The Bay Window is a newly renovated, SECOND STORY (stairs) stand-alone apartment facing the majestic Siuslaw River. There are two main king bedrooms (4) guests, and one twin hide-away bedroom-(perfect for one extra guest). We are centrally located in the bustling restaurant and gallery district of Florence, Oregon. Renovations on this historic 1930’s building were complete in February 2022.
Although the Bay Window is a new listing, we also own and operate the VRBO listings: the Little Beach Bungalow, the Tides, and the Dunes. We are very attentive hosts and we’re looking forward to hosting our newest property!!
Be assured that our experienced housekeeping staff (myself included) is going above and beyond to clean ALL touch surfaces (door knobs and cabinet handles, light switches, heating controls, remote controls, etc), with proper sanitizing cleaning supplies, we are rotating from our stored linens complete sets of towels and linens between guests, and are opening doors and windows to allow fresh coastal air to circulate between each stay. We are also providing cleaning supplies and sanitizers for our guest’s person use.
Important: We love our property and our downstairs business neighbor. Please no parties or rambucious behavior.

We are located in the busy Old Town restaurants & shopping district. Here are some parking tips!
1. I always try for street parking in front of the Bay Window building. If there isn’t anything immediately available,
2. then I park in front of the gazebo, or double park to unload.
3. Street spaces open up very frequently, and there are several side streets close to the building. The busiest time in Old Town (Bay Street) is the dinner hour, otherwise parking is generally easy to find close to the front door or on side streets.
4. Parking is readily available in the evenings, but if necessary there is additional parking in the lot in front of the Bodega Food & Wine Parlor. The spaces for First American Title are available after 5pm.
We are currently on a waiting list for reserved parking, but even that is a block away. So I highly recommend parking on Bay Street for the most convenient parking.
(Re: Early check in - it’s important to pre arrange early check in for two mainreasons.First, to allow our housekeeping staff to work without interruption. Second, our electronic lock system is set up for an after 4pm arrival. The locks will not open for your code before 4pm on check in day. I’m happy to provide free pre arranged early check in whenever it is possible. 🙂)
Come and enjoy the beautiful Oregon Coast
