Octopus Garden is a seaside cottage set up on sand dunes along the central Oregon coast. This is a classic retro 1950s cottage with spectacular front-row views of the Pacific Ocean, shoreline, and beach. Since it is just two doors down from beach access, beach exploration here is endless, with golden-brown fine sand, no insects, and no litter. As this is one of the more remote stretches of the western seaboard, there are no high-rise hotels or condos—just cabins spaced apart, offering a unique feeling of being almost alone with the vast ocean and shoreline. Wildlife is abundant, including birds and sea creatures. I have personally seen seals, and guests have reported seeing whales passing by while staying at the cottage. Eagles are also frequently seen soaring overhead and landing on the beach. Horseback riding is available nearby, including beach rides, as well as abundant hiking trails, especially around Cape Perpetua. Numerous scenic trails can also be spotted while driving along Highway 101 from Florence to Yachats. The beautiful Heceta Head Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters are perched on a cliff near the cottage and are stunning in both location and architecture. Volunteers are often available to provide information and short tours. The Sea Lion Caves offer a unique opportunity to observe sea lions safely in their natural habitat. Visitors can view them through glass and learn about their behavior. There is also a gift shop offering a variety of items for all ages. Yachats has a fun, welcoming vibe with charming shops and great places to eat. One favorite is “Just Local,” which sells handmade crafts and kitchen goods with local style and flair. Another favorite is Luna Sea Fish House, known for fresh daily-caught seafood in a lively atmosphere. I once had lunch there while being entertained by a musician playing cello and other string instruments. Florence, Oregon also offers numerous shops and restaurants, primarily in the historic Old Town area along the Siuslaw River. My favorite restaurant in Florence is the Waterfront Depot. The food and drinks are excellent, and the service is outstanding.This is a classic and historic 50’s cottage. It may be small but it is cozy and has a gigantic view of the ocean and beach. The space This is a stand alone cottage located on the Heceta Beach in Florence, Oregon. A rustic, authentic and original beach cottage. I have added a state-of-the-art septic and a large cedar deck with massive cement pilings for stoutness and safety. There are two cedar Adirondack rocking chairs on the deck for relaxing and enjoying the ocean. This is a little place with two separate bedrooms. The bedrooms are not large but comfortable. One is the master suite with a queen size bed and the other two extra long twin beds. Since the cottage was built in the 50’s, the original builder did not think doors were necessary on the bedrooms, and there is a full length curtain hanging there instead of a door which does work for privacy. The location is fantastic, up on a berm or large sand dune, and looks out over the beach and ocean. The wood pellet outdoor smoker/barbecue is not in service at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience. There are many great places of interest in the area; gorgeous scenery, Heceta Head Lighthouse, Devil’s Churn, Old Town Florence, and Yachats. Guest access Only the cottage itself is accessible, the beach is public and accessible to everyone. Other things to note The fireplace is wood burning and you are free to use as you wish. Please bring your own wood or duraflame logs to burn in the fireplace. As a business owner at the ocean, I feel it is my duty to protect the ocean as much as possible. Therefore, I am switching to environmentally and ocean safe products. I am currently switching to Mrs. Meyers, which has a broad repertoire of environmentally friendly cleaning products. I also have a recycling bin for as many recycling items as possible, but garbage is there as well. You will see two cans in the parking area. The recycling bin has a yellow lid. The garbage has bear and bird proof latches on the lid. Just squeeze the latch handle and it will open.

Octopus’ Garden A Retro Oceanfront Cottage

The ocean view was great from the house and porch with comfy rocking chairs. Beach access two doors down made it easy to go back and forth from the beach. Nice to have a full kitchen as well. Will definitely be back. Thx for a relaxing beach escape!
