Location: Florence, Central Coast, Oregon, USA (Heceta Beach, north of Florence - 65 miles west of Eugene)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
A delightful beach retreat - perfect as a base for the many nearby activities or as a place to "snuggle in" and enjoy the views from the charming interior and perfectly-situated deck. Located on a quiet dead-end street overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the home is nonetheless close to restaurants and commercial services.
Beachcombing guests take a short path (2 minutes or so) to the beach where, heading south, they can enjoy the tidepools of the North Jetty. A stroll to the north highlights the Heceta Head lighthouse, at the very tip of the point forming this expansive beach.
The enchanting home is small - just over 1000 square feet - - but is arranged in a way that affords privacy to its visitors. While The Hut can accommodate up to 6 guests, it is most enjoyable for a couple or a young family. Four adults or more will fit, but they had better really like each other!
The common area on the main floor consists of an open living room, dining area and well-equipped kitchen, all tastefully appointed and inviting. The bathroom and a bedroom are also located on the main floor, the bedroom furnished with twin beds.
Upstairs, the master bedroom, with king-size bed, overlooks the vast ocean and is a delight at night as the ocean twinkles with the lights from fishing boats or moonbeams on a clear night.
The morning is equally exhilarating, as the rising sun casts its pink rays on the silvery ocean. A loft, adjacent to the master, although separated by a door, is a wonderful sleeping area with its two twin beds.
The home, while near other homes, is very private, both inside and outside. The owner has opted to present it as a "home away from home" for the guests, who are free to enjoy the many games, books and magazines, most of which are sources of history and information about the Central Oregon Coast and the nearby attractions. A new washer and dryer are on site for guest use.
Many guests end up just "hanging out" at the house, visiting the beach, doing puzzles or reading and playing games. Nearby activities, however, abound. From the quaint shops of Old Town in Florence to the exciting hikes and Interpretive Center at Cape Perpetua just 25 miles to the north, the area will satisfy just about all entertainment needs. And, for the guest seeking riskier experiences, riding the sand dunes south of The Bridge or visiting the Three Rivers Casino offer even more possibilities. This is an ideal vacation retreat for a couple, an individual, two couples or a small family. It is not large, but it is a true treasure.
Out of respect for the neighbors on this quiet street, no RV's or campers. And, for the comfort of future guests, please respect this property as a Smoke-Free environment.

Thank you for providing a "home-away-from-home." Jeff and Josh had a great time quading and I got my "beach fix" in :). The view is amazing, setsets were beautiful and the clear, sunny weather was fabulous. Thank you for sharing your beach hut with us!!

We had a great time exploring and playing on the Oregon Coast. The Hut was a wonderful place to relax and wind down after a busy day. Thanks for providing such a nice place.

We loved our time at the Hut. It was the perfect place to curl up with a book and hide from the rain, beach-comb in the sun and enjoy the sunset with a coctail. Sophia, who just celebrated her 1st birthday, had a blast! Thanks for providing a perfect place to get away!

We had a wonderful winter get-away with weather in the 50's-60's and clear skies! The stars at night were amazing and we saw whales straight out from the upstairs room. This place is perfect. Thanks!

Dear Judi, We came here with my sistger and her husband from Germany and had such a good time. Unfortunately, it was raining a lot, but it was great to warm up in your nicely decorated hut. We spent lots of time chatting, playing cards and just watching the ocean. What a beautiful biew! We should come back in summer to spend some evenings on that great porch. Thank you so much for all your help and friendliness. Best wishes, Gisela Haug and family

Dear Judi, Albin and I have been here with our son, granddaughter and her boyfriend and have enjoyed your cabin very much! Except for one day, we have had beautiful, but cold, weather, which made for especially stunning views. Albin and I attended every event of the Florence Winter Folk Festival and we would highly recommend it! The rest of the family went on the beach, sightseeing, and just hung out and relaxed from their normally busy schedules. A great time was had by all! Glenda, Albin, Pete, Sammi and Brett

Judi - A wonderful long weekend at the Hut for the Sterbas...such a fabulous place to reflect on all our blessings this Thanksgiving! Time spent at the beach, quad riding on the dunes, Devil's Churn (even shopping in Old town)! Most of all, the quaint comfort of your rental, a place to enjoy each other. Thanks much! Harold, Jenny, Elizabeth and Harold P.S. Dad just couldn't get over the view.

Dear Judi - We can't say enough how terrific your house has been as a venue for our family reunion and wedding celebrations in Eugene! The views and comfort were perfect for relaxing after travels from London, Montana and California. We really give you special thanks for organising the stunnin weather - the sunshine really transported us to another world and season. The beach was superb for walks. Only sorry not to have more time for birdwatching, as it looks like a great spot for it. The kitchen was great - we loved the spice grainders, especially red pepper, which we hadn't seen - but great to have those few essentials on hand. We would love to visit again sometime. Thank you!
