Owner's Map of Gearhart
Our beach house has been in the family for 40 years. My mom and dad built the house in the 60's, doing a lot of the work themselves. Scott and I were married there in 1974. Our children and all their cousins have lots of memories of family reunions at the beach house...4th of July, fireworks, bonfires on the beach, bike rides, Seaside and the Penny Arcade, the bumper cars, Cannon Beach, Little Beach in Gearhart, crabbing, fishing, clamming, bogy boarding, going to Astoria and so much more. And my son Sam was married there 5 years ago. The house was gifted to my siblings and I, and as time went on, they found they were not using it as much as us, so we ended up buying their shares. To make ends meet, we have decided to rent it. There are so many family mementos in our house, photos of my parents and all of us growing up, along with some of the antiques and artwork from my parents. It's a very special place, filled with memories of our family.... games that we've played throughout the years, scrapbooks, old books, but also, some new, very comfortable furniture and beds and a newly remodeled kitchen, with a great view of the ocean, perfect for looking out at while cooking or cleaning up the dishes!

I stayed here with a big group of friends from all over the country. The house was absolutely gorgeous and comfortable, and made our reunion even more special. Margaret was friendly and easy to deal with, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. One thing the pictures don't show is how beautiful the nearby beach and grassy dunes are-- stunning, and very private. We saw a big herd of elk during our stay. We are hoping to stay here again next year!

Margaret, thanks again for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful beach house. We all had a great time! Once a year our family gets together and this year we decided to go down the coast together. It was so nice to spend time in your lovely home. The pictures didn't do it justice. It was cozy, clean, lots of space for everyone, and the view was so beautiful and peaceful. The kids loved the beach, building a fire and eating marshmallows/s'mores at the beach, seeing the deers in the yard and just spending lots of time together. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

We are wrapping up a wonderful week at the Oregon coast in Surf Pines. The home is exceptional. The view is awesome from the whole upper level, including an expansive deck. Very up to date furnishings, plenty of space and comfortable beds. We would highly recommend staying here.
Owner response:Thanks, Jeff, for the nice review. We love our beach house! And this is the most perfect time to be there. Margaret

This was such a beautiful setting and home, we were lucky to find it. Lots of room, beautiful view, and nice quiet neighborhood. Margaret was so easy and nice to deal with... very helpful and available at any time we needed her, although we didn't need to call. This was so much nicer than renting a condo or hotel room - it was homey and perfect in every way!

10 of us stayed here for a 3 day weekend over Halloween in order to take part in a cyclocrosss race in Astoria. House is large with lots of bedding options and comes equipped with everything you could possibly need. Great for a large group with nice common area which flows into the kitchen. Nice quiet location with a great ocean view as well. Pictures on website accurately depict conditions. Owner quickly emailed me back with questions I had. We will stay here again next year!

Great Oregon Trip

Review Submitted: 10/31/10
Our family (ourselves and 4 children, 3 of them married with children) wanted to find a place on the northern Oregon coast for a weeklong vacation. This home fit the bill because each family could have their own bedroom. The description matched the home perfectly and things couldn't have worked out better. Margaret was great to work with and showed genuine concern and interest in our plans and experience. She called a couple of times while we were there just to make sure everything was working out. Watching the sunset from the back deck was a real treat and we actually did see some deer bedding down in the back yard. We had a great trip and the grandkids still rave about their trip to Oregon.

Lovely home. The kitchen and dining/living areas were ideal for relaxing and visiting either one on one or in larger groups and all of the beds were very comfortable - even the bunkbeds! We also enjoyed the spacious deck which made for lazy afternoons with great views. The highlight though was a collection of older family photos along the walls and in a few albums. We all agreed the photos depicted a fun-looking family who would no doubt have been fun to hang out / know. We'd definitely stay there again.

Stayed at the house for a college sorority reunion. It was the perfect place for the 8 of us! It was so comfortable and homey. Very clean and well-equipt. Great view of the ocean and the parasailors. Nice walk to the beach over the grassy dunes. Thanks Margaret and Scott for sharing your home with us! We loved staying there.

Review Submitted: 08/23/10
Our grandchildren loved collecting sand dollars and flying kites on the beach. The home is quiet and a little remote from town. The floor plan worked well for our family with three generations: grandparents, children and grandchildren, with an open floor plan and the master bedroom on the upper level and other bedrooms on the lower level.
