Extremely overpriced!

Extremely tiny room with micro furniture. Recently remodeled. Bed was very low and extremely soft. The pilot on the gas stove in the room wouldn’t turn off and the interior temp was 79 degrees with all of the windows open. Extremely overpriced at more than $2/sqrt ft per night. Worst value ever!

We recently stayed here for a few nights with our grandchildren. We stayed in Cottage 11. We loved having access to the garage full of beach toys, chairs, BBQ, picnic tables and fire pits for s’mores! We enjoyed a delicious welcome cocktail after arrival. So thoughtful. What put this place over the top for us was the beautiful breakfast basket delivered to our door every morning. This will definitely be our forever stay when in Gearhart. Thank you!

Disliked: Amenities
The decor and overall concept are really cute, and the space felt cozy, which I appreciated. That said, there’s definitely room for improvement. The unit we stayed in had an unpleasant odor, the shower pressure was weak, and the bathroom was a bit cramped—with some visible mold on the shower curtain, which wasn’t ideal. The mattress wasn’t firm enough for me, and the ceiling fan didn’t work, which made it hard to get proper air circulation. With a few updates, this could be a much more comfortable stay.

They thought of everything we could possibly need. They even had some treats and a blanket for our dog when we checked-in. They also dropped off a selection of pastries, fruit and juice at your door in the morning which was a great way to start our day. We will definitely be back!
