This was a case of good things come in small packages. It had everything we needed and was well appointed. The beds were comfy and the decorations are very cute! There's not a lot of counter space in the kitchen and no bath tub but it was adequate and clean.
Very cute with a great location and view. 5 adults slept well (3 younger adults that could sleep on bunk beds). We were on a large family vacation with some staying at the Driftwood so location was ideal. Just a short drive to downtown and easy beach access. A perfect home base for exploring the area!! We will DEFINITELY be staying here again!!!
The place is amazing. Beautiful view of the beach and it was walking distance. Close to town. Communication was great and very easy to work with. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in Florence.
House was small but usable for 2 adults and 2 kids, 4 night stay. We had our own 4th of july fireworks outside the window. Walk a very short diatance with your feet in the sand with sunrise and sunsets on the beach. Hobbit beach is a must just a short 20 or less minute drive. The washer and dryer were great. Bring your own detergent if you have any skin issues as the tide made everyone itch. Tv was great. Must eat at Nosh and get steak stack and fish combo were amazing. Mo's was gross. Bikes need major repairs. The games in basement were fun. Ping pong and air hockey. Nice quiet and safe area. Walk across street for coffee. Top of fridge needs cleaned. Nice place to stay.
The place was perfect for our family of five. We unfortunately didn't find out about the basement with its laundry and ping pong table until later in our stay; directions could be more clear. Nonetheless we enjoyed staying here, it was comfortable, and we would come back!
Walked in and the whole house smelt like urine. Dust everywhere, dried urine next to the toilet on the shower. Top of fridge was rusted, covered in dust and had a pull up diaper on it. Didnât even stay, ended up getting hotel rooms for my family member who were from out of state for our wedding. Host should be proud of this property!
This house was the most comfy place I think we could have picked, our girls(8,5,3, 6mo) had the most amazing time! With the short walk to the beautiful heceta beach and all the sand castle toys they provided, the air hockey in the garage, the backyard and swings the girls never even really wanted to leave the house! We enjoyed yummy home cooked meals and of course a sea food boil! The beds were all super comfy the house just feels like home! We didn't want to leave! It's the perfect location especially if you have littles, short drive to the famous sea lion caves, hobbit trail, heceta lighthouse, tide pools I could go on and on about how much there is to do around there for very little to no money! The host is absolutely amazing as well! Thank you so much for sharing your home! Our family definitely made unforgettable memories to last a life time and are already planning our next trip back!
Great location, view of the ocean and gorgeous sunsets from picture window. Stocked with all the kitchen necessities. Cute and cozy. Sleeps six, yes, but bear in mind that if you are all adults, one of those spots is a very short top bunk. Overall wonderful experience.
Fun cozy bungalow, perfect for a family with kids. Ocean is a block away, firepit and swing in the back yard. Love the ocean themed artwork and decorations in the house.
Cute house, great beach availability. Unfortunately, the house was less than clean. Floors had not been mopped or even thoroughly swept. Ovenanffreezer anffreezer fr3zer
My husband and I stayed 3 nights with two adult children. The location is great. Easy short walk to the beach and you can watch and hear the waves from the house. It was somewhat rainy and chilly so we spent more time at the house than we normally might have. The quarters are definitely cozy but thatâs the point - being together! The kitchen is adequately stocked with all the necessary supplies to cook just about whatever you want. We didnât find the tabletop gas BBQ mentioned in the listing but that wasnât a big deal. The âkidsâ (college age) enjoyed the air hockey table and got a kick out of watching some of the old VHS movies. There are no doors, just hanging curtains to the bedrooms. Didnât bother us at all - there a fan if you need it for drowning out traveling snores đŽ The fire pit is rustic but fully functional and my husband was a happy camper tending to a little fire out back. Itâs super quiet. Didnât hear a peep from anyone around us. Quick drive into Florence or a little longer the other way and youâre in Yachats. We did both. I would stay here again.
Lovely owners. Property povided much needed respite! Doors on bedrooms only thing that I would have liked. Even that would have been OK if I didnt snore lol.
We really enjoyed staying in this cute little bungalow. It had everything we needed including a hoard of toys which the kids absolutely lovedâŠ.including the teenager. The vcr tape collection was quite impressive. We loved watching some old classics as a thunderstorm unexpectedly rolled through. We enjoyed a nice campfire to roast marshmallows one evening. Saw a baby deer bound through the backyard. The garage filled with big toys like bikes and sleds and skateboards was quite the treat. What a great little rental for a family. We will be back. Thank you!!
The bungalow has lots of family touches which gives it a homey type feel. The amenities were family friendly and it was close to some great sight-seeing activities. The house could use some serious upkeeping and cleanliness.
Charming Home with Potential but Disappointed by a Few Cleanliness Issues
There were some cleanliness issues in the kitchen and bathroom, and the place could benefit from a deep clean. This was unexpected, given the previous positive reviews. While this didn't significantly hamper our experience, it was surprising. On the positive side, our children enjoyed the VHS collection, and we appreciated the open area in the kitchen, dining, and living room. The open windows give the space plenty of fresh air and sunlight.
Additionally, itâs an easy walk to the beach. Although the home is outdated, as expected, some minor upgrades could make it feel fresher and wouldn't cost much. If you don't want to spend time at the beach, the location is great as there's lots to do.
This place was great for me and my family (spouse and two kids). It was exactly as described in the listing and the reviews. It is an older beach house thatâs clearly been loved. Great toys in the garage, fairly well stocked kitchen, very close to the beach.
As stated in other reviews, there are no doors on the bedrooms, just curtains. Parts of the house are a bit run down, such as the bathroom. It was fairly clean when we arrived but there is dirt etc in the corners and under the beds. Not a big deal for us but it may bother others.
Host was extremely responsive and easy to contact.
We found the cabin to be in good condition and decorated in a tasteful nautical kitsch, clean and well stocked with kitchen staples, linens, etc.. It is a perfect compact size and has all the comforts needed for a vacation on the beach. The sofa and loveseat are comfortable and ample for up to four adults. One bedroom has a bunk with lower full size and upper single mattress. The other bedroom has a queen and a single mattress. The view of the beach from inside the home and the deck is a nice added delight. Our stay was enjoyable, relaxing and exactly what a beach stay should be! The hosts answered our questions and any concerns promptly and in a friendly accommodating manner. I recommend this retreat for anyone who needs a respite and change of scenery!
