This was the absolutely best place in Oregon to stay. It is centrally located and a great starting off area for everything outdoors we wanted to do and see. The house was perfectly appointed, spotless, and full of homey touches that made it so enjoyable. We grilled outdoors, fixed all our meals in the everything you could need kitchen, played games, watched birds, and enjoyed the superb grounds and views. We loved watching the tides come in and out in the bay and got fabulous photos right from the window where we enjoyed our coffee. I was able to do a little work from our vacation spot and still explore half the state. There was a nice TV, but why would we ever use it? When we arrived, the landscaping was in full bloom and I spent the first several hours finding the outdoor gems like a flowering pond, picnic area, birdhouses, and our photogenic friend the moose carving by the grill.
From Florence we were easily able to go up and down the coast and explore every scenic overlook on 101. I am glad we flew in to Eugene instead of Portland. That made travel to Florence so easy. We went to Northern California to the Redwood Forests, to Crater Lake, to Sahalie Falls and all were just a day trip from the coastal home base. We found a Fred Meyer in town and got groceries for our stay, so we had all the comforts of home. I can’t recommend this location highly enough. My only note is that it isn’t for the disabled guest who has issues with stairs. We had so such limitations and enjoyed the elevated views.
