Pros:

It was close to the shops, places to eat in Gearhart. I liked how comfortable the bed was. The room we had was really comfortable. It was quiet. We could walk to places in town. I really appreciated the parking. The little kitchen was nice.

Posto incantevole vicino all’oceano
Pros:

La posizione vicino alla spiaggia
La camera accogliente e pulita
Le biciclette a disposizione per gli ospiti
La legna per il braciere in giardino

Cons:

La colazione: viene servita in un cestino davanti alla porta della camera alle 8:15/30 (tardi se si hanno attività in programma). Contiene frutta, succhi, un muffin e un’altro pezzo che non so cosa sia. Niente uova putroppo e la qualità è scarsa. La struttura è bella e dovrebbe investire di più su questo aspetto a mio parere. Siamo andati a fare colazione fuori anche se la colazione era inclusa nel prezzo.

Excellent, unique charming property. Highly recommend.
Pros:

It was super cute and they thought of everything. A deluxe continental breakfast was delivered every morning to your door. There’s also a great outdoor area to spend time in. They have a fire pit and you can purchase a s’mores kit. Walkable to the ocean, coffee shops, ice cream, and a very nice restaurant. Staff were super nice.

Beautiful cottage in walking range of beach and cute shops.
Pros:

The place is about 15 minutes walking distance from a public access beach, and the beach is gorgeous (soft, small grain sand, barely any debris but lots of non-harmful jellyfish). It is also right next to a bakery and a coffee shop. It was a great base for us while we explored Astoria and the coast. We did have an incident where we couldn't get into our original room (got a king in the back of the complex) but our customer service rep was responsive, got on the phone with us to troubleshoot and then also got us into another room as soon as she was able. I would say the service was amazing because we also found out that everyone gets a basket for free of breakfast items. Got two donuts, two bagels, two fruits and two juices. The bed was comfortable and so was the couch in the living room. The bathroom was comfortable for use and they have a fridge and microwave which was handy for our trip. It was such an amazing stay!

Cons:

We weren't sure how to work the AC. We came in the summer during a slight heat wave, and we would tinker with the panel but saw no difference. We ended up having to open windows at dusk and hope it cooled down the place, which it kinda did but not enough to be super comfortable for sleeping.

Sweet spot with free bikes and breakfast!
Pros:

Loved the access to bikes and the location was lovely. Staff was kind and breakfast was a nice treat! I left a book behind accidentally and they were very thoughtful about mailing it back to me.

Cons:

Staff could be be difficult to locate at times and seemed to be pulled in several directions. Check in procedures were a little unclear and confusing, but felt like everyone was making effort to communicate.

Pros:

The garage with bikes and beach chairs was awesome!

Cons:

the blinds don’t block light so it was streaming in hitting our faces in the morning and the people walking around outside in the morning on the gravel is really loud.

Pros:

The suite we stayed in was super cute. I appreciated that we had a full kitchen. The staff was kind and thoughtful. I think my favorite part was its proximity to the beach and bakery/dining/market option. It is in an area quiet enough and far enough from the hustle and bustle of busier Seaside, but close enough to grocery stores and busier parts of town.

Cons:

I can't really think of anything that I didn't like.
