Overall, we had a great reunion trip and we loved the property. There were enough beds for us and the space was comfortable and the crows nest fun. The location was great for our purposes--close to town, dunes, beach and hiking, but far enough out for peace and quiet. Our complaints were that the check in info that was electronically sent to me was incorrect. The code to unlock the door was wrong and it took some time to get hold of someone to find out how to get in at 9:00 at night. Also, the wifi code was wrong and it took a lot of back and forth communication to finally get the right code. Additionally, there weren't enough windows with screens to cool down the house properly at night. It was quite hot in the crowsnest and the room with the 2 double beds. Also, the material on the white recliner chairs is breaking down and shedding on your clothes when you sit in them--they should be replaced. However, we loved the house, the laundry facilities, the kitchen, the big dinner table, the comfortable master suite. Great place, just needs a little love and updated electronic check in info!

We had an amazing weekend at the round house! The location is perfect on the central coast to explore beaches, lakes, dunes, forests, carnivorous plants! We had some rain but just cozied up in the crow’s nest and basked in the views. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked…we felt right at home immediately! Thank you for this great opportunity to get away!
360 degree views… catch gorgeous sunrise and sunset views!
So many beaches close by! Rick hounding paradise!

We had an amazing time at the Hilltop! Everything was beautiful. We had two young children and two dogs and the house was very kid and dog friendly. We enjoyed walking around on the trails. The only thing that was disappointing was one of the mattresses (the room closest to the garage) had large saddles on both sides of the mattress, and was very uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed the house. There was plenty of room for eight people to spread out and settle in comfortably. Everyone loved the well stocked kitchen and the view as well. We were close to Florence, the beach, and lake Mercer where we rented a pontoon boat one afternoon while there.

Pros: Plenty of room for the 8 of us. Beds were comfy. Property was a fun run for our pups. Cons: doorknob fell off the bedroom door. Walls were pretty thin. A 3rd bathroom would have been great. More screened/operarional windows. We would stay again though. The crows nest was cool

About the host

Hosted by Danica Shepherd

Host profile image
One of 6 family members to be lucky enough to have inherited this beautiful property. I teach Scuba in Eugene but regularly take students to Florence and I never get sick of visiting.

Why they chose this property

Hand built by my grandfather for 7 years, the house is incredibly unique and gives you a quiet oasis close to town and the trails.

What makes this property unique

A Crow’s nest with 360 degrees of windows to view the dunes and beach. Also great for stargazing at night.
