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.

Cute little home
Nice little home only a few blocks from the the beach. Nice deck and an awesome little kids room that our toddler was obsessed with. The hot tube could use some TLC but still works. WiFi wasn't the greatest. The top room is fun to look out and see the ocean. Property is close to downtown Florence which is nice for a quick tip and back for dinner and such. Definitely would stay again.

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.

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.

Birthday getaway
We rented this property for my husband's birthday. We needed pets allowed, a hot tub and walking distance to the beach. Our only complaint is that the hot was drained when we got there. Staff did come fill it but not until the next day. We only stayed 2 nights and the hot tub was the main reason for renting this property so that was very disappointing. Other than that everything was great.

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.

Very pleasant place for adults and kids
We had a great long weekend at Heceta House. We loved being able to use the hot tub and dry our bathing suits and towels in the dryer so they would be ready for next use. We all thought the beds and pillows were comfortable. We loved the third floor "bird's nest" room with the view of the ocean. We also liked how close the walk to the beach access is. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, etc but was a little lacking in forks and spoons. We had everything we needed for a fun, pleasant stay. Parking can be tricky if you have multiple vehicles, as there are 4 spots total that you share with another, smaller unit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return again to Heceta House.

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!

We loved how close to the beach it was and how close it was to shopping it was. The place was pretty neat and different from other places we've stayed. The only thing that was a little difficult was the lack of viewable house number from the street so it was a little difficult getting to at night. And the hill from the drive to the door was a little steep to carry everything up with infants. Otherwise, the place was clean and cozy

Ocean nearby
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.

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.

Rustic home in walking distance from beach
Enjoyed the house overall for it's spacious kitchen, rustic & nautical feel. The tiny room on third level with view of ocean was a hidden treat. Full deck was also a plus. My rating falls short of a 5 because of inadequate response to our call for help with defective heating. House was extremely cold with nonfunctional heater. After calls for help and promises of someone coming 'shortly', we were left waiting until 10am the following day. We were told that the heating unit could not be repaired and needed to be replaced. Meanwhile, we had to use two small portable space heaters, we found in the house, to heat this 3 bedroom, 3 storied house. No further assistance was provided.

Amazing trip, house and stay... poor communication
The staff was wonderful, the house was AMAZING. I loved the hottub and fire place. Being so close to the beach was wonderful. I have no complaints about the house or the stay... BUT there was a small cottage that was in the same property. You have the choice of renting the house or the cottage or both. We had just rented the house and the other cottage got rented out too. I wish we had gotten informed about this because we got a loud knock on our door around 9pm and was told to move our cars. The lady was rude and we were all heading to bed around the time she showed up. Then she and her friend had one car each making the parking nearly impossible to get in and out of our cars. All could have been avoided or at least more understandable if the company had at least emailed me about this other renter; especially since it's all the same property.

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......
