This home has a BIG view of Heceta Beach. You can see South beyond the Siuslaw River jetties and to the North toward Baker Beach from the outside deck. And you can walk a short trail through the shore pines to the restaurant at Driftwood Shores, just down the hill, or drive just a few minutes into the center of Florence for a wide array of shopping and dining. The access to the beach is a short walk down the street.

With its five (5) bedrooms Heceta View House is a cost efficient vacation home for a large group. All bedrooms and the laundry are on the first floor, with the second floor entirely open and accommodating for the large gathering of the Clans. Three of the bedrooms have Sealy Posturepedic ® king size beds, one bedroom has a queen, and the kids' room has a bunk bed and double bed. The second floor window wall facing west can be the scene of spectacular sunsets, just scanning the beach, or watching the endless changes of the ocean swells as they roll in.

In the winter, when huge storms can blast into the Northwest, this is an ideal spot to watch the mountainous ocean swells stretching to the horizon in an endless procession, or to whale watch from the comfort of a relaxed living area.

Bring your beach towels, Frisbees, kites and other toys and enjoy the beach! If you are an off-roader this is the heart of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. There are large areas of the dunes open to off-roading, or there are quiet hiking trails through forests and dunes, estuaries and hills to the beach. Florence is truly a center for a diverse array of outdoor activities.

Life can be simple at the beach. The long days of summer. The sound of waves. The view through the pine branches of the kites and children playing as the receding tide widens the sand.

Come enjoy the cool pleasure of life at the beach. If you are just traveling through, or visiting from the Willamette Valley you will enjoy this relaxed home overlooking Heceta Beach. You can walk a short trail through the shore pines to the restaurant at Driftwood Shores, just down the hill, or drive just a few minutes into the center of Florence for a wide array of shopping and dining.

If you are the hardy type desiring the thrill of huge waves and storm tossed seas, come visit during a winter storm and be awed by the power of the ocean. When the seas are running 20 to 30 feet it is truly difficult to turn away from nature's show of pure strength.

Shore Pine Cottage is a comfortable two bedroom, one bath home with one larger room for the kitchen, dining and living room. It is one of those places that just cause people to let out a melancholy sigh when stepping over the threshold. It is that cozy. The living area and the master bedroom have outstanding views of Heceta Beach and the jetties of the Siuslaw River. It can comfortably sleep five and its outside deck is sufficiently wind protected to allow entertaining in most summer weather conditions. The access to the beach is a short walk down the street.
