Heceta House and Fisherman's Cottage

When you're heading to the Oregon Coast with a crowd, you'll want to consider this cute two bedroom Florence vacation home with its cozy next door cottage! Here you'll be right in the Heceta Beach area, so you can easily walk to the beach or just stay in and relax in the private hot tub. Ideal for a group where a couple of the members want a bit more privacy, the main home will sleep eight, while the cottage is nice and cozy for two. And don't worry, up to three dogs can join in on the vacation fun! The main house has a true beach bungalow feel, with a large wrap-around porch, perfect for gathering everyone around for a cookout or outdoor cocktails. Inside, a cozy living room beckons all to come in and find their favorite spot. There's a TV with Dish Network and a DVD player for entertainment, as well as large as a wood burning fireplace for keeping everyone nice and toasty on chilly winter evenings. When it's time for meals, the bright eat-in kitchen will not disappoint! Set the table with plates, glasses, and silverware so everyone can dig into a delicious vacation meal. Here you'll have all the major appliances for food preparation, including a dishwasher to take care of the mess. It's easy to set up a buffet-style feast and let everyone dig in, whether it's homemade clam chowder and bread or a big pot of spaghetti and meatballs. A vacation getaway that is perfect for everyone includes a whimsical kids' room - and you'll certainly have that here! Little ones can sail off to dreamland in a bunk bed set that incorporates an undersea mural and boat-like frame. And for the adults, there are two additional bedrooms - each with a queen sized bed. The master bedroom even has its own TV with a DVD player and lovely private bathroom, complete with a claw foot tub. For more sleeping options, there's a sleeper sofa in the living room. The last part of the main house to explore is the amazing top level loft. This is a great, beach-y, surf-shack-style space boasting beautiful Heceta Beach views. It's an ideal location for taking it easy in the afternoon, socializing, and enjoying a glass of wine with friends. Of course, perhaps the best place to relax is outside in the hot tub. After a day of hiking on the beach or just out exploring the town of Florence, just sit back and soothe those sore muscles while gazing up at the night sky. For two members of your group that want to share a private space, just a few feet away is the adorable Fisherman's Cottage! Filled with reclaimed wood accents, a kitchenette, a small sitting area and a TV and a DVD player, there's no better place for some quiet time. There's also a queen sized bed and a bathroom, with the sink right outside for added convenience. A lucky couple can retreat to their own space whenever they want to get away. And when meals in the main house aren't on the agenda, the small kitchen area includes the basics - a microwave, mini-fridge, coffeemaker, and a small eating area. It's ideal for warming up leftovers, preparing light breakfasts, or making microwave popcorn to go along with a midnight movie. The cottage will sleep two guests and one dog, while the main house will sleep eight guests and two dogs - though a nightly fee per dog and a minimum fee per stay will apply. From your Florence retreat, access to Heceta Beach is only a few blocks away. Spend the days on a beautiful, long stretch of sandy beach while flying kites, hunting for shells, or building sandcastles. There's room to run with the dogs and play frisbee with the kids. The main attractions in the town of Florence are just to the south. There's the Old Town historic district, with its galleries and restaurants, fishing in one of the nearby lakes, or golfing at the Sandpines Golf Links. Also, a stay in Florence wouldn't be complete without a day trip to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, only thirty miles south. There's so much to do here, that you'll never want to leave. This Florence vacation rental is ideal for your next friend and family getaway. Plan a stay to play on the beach, soak in the hot tub, and explore this unique section of the Oregon Coast, all from this one-of-a-kind, beachside retreat. You must be 21 years or older to rent this property.
