Dog-Friendly Getaway with Outdoor Firepit & Balcony - Steps from Beach Access

Day Dreamer

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A small family, two traveling couples, or a few close friends will love staying at this charming Florence getaway, which offers easy access to the beach and typical home comforts including free WiFi, cable, and a private washer/dryer. A second-floor balcony provides partial ocean views, as well as a nice place to hang out with your loved ones.

Situated about four miles north of Florence proper in the Heceta Beach community, this home is just across the street from an easy access point to the beach, so you can walk out your front door and be on the sand in minutes. Old Town Florence is a few minutes away by car, as are a casino, two golf courses, and the rest of the town's attractions. Devil's Elbow State Park and the highly photogenic Heceta Head Lighthouse are just a few miles north of this vacation rental, perfect for hiking, fishing, and beachcombing. Stop in at Sea Lion Caves, the country's largest sea caves, to see the animals in their native habitat.

The house itself sits on a heavily wooded lot, which makes the space feel private and secluded. After a long day on the beach, come back to your cozy vacation rental and use the fully equipped kitchen to put together a home-cooked dinner. Relax in the living room while you browse cable channels on the flatscreen TV, or use Roku to stream something on demand. In the evening, head out to the outdoor firepit and roast marshmallows, or hang out on the second-floor balcony and admire distant views of the sun setting over the ocean. Don't forget to take your dog for a walk - your canine companion is more than welcome!

Whatever brings you to Florence, you can't go wrong with a stay at this charming vacation rental. Book today!

My stay was delightful. The home is comfortable and clean. You can’t beat the location as it is private and peaceful. I had a challenging time figuring out the front door lock code and initially couldn’t. I resorted to retrieving the key from the lock box and then had a challenge unlocking the door with the actual key. I think it would be helpful to clearly state the actual directions to use the code on the door lock keypad from start to end as everyone is not familiar with this type of keypad. Once I retrieved the key, unlocking the door was not as simple as one would think. Once again, not everyone is familiar with that type of lock. I spent 20 minutes attempting to unlock the door and once I finally did, I didn’t lock it when I would leave the premises for fear of not being able to gain entry again. The Vacasa rep came over for another issue and she was very helpful with the door lock instructions. The listing stated that there was a grill and what I found was a portable rusted out gas grill alongside the home. There was a charcoal grill a small Weber Smokey Joe and the rack that holds the charcoal was missing. I brought two racks of lamb to grill for my friends and I. I expected to have a decent full sized gas grill to use but managed with the lower rack from the new charcoal grill that the Vacasa rep brought over.

Includes convenience like laundry and everything provided such as shampoos, detergent etc. I'm do glad we picked this one!

Musty Odor, Old Furniture

The house was well cleaned but has a very strong odor that I will describe as musty and old. It is very off putting and the windows don't have screens, so opening the windows wasn't really an option. You get used to the smell but it will make your clothes smell. The beds don't have box springs and instead have plywood under the mattress. The furniture and decorations are old. The stairs to the upstairs are very steep. The proximity to the beach is a perk! It's just across the road.

Coastal Explorations

Daydreamer was the best home base for us to spend time learning about this part of the Oregon Coast. Location was everything because we could walk right across the street and down to Heceta Beach! My daughter enjoyed the view from the upstairs bedroom also and since she is still a youngster she could navigate the steep stairs well:). We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen area each morning for breakfast. We stayed from Thursday night until Wednesday morning so each day we headed out either north or south and then also spentTime in Old Town Florence as well. My daughter’s goal was to ride a horse on the beach and that was accomplished at C& M Stables on Saturday. We enjoyed some sunny afternoon reading on the upper deck and lower deck as well. We were lucky for early March and had some very nice weather!! We left a few things to come back in the future to do but we did the following: Heceta Head Lighthouse, Luna Sea in Yachats for fish and chips, Sea Lion Cave, Face Rock, and Thor’s Well and Spouting Horn. Soooo many great photos. We appreciate the timeliness of the electricity problem being fixed quickly so that the stay at Daydreamer would be comfortable: Vacasa and Ligjthouse Electrical (especially electrician Lance Hill) were awesome and so appreciated!! For your explorations of the Oregon Coast I can recommend Daydreamer at the Heceta Beach to be your headquarters for a beautiful stay!!

Nicely located getaway

Cute house & great location. Had a musty odor in main level and especially the main level bedroom when we got there. Opened window in bedroom on main level to air out but no screen so a huge spider got in. The house was very clean, so that was a plus. The tv definitely needs a soundbar. The recliner in the living room is pretty worn and needs replaced. We had a huge problem with the digital keypad lock on front door. It would not lock whenever we would go out to leave somewhere. It was a pain to say the least. Got a hold of someone through the Vacasa 800 number(Not Local) they gave me a code for a lockbox located on property. That key didn’t want to work either. The owner definitely needs a local contact instead of a company out of town that can help with maintenance issues.

Know before you go

If you are going to Henderson, the location of this house is amazing. Just across the street from easy access to a gorgeous beach. Because of high winds, we were glad to be across the street in a house with natural barriers. The street is not a main road so it's very quiet. About the house: -Great beds -It's managed by VACASA so you will be hit with fees from them and VRBO. Our fees for a 4 night stay were almost as much as the total nightly cost. -No dishwasher so the utensils, cups and things are only going to be hand-wash clean. We ended up rewashing many things and would have preferred to spend less time doing dishes on vacation. -There are so many knicknacks everywhere that were dusty and made the place feel cluttered. Strongly suggest the managers remove at least half the decorative stuff to give a cleaner feel and help out the cleaners. Including the rugs and drapes/curtains which are everywhere and felt dirty. -Extra blankets were in a big pile with other things in a closet so we werent sure how clean they were. -Dog hair all over couch. -Haphazard collection of spices, teas, and coffee likely collected from past guests -- not provided by management-- and jammed in an upper cabinet. -Washer smelled moldy and drier smelled like dog. One detergent pod provided for each day. Towels in kitchen smelled moldy. -As someone else said, the stairs up to the loft bedroom are more like a ladder than a flight of stairs. We hope all this helps!

It was smaller than we anticipated, but very comfortably done. The stairs to the 2nd floor were too steep for us to use & too steep for our dog. We loved it though! Enjoyed our stay very much. The walk to the beach is the best & very accessible. We will rent it again.

Didn't use master bedroom

With the master bedroom upstairs, steep stairs with semi-acceptable hand railings and no bathroom, we decided to stay in the spare bedroom downstairs. Bed could have been more comfortable. Heaters were noisy through the night. Home was clean and stocked with everything needed. Location was nice. Wish we could have used the upstairs bedroom (better ocean view + porch), but the stairs prevented us from using it (we are in our early 60's).

Utilize as a home base to explore Florence, the many parks and lakes and dunes. The kitchen wasn’t as well equipped as we’ve experienced at other rentals and room darkening shades would have been helpful for sleep.

Pleasant, Charming, Dog Friendly

Our stay was for a few days and overall we enjoyed it. We enjoyed the location being so close to Haceta Beach and having quick access to outdoor activities just north of Florence. The place was clean and offered plenty of space for 3 adults. We enjoyed using the deck and having the available off-street parking. The bathroom was tight by clean and usable. The exhaust fan was pretty loud when 'on' which probably means it might be failing. The mattress in the downstairs bedroom was quite uncomfortable, I would suggest replacing those before the exhaust fan. Lastly, we weren't thrilled about having to wash dishes, by hand since there isn't a dishwasher and let alone while on vacation, before checking out, but we do follow the rules so we did them. Overall, it was a good stay and unlike other options, pet friendly. The location is what would bring me back here, book it if you don't mind helping with the chores during check out, if you don't need much, and are traveling with a pet.
