There are many structures that could satisfy the criteria.

Your structure,

${CH}_{3} {-CH=CH-CH=CH-O-CH}_{2} -OH$ $"CH"_3"-CH=CH-CH=CH-O-CH"_2"-OH"$

is one of them.

It has both an alcohol and an ether functional group.

It does not matter where you put the $O$ $"O"$ atoms, except that the $OH$ $"OH"$ group should be on a saturated carbon.

An $OH$ $"OH"$ group on a $C=C$ $"C=C"$ double bond is called an enol.

An enol is usually unstable and rearranges to an aldehyde or a ketone, but it is still an acceptable structure.
