The Latourette House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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! Will yours be next?

Quirky Old House
This house was huge and great for our large family. A great quiet location. It is an old house and the bathrooms were pretty small. We really appreciated being able to use the washer and dryer.

Annual Sibs Reunion
The house is a beautiful old Victorian style house. We had a wonderful time. The kitchen has been updated and if very will stocked with dishware, silverware, glassware and cooking utensils. The rest of the house is still very much like it was when it was built. It was fun to see the old style light switches in the Living room, and imagine the family that had spent many fun summers at this house. There were a cobwebs and dust bunnies, which is the reason for the 4 stars rating instead of the 5 stars. Other than that it is a wonderful location and lovely home to spend a bit of time at the coast.

Great for families
We had a lovely stay - the house was perfect for our needs. The house is old but has charm and is kept in really excellent condition. Plenty of places to sleep, well stocked kitchen, and the sun room is so comfortable and delightful!

family beach gathering
this property was quaint and charming. Very old and in good condition for the age of property. A little further from beach to do more than a daily walk for this 75 year old. But it is an east access trail. Loved the decor and abundance of towels and supplies. Clean.

Beautiful home, very poor property management team!
Loved the home, the property management team was not great. Made an error on the listing for a hot tub, wrong WiFi password, wrong key box code, overflowing garbage cans that took three days to resolve.

Great Home!!!
What a wonderful place to stay. It was very comfortable and surprisingly so given its age. The history of the home was fun to learn about. It was beautiful and perfectly located. Plenty of room for large gatherings and still easy even with young children. Can't wait to come back!

Great historic hiuse
We loved the charm and history of the house. Having the large lot to play on was perfect for our family. Would be nice to have queen beds instead of full size beds for couples that have to sleep together. We would definitely stay here again!

Old home with character in a cute neighborhood
My family enjoyed our stay at this house but it was not without some surprises. The home is smaller than I expected but the front room is very nice and sunny. The layout of the home is a bit quirky. The shower and bathroom in the yellow room is very tiny but the bathroom and shower downstairs is decent size. My boys loved the old bathtub in the 3rd bathroom. I do wish the green and blue rooms had queen beds instead of twins. We did not use the graffiti room as it was far too chilly. We did have an incident with the stove. It is an older stove/oven and I don't think the temperature was regulating correctly and one of the dishes broke in the oven. Another thing to note is that the windows do not open at all. We would have loved to have fresh air moving through the house. The beach was much further than we expected and our 3 year old was not a fan of the walk. Overall we did enjoy the home but I really do wish the owners would take time to upgrade certain things while keeping the integrity of the home.

Very neat old house.
We looked it up and saw that this was the first house in Gearhart, loved the historical aspect. Only complaint was that a double bed in the room with one single would be much more convenient.
