carpet is very old, faded, and stained. The shower heads are very low. I’m 5’5 and the shower head was at my shoulders. Toilet doesn’t flush well either. Curtains are coming off the rails. The plus, it was clean. Internet is terrible. Streaming just doesn’t happen. I would not stay in that unit again.

What a fantastic crew, and room! Friendly, helpful, FAST! We had a sick room that the kids loved as did we. Beautiful view. Comfortably slept 6. I will never stay anywhere else at the coast and I’m kind of upset that I’ve been here 40years and have just now discovered this gem.
