Wow! Absolutely loved the cabin-esque home. The property was nestled next to a pretty cool state park, with beautiful Oregon trees all around. Great hot tub experience and absolutely family friendly home! Would love to come back here again.

The home was very nicely updated and the hot tub was a huge plus. Some issues with gnats in the house, but not much of a real problem at all. Perfect weather and mostly peaceful setting. Bushes added nice privacy even with some traffic in front.

3 Sands Cottage

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our vacation to Oregon and it was a very pleasant experience. When we arrived, the lights were on for us, along with a fire "burning" on the TV which provided a warm welcome. It was very clean and had plenty of towels, soaps, and kitchen utensils to use. The hot tub was an added bonus. Very private and quiet location right off highway 101. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice area away from town. You can’t swim or boat in the lake unless you rent a room or a boat from the neighbors down the road. That was a bummer. The hot tub was nice. We spent a lot of time soaking. We noticed bats flying out of the attic during the night so there’s that.

Great house to explore the area from

We had a great time in this house. It had everything we needed to explore the local area and we loved coming in from a day out to soak in the hot tub. The bedrooms having blackout blinds was a bonus for our children and these light summer evenings. We also loved that we could access Mercer Lake via a five minute walk down the road.

Great Home

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home. As we walked in there was beautiful music playing, and the house was immaculate. There was plenty of dishes, towels, multiple necessity needs were provided. We also loved having a washer and dryer. Being close to Mercer lake was wonderful and it is only a few minutes to the ocean.

Great Cabin

Everything was neat and clean. Very comfortable setting. The location was excellent - close to everything we wanted to see. We enjoyed the hot tub. It was hot and clean. A couple of negatives- the garage area was dank and smelled moldy. Possibly put a dehumidifier in. The yard in the back was very rough with a collapsing wall. Looks like it needs a lot of work. A nice grill would have been great. We needed to replace one of the smoke detector batteries. Possibly store a few in the drawer.

Peaceful Retreat!

We stayed at 3 Sands Cottage for just 2 nights but I wish I would have booked for more! I loved the outside space and as a bird watcher who lives in town, I appreciated the quiet woodsy outside that gave many different bird species room to forage and fly from tree to tree. And the mornings were filled with bird song! My favorite. I booked this cottage specifically for that reason as a lot of rentals are beautiful but do not have outdoor space that will attract birds and wildlife. The house had everything we needed. We used the hot tub and it was wonderful after a very long and tiring walk from Heceta lighthouse down to Hobbit beach! Long and wonderful! I would definitely come back again.

Description a bit misleading

The house was super clean and well stocked for all cooking needs, as in pots, pans, dishes etc. Loved the hiking trails and so did our two dogs. My one big complaint as to why I titled the description on a bit misleading is that although the house was a 1/4 of a mile from Mercer Lake, we didn't find out that it is a private lake until we got there and the only access is through the resort which you had to rent a boat of some sort to fish or swim. The description does state that, but just as a note, it could be worded a bit better to explain what the meaning of lake access. Public access was if you had your own boat, which we did not. The hot tub was also not working, so we were bummed about that as well, but the property manager was nice enough to comp us some of our money back. Luckily, the house is located near a lot of other lakes and we were able to take our dogs swimming and even got in some fishing. I would rent the house again whenever we head to Florence.

Disappointed

I’m sure there’s not enough space to describe my overall disappointment from the online pictures to what we actually got when we pulled up. This was a 25 year anniversary for my husband and I. The outside of the house was filthy with spider webs everywhere, dirty windows and the supposed outside sitting area did not exist. We then opened the door and were hit in the face with the worst mildew smell. I immediately opened what windows I could which was only the kitchen and bathroom since there were so many spiders etc on the house that I wasn’t going to let them in. We then pulled back the bedding in the main bedroom to find brown stains on the sheets. I pulled these off, searched the linen closet for more and found a cleaner mismatched set. We changed the sheets, found there was very limited amenities for ten days and made a list for the next day to shop. The next day I bought extra soaps, cleaners, TP, batteries for remote controls, candles and air fresheners. Also, we examined the towels and found these were stained and needed immediate washing. The price per night that I was charged was way over the top for what we got. We made a phone call to the property management and expressed our disappointment and requested a refund on the cleaning and supplies. He said he would call us back and never did. By the time we left, the smell in the home was bearable only because of the daily cleaning and fresh air. We definitely left this property better than when we arrived.

Comfortable stay

The house was clean, and accommodating. The Hot Tub was perfect, we have stayed places where the chlorine levels were enough to eat your skin, and this was not the case at all. The neighborhood was quiet, with the exception of the mad squirrel that enjoyed throwing pine cones, and scolding us for interrupting her fall gathering. 10/10 highly recommend staying here.

Perfect getaway!

This property was absolutely perfect. From the kitchen, inside, to the hot tub, everything was spotless and well stocked. Beds were comfortable and made for a great nights sleep after a busy day of adventures. The hobbit trail and beach were among the best places to see!

Fun in the Forest with Family!

This was an amazing Family adventure on the coast of Oregon, where the Forest meets the Sea..... This house is so cute and cozy, perfect for our small family. It also was dog friendly so we got to bring the pooch. The house is small yet elegant and was very clean. It is right by a lake and we put in our paddle board one day to have some fun in the lake. The ocean is right by us as well along with sand dunes for tons of fun on the coast. The beds where comfy and soft pillows. The only downer was the bathroom did not have a fan, and we all had to share the same bathroom...maybe some mirrors would be good in the master bedroom for me, (mom) to get ready so I don't take over the bathroom. Our family loved bringing the dog and exploring, everything around us was very dog friendly and the kiddo had so much fun in the ocean and also coming back to the house to warm up in the hot tub. We all loved the hot tub, perfect for us to warm up after the chili coastal water. If your looking for a peaceful quiet spot in the forest next to a lake, a short drive to sand dunes and the coast, with a hot tub to boot, this is the place for you! Don't forget to bring the dogs.
