Florentine Waterfront Hotel

On our way home from visiting northern Oregon and Washington, we decided to take it slower back to California and wanted to stay on the coast. I stumbled across this place on Airbnb but it actually ended up being cheaper to book through their website.It was a bit of a splurge but we LOVED it. The views were stunning. We only spent a night but I would have loved staying longer and just reading on the couch and enjoying the views from the Vanilla Villa all day. The Murphy bed in the living room was actually a superior spot versus the bedroom, in my opinion.The kitchen area was basic but had all we needed to make a simple dinner and then have coffee in the morning. Note: there is not an oven but they did provide an air fryer which worked out perfectly.Definitely grab what you need while going through Florence, that’s the closest spot for stores.We enjoyed seeing the deer exploring. We super appreciated that it was a dog friendly! We love traveling with our pup but it can limit options like this.I’d highly recommend a stay here and we hope to visit again in the future.Two very small notes: there is not a table for eating. There’s one very small, low coffee table and a desk over in the opposite corner but we ate dinner with our plates on our laps. Given the kitchen setup in the room, this struck me as a bit odd. The couches were small but fit the space and were comfortable. There was an additional chair that was not comfortable at all.I’d recommend one of those tables that can fold down to almost nothing but allow opening up to eat.Regardless, these small things did not detract from our visit or enjoyment of the Vanilla Villa!
