About this house rental
Heceta Haven – A Family Cabin by the Sea
Heceta Haven isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place that has been lived in, loved, and added to slowly over the decades, the way a well‑worn family quilt grows softer and more meaningful with time. What began as a tiny one‑room cabin in 1945 has gradually expanded into the cozy 1,200‑square‑foot retreat it is today. You can still feel the spirit of that original cabin in the creak of the floorboards, the glow of the afternoon light, and the way the ocean breeze drifts up from the beach.
Tucked at the very end of a quiet dead‑end lane — one of the oldest in Heceta Beach — the house sits in a peaceful pocket of the neighborhood that feels wonderfully removed from the world. A short walk down a wooded trail brings you straight to the sand. It’s the kind of path families remember long after the trip is over.
Inside, the open‑beamed ceilings welcome you with the easy familiarity of a place that has hosted generations of gatherings. The dining room and kitchen share one bright, inviting space where pancake breakfasts, rainy‑day puzzles, and late‑night conversations have unfolded for decades. From the dining table, you can catch a glimpse of the ocean, a quiet reminder that the waves are always nearby. The small bar counter has long been a favorite spot for kids’ crafts, coloring books, and snack breaks.
The galley kitchen is compact but thoughtfully stocked with everything needed for family meals. It’s simple, practical, and full of the kind of touches that make cooking together feel effortless.
On either side of the main living area, you’ll find two queen bedrooms and two cozy sitting rooms. Each sitting room includes a fold‑flat sofa, offering extra sleeping space or a comfortable nook for reading. The master bedroom has its own bathroom with a shower‑tub combo and a 32‑inch Roku TV, blending modern comfort with the cabin’s timeless character.
Toward the back of the house, the family room opens up into a spacious, welcoming area. Overstuffed chairs, a rocking chair, a sofa, and a glider rocker create plenty of room for everyone to settle in. There’s a peek of the ocean from here as well, just enough to remind you that the beach is close. Step out onto the deck to listen to the surf or watch the sky turn gold at sunset.
Heceta Haven offers parking in both the front and back, making it easy to bring small trailers, ATVs, or a boat. Over the years, the home has been lovingly updated: new carpet in 2018, LVP flooring throughout the main areas, fresh interior and exterior paint, a new dining table in 2019, a remodeled master bath in 2020, a refreshed main bath in 2021, and new appliances added through 2023. Each improvement was made with care, preserving the cabin’s original charm while making it more comfortable for returning families.
It’s the kind of place where memories settle in quietly and stay with you long after you’ve gone home.

We had an excellent time during our stay in Florence. The place was big enough to let us spread out after long days at the beach. It was also very private, which I personally appreciated immensely and the walk to the beach was 2 minutes. I would recommend a better a coffee maker.

The home was well stocked and generally clean. It is super private, on a dead end road. The beach access is way better than expected. Literally a minute walk right off the front porch, to a great spot. The septic was overflowing in the yard after just two children had a short shower and I did dishes. One of the back sheds is unlocked and absolutely disgusting inside. My children are outside, feral farm children... they found it and stayed away. But it could be a potential safety risk to someone else. This place has TONS of potential and easily accommodates 8 people. Affordable. Needs some tlc though.

This is a great little house. Clean, cozy and close to the beach. There is lots of room to spread out in the house and lots of things to explore in the Florence area. We greatly enjoyed our stay.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2021
This is not the Ritz Carlton...it is a beach cabin with some rough edges. . At the same time, it is functional and clean and perfectly serviceable if you can live without pampering. We did not fix meals in the cabin, but simple meals would be possible. Wifi works well, tv has streaming options most of which mystified our group. If you pick this place, you will stay dry, sleep reasonably well, and not need a teatnus shop.
