Overview
Heceta House
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.

Haceta House was clean and welcoming. The grandkids enjoyed the little room at the top of the house with the view of the ocean. The furnishings are interesting and seem to match the house. We really enjoyed our multi-generational stay. Thank you so much!
Adorable House, however, there is no functioning heating system except for space heaters. That might work well for adults only but difficult with young children. The Jacuzzi is amazing, the children’s boat bunkbeds, adorable! However, there was not adequate silverware for a large group and no space in the kitchen area to put your food other than the refrigerator or counters. Beds were comfortable. Also, second bedroom is not fully closed off from the rest of the house. The porch area is really nice and the location to the beach is excellent. It is pet friendly, which worked well for our group, but you will pay a good fee to have them there. If the heating system was addressed and fixed, we would definitely stay there again.
When we showed up, we quickly learned there is another small shed/room that is rented separately on the property. This is nowhere in the description. This takes up the second parking spot, so you really only have 1 parking spot for the house. The hot tub was leaking and very low when we got there. We had to add water every day (do it in the morning so it had time to warm up). We expected it to be a little more updated based on the pictures and price, but it has not been updated. The ocean view is from a little room on the 3rd floor. The bedroom on the second floor is open to the rest of the house through the stairs, there is no door at the stairs. We slept downstairs. It was neat to go up with the kids, but that's the only view of the ocean. The TVs are extremely small. While we didn't go on vacation to watch TV, it is nice to wind down the kids at night. The boat bed was fun for our kids, they did love playing in it. There were some toys which was great. Management definitely isn't keeping up with them as most are missing most of the pieces. The painting on the floor upstairs was really fun, and the decor is really nice. Overall, the owner of the house has done a good job. The management has not. I have never given a review with less than 5 stars, but we were underwhelmed.
1- We never got to stay at this property, but this is further a review on Vacasa. 2- I booked this house and within 10 mins attempted to email customer service to move my reservation by 1 day since I quickly realized I had a conflict. The house was available and should have been cheaper and/or the same expense by moving it a day. Customers service said they would happily move it, but it would cost $168 more dollars, which did not make any sense. I verified on future reservations booked for Sat-Mon would be the same if not less than Fri-Sunday. They assured me there was nothing they could do to avoid the fee. 3 - There was a terrible wind storm that week and once we arrived to check-in there was no power and heat. You could tell it had been hours if not days this house did not have power and no one warned us. The power company pulled up and told us it would be a day if not days before power would be restored. I called customer service and they acted clueless and did not express concern for us checking in. All they said is “I will notify a local team member of your concern and they will get in touch with you”. No ETA. No resolution. We drove three hours to arrive at 5:30 pm and they said they could not assist me, but would let someone else know. The hotel was full also and we had to book another short term rental, which was $200+ more. I was finally contacted by a local Vacasa member at 7:30 am, who never called me, apologized or promptly refunded us. Needless to say, I will never book through Vacasa again and happily went back to another short term rental company who happily supported me.
Very Charming and comfortable beach house . We enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace every evening after exploring the coast and beaches. Great town nearby with fantastic restaurants. Dog friendly was also great, especially with gated wrap around deck. We would love to come back.
This home needs to be thoroughly deep cleaned, including furniture, appliances, and kitchens cabinets. Blinds throughout house need replaced. Kitchen sink needs drain covers. There were a lot of knats. Trash can needs to be closable too. Kitchen needs pot holders, trivets, a measure set, and rags/cleaning clothes. The downstairs bed needs replaced. It was uneven and uncomfortable. It should also be mentioned in the listing that it’s not that close to the beach. I wouldn’t consider it ‘easy’ access and the upstairs/master bedroom is open to the stairs and rest of the house. We were very disappointed in this rental. It was overpriced for what were received.
