clean, bright, cheerful, easy access, well laid out, easy walk to the beach, private, quiet, parking spot.......

Lovely place, perfect location, great kitchen, nice amenities; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We brought bikes & were able to keep them in the enclosed back patio. We did accidentally drop & break the brown ceramic bowl. Please let us know how much we need to reimburse you for it; we are so sorry. Thank you again for a terrific stay. Jim, Steve, Barbie & Ray

Captain’s Quarter is a very spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom single-level corner condo with an expansive view of the dune to the beach. The space is perfect, with large windows, a private back patio, a recently renovated large open kitchen, and very convenient floor plan. It is perfectly located in the small beach community of Gearhart, close to the bustle of Seaside, but conveniently removed from it. The unit, while it has many great features, has a few disadvantages, some of which are easily remedied: -No curtains or blinds on the doors to the back patio in the bedroom, which have glass in them; -No plug in or even a real nightstand on one side of the king bed in the main bedroom, also no bedside lamp on that same side. Other issues are a bit bigger to address: -the windows in the bedrooms do not open, and while it is entirely safe to sleep with the door to the back patio open for air circulation, not everybody is necessarily comfortable with that; -while the unit is not advertised as coming with a washer and dryer, there is both there but they are not usable. At this price point and considering that it is a summer beach rental, having a washer and dryer would really make sense… -the upholstered furniture really has seen better days; -the slate flooring is somewhat difficult to keep clean, especially with all the sand; -overall, the unit shows its age (carpet in the bedrooms, dated bathrooms, etc).

When I rented, it said remove linens and start machine if possible. When we arrived, sign on wash machine said it would flood. We were very disappointed and had to find a laundromat. The book on the counter should have directions for use of house which I have always had as I have rented houses before from Vrbo. Also should have direction for laundromat. The view and wall of windows was great, beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean and practical. Enjoyed rest of our stay.

Our family had a great time. Plenty of space to relax together or separately (two couples and one infant). Quick and easy access to beach. We’re able to frequent McMenamins (2 min walk), Long Beach, and cannon beach to see family.

I had never stayed in Gearhart before. This was a great location close to the McMenamins Hotel. The place is an end unit condo closest to the beach. You can't see the ocean because of a dune in the way, but you can see the endless sky and hear the ocean. Very short walk over the dune to the ocean. You can drive on the beach in Gearhart so with my bad knee it was nice to be able to get to the beach with walking through dry sand. I would come back.

So clean, so bright with plenty of space.

Property was just as described. Past posting mentioned heating problems, all was working great. It was nice and toasty You can hear the ocean and if you walk to the end of the fence line you see a portion of it, and if you follow the trail you can be there. Beds were very comfortable and an end unit made it nice, but it was very quiet while we were there. Very happy, nice property!

Peacefulness, super close to the beach, easy to find, and had plenty of room to spread out.

One cannot see the ocean from this rental but can see a stretch of green grass, some low dunes, then endless sky. Also an inviting path that leads to the beach via a 5-minute walk. Good kitchen and livingroom area, with essentially abwall of windows. Bedrooms and bathrooms not updated in the same way but serviceable. The bedrooms both have glass doors to a fenced back patio. A little awkward that these doors do not have window coverings. One of the bedrooms has a kingsize bed, which is really too large for the room, making it difficult to open the door to the livingroom area. To either side of the bed are nightstands which are inconveniently low to the ground and only one has a lamp. These are no more than inconveniences, though. This place is lovely. I enjoyed my stay and plan to return.

First the negative! I was rather annoyed that this place was advertised as having a fireplace, but was not told, until I had already paid, that I could NOT use the fireplace.

This place has everything a beach loving person could ask for, except a functioning fireplace. The place is very comfortable and nicely laid out with excellent views out towards the Pacific Ocean. The bedrooms are cozy but a bit chilly as the wall heaters is each room are rather useless. The bedrooms are warmed by the heating from the rest of the unit, but that can take a day to finally get them warm. The beds are comfy and extra blankets are available to keep you warm at night. Behind the bedroom, outside, is a nice patio, including a bar-b-que, which could be enjoyed in the Summertime. The kitchen and living area covers the entire back side of the unit with an lot of glass looking out towards the beach. It is lovely to sit in the Living Room area and read while looking out towards the ocean. This unit is part of a long strip of units with plenty of parking on the East side of the building. One of the nice things about this unit is that it is on the very North end of the building giving you just a bit more feel of a stand alone place. There is nothing between this unit and the ocean, and there is a path leading right down to the beach from the front door.

I had a wonderful and very relaxing stay and will very likely return again sometime in the near future.

Nice location and comfy setup. Everything was great!

We booked the Captain's Quarters for a holiday retreat on the coast. There were two couples in our group - and that worked perfectly for the rental's two main bedroom configuration. We already love Gearhart OR from past stays at other places, but this property is right off the water nestled in the dunes. You can't see the water just over the grassy dune, but there is nothing else between you and the open coastline. It happened to be windy and stormy during our winter stay. We even got a bit of rare coastal snow - but we were safe and warm with a wood fire the whole time. The expansive windows facing the coast make you feel a part of it all. We spent the week cooking and visiting and cooking some more. The open layout of the common space was perfect for this, and the kitchen well equipped with modern appliances and everything we needed. Our stay was perfect. We will certainly look for a time to return.

So far my experiences with vacasa have so far exceeded other booking sites that I no longer even use the other options when booking a home rental. The house was clean and well furnished. Beachfront and an easy walk to the beach. The location is very good. I appreciated having things in the house such as a fan to use at night. It could use a few larger pans for cooking such as a pot for spaghetti. Needs a spatula. Everything was good and Eli was very friendly. See you next time!
