Coastal Bliss, Ocean Views, 0.3 walk to Beach - 6beds, sleeps 9, dog friendly

Welcome to Sandpiper Shores, in the Heceta Beach area of Florence, Oregon. This stylish spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath, sleeps 9, home offers peek-a-boo Pacific Ocean views and wave sounds from the upper deck with amazing sunsets. Lower deck to grill with lawn for kids to play (lawn bowling and cornhole). Close enough for a short walk to the beach on the neighborhood Hobbit Trail but a bit sheltered from the coastal winds. Close to hiking, tidepools, the massive Oregon Dunes (rent dune buggies or go on a giant 25 person dune buggy tour), Sea Lion Caves and Heceta Head Lighthouse. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone seeking a peaceful coastal escape. Big cook pot for local seafood meals, board games, books, big screen tv, and cards for fun game nights.

We are dog friendly. Just 100 feet down our road, the local hobbit trail is a 7-minute walk, leading you to miles of beautiful sandy beaches (there is some ambling over the dunes and the hobbit trail may be a bit slick when wet so wear sturdy shoes); breathtaking beach ready to explore. Heceta public beach access (2) is also 1/2 mile away with public parking and county bathrooms if your don’t want to trek hobbit trail over the dunes.

Sandpiper Shores boasts a great location, conveniently situated only 10 minutes from the historic Old Town of Florence with restaurants and shopping. Jerry's Bar and Grill is a quick walk up the block, across the street from that is a small convience camp store.

THE SPACE
---------------
The house has three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen (no dishwasher), and a family room with couches, a 50" TV, and access to the back deck and lawn. The family room has a queen sofa pullout.

One bedroom with a queen bed and a full bath is downstairs. Upstairs has the 2nd full bathroom, the master suite with a queen size bed and another deck with ocean views, and the 3rd bedroom with 3 XL-Twin beds. Pack-n-play for toddler and infant setup and high chair.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals (no dishwasher), with a Keurig duo coffee machine for k-cups or drip coffee. Washer and dryer onsite and games, coloring books, books, and beach supplies are available for our guests. Air conditioning is in the family room only, and 3 fans are provided. When there is a heat wave inland it gets foggy and cool at the coast. Temps can reach 70-75 and on a sunny day 77 on our top deck, otherwise usually never need air conditioning (true paradise). 50" Roku TV with YouTube TV subscription provided.

Great top deck for viewing sunsets or yoga and a private backyard with a 2nd deck off of the family room with a barbecue grill, corn toss and lawn bowling. Please no parking on our rear lawn- that is our septic system. Driveway parking only, can fit 3 midsize cars or 2 large SUV's. No parking under the carport. 2 dog max allowed. Bag provided, please pick up after your dog ($50 fee if dog waste is left).

Strong Wifi throughout the house and both decks with a mesh network and 500 Mbps Internet for streaming and remote work. Verizon cell service works best in the area, but you can enable wifi calling if needed.

Pull into the driveway slowly and be mindful of the 3 parking railroad ties (near carport and rear lawn). Please do not drive on the hose and be mindful of the front spicket and pulling in carefully under the carport. There is no street parking. The neighborhood is a peaceful beach community. Please drive slowly on our road- many children at play and walkers. The home sleeps 9.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-----------------------------------
We have one outdoor security camera in the front driveway facing toward the road. It will be on during your stay. Please no plastic bags, glass, garbage in recycles. Please rinse out cans/plastic jugs. Boxes need to be broken down. Glass goes in small yellow bin.

The local hobbit trail to the beach is about 100 feet away from the front door and approximately a 7-minute walk. It is not too strenuous, but if a trail and dune walk is not for you, public beach access with parking is at Heceta Beach County Park (north of us), a 1/2 mile away (2 parking lots- 1 south of the hotel, 1 north of the hotel with 2 toilets). The Hotel also has a coffee and ice cream shop open to the public. Or head south to North Jetty Beach, just 4 minutes from the house with parking and bathrooms too, views of the Siuslaw River Inlet and trails to Heceta Beach.

Lots of shopping, antiquing, second hand shops and wonderful restaurants in the old town and along coastal 101. Lots of local hiking too or visit Darlingtonia State Natural Site, one of the most accessible bogs of carnivorous plants in the USA. And you will love all the stops up coastal 101 to Yachats and eat at one of our favorite restaurants: The Drift Inn. You can even horseback ride on our beach. So much to see and do for all ages; We look forward to hosting you at Sandpiper Shores!!
