Beach Front Any Closer to the Ocean and You'd Need a Wetsuit - Whales Watch

Whales Watch is a one bedroom, 1000 square foot beach front duplex just steps from the beach! Walk out the sliding glass door, and right on to the beach. Sitting at the furthest point out on Heceta Beach, it has sweeping ocean views from the Siuslaw River Jetty to the Heceta Head Lighthouse. Perfect for watching Whales, Bald Eagles, Osprey, Pelicans, Sea Lions and other assorted wildlife. If it we're any closer to the ocean you'd need a wetsuit. The ocean breeze beckons you to sit on the patio and soak in the view!

The spacious bedroom has a king size bed with Mediterranean Oak furniture a sitting area and it's own door to the bathroom. It also has an electric fireplace. The living room, kitchen and dining area is one large room right on the beach. There is a large hallway and utility room separating the two, with another entrance to the bathroom. The living room is furnished with comfortable overstuffed slipcovered furniture and a mix of Antiques & Rattan. The love seat turns into a twin hide-a-bed. With a dining room table for 4, and a 2 person bar there's always a place to eat and enjoy the view. Electric Faux Fireplace adds to the ambiance. The kitchen is well stocked with everything from wine glasses, blender, crock pot, microwave, bread maker, electric range, dishwasher, refrigerator & even a turkey roasting pan.

The owners parents were at one time, 'world travelers', so the furniture comes from around the world, and so do the Original Fine Art oil paintings. The 1902 Bush & Gertz Cabinet Grand (upright) Piano is tuned & ready to have it's ivory's tickled. We've even thrown in some sheet music, but if you have a favorite bring it along.

Loved it!!
Perfect vacation getaway. This was a little home away from home with so many extras included. Fully stocked kitchen, from waffle maker to blender and ice in the freezer. Washer, dryer, extra linens and blanket to ensure a cozy stay. We were right on the beach and could hear the ocean while fixing dinner then went down to put our toes in the sand with the chairs they provided! I have told family and friends about this place and will be visiting again!

A Coastal Dream
The ocean is practically an extension of the living room, offering breathtaking views and the soothing sounds of the waves. The property is beautifully maintained, and well-equipped. The amenities provided exceeded our expectations, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. Ideal for those seeking a tranquil beach retreat with responsive hosts. Already planning our return to this coastal gem!

Amazing oceanfront property in Florence
Everything was top-notch. Very clean, easy check-in, great communication with the host. The apartment is wonderfully appointed with just about anything you could think of. The kitchen was highly functional, and we cooked all our meal -- didn't eat out once. There is a Keurig coffee setup and various teas provided, as well as basic cooking supplies like spices. The living room is great to wind down in -- and if you're a reader like I am, the room is wonderfully lit for reading. There are board games and DVDs. The bedroom is spacious with a king bed -- firm but not hard, and the bedlinens are high-quality, very comfy. The beach access is hard to beat -- just open the sliding glass door, step off the gravel, and there is the sandy path to the water. The view over the dunes from the living room and kitchen is stunning. There are so many incidentals provided in this apartment, it's hard to remember all of them. There is a folding stepladder to assist those of us who are short reach the upper kitchen cabinets. There is a cocktail service area. There is a set of binoculars in case seals or whales swim by and you want a closer look. There is a washer/dryer should you need to do laundry. For warmer weather (my trip was in December) there are outdoor/beach recreation items like folding beach chairs, picnic setups. There is a secretary in the bedroom with stationery and writing implements, among other things one would keep in a typical desk. I will be back!
