On Beach Time – Vintage Cottage Near the Surf

On Beach Time – Vintage Cottage Near the Surf

Welcome to On Beach Time, a mid-century beach cottage tucked into the trees at the top of a quiet hill in Heceta Beach. Built in 1956 and lovingly preserved, this 840 sq. ft. retreat sleeps 4 and offers a rare glimpse into the area’s coastal history — with charming vaulted ceilings, rustic cedar walls, and quirky architectural details throughout.

Just 1.5 blocks from the sand, it’s easy to enjoy long beach walks, sunset views, and the sounds of crashing waves. Inside, the open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area make gathering easy, whether you're preparing meals, playing games, or relaxing by the electric fireplace on a cool coastal evening.

Step outside to an 8x20 wind-protected deck—fully fenced and gated for your four-legged family member. The deck, accessible right off the kitchen, catches morning and early afternoon sun and features a picnic table perfect for casual outdoor dining.

Though officially a 1-bedroom home (due to one shared closet), you'll find two separate sleeping areas: one with a queen bed, the other with a king. The full bathroom includes a shower-tub combo, and there’s a dedicated laundry room with a washer and dryer for your convenience.

A true Heceta Beach original, On Beach Time blends retro charm with everyday comfort — ideal for couples, small families, or anyone craving a peaceful getaway just moments from the shore.

This is a cozy cottage that is very welcoming, very clean and has a well-stocked kitchen. Check-in was seamless and the host makes sure everything is ok. Beds are comfortable. Lots of little extras that make the place homey.

I love this place. The cottage is cozy, with big windows that catch the sunset, a fenced deck that my dogs and I both loved, a well-equipped kitchen, and the bed was super comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, the beach is a quick walk away (although a steep hill to climb on the way back) and it’s huge and empty. Florence is a nice little town. The center, with restaurants and shopping, is a few miles away with lots of useful stuff (like grocery stores) in between. Yachats and Cape Perpetua are not far. When one of my dogs got sick on the last day and I had to extend my stay, management was flexible. I’ve adopted this place and hope/plan to return next year.

Wonderful relaxing getaway

Everything about our stay went great! It was easy to locate, and clean and nice when we got there. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room for us and our fur baby. We enjoyed being close to the beach and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. Would definitely stay again.

It would of been nice without the smell.

As soon as you walked in, you could smell the damp musty/mildew. I had a hard time breathing and had to wear a mask so I could sleep in the bedroom. I get there by the ocean but really should not have carpeting without a proper dehumidifier.

Perfect location!

We had a great stay at this home. The owner put a lot of thought into making it a comfortable and cozy place for guests. Everything was very clean and having the washer/dryer included was very convenient. We were able to bring our golden retriever and I think he just had the best time ever with the proximity to the beach and nearby hiking trails. I would definitely recommend this vrbo.

I was so impressed with the warmth and coziness of the home. Very welcoming, in fact a lovely card & note was there to welcome me. I loved the comfort, the homey, beachy decor, all of the extra touches to make it especially nice and the peace and quiet. Would love to visit again in the near future. Thank you!

Excellent beach house

We loved staying in this cozy home. Leslie was excellent at commmunicating with me, and helped replace the broken coffee pot immediately. It's just a 5 minute walk to the beach and the little view of the ocean was just enough to feel like you're right on the beach. We also appreciated the beach toys for my toddler. It's a very well thought out rental and one that I would visit again.

The house was perfect for two couples. The decor is tastefully done. It was stocked with everything needed and more…books, games, first aid kit. The kitchen included enough dishes, utensils, drink ware and cookware options. The location was perfect for walking to the beach or a quick drive to Florence. We visited Thor’s Well and Heceta lighthouse. We hope to return when we visit the area again.

Florence stay

Super comfortable king size bed; quiet stay, but you need to enjoy the sound of roosters and chickens from next door; its something to consider. The nice neighbor did offer us fresh eggs anytime! Taking garbage out is a bit difficult and not easy for seniors and the brick walkway can be dangerous; lots of bricks raised up. Nice and close to beach. We had a nice rest
