About this property

Year Round Fun - Dog Friendly!

Welcome to Southpoint Retreat! We named this home after the southern tip of the compass rose, a navigational tool that has served sailors, fisherman, travelers, and adventurers for many years. At Southpoint Retreat in Florence, time slows down and the peaceful and relaxing environment helps you to navigate wherever you are headed.

Within a quick five-minute drive, you can be at the beach, the dunes, several freshwater fishing lakes, two golf courses, the Three Rivers Casino, horseback riding, hiking, and some of the very best food on the Oregon Coast. Just a few more minutes in the car and you will find yourself at the Sea Lion Caves and one of the most photographed and iconic lighthouses in America - Heceta Head.

Our home offers spacious accommodations for your whole family with two primary bedrooms with en suite spa-like bathrooms and cozy, plush bedding and linens. Plus, a large twin bunkbed in a third bedroom, with room for an additional playpen or cot and a cozy family room with a brand new extra comfortable sleeper sofa.

The home is large and comfortable, with two separate gathering areas and a dining room that can easily accommodate nine diners. We have lots of games to keep everyone entertained. The kitchen has every tool and appliance that you might need, including an air fryer, an Instapot, and a indoor grill. We offer onsite laundry as well.

Outside, we have an absolutely huge yard with two outdoor areas, each with their own firepit and mood lighting. And, since it is the Oregon coast, one of those is covered and includes a dartboard and drinks refrigerator. We also love dogs and are happy to host your four-legged friends (limit 2). We have a nice dog exercise area that includes an outdoor dog washing station to rinse off some of that sand before you all settle in to watch your favorite TV show on one of our three televisions or roast marshmallows on one of the two outdoor fire pits (or the indoor woodstove, if the weather turns). The home also offers two large off street parking areas that can accommodate your toy trailer or fishing boat.

Come visit us at Southpoint Retreat. Find your friends and connect with yourself. We'd love to have you.

Please note that our home is not ADA accessible.

The home was set up nicely with lots of thoughtful details like games, welcome tray, fire pit, lots of seating options inside and out, and comfy beds. Everything felt clean and well taken care of. The home had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. I recommend this place as a top pick for Florence.

Beach Vacation - Family Reunion

Had an amazing time staying at this lovely home, and enjoyed our time in Florence. Home is centrally located to all things in Florence, and a great relaxing spot to enjoy one with family. Hosts were very easy to communicate with, and the house is set up for whatever you may want to do. We did not have a pet traveling with us, but were very impressed with the “Pet Area” set up.

Perfect spot for our Coast getaway!

This is a very thoughtfully prepared home, perfect for families and pets. We loved the welcome basket, outdoor space, dog amenities and great location. The kid space was well stocked with balls, books, games and of course nerf guns! Many nerf wars were waged and a WONDERFUL time was had by all. Hope to stay again! Thank you.

Great family home for both human & fur babies.

We loved our stay. The house is just as described. We were greeted with a treat basket for us as well as our dog. The backyard was perfect for a family fun weekend. The beds were comfy & kitchen well stocked. They have spent the time to furnish & decorate very tastefully and we appreciated the attention to detail to make it a great weekend rental. Thanks again for sharing your home with us. We will be back :)

Great Florence G

This is a wonderful homebase to enjoy Florence from. It is as described- lovely decorated home, plenty of room, clean, good beds, well stocked for kitchen, games, extra blankets etc. There were so many lovely touches - a gift basket of goodies, all the makings for s'mores which we enjoyed to the fullest! We brought 2 dogs - the yard was great for them to play and romp, treats and food/water bowls were provided. The doggie wash station was especially useful after a romp on the beach. So much thoughtful hosting! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Home away from home

Garett and Claire were incredible! They don't miss any details, from welcome treats, games, beautiful home, fully stocked kitchen, extra blankets, fire pits, not to mention an incredible welcome guide that explains all the details of the home and how to find everything as well as local attractions. The pictures are completely accurate. Garett and Claire are prompt with their responses and incredibly sweet and communicative. If you are looking for a place that you can stay with serenity and with great owners then this is the place. We took our adult children and their spouses and we all fit very comfortably and truly enjoyed our time. We are looking forward to coming back again!

Fun in Florence

Great house. Central location. Everything we needed plus a great snack basket left for us on arrival. My boys gobbled it up. Only odd thing was there’d was no “guest” bathroom. Two bathrooms - each attached to a bedroom. Third bedroom was the odd man out - had to cut through another bedroom to use the bathroom. Other than that - perfect. Even a peanut butter tree in the backyard. In full bloom - beautiful and smelled wonderful! Wish our dogs were with us - there is a great set up for the fur babies! Would definitely stay again.

Great place for dogs!

Wonderful property! Really nice outdoor space. Dog friendly is an understatement. We have 2 small dogs and the fencing was well done, so we could relax knowing they would not wander off. The loved playing in the yard while we roasted marshmallows over the fire pit. The house itself is very comfortable. Separate living room and family room was great for having a quiet space. Bathrooms accessible only through the bedrooms was odd but didn’t impact our stay. Beds were comfortable and bedding clean and soft. Kitchen had every appliance I could possibly hope for, and dining table doubled as board game central. Felt very welcome with all the extra little amenities, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Garett & Claire

Host profile image
Your hosts, Garett & Claire, have always held the Oregon Coast in reverence. As kids we would come to the central coast with our families and enjoy playing in the sand and body surfing the cold waters of the Pacific NW. As adults, we have always wanted to live a more relaxed life at the beach but work always made that impossible - until 2020 when everything changed for us. We decided that life was just too short to live under someone else's rules. We wanted to enjoy the slower pace and the fresher air that comes when you move to the beautiful Oregon Coast.

Why they chose this property

We looked at how close this home was to literally everything that you can do in and around the Florence area and because it is only 5 minutes (or less) from most of the attractions, we thought it would be the perfect place to start our very first vacation rental. The proximity to riding the vast sand dunes, golfing, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, having a night at the casino, fine dining in Old Town and so much more made our decision easy.

What makes this property unique

One day in early 2022 we needed a break and took the day off to drive the coast south to Florence. Because we own a real estate company, we are always looking at homes but mainly for other clients. This home spoke to us and we put an offer in right away. Much to our surprise, we a deal in about 3 hours! The next few days, weeks and months were kinda crazy but we put so much of our heart into making this a place where families could gather, let the kids run around and the dogs had a place too. This is our first attempt at a vacation rental and we think we did a pretty good job...but ultimately, it is up to you, our guests, to thoroughly your stay, partake in all the fun that Florence offers and leave happy (maybe even exhausted from all the fun) and then return when the time is right for you!
