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.

    We loved the charm of this home -- lots of vintage character mixed with some newer construction. Awesome wrap around porch and the hot tub was clutch! I really appreciate that the pet fee was built in to the advertised rate. Weather was fabulous.Very good location, although no direct route to beach. Drivers really fly on the road (Kiwanda/Heceta Beach Rd to 1st Ave) and do not typically slow for pedestrians. No sidewalks and the shoulder is largely nonexistent. Only wish would be for a little more sun on the deck/porch. Note: The beach towels were stinky (mildew). Should soak in vinegar and wash on hot. Also, a product called Nature's Miracle is the absolute best for removing organic stains (pet). (We did find dog pee on one corner upstairs.)What I didn't appreciate was the hounding re: cleanliness and repeated questions about how our stay was going from Vacasa after we checked in. WE ARE ON VACATION, STOP BUGGING US! There was an offer to stay an additional night, but when I inquired, the charge was 2.5x the rate I paid for the other nights...if anything, Vacasa should offer a 4th night discount rather than let the house sit empty! (Note: the Vacasa attendant did come back to me with an offer of 1.5x the rate after I declined the original, but we decided not to stay a 4th night after all.)

    We absolutely love this property. The only issues we had this time around were the hot tub having some issues (which they tried to fix, but it was only a temporary fix), and some items left behind in the freezer that we weren't quite sure how to handle.

    Wonderful stay overall. The hot tub wasn't ready for us, and when I called vacasa, they explained that it was guest responsibility to turn on and wait for it to get to temperature. I don't think I'll return because of how that was handled. Home and location and hot tub was lovely. Rode horses on the beach nearby.

    Clean rustic beach house. Pictures are old. Old home with older furniture. Expect your grandpas beach getaway not on the beach. Great fun. Hot tub was good. Beds are normal. Adventures to be at. Price was right for family 5 of us. Hot water was good in showers. Better than booking two hotel rooms for twice the money. Kids loved the tower. My 13 yr old decided not to sleep in the bunk bed and loved rhe tower to read a book looking at the ocean. Food was amazing for Gluten Dairy Free. Fun time.

    Not clean and the heating unit didn’t work. Ther also was a homeless man digging thru our trash and blocking the driveway when I tried to leave. There are better places to stay in Florence
