Charming Oceanfront Home with WiFi - Secluded, Yet Close to Town

Rascals Oceanfront Retreat

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

This oceanfront home in Florence is the perfect choice for your next Oregon Coast getaway with family or friends. With a Ping-Pong and mini-pool table, and a large deck with sweeping ocean views, this home will give you a peaceful and enjoyable vacation.

This rental is located right on a quiet stretch of beach less than five miles north of downtown Florence, providing guests with ease and convenience. And it's one of two homes on this stretch of Kiwanda Street, so you'll be blessed with a lovely semi-private setting. To reach the sand, just head down the deck stairs to the beach!

The interior of this home is cozy, decorated in tasteful kitsch with wicker and floral print furnishings and window treatments. Sink into the sofa and catch a cable show or two on the flatscreen TV, or make a selection from the DVD library. And while you're at it, stay in touch with friends at home with free WiFi access.

When it's mealtime, the chefs in your group can get to work in the fully equipped kitchen. With tons of counter space, standard appliances, and a center work island that serves as a breakfast bar for three, meal prep and cleanup are made easy. Enjoy your meal together at the large dining table or savor a delicious barbecue dinner on the deck, which offers a gas grill, sea-salt-scented air, and stunning dune and ocean views - as well as easy access to the sands thanks to the stairs.

This home offers other bonuses, which will give you plenty of reasons to stick close to home. When the weather's nice, take the two available bikes out for a spin. Or if it's a day to stay inside, enjoy an impromptu Ping-Pong game in the garage.

When it's time for sleep, this three-bedroom (plus a loft), three-and-a-half-bath home accommodates up to nine guests. The first master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, an en suite bath with a pink soaking tub, and nice views. The second master bedroom also has a king-size bed, an en suite bath, and views. The third bedroom features two twin bunk beds and a mini-pool table, as well as its own en suite bath. All three bedrooms are upstairs, and the loft offers a day bed and serves as the pass-through to two of the bedrooms. The loft has an oceanfront balcony, perfect for lounging any time of day. There's a half-bath for freshening up, and the in-house washer/dryer allow you all to pack light.

Take a stroll to the sand and water and do some beachcombing, snap some photos, or just revel in the scenery. Stay in and choose some games to play, then treat yourself to a meal out in Florence after you've browsed the many shops. You might like to walk just up the road and have a meal at Driftwood Shores, or hop in the car and head to one of the two golf courses, check out the casino, or catch a show at the events center.

When you want to venture out farther, head to Heceta Head and tour the lighthouse for lovely views from the top. Hike the Hobbit Trail and spend some time at Darlingtonia State Natural Site. And be sure to check out the Sea Lion Caves.

Florence is a great destination any time of year, and your visit will be enhanced when you stay at this cozy and quaint beach house. Book it today, and get ready for a fun and relaxing Oregon Coast vacation.

Traveling through Oregon north to south. Very nice home. Could not get TV to work but we weren’t here for TV anyway! As others said, deck is older but looks like boards are being replaced. It was not an issue for is at all. View is beautiful. Property clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful view, property needs up keep.
The view is gorgeous. The walk to the beach was gorgeous. We loved how spacious the house was. It has plenty of beds and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen is big. The appliances are new. However, lots of areas need attention. The deck is in disrepair. Some boards have been fixed, but there are still broken steps and loose railings. The tub is slippery and doesn’t have a mat in it. We didn’t use the hot tub because it smelled bad. There is a strong chlorine smell on the first floor due to the hot tub. Some of the blinds don’t work or are falling apart. Overall, we liked the house. The location was amazing. It just needs some upkeep and updating.

Location is Great but House is Very Dated
Can't beat the beauty of the location! The views of Heceta Beach are fantastic. The location about 15 minutes from Old Town Florence is also very good. But the house is very worn and dated. It's comfortable, but don't expect any modern updates and expect low first impression since it looks like a dump when you drive up. Even the outdoor furniture and the deck, which are huge selling points for the house, are falling apart. Even just fixing up the deck and providing decent furniture that is comfortable to sit on to watch their amazing view would be a huge improvement. If the house was not on the beach, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you come in with low expectations for the house, it is a nice place to be.

Overall, you cannot beat the location. The beach location was amazing! House was definitely dated and run-down. If you are considering renting this house, just fully understand the trade offs. Old worn down house, cleaned adequately, great location on the beach.

Great location- but needs updates and better kitchen supplies.
The location is fantastic and views are spectacular. Glorious sunset views from multiple rooms in the house. While the house is definitely in need of some updating, much more than what the pictures present, we found it difficult to cook with what was supplied. The bbq is leaking oil, there aren’t enough pots or pans, or bowls or sharp knives. There were no wine glasses. In addition, the hot tub was in the garage and really unpleasant. We didn’t go in near it. If you can put up with a poor equipped kitchen, and want direct beach access and incredible views, this is a great place!

Grandma’s Beach House
We loved our stay in Grandma’s Beach House! The views... amazing! The sight and sound of the waves were mesmerizing & captivating. Adorable Hobbit trail through a bush tunnel and over the small dunes from the house to the beach. Great location... close to many sights. Comfortable and spacious. Okay, and actual portholes that open?? Cmon. The house & furnishings are older- just know that going in. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Renter BEWARE!!!!!!
RENTER BEWARE!!!! To say our stay was a little disappointing would be an understatement. Our party rented this house for the beautiful view (which that did not disappoint) along with the hot tub and ping pong table. Upon our arrival we were shocked to learn that the hot tub was no longer available, as it was sitting in the garage with a bit of water in the bottom with the chlorine filter. The smell of Chlorine was so overpowering that if we wanted to play ping pong, or use the barbeque, we had to open the garage doors. Having the to open the garage doors would not have been a big deal, except that it was a very cold and rainy weekend. We were never informed that the house no longer offered the hot tub and were quite upset. Other aspects of the home were maddening as well. The deck furniture, although esthetically fitting, was quite weathered and covered in dried/crusty moss. There were parts of the deck that were broken or close to it and looked NOTHING like the photo on the listing. Photoshop works wonders. The inside of the house also very upsetting as it was dirty with dried food on the floor, a strong urine smell in the corner of the dining room, and either dried fecal matter or vomit on the upstairs toilet. There is a hefty cleaning fee for this house and does not come close to being worth it. Upon our call to VACASA we were give $50 per night for loss of the hot tub, but all the other concerns fell on deaf ears. Hopefully there will be some changes before the next guest rents it. We will NEVER stay here again.

We had a good stay
The hot tub was "out of order" and we are waiting for a refund of that specific charge. We were unable to access the backup key. There were a few ants in kitchen. There was standing water in bunk bed room shower. None of these issues prevented us from having an enjoyable visit and we have rebooked for a June visit for most of our family

Great location
The house was in an amazing location. You simply had to walk over the dunes and you were on the beach. The house is a little outdated, but very spacious. The kitchen is large and fairly well stocked which was great. The beds are comfortable and we had everything we need. However, the hot tub did not work even after calling maintenance. That was a real let down as we were all looking forward to it. Overall, we would stay again. It's hard to beat waking up looking at the ocean, cooking and eating looking at the ocean, hanging out in the living room looking at the ocean...you get the idea.
