370 S Franklin St, Seaside, OR, 97138

(Approved vacation rental for one bedroom only. If you want larger home to buy to rent to larger groups, please do not request viewing because this little house isn't for you.)
Gorgeous little vintage cottage with much of its original whitewashed beadboard and a gas fireplace in the heart of downtown Seaside on an elevated corner lot complete with white picket fence. A fun vacation retreat that currently more than pays for itself as a wonderfully successful Airbnb tiny house performer. In 2016, Gull Cottage earned $31,000 in vacation rentals. Current Airbnb records reflect owner grossed approximately $35,000 for 2017 vacation stay rents. Second floor with two non conforming attic bedrooms is not rented and completely private and locked off during guest stays. Buyer and agent to do due diligence with respect to historic income and future potential for income expansion. Gull Cottage has been completely pet and smoke free! A great cleaner and a handyman's phone numbers come with the cottage.
Five minute walk to beach and just a block off the main charming bustle of Broadway Street. Please drive by it before contacting me if possible. It's frequently occupied by happy guests on vacation. Do not disturb vacation guests. I'm selling it without a listing agent, but I will pay the standard 3% commission to buyer's broker. The existing listing and reviews to be transferred to new owner if the new owner wishes to rent it out on Airbnb. The city requires new owner to apply for and pay application fee for vacation rental because the permit does not automatically transfer. The city approved cottage in 2019 as meeting all requirements as a ONE BEDROOM vacation rental and permit has been renewed each year since then. All Airbnb rental records and several hundred stellar guest reviews available to interested purchaser.
If you want something newer and bigger, this is not for you. This is a mini vintage beachy gem with a compact stove and dishwasher. Full size fridge in kitchen. Gull Cottage is little and old but tough. She's weathered all that Oregon Coast storms could throw at her since 1926!!!
Hot tub. Gazebo. GARAGE.
Gull has THREE bathrooms. 1926 vintage details. CURRENTLY LICENSED VACATION RENTAL. Fully furnished & decorated in vintage nautical. Furnishings, dishware, etc. can transfer to new owner for seamless turn-key transition. Low maintenance/no mow yard with pebble paths, shells, & driftwood. Instant fun and relaxation!! Lovely master with large original casement window. Quaint lodgy upstairs attic bedrooms featuring 3 twin beds. Second floor sink and toilet. The whole cottage feels like being on a ship complete with distant ocean sounds and breezes. Elevated fenced corner lot. Short walk to the beach and south for the serenity of the quiet end of the Promenade walk or go left a block and a half north to multiple happy hours, best chowder, seafood and homemade ice cream with plenty of fun for the kids too. It's two blocks to Pig N Pancake!! Full-time occupancy? Investment? Beach fun retreat? Or both? You decide.

Reasons for selling---Gull Cottage is a wonderful beach getaway, but I am getting older (70's now) and it's time to let go. Home is currently profitable so owner is in no immediate rush to sell. Owner has not listed house with realtor or marketed it. No sign in the yard. It's just here quietly on Zillow for the next owner to luck into by chance :)
