This cute two-bedroom Florence vacation rental is an idyllic retreat for a family getaway or gathering of friends. Tucked behind coastal foliage and trees and only a few blocks from the gorgeous Pacific Ocean, indulge in sun-kissed beach days at this oceanside home.

From this charming bungalow, there's a leisurely path to the beach at Driftwood Shores Resort just down the road. You'll find a long sandy beach to explore where you can fly a kite or roll your pant legs up and play in the surf! Local attractions include Florence's historic Old Town area for shopping, galleries, and restaurants. The surrounding inland lakes offer fishing while golf fanatics will appreciate the Rhodo Dunes Golf Course. The pristine Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a must, but if you don't feel like driving you can spend hours whale watching right from the beach!

The wraparound front porch complete with patio furniture welcomes guests upon their arrival. It's just the place for a cup of coffee or an afternoon cup of tea while enjoying a few chapters of your latest read. And when you step through the front door, you'll find the interior is just as inviting.

The cozy living room features a collection of comfortable furniture, wooden shelves filled with books, and ocean-themed throw pillows. You'll instantly feel at home in this well-loved beach house with the wood burning stone fireplace to keep you warm on chilly coast nights. There is also a flat screen TV with cable, a DVD player and collection of DVDs to choose from for a movie night or marathon of your favorite show when you don't feel up to venturing outdoors.

The eat-in kitchen is brightly decorated and includes all the necessary cooking utensils for gourmet dinners or light snacks. Use the refrigerator, stovetop/oven and microwave to prepare fresh seafood ingredients in the comfort of your beach house. You'll have everything you need from plates, silverware, and wine glasses to pots, pans and a dishwasher to keep cleanup simple. The wooden dining table is perfect for buffet-style lunches, while out on the porch there's a grill and picnic table so you can enjoy your meal with some sunshine.

There will be no arguing with the kids when it's their bedtime, as the little ones will be treated to a whimsical room all their own. They can sail away to dreamland in a bunk bed shaped like a boat with the company of friendly ocean creatures in the undersea mural. Two additional bedrooms each have a comfortable queen-sized bed. The master suite even has its own TV and DVD player as well as a private bathroom with a romantic claw foot tub - Just open the windows and let the ocean's rhythmic waves lull you to sleep in this peaceful room.

When you're looking for some quiet repose, the top level loft is a great, surf shack-style ocean-view room. Come up here to read, socialize, or just enjoy the beautiful Heceta Beach scenery. And of course, there's also the outdoor hot tub on the deck adding the final touch on everything you need for a blissful and relaxing getaway.

When you unfold the sleeper sofa downstairs, this home can comfortably accommodate eight guests. And don't leave your canine friends behind! Bring the dogs along for some quality time running and playing on the beach, though a nightly fee per dog and a minimum fee per stay will apply. Wi-Fi is also included in this home if you feel inclined to check your email during your ocean getaway.

With its free-spirited yet luxurious decor, this cherished beach house is sure to charm guests of all ages during your next visit to the endearing oceanside town of Florence.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

It would have been helpful to have instructions on how and if the heater worked. Also the instruction about how to leave the house in the house before we left . We got them after we arrived home. Not the owners fault,. Step -up Vacasa. Called Vacasa about the heat they really weren't helpful. The house was super clean. and very quiet.

Desperately needs new furniture
When we got there the ladies that were cleaning were just finishing up and leaving. One of them made sure to tell me how hard they worked to clean and refill the hot tub and asked me to “please not get it dirty again”, lol. The house could be super cute if the furniture wasn’t decades old and pretty much destroyed. My husband and I joked about buying and donating a nicer recliner from goodwill so the house would have one piece of decent furniture. The fridge was literally duct taped together inside. So we couldn’t put anything too heavy on the door shelves or the bottom shelf. The tv was the smallest I’ve ever seen in a vacation home. I’m just going to stop here because I feel bad and usually don’t say anything if it’s not nice but I definitely would not spend money to stay here again.

Fun Place
The house was in a great location, short walk to the beach. Interesting details and architecture. There was a problem with the electrical outlets and the heater wouldn’t come on. Vacasa responded quickly and send someone over with a space heater. We went and bought wood to use the fireplace and that was perfect. Don’t stay here if you’re afraid to build a fire or you’ll freeze!

It was delightfully relaxing. Loved the hot tub and a place was just what we needed. The only issue we had was the walkway to the house was overgrown with bushes and evergreen blackberries.

Overall it was a successful stay. House is cozy and has a fun layout. Great to have toys and books with TVs in the rooms, kitchen was stocked. Beds were comfortable, sheets were soft. Great to be able to bring the dog. Close short 5 min walk to the huge beach. Some cleanliness points left something to be desired, cobwebs on model sailboats, mildew/mold on windows, towels smelled like stale butter popcorn. Hot tub buttons were broken and tub was already sandy when we arrived. Overall it was good and would recommend.

Family weekend away
Got away for a weekend before Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the hot tub, cooked together (kitchen was pretty well stocked with things you might need) (we bring all our own favorite cooking things), and had a fire to keep the place warm. It was a bit drafty - it was a very blustery afternoon/night - so bring your house slippers and get ready for a nice coastal getaway.

Beautiful house and location
The house was well set up, beautifully decorated, and loved the easy access to the beach and private hot tub. We did notice that there was a lack of cleanliness with dog hair covering the rugs and furniture, sand in the hot tub, and dirty fireplace hearth. Whenever we sat down we would come away with dog hair on our clothing or charcoal stains if we set things down on the hearth. The downstairs toilet handle kept falling off, and screws were loose in the upstairs bathroom door which prevented it from shutting. Without the fireplace in use, the downstairs was quite cold and the small standing heater had a hard time warming such a big space. Bathrooms were very clean, as well as linens and towels. Upon notifying the property management, they were highly responsive and did offer to send a cleaner to take care of the mess mid-stay. We appreciated the communication and opted to finish our stay before a crew came in, and we're satisfied overall with both the house and management.

Worst experience In a vacation home
from the moment we arrived it was horrable.. We were greeted by another person in the driveway renting a shack on the same property....From there it only gets worse.. this is a 3 story very tall house with kids rooms up stairs with No safety locks on windows or screens.. Very ran down house.. Pet friendly..Hmmm How about the ant poison packets all over?? So glad my dog had to stay in her kennel the entire stay...The front door has holes and cracks thru it....The TOILET doenst work and Not a single heater in the entire house worked...When we contacted the rental Company VACASA they told us we could leave and go home...Thats a 5 hour drive with my kids and dog in the middle of the night...I could write a book on how bad and unsafe this place is!!!! and we have tons of pictures to show....We would like a refund as this is absolutly unexcusable......

This is a charming little house with a lot of character in a great location.
It is a bit of a walk uphill to get to the house from the parking. Once inside it is very charming but we found dirty pans in the cupboard and the house smelled like bacon. The beds are low quality and uncomfortable. The garbage disposal was jammed and the wall heat units did not function properly (on/off). The TV spent more time buffering than playing movies. You need to watch your step one the stairs outside and the towels smelled musty or something,other than that, it is a great place to stay for that price range. We stayed mids week.

A comfortable, older home. Not fancy but nice. Has what you need. Great location. Walk to wide, flat beach. Within 25 miles North; Yachats, Devil's Churn, Heceta Head Lighthouse, Sea Lion's Cave and many pictuesque turnouts. Within 12 miles South; Florence, dunes, Honeyman State Park. Wifi is slow, cell coverage too. Not handicap useable (short climb to front door). Overall, we enjoyed it.

Quaint and Unique
This is a very unique house. It has decent access to the beach which is just round the corner (short 5 min walk) but one must be careful about cars coming around the corner. There was a slight smell of mold in the lower bedroom but opening the window helped (just be aware if you are mold sensitive). The couch is a "hide-a-bed" and the mattress is unusable, so don't count on it as a place for people to sleep. The hot tub is nice to use. There is also a small "shack" at on the property that can be rented separately, so if you only are using the house, don't be surprised (like we were) if a stranger parks next to you and is using the "shack". It is on a hill and has no ADA access, so if anyone has movement limitations, be aware of this as well in making your decision.

We checked in and immediately called property manager for a refund. Home is not safely heated. Space heaters in rooms with missing knobs. Furniture, rugs and linens stained. Hot tub lukewarm.

A lot to offer!
Home is nicer in appearance than the picture. On a knoll but tucked away. Well kept and supplied. Pleasantly rustic. Seafaring decor. Spacious. 3 story high cathedral ceiling in main living area. Large fieldstone wood-burning fireplace. Comfy furniture. Country kitchen/dining. Large wrap-around porch with nice grill, picnic table and sweet hot tub. A short walk to the beach, can hear the waves. Clawfoot tub in one bathroom, large shower in the other. Interesting rooms for kids - they'd love it! Neighborhood seems very safe. Maybe not first class in any area, but five star as far as my experience. But then I love rustic and cozy casual, soaking in a tub and warming by a fire. If you do too - Book it. Negative: Small TVs with Dish Basic only. But maybe that's a positive.

beautiful spot needs attention
It felt like this property could use a deep clean big time. And some TLC overall. Lighting was inadequate, light in fridge out, bedding really old, etc. It is a great house, but it definitely needs a more thorough overview and replacement of older items.
