Welcome to your laid-back coastal escape in Florence, Oregon — tucked near the quiet, windswept shores of Heceta Beach. Just half a mile from the Pacific Ocean, this small chateau-style home offers a simple, no-frills place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the coast.
Step inside and you’ll find a cozy, functional living space designed for relaxing after a day outdoors. This vintage home reflects its coastal setting, with a more rustic and lived-in feel rather than modern or updated finishes. The living room includes comfortable seating, a flat-screen TV with soundbar, and a pellet stove to warm up those cool coastal evenings.
The kitchen is fully equipped with the essentials you’ll need for easy meals during your stay. While not newly renovated, it offers everything required for cooking, dining, and gathering with your group. The adjacent dining space and front deck provide spots to enjoy meals, morning coffee, or the fresh ocean air.
Outdoor space is part of the experience here. The home sits in a natural coastal environment, offering a sense of privacy and quiet. There’s room to relax outside, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the surrounding landscape that makes this stretch of coast so unique.
Please note: This is an older home that has been weathered by coastal conditions over time. Guests should expect a worn-in aesthetic rather than a polished or luxury experience. Additionally, depending on the season, the access road can accumulate standing water, and guests may need to drive through it to reach the property.
When it’s time to rest, the bedrooms provide a comfortable place to recharge after a day of exploring. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bathroom, and additional guest rooms offer simple, cozy accommodations.
The home includes WiFi and a smart TV for streaming. Wood pellets are provided for the stove, and parking is available for up to three vehicles. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome to join your stay. Please note there is no central air conditioning.
Just beyond your door, you’ll find some of the most scenic destinations along the Oregon coast. Heceta Beach is a short half-mile away — perfect for long walks, beach combing, and sunset views. A quick drive north brings you to the iconic Sea Lion Caves and the breathtaking Heceta Head Lighthouse.
For dining, shopping, and local charm, head into Old Town Florence along the Siuslaw River, where you’ll find restaurants, galleries, and coastal boutiques. Outdoor enthusiasts can also explore the nearby Hobbit Trail, leading to the secluded and magical Hobbit Beach.

About the neighborhood
This home is ideally located just north of Florence in a peaceful coastal neighborhood surrounded by towering evergreens and the sound of distant waves. The setting feels private and quiet, yet you’re only minutes from the best of the central Oregon coast. Driftwood Beach is an easy half-mile walk away, offering miles of uncrowded sand for morning strolls, beachcombing, or watching the sunset paint the sky in soft hues of pink and gold. The neighborhood’s slower pace and natural setting make it a perfect retreat for those who want to be close to the ocean without the bustle of town.
A short drive south leads to historic Old Town Florence, a charming waterfront district filled with locally owned shops, art galleries, wine bars, and seafood restaurants. The Siuslaw River runs right through the heart of town, lined with colorful boats and wooden boardwalks that invite you to linger and take in the view. Stop for fresh fish and chips, browse boutiques filled with handmade coastal goods, or simply enjoy a stroll along the marina.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities nearby. To the north, the famous Sea Lion Caves offer an up-close look at one of the coast’s most fascinating marine habitats, and just beyond, the Heceta Head Lighthouse stands watch over the cliffs — one of the most photographed lighthouses in Oregon. For hikers and explorers, the Hobbit Trail winds through lush old-growth forest to reveal a hidden gem: Hobbit Beach, a quiet cove perfect for a picnic or an afternoon in the sand.
Whether you’re exploring tidepools, visiting the dunes, or savoring a meal in town, Florence has a charm that blends coastal adventure with small-town warmth. The area’s mix of rugged coastline, scenic trails, and welcoming local culture makes it a destination that keeps visitors coming back year after year — and this home places you right in the heart of it all.

Getting around

The home sits in a peaceful neighborhood just north of town, where quiet residential roads connect easily to Highway 101 — the main coastal route that links you to Florence, Heceta Beach, and beyond. Whether you’re exploring local attractions, heading out for groceries, or taking a spontaneous drive along the coast, travel here feels relaxed and convenient.
Downtown Florence and historic Old Town are only a short 8- to 10-minute drive away. You’ll find grocery stores, local markets, and shops close by, along with restaurants and cafés overlooking the Siuslaw River. For beach access, Driftwood Beach is just a short stroll or quick drive down the road, with public access points and easy parking available near the Driftwood Shores area. Many of Florence’s beaches, trails, and viewpoints have well-marked parking areas, often free or with minimal fees, making it simple to plan day trips without hassle.
The neighborhood itself is walkable and pleasant, with light traffic and gentle terrain perfect for a morning jog or evening stroll with the dogs. Cycling is also popular here, especially for those who enjoy quiet side roads and sweeping ocean views. For longer outings, Highway 101 provides smooth, scenic driving north toward Yachats or south toward the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
At the home, parking is easy and plentiful. The driveway accommodates up to three vehicles comfortably, including larger SUVs or trucks, so there’s no need to worry about space. There’s no garage access, but guests will find the parking area convenient, flat, and close to the main entrance. The home’s location off a quiet street adds a sense of privacy and safety, with room to easily load or unload luggage and beach gear.
