Property and Location are Marvelous
We stayed 4 nights at Whales Watch. We found the property clean, and VERY well equiped to cook or bake. We felt like we were in our own house. The location, just steps from Haceta Beach can't be beat, we could take a walk on the beach several times a day and totally exhaust our dogs. It is also located an easy drive a many coastal hikes and tourist sites to help fill the days when you want to be more active than beach combing. BUT the best is just relaxing at the property enjoying ocean sounds and views.

Well Rested Stay
It was just as pictured and advertised, right on the beach in a nice quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed it immensely. We were in the middle of a four week vacation and used this week to rest and relax on the beach. It was absolutely great!! If we get to this region again, we will stay here again. We both loved it!!

Great Place to unwind
The weather was awesome! Except for some wind on a couple of the days. But all in all it was a great time. The house was clean when we arrived, and it is steps from the ocean. A wonderful place to stay and the owner even was kind enough to send us a watch that we left behind. I highly recommend this place!

Great beach stay
This is such a cute and clean little place right next to the beach. You can literally walk right out the door and onto the sand. No neighbor to one side which is amazing. Great views! They had everything you could need.

Whales Watch felt welcoming as soon as we walked in. Everything you can think of is provided, from the incredibly well stocked kitchen to the comfort and warmth of the king sized bed. The personal touches of the decor are wonderful and the view of the ocean is exactly what we needed for our getaway. Thank you so much!

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!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We enjoyed our walks on the beach, visiting Heceta Head Lighthouse, hiking the Hobbit Trail, and dining at the Florence restaurants. The house had all the conveniences of home and it was wonderful to be right on the beach!

The views are amazing from this adorable apartment!
Quaint, quiet town with a laid back beach feel. Leslie has created an eclectic and comfortable apartment with amazing views. You can walk right out onto the beach and watch all the wildlife you want from the kitchen/living room. Unfortunately, the wildfires kept the air quality low, but fortunately that gives us an excuse to come back after the fires! If you need anything or have any concerns Leslie is right there to help out! Check out Nosh and Restobar in Florence for amazing dinner options!

Great place was very clean and quaint. I couldn't have dreamed of a better location right on the beach. we could walk out the door onto the beach. We walked on the beach every morning for about 3 miles. Bob was great to talk to. Leslie was very accomadating. We have only been gone 1 day and we already miss Whales Watch.

Beautiful Heceta Beach
The property and location are perfect for beach lovers. On the Oregon coast in June few people are in the cold water but it is spectacularly beautiful to view and walk on the expansive beach. Leslie was great and the property is amazing. The layout and availability of beach supplies, piano, books, cocktail mixing set and recipes assure entertainment in any weather. We had only sunshine and enjoyed the drive to Old Town Florence for terrific meals.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Enjoyed the comfortable space and proximity to the ocean. Lots of charming touches that felt special. Town is not far either, everything was so convenient. Big recommend to Little Brown Hen in Florence for a hefty, well-made breakfast.
