Wife and I stayed for my birthday weekend. The room was very clean and had everything we might need for the weekend. Abby was exceptionally pleasant and took great care to ensure we had everything we needed.
The location is also perfect for visiting both Seaside just south, or Astoria a bit north. We will definitely stay here again.
Very cute place with lots of amenities and walking distance to a very good restaurant and golf.

I just love how quiet and cozy this place at your heart in general is. It's easy to drive to Astoria to go shopping. Go out for a meal. Come back for a nap and less than 20 minutes. Also be in downtown Cannon Beach. You walk a couple of blocks and there's access to a much quieter beach than in Cannon Beach or Long Beach. And as a McMenamin fan, the fact that it's close to the McMenamins restaurant.
When we checked in our bed was soaked so they did move our room and upgrade us which was nice. We did not receive a complimentary welcome drink though. The morning pastries were too stale to eat, the couch was uncomfortable and the bed was too hard for me. It also would have been nice if staff brought fresh towels to the room daily but otherwise it’s a cute property.
Was such a lovely stay! My heart sband and I stayed at many different places during our time in Oregon and this place was by far my favorite! Excellent customer service,
Drifthaven is undeniably charming: beautifully designed, cozy, and nestled in a peaceful part of Gearhart. I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, my stay ended with a serious injury due to a safety issue in the room that I feel compelled to share.
On the last morning of my stay, around 4am, I went downstairs to use the restroom. The stairs inside the room are not lit, and the banister ends on the second-to-last step, which makes it deceptive to navigate in low light. Because of the banister situation, I missed the final step, tripped, and fell hard, so badly that I could barely walk and had to go to Urgent Care that morning. My spouse had to drive out from Portland and pick me up, and I had to cut my trip short and cancel a work conference commitment due to the injury.
I informed staff immediately, and they said they’d notify the manager and follow up. I never heard back. I also submitted feedback via email the day after I left, still nothing. Between the medical bills, the disruption to my work, and the lack of response, I’m really disappointed.
I’m sharing this in hopes that management will take this seriously. Installing small lights along the stairs would be a simple fix that could prevent future accidents. I expected more attentiveness from a place that clearly puts so much care into its aesthetic and I am disappointed. I would love to stay here again, but would like the safety lights installed and for the customer service to improve first.
Lovely feel to each apartment. Small but adorable. Excellent service including a welcome cocktail and a continental breakfast. Bikes and beach chairs are included and the back yard is lovely. We will be back!

Extremely overpriced!
Extremely tiny room with micro furniture. Recently remodeled. Bed was very low and extremely soft. The pilot on the gas stove in the room wouldn’t turn off and the interior temp was 79 degrees with all of the windows open. Extremely overpriced at more than $2/sqrt ft per night. Worst value ever!
Nice small hotel, quiet, loke a mini apartment, nice village bakery across the street, excelle t for breakfast, short walk to beach, not crowded at all.
Very nice place and very clean. The staff are friendly. We got everything we needed. A little tight for a family of five. Other than that a very nice and cozy getaway
We recently stayed here for a few nights with our grandchildren. We stayed in Cottage 11. We loved having access to the garage full of beach toys, chairs, BBQ, picnic tables and fire pits for s’mores!
We enjoyed a delicious welcome cocktail after arrival. So thoughtful. What put this place over the top for us was the beautiful breakfast basket delivered to our door every morning.
This will definitely be our forever stay when in Gearhart. Thank you!
Wonderful bungalow that was like a retro mini home with welcome drinks, to purchase snacks and drinks in the room, and breakfast delivered. I wish I could stay longer! Highly recommend!!

Disliked: Amenities
The decor and overall concept are really cute, and the space felt cozy, which I appreciated. That said, there’s definitely room for improvement. The unit we stayed in had an unpleasant odor, the shower pressure was weak, and the bathroom was a bit cramped—with some visible mold on the shower curtain, which wasn’t ideal. The mattress wasn’t firm enough for me, and the ceiling fan didn’t work, which made it hard to get proper air circulation. With a few updates, this could be a much more comfortable stay.
