The RiverFront

You won't believe the views from this lovely one-bedroom Florence vacation rental, positioned at the end of the historic Siuslaw River Bridge! Step out onto the private deck and soak up the unparalleled views of the river, the bridge, and the sandy dunes just across the water. Walk to the shops and restaurants in charming downtown Florence, or simply relax at home with your own private waterfront dining table.

This lower-level apartment is sunny and feels surprisingly spacious for its size, thanks to the expansive windows that line the riverfront walls. Settle into the plush sofa or loveseat and enjoy a movie on the corner TV, complete with cable and a DVD player for movie nights. There's also WiFi available, so if you'd like to catch up on emails during your stay, you can do so while lounging before the wide windows and soaking up the scenery.

Florence is full of delightful seafood restaurants and laid-back pubs, but you may decide to savor your own home cooking as you take in the views from the kitchen and dining table. The kitchen is complete with everything you'll need for preparing a light breakfast or hearty seafood chowder for dinner, from its refrigerator, oven with stovetop, and dishwasher to countertop gadgets like a slow cooker and mixer.

The bedroom is airy and light, with a quilt-covered queen bed and a second TV so you can listen to your favorite late-night talk show host as you drift to sleep... although, you may find that sound of the Siuslaw lapping the banks outside your window makes a more relaxing lullaby.

The full bath has a tub/shower combo and lots of counter space, so it will be easy to get ready for a big day of exploring beautiful Florence. There's even a washer/dryer available so you never have to worry about a wet bathing suit or kayaking gear!

Florence itself is a lovely coastal town, with local coffee shops and cafes to keep you sustained as you stroll the antique shops, peruse the art galleries, or visit the history museum. Just north of town is the stunningly picturesque Heceta Head Lighthouse at Devil's Elbow State Park, and the nearby Sea Lion Caves are a can't-miss if you're traveling with youngsters or animal lovers.

For adventure, those dunes you see across the river are the beginning of the expansive Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area: head out for a unique afternoon of sand boarding or take a ride in a dune buggy. Or, simply grab the house's beach chairs and head out for a relaxing day on one of the coast's most beautiful sandy beaches.

Whether you want to window-shop in a quaint coastal town or explore the scenery and adventure of the Southern Oregon Coast, this riverfront Florence vacation rental is an ideal home base for your getaway!
