The Latourette House

This lovely and historic home in Gearhart is amazing! Super clean and very unique. I really loved the location, the feel of the home, and the views out every window. It was like being almost alone but close to town. Very stocked kitchen, super clean bathrooms, comfortable beds. Also, there was a painting hanging up in one of the bedrooms that was in my home when I was growing up - a painting that I just adore. I loved this house!

What a charming and delightful old house! The big sun room was such a wonderful gathering place, and the trees and shrubs all around made a delightful view even when it was raining. There are some creaky floors and sound travels in such an old home, but we had a great time!

I like historic houses!

The wooded property, you felt like you were in the woods at the coast, but it’s only an 11 minute walk. The path to the beach is scenic and a bench midway. Perfect for changing into shoes and brushing off the now dry sand. We had 6 yo to 81 yo with a cane who did the walk. The home has kept all the charm but modernized in the right places. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances made for a large family (we were 6-9ppl over our week there). The dining table could seat up to 11 with the various chairs. So much seating and space in the living/family room. We set up a 6’ folding table for a hard puzzle for the entire stay and people could still move around. We also spent a lot of time eating and gathering outdoors. Either in front of the house or at the picnic table and chairs around the fire pit to the side. They set it up well. It’s enclosed by these fragrant floral shrubs that keep you cool and keep off the evening mist. NOTE: There are two TVs, but they are small. One is 17” and the other 27” maybe? Both upstairs in bedrooms. It was actually perfect for us since the whole point is to get away from screen time, but great for some snuggle and downtime. WiFi is good. Bathrooms are vintage but updated enough. Washer and dryer rocked! And there’s a sandbox! If you want a vacation out of a Wes Anderson movie (all the quirky charm and still comfortable, this is the place. Other notes: The beds seemed sketch, but were totally stable and comfortable. I slept better than my own bed! They have this bunk room, that’s a screened in addition to the house with siding on the interior wall. 4 beds. And the best “signature book” all over the walls and ceiling. Sharpie and chalk pending surface; bring both! They have quite a few games (Scrabble for sure) and puzzles, but we brought our own. They give you at least two days of coffee, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, liquid soap and sponge to help with shopping. SO well appointed! Bday candles, foil, Saran Wrap, SO MANY plates and utensils! They left a hand picked wildflower nose hat in a jelly jar on the vintage kitchen table❤️ IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE PNW: It’s 10 minutes door to door to the Carousel Mall in Seaside. Downtown Gearhart is super charming spend an hour two there a day. Cannon Beach is probably 20ish minutes away.

Interesting photos. I liked the front room and kitchen.

Been coming here for years and always great
