The Latourette House Originally built in 1892 (the very first home in Gearhart), this Gearhart vacation rental has been lovingly maintained and makes a wonderfully unique vacation getaway. Perched on a full acre of grassy meadow ringed by old-growth pines, the home sits just three blocks from the beautiful sandy beach and only four from the shops and cafes of charming Gearhart. The Latourette House has 2,500 square feet of unique living space. The sun-drenched living room has ample windows, and is the ideal spot to settle in with a good book for a quiet afternoon, or break out one of the provided board games for a little healthy competition. There is even a day bed that can be used at night by a guest. At mealtimes, you’ll find the kitchen is equipped with all the modern conveniences of home, including a dishwasher, oven with stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, and coffeemaker. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room with antique light fixtures and a gorgeous hutch awaits your home-cooked breakfasts and leisurely dinners. A door from the kitchen leads out to the patio, with a charcoal grill for summer barbecues. Outdoor seating nooks are scattered across the wraparound deck and throughout the grassy yard, and if you watch closely, you might spot a deer or elk wandering past! With four bedrooms, three full baths, and a unique summer sleeping porch with netting instead of glass windows, this home has plenty of room for eight guests. The largest bedroom offers a queen bed and a cable TV with DVD player, along with a private door leading out to the wrap-around deck. The second bedroom has a double bed, a third room has a twin bed, and the fourth bedroom offers two twins with another TV set. There are three full bathrooms, one with a beautiful soaking tub and two with walk-in showers. The upstairs summer sleeping porch, enclosed by netting rather than glass windows, is a one-of-a-kind spot that our younger guests will love! Over the years, it has become a makeshift art gallery or family journal with names and memories from the past of when the owners were kids and growing up in the home. You are welcome to view the make-shift journal, but please do not add anything to it. Please note that while the beds are comfy and the linens warm, the space does not have heat—it is wonderful for summertime sleeping in the fresh air, but not suitable for colder weather. The home even offers wireless Internet access and a washer/dryer, so it’s wonderful for a working getaway or long-term stay. Dogs are welcome with an additional nightly fee, and please inquire for special arrangements to accommodate a wedding or large reunion! This one-of-a-kind Northern Oregon Coast vacation home has welcomed families to beautiful Gearhart for decades!

About the area

Gearhart, Oregon, is a serene coastal town that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its wide, sandy beaches and picturesque ocean views, Gearhart is a haven for those seeking relaxation and the rejuvenating power of the Pacific Ocean. The town's charm lies in its quiet, residential character, which allows visitors to experience the peacefulness of a small beach community. Gearhart's beaches are less crowded than those of its more bustling neighbors, making it an ideal spot for leisurely strolls, beachcombing, and watching the sunset over the horizon. Golf enthusiasts will find solace at the Gearhart Golf Links, one of the oldest courses in the Pacific Northwest. Its classic links-style design offers a challenging and enjoyable round of golf amidst the stunning coastal scenery. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the Del Rey Beach State Recreation Site, where the rolling dunes and coastal pines provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife. Birdwatching is particularly rewarding here, with the chance to spot everything from shorebirds to raptors. For those interested in history, the Gearhart Historical Society offers insights into the town's past, including its development as a coastal resort area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The quaint architecture of the town's older homes and buildings adds to the nostalgic charm of the area. Gearhart's main street, dotted with local shops and eateries, invites visitors to browse unique gifts, savor homemade treats, and dine on fresh, locally-sourced cuisine. The town's laid-back atmosphere extends to its dining scene, where the focus is on quality and simplicity. Just a short drive away, the bustling city of Seaside offers additional attractions, including an aquarium, a lively promenade, and family-friendly activities. However, many visitors prefer to return to the quietude of Gearhart after a day of exploration. In essence, Gearhart is a destination that offers a gentle, restorative coastal experience. It's a place where time slows down, and the beauty of the Oregon coast can be appreciated in all its natural splendor. Whether you're looking to unwind on the beach, enjoy a round of golf, or simply breathe in the fresh sea air, Gearhart is a gem that promises a peaceful and memorable getaway.
