Wonderfully located near Bay Street and all the wonderful restaurants. Sauna!
This house is in a perfect location. It is only 150 steps from Bay Street and all the wonderful restaurants and marvelous shops. The picturesque Siuslaw Bridge and River are right down the street.
It's a very quiet location and you'll sleep peacefully without the normal noises attributed to other places located next to late evening establishments.
Florence is consistently one of the top-rated places to visit. It's the starting and ending point of those tough enough to ride their bicycles 3000+ miles across America. It's also the Sand Boarding capital of the world. Have you ever heard of the infamous Exploding Whale of Florence, look it up! How about the novel Dune? Yes, the inspiration for one of the most influential science fiction novels of all time came from here. Eight houses north of this house is Captain Cox's 1897 home. He was the one who discovered the world-famous Sea Lion Caves. There are also 13 lakes in the area and the Siuslaw River as well.
Winter months, while normal drizzle is falling, are a good time to visit the local coffee shops. There are some exceptional souvenir shops and art galleries nearby. Local artists are exceptional!
You'll also hear a sound in the background. It is from the waves pounding the shore. If after a full day of perusing the area, the dry sauna will soothe your aching muscles.
So, come to Florence, enjoy what is available here and stay a while.
Plenty of parking and easy access to everything.
Additionally, no additional guests are allowed unless the Host is notified. No smoking of any kind!

Host was easy to communicate with and had extra accommodations for use while our families gathered. House is located in a very good place ,walking distance from most restaurants and entertainment.
This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay when visiting Florence and the central OR. coast. It is super convenient to everything especially Old Town, Florence and all it's great shops and restaurants.The house has everything you need and is super clean and quiet. We loved staying here and would definitely stay here again if visiting Florence.
We had a nice time in Florence, with the house so close to everything and plenty of room for the 6 of us. The sauna was a big plus and Pete’s recommendations were great. We look forward to coming back
over all every thing did, our hosts home is beautiful and so close to the river and old town Florence, we were not in the home long because the weather was also beautiful, be sure to check it out. christy
The property was beautiful, clean, well organized with all needed essentials. The decor was peaceful making the stay a comfortable and familiar space. Check-In and instructions were clear and easy to understand and the host was always quick to respond. I will have this property bookmarked for future stays.
The house was very comfortable, plenty big and had a great sauna to relax in after rides on the dunes. It was in a great location close to old town and the water. Would love to stay there again. Pete, the host, was welcoming and informative in his communication. Overall it was a really enjoyable getaway.
We’ve been visiting Florence annually for nearly 20 years and were excited to finally stay closer to town. The property was perfect for our family of five and the location was excellent. Everything in town was walking distance, giving us quick access to all of our regular spots. The communication from our host could not have been better. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to explore Florence.
Wow what a stay! The teen boys LOVED the bonus room and bedroom above, I loved that the neighborhood was quiet enough for my younger son to ride his bike. Walking distance to a beautiful little village area with live music, good coffee, and cute shops. We also walked to DQ when we all had a sweet tooth. We were particularly impressed with the amount of amenities - some hosts limit items (e.g. one roll of toilet paper), but this host thought of things we wouldn’t have even thought of! We were stoked, for example, to find an air fryer when we wanted some crispy tater tots. So great!Thank you for such a beautiful stay!
Pete was a great host who made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the home, showing us how to work all the appliances in the house. The home itself was beautiful, and a perfect place for a coast getaway. It was within walking distance of Old Town Florence, and just a few minutes drive from Honeyman State Park. Thank you for providing us with the home for a wonderful memory.
Everything was great the only recommendation I could make would be take out the 2 twin beds and put in a queen if not significant others more comfort for both thanks again Pete
Some friends and I came out for some fishing and R&R. We were greeted with a welcome note as well as some tasty gifts! Everything was labeled and there was a book of local info which would be a huge help if we were not already very familiar with the area. The sauna was a major bonus after hours of being out in the cold weather! Would recommend this home to people with families for sure!
The kitchen had everything needed to prepare food with. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Host was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Was a great place to stay.
This house has everything you can hope for. The sauna was so nice at the end of a fall day. The selection of coffee pods is a nice touch. The owner left us a nice welcome gift. All in all, great experience.
