Oregon Coast hideaway

Nice home in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by beautiful trees. We saw many different birds, including hummingbirds and also saw a deer go through the backyard. Only downside is the beds were very firm and the cleaning seems a bit subpar as our towels and bath mats smelled sour.

Fantastic Homebase for exploring!

The house was very spacious with room for everyone to spread out and have quiet time if needed. Quick trip to town for groceries or shopping in Old Town and out to explore the Sea Lion caves, Heceta Head Lighthouse, etc.

Wonderful getaway

"As a guest at this Vrbo property, I had an exceptional experience. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed for our girls' weekend getaway, right down to the electric tea kettle and the baby gate. The cleanliness and overall condition of the house were top-notch, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The host's attention to detail was evident, and their efforts contributed greatly to our memorable weekend. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained accommodation."

Small comforts

We enjoyed the hot tub, the quiet of the location, and the amenities provided in the home. The beds are a bit harder than I am used to but comfortable, the driveway is extremely steep but we were able to park on the flat gravel part, and we thought there was private outdoor space but the deck is in the front so we spent our time indoors. I would recommend this property for others, especially because of how amazing the hot tub set up is, very relaxing.

Nice home with a few bumps

The bed space was well organized, but the table was too small for our group to all sit together. Front door lock didn't work at first took over 30 minutes to get inside. The driveway is horrendous, and the garage is not fit for a car. There was a hole in the wall in the upstairs bathroom as well. Overall we had a nice stay and mad things work. The pictures online seemed a little misleading as far as the size goes. One last thing, we rented this as a man's weekend for football and there was no localized TV channels. Had to purchase an online streaming channel to watch most of the games, and missed some others.

Perfect weekend escape

Had a wonderful time for a girls-trip getaway. House has everything you could need. The hot tub was absolutely enjoyed, perfect for a good soak after we walked the beach under the full moon. As some have commented before, the driveway is a bit steep, but definitely doable in most cars, just take it at an angle & you should be fine. There is flat area at the base of the stairs, off the deck that could fit 2-3 cars, so plenty of space for yourself and/or guests. We will definitely be keeping this property in mind the next time we're looking to stay in the Florence area.

Wonderful Rental

Had a great stay. The house was beautiful and cozy with plenty of room for our party of 3-6. We had perfect weather which made for some gorgeous mornings views. Highly recommend, especially if your looking for something near everything Florence has to offer but just a little out of town.

Bring your own kitchen tools

The beds are hard -like sleeping on the floor hard, some stains on the carpet, upstairs bath tub didn’t drain well. The worst part was how ill equipped the kitchen was. There isn’t even a wire wisk. Every pan in the kitchen needs to be thrown out and replaced. The griddle is so badly warped that we couldn’t even cook anything on it because it wouldn’t heat evenly. Thank goodness fredmeyer is close by so we could go buy a griddle and other essentials to cook with. The driveway. It was noted that it was steep but that doesn’t even describe it. It was bad. The size and space of the house fit us well and we had a great weekend exploring but I would most definitely not stay here again or recommend it to anyone. I really don’t like to complain, but I feel future renters need to know.

Beautiful home, clean and really nice inside. Great hot tub. As mentioned in the description, the driveway is VERY steep but the parking area is flat. It’s obvious that this house is well cared for by it’s owners. The only negative experience that we had was that we were emailed the wrong access code to enter the house. We had to call to get the correct code, and following the poorly given instructions over the phone, it still took almost 45 minutes to access the house. This was a lack of communication problem from Vrbo, not meant to be a negative statement about this beautiful house.
