Gearhart by the Sea

I adore Gearhart By The Sea. Yes, the majority of the rooms look like they’ve been decorated by your grandma, but I find it incredibly charming. The views are spot on, the patio perfect for a glass of wine, and the walk to the beach easy for anyone of any age. Plus my dogs adore it here and the service is top notch.
I have nothing but the best things to say about GBTS. Keep doing what you’re doing, guys; you’re doing a fantastic job.

My family and I have been staying a Gearhart for years. It is always a nice stay. The rooms are always clean and very nice. The views are excellent, almost a view from every room (except for some ground level condos, but that’s ok!). The beach in front of the condos is one of my favorites. It is not too crowded like some of the beaches down south. It’s been a great stay every time I’ve been here!

What a great Spring Break with my family and pets. It was a comfortable place that treat you with all the accommodations needed. Having a washer and dryer on site was really helpful. Also it’s so close to the beach it was nothing to just take a quick walk on the beach before bed. The Elk even came by for a beach stroll while we were there. Our kids enjoyed the pool and we loved the hot tub spa. Will be staying again hopefully sooner than later.

Each unit is individual owned and decorated. My wife and I stayed in unit 668. Very clean 1 bedroom marvelous view from the 3 floor. Reasonably priced.
Great relaxing experience

What a wonderful place to come and relax, clean rooms with all the amenities that you can ask for, full stocked kitchen, plasma TV, and a great staff to serve you. I can’t say enough of the breath taking views from my fourth floor room. The Ocean was unreal and the days that we spent there were sunny and clear. My family is already making plans for the next trip. If you are wondering what part of the country we are from, only from the Entertainment Capitol Of The World. Las Vegas NV.

I was quite pleased with our stay at Gearhart by the Sea. Our unit was clean and offered a pleasant view of the ocean. The walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes. We had an entryway with coat hooks, a clean bathroom, spacious bedroom, open kitchen and comfortable living room. The sliding glass doors led to a balcony. We left the doors open most of the time and let the cool breeze come in off the ocean. The shower head in the bathroom was a little low for me, and I’m not that tall, but it was nothing unmanageable. The television had a plethora of channels including HBO so even without renting a movie from the main office we never had any difficulty finding something to watch.
Since each suite is unique I could see how staying here might be a bit of a gamble but I genuinely had a great experience. I would highly recommend this location to a family with younger children as it’s very close to downtown Seaside and the beach. The kitchen presents a great opportunity for having lunch or even dinner without going out.

Don’t stay here. Big disappointment. Unit was spacious but had a bad odor we couldn’t get rid of. Old cigar butts in planter on deck that was filled with a dead plant. View of ocean was distant and over roof of old pool building. Maid service promised but never happened. Thin mis– matched towels. No hairdryer! Broken slat in blinds. Slide to deck so heavy and sticky that two men and a boy couldn’t open and close it. Unknown stains on dining room chairs. Hate to think what they might have been… all chairs had them, not just one. Unit 468. On the plus side, the front desk was helpful and Sandtrap restaurant fairly good. One star is for that alone. Otherwise might be over rated. We did complain to the front desk upon check-​out and they credited us a small amount for the lack of maid service, but because all units are individually owned, couldn’t adjust it anymore. We won’t go back. There are so many other choices, that we’d rather take our chances with a new place than revisit one we had such a bad experience with. It’s a shame, because it’s a great location that is close to the beach.
