About this property

Private, quiet, dog-friendly home with firepit, quarter mile from Heceta Beach

  • Summary:

    The Fortress at Heceta Beach



    The Space:

    Find the utmost in privacy as well as convenience at this tree-lined home in Florence, ideally situated within a short stroll of Heceta Beach.



    This two-story home sits a quarter-mile from an access path to a peaceful stretch of Heceta Beach, a wonderful, tranquil spot for boogie boarding and beachcombing. The property itself is quiet, surrounded by beautiful coastal vegetation, and securely fenced for your dogs. In the surrounding area, you'll have great options for crabbing, fishing, hiking, and visiting such Oregon Coast landmarks as the Sea Lion Caves and Heceta Head Lighthouse.



    Walk home from the beach in the afternoons to let your dogs play on the pebbly grounds, relax outside on the small front porch, or gather around the firepit to swap stories and ease the chill of the ocean waves.



    The home's interior is bright, open, and inviting. Get started on dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, sit down to eat at the two breakfast bars, and spend the evening hours watching DVDs from the movie library and playing board games in the living room.



    THINGS TO KNOW

A great and private space to enjoy your Oregon adventure!

We have stayed here twice and absolutely love that there is a large yard with a privacy fence. In addition, the beach is only a block away which is great. There are so many fun things to do in the area and we thoroughly enjoyed a sandboarding experience behind the Fred Meyers in Florence. I would highly recommend staying here!

Private and perfect for quick trip

Smooth and easy check in process. The privacy of the property was great for our family and our dog! The house was super clean and had necessities minus groceries but Fred Meyer was less than 10 mins down the road. Beach was a short walk down 2 blocks, which was perfect. We enjoyed staying here.

Great spot!

This place was great! A short walk right to the beach. Plenty of towels available as well as pillows. If I had one minor suggestion it would be to have instructions on how to use the tv and the recliner. lol. We would definitely stay here again!

The Prefect Getaway

This is the cutest house in a perfect location with great restaurants nearby and the beach right around the corner. Perfect spot for one or two couples. Fenced in yard and a firepit. Pictures online do not do it justice. Will definitely be back. Turns out I know the artist of the paintings inside too! Cool!

Great stay after a Rouge River trip

We floated the Rouge River 4 days prior to our stay at The Fortress. The lovely and dog friendly home and yard had everything we needed. Most important was a secure place to drop our boat and trailer. Plenty of secure and safe space for 2 trucks and 2 trailers. Walking distance to beach was epic. Quick drive to Old Town and all major restaurants. Fred Myers close and convienient. Touring Sea Lion caves, beaching it at Haceta and visiting Old Town Florence was our one day adventures. Ohhhh, get ice cream and taffy at BJ’s. Easy to find location and super cozy house. Awesome stay!!

Our stay for Fourth of July was great. The beach is a close walk and town is just a few minutes away. My only gripe is the images showed a grill on the front porch, but there was no grill to be found when we arrived. That put a slight damper on our July 4th grilling plans. Otherwise the property was just fine

This is a nice, single family home. It does not have a washer and dry. The bathroom was adequate but could use more shelves to put our belongings on. The beds were comfortable. The wifi was tricky to get connected to, and it was a little hard to communicate with the host because there is no one local here. It seems to be owned by a large company in another state with a 1-800 number to call with issues. It was hard to find the number.
