Dog-Friendly Getaway with Outdoor Firepit & Balcony - Steps from Beach Access

Day Dreamer

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A small family, two traveling couples, or a few close friends will love staying at this charming Florence getaway, which offers easy access to the beach and typical home comforts including free WiFi, cable, and a private washer/dryer. A second-floor balcony provides partial ocean views, as well as a nice place to hang out with your loved ones.

Situated about four miles north of Florence proper in the Heceta Beach community, this home is just across the street from an easy access point to the beach, so you can walk out your front door and be on the sand in minutes. Old Town Florence is a few minutes away by car, as are a casino, two golf courses, and the rest of the town's attractions. Devil's Elbow State Park and the highly photogenic Heceta Head Lighthouse are just a few miles north of this vacation rental, perfect for hiking, fishing, and beachcombing. Stop in at Sea Lion Caves, the country's largest sea caves, to see the animals in their native habitat.

The house itself sits on a heavily wooded lot, which makes the space feel private and secluded. After a long day on the beach, come back to your cozy vacation rental and use the fully equipped kitchen to put together a home-cooked dinner. Relax in the living room while you browse cable channels on the flatscreen TV, or use Roku to stream something on demand. In the evening, head out to the outdoor firepit and roast marshmallows, or hang out on the second-floor balcony and admire distant views of the sun setting over the ocean. Don't forget to take your dog for a walk - your canine companion is more than welcome!

Whatever brings you to Florence, you can't go wrong with a stay at this charming vacation rental. Book today!

Quiet, comfy and convenient location.

Comfy chairs, beds, pillows in this small space. Perfect for my friend and I to share space. Walk across the street to enter the trail to the ocean. Reasonable price.

Best Beach House

Small beach house only 5 minute walk to the ocean water. Everything you need to cook your own favorite foods just like you do at home. Small dogs are welcome and everything was super clean. Will be my small family's annual go to beach house reservation!

Coastal Explorations

Daydreamer was the best home base for us to spend time learning about this part of the Oregon Coast. Location was everything because we could walk right across the street and down to Heceta Beach! My daughter enjoyed the view from the upstairs bedroom also and since she is still a youngster she could navigate the steep stairs well:). We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen area each morning for breakfast. We stayed from Thursday night until Wednesday morning so each day we headed out either north or south and then also spentTime in Old Town Florence as well. My daughter’s goal was to ride a horse on the beach and that was accomplished at C& M Stables on Saturday. We enjoyed some sunny afternoon reading on the upper deck and lower deck as well. We were lucky for early March and had some very nice weather!! We left a few things to come back in the future to do but we did the following: Heceta Head Lighthouse, Luna Sea in Yachats for fish and chips, Sea Lion Cave, Face Rock, and Thor’s Well and Spouting Horn. Soooo many great photos. We appreciate the timeliness of the electricity problem being fixed quickly so that the stay at Daydreamer would be comfortable: Vacasa and Ligjthouse Electrical (especially electrician Lance Hill) were awesome and so appreciated!! For your explorations of the Oregon Coast I can recommend Daydreamer at the Heceta Beach to be your headquarters for a beautiful stay!!

Super cozy and very clean, even for wife’s standards. The beach was right across the street and the property was very private. Balcony was very nice with view and sun. Very neat setup. Would recommend againn

We loved this cabin!

So close to the beach. Deeply peaceful. Rustic and charming with all the amenities. Cozy and beautiful. We absolutely adored this little home even in the cold and windy coastal spring weather it was a delight to stay here.

Small gem

It was smaller than we anticipated, but very comfortably done. The stairs to the 2nd floor were too steep for us to use & too steep for our dog. We loved it though! Enjoyed our stay very much. The walk to the beach is the best & very accessible. We will rent it again.

Love this beach house so much! The kitchen is great and loaded with all sorts of cooking stuff, the view from the top bedroom is unreal, and the deck out front is great for reading, eating, hanging out, lounging!

Great location, view and accommodation!

The house was a cozy, comfortable place. We brought our own pre-made food, snacks and drinks and the stocked kitchen made it perfect. We were there during the January king tides. After wave watching and beach walking it was so relaxing to come back to our warm, dry house. I can't wait to return when the weather has warmed up and can take full advantage of the balcony, deck fire pit!

Loved the location. House needed some minor maintenance. The stairs are extremely steep, but useable. Moth and ant issues. I would definitely stay there again.

Charming and Cozy

Day Dreamer is a dream come true! From our first impression it was welcoming and very comfortable throughout our stay. For a small home the furniture is well thought out. The interior is filled with lots of thoughtful details that made us feel right at home. There are wonderful views of the ocean, especially from the beautiful bedroom upstairs. Situated very close to Driftwood Shores provides access for walking on the beach, through fun neighborhoods and a good deli nearby. Yes, the stairway to the upstairs is steep and not for the faint of heart, but well worth climbing carefully for the lovely peacefulness up there. The decks outside are perfect and the potted flowers add such a nice touch! It was certainly a dreamy week and we hope to return.

Lovely…adorable…sweet little getaway

Day Dreamer is a lovely getaway! It feels very private while being just steps from Heceta Beach. When we arrived, I kept saying things to my husband like ‘It’s adorable’ and ‘It’s lovely’! The outside furniture is thoughtful. The furnishings inside are very comfortable, including the upstairs bed. The hose outside was a nice touch so we could rinse our bicycles after a beach ride. The upstairs deck is amazing. The steps inside, while steep, did not seem as treacherous as I expected after reading other reviews. Minor ways to improve such as ensuring a clean tablecloth is on the kitchen table and fixing what seems to be a broken lamp on a table in the upstairs bedroom (in front of the window on a table). The lampshade was just resting on the light bulb so my husband fastened it as it should have been. Duct taped carpet underneath steps. Really, no major concerns or complaints. A lovely stay…thank you!

It’s a great house and conveniently located

Really enjoyed staying here, however the house does have an ANT problem. We brought our dog with us and in the morning came down to his food bowl completely covered in ants. Other then that though, really enjoyed staying here

Nicely located getaway

Cute house & great location. Had a musty odor in main level and especially the main level bedroom when we got there. Opened window in bedroom on main level to air out but no screen so a huge spider got in. The house was very clean, so that was a plus. The tv definitely needs a soundbar. The recliner in the living room is pretty worn and needs replaced. We had a huge problem with the digital keypad lock on front door. It would not lock whenever we would go out to leave somewhere. It was a pain to say the least. Got a hold of someone through the Vacasa 800 number(Not Local) they gave me a code for a lockbox located on property. That key didn’t want to work either. The owner definitely needs a local contact instead of a company out of town that can help with maintenance issues.
