The Sandy Spur

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

This vacation home offers ocean views and a secret hideaway in the 'tower' - a spot that's just perfect for kids to play (or if a parent wants a private reading space!). From the living room's large picture windows, guests will have a view of the waves rolling in. The outdoor deck (where the private gas grill is stored) is an ideal place to enjoy the breeze and the fresh ocean air.

There is a path to the beach two blocks from the house! Once out on the sand, you can stroll along the 10-mile stretch of beach admiring the rolling waves. Walk along the beach for a few minutes to the Surfside Restaurant (one mile away by car) for some fish tacos or stuffed French toast. Wander the galleries or stop by the Waterfront Depot for their famous crab-crusted halibut (just over six miles by car). Seeking adventures while on vacation? Visit the Siuslaw River with your fishing gear six miles away, or head out to the ocean for some deep-sea fishing - there are charters that leave daily right from the coast at Florence and Coos Bay. A short 27 miles drive south is the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, where guests can observe the ATVs and dune buggies navigate the sand.

Great yellow house

We had a lovely time! The house was awesome, comfy beds, hot hot tub, great ocean views! Well stocked kitchen for cooking at home. Foosball table was a hit! The walk to the beach is easy and this part of the beach is very sandy and open. We really enjoyed our stay! 100% would book again!

Great rental that felt like home

We really enjoyed staying here. There was 8 of us and we did have to blow up an air mattress in the living room for one couple but it really was a great weekend away from home. Felt very home like.

Funky

We loved the hot tub. We loved the view. We all slept well so good beds but one was very squeaky and I noticed a review from 5 years ago about a squeaky bed so no follow through. Old smelly rugs. Cobwebs above bed. Semi-equipped kitchen. So much potential. Hope it gets cleaned up.

Cute, quirky fun home in a good location

Overall this was a fun house to stay in for a couple of nights for our family of four. enough rooms and beds for everyone and then some, the foosball table and hot-tub were a hit, a short walk to the beach for walks, and a short drive to town for restaurants and more.

Cozy and perfect

We loved staying here! The hot tub worked well and the string lights were a lovely addition for night time soaks. My kids loved going up in the tower for alone time. The kitchen was a great size for us to make all our meals, and the games we found got lots of use. Many good memories made, and only about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Thank you so much!

Great Beach house making memories

We had a great time the house is a short walk to Heceta beach and it was wonderful. The house is very clean and had everything ww needed except food. We went to the old town city hall parking lot and watched the beautiful fireworks display they put on for the 4th of July. The house is a little old and has some creaky stairs but that was all part of our vibe. Our family is old and a few of us have some creaking going on so we fit like a glove. Thanks for letting us make some great memories.

Good location

The house was practical for our family of four and small dog. The TV in the main room had really bad reception and constantly turned to static which was frustrating trying to watch the Olympics. The view of the ocean would be nice but the windows were so dirty you couldn’t see it. Otherwise nice kitchen and bedrooms.

Okay place

Great location, big house. Great view. However, there is no heat in the bedrooms. Bad wifi service. House smelled like dogs. Very dusty. Knifes were so dull not safe to use.

Needs repairs

The house smells like cigarette smoke, several of the lights in the kitchen lightbulbs are out, fireplace. Looks like it hasn't worked for years. There's been large holes in the walls that were replaced over and not painted.

Great location. Good value for money. Cool house, would be a great place for kids... the turret is pretty special and has a nice view of the beach. Located at the end of the street on top of a hill, so lots of privacy. Very quiet. Hot tub is fantastic. Kitchen is well equipped. 5 minute walk to the beach, about 1/4 mile. Vacasa is great. You can contact them via text or phone anytime and they address problems quickly. Large organization, but they always have local employees that live in the area. The unfortunate: homeowner for this property is neglecting some maintenance.... It is a beach house, and beach houses (while full of character) can be a little rough around the edges. That's FINE and EXPECTED. What's not fine, is the smell in the lower level. It's obvious that this is something they are trying to mask, but it needs to be addressed. Very foul odor, mold-like, coming from the laundry water line. My suggestion would be to call a plumber and have the line cleaned, this would help.Also.... I've never seen a dirtier furnace/HVAC system in my life. It's a fire hazard. It needs service. It needs to be cleaned. Despite these problems (not doing laundry or running the HVAC during my stay) the house is a very nice place to stay!! Lots of room to spread out. Comfortable beds, nice view! The house is adorable.... but I was a bit disappointed with the shortcomings on the homeowner's side. I hope this review helps get issues addressed. :)

Good but not great

We enjoyed the view of the ocean and the location, but there were a few quirks. The downstairs has a pretty musty smell which I assume is caused by the leaking door in the bonus room. The garbage disposal does not work and there is limited options for tv.

Good value stay.

We booked for 7 adults, the place was advertised to accommodate 9. There are only 3 beds available. There was metal one cot/frame in the bonus room, but it did not have a mattress, so we ended up having to purchase an air bed and pump. Owner did process a refund promptly, so that was very much appreciated. Furniture has seen better days, but it’s functional. The grill was accessible and nicely situated close to the kitchen. There were kitchen utensils and appliances available- they are all very well used but still works. There was a Keurig machine and a traditional coffee maker but only regular coffee and filters are provided. I didn’t expect the coffee provided, so it was nice to not have to buy it. Hot tub has little privacy from the street, but it’s a quiet dead end street. I think the goal was to keep the ocean view, but you can’t really see it from that angle. Driveway is a bit awkward, we had a large SUV and I would not have been comfortable with a second or third car in the driveway. The walk to the beach isn’t awful, but it’s not the most scenic either. Ocean view that was advertised is just meh- only viewable from the living room and turret room, but still nice to have. It was a cozy stay with enough room to have people spread out and have privacy when needed. It was a nice home base for the activities we had planned.

Run down

The house is close to a beach access. But the house itself is run down and dirty. The beds are so uncomfortable. The couches have gross covers on them and are so broke down they hurt your back. The dinning chair legs are wobbly thought they would brake. Foosball table legs are so wobbly thought it would brake. The shower control didn’t work and must have a tiny water heater. Only enough hot water for 2 people. No heat in the bathroom, it was broken. Windows are so dirty, and seals broken you can’t see out hardly any of them. The front burners on the stove don’t work. The only good thing was the location and they had plenty of towels.

Hot Tub was empty?

We were so excited to get away and have a nice vacation, but there were issues at this place. The hot tub was empty. We were told it was out of service but the listing showed it as functional. The carpets were so dirty, I kept my shoes on. The cupboards needed wiped down. Some of the light bulbs needed replaced. The kitchen had no fan above the stove, and there were holes in some of the walls behind some of the doors. Not my favorite place.

Beautiful Location!

My friends and I needed a location to escape too, and play D&D. This was it. The house is just as advertised! Within walking distance of the beach, and driving distance from Florence. Just be aware, you definitely do have neighbors here! The only thing i can say was wrong with the place, is that there were no oce trays in there. We thought of bringing our own pots and pans, as that has been necessary in the past. But the fact they didnt have an ice tray really sucked and we ended up having to buy a whole bag of ice and putting it in there. Otherwise, this place is awesome and we're already talking about doing it again next year!

Disappointed

The hot tub was broken and it was 3 days before I got any information from VACAS rental company. They said it wasn’t listed in the amenities but it showed on Expedia. Half of the lights in the home were burnt out. One of the beds creaked so loud every time you moved even a little on it. The sheets wouldn’t stay on the bed. They kept coming off the corners. There was trash off the right side of the home down the hill. NOT what we expected.
