Spruce Landing

This beautiful Gearhart vacation rental combines Craftsman character with modern features in a happy marriage of comfort, efficiency, and proximity to charming little Gearhart - one of the best-kept secrets of Oregon's northern coast! There's the beautiful, long beach, of course. Stroll at nearby Gearhart Ocean State Park or Del Ray State Recreation Site. Play a round of golf at Gearhart Golf Links, a mile away, or Highlands Golf Club, just a bit farther. It's a short distance to the eateries in downtown Gearhart. Or, cross the bridge into Astoria about 15 miles north, where you can visit one of the waterfront bistros, casual fish houses, and a few highly regarded microbreweries. Make the three-mile drive south to Seaside with its lovely aquarium, boardwalk, and souvenir shops.

A bonus dog door also leads to the big backyard: a gorgeous spot with an outdoor firepit so you can watch the stars by the fire's warmth.

The atmosphere of this lovely period home is preserved with touches like a claw foot tub, hardwood floors, and faux, gas woodstove and wood fireplace. And, you'll have many of the amenities of home, like a CD player and DVD player. The living area is a bright, open space, made larger by a pitched ceiling punctuated with skylights that flood the room with sunlight. Watch it dance on the beautiful hardwood floor! Make coffee and share tales of your day on the whale-watching charter or the beach. The overhead ceiling fan will keep the air - warm or cold - circulating in summer or winter. There's a DVD player, but you'll want to pack some movies to watch. The big TV has cable, but if you'd like a simple diversion, why not pick a book from the library and read?

The bright and roomy well-equipped kitchen has several upgrades from its original design! For those who like to cook, you will appreciate the cooking control that comes with the modern gas stove. There's a microwave for snacks, warm-ups, and movie popcorn. Plenty of room in the fridge for your cold stuff. Gather 'round the big table in the separate dining area when the meal's done. If it's a nice, sunny day, use it as an excuse for an old-fashioned barbecue on the gas grill in the backyard. Clean-up is made easier with the double sink and dishwasher.

This charming home's bedrooms are accessible via two separate staircases. At the top of this staircase by the front entrance, you'll be greeted by a small table with four comfy chairs: perfect for a game of cards before bed. White walls, more skylights, and bright colors make this a cheerful space. One bedroom has a TV for late-night viewing, and the another has a big window with a view of the grounds.

The loft above the garage serves as the primary suite with a TV and full bath - perfect for a couple who'd like a little more privacy. When the laundry starts piling up, take care of it in the utility room, where you'll find a washer/dryer.

Make Spruce Landing in scenic Gearhart your next getaway haven, and enjoy its combination of luxury, convenience, and proximity to sites and activities on the Oregon Coast!
