Thank you for your interest in information about our ocean front home in Bandon-By-The-Sea! We hope the following information will be helpful in determining whether you would like to stay in our beach house.
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE TIMES
Check-in time: 4:00 PM or later. Check-out time: 12:00 noon.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
There is a phone in the house. All incoming calls can be received. Emergency (911), local and (800) calls can be made. However, there is a long-distance block on utgoing calls. If you have a telephone calling card with an "800" access number, you can charge LD calls to your calling card.
PETS ... NO PETS PLEASE!!
We regret that we cannot allow pets in the house due to some guests' allergies, possible flea infestation, and the extra cleaning involved (in our very limited time
between guests). There are good kennels available in the area.
BEACH ACCESS
Pretty green, but stickery, gorse grows on the bluff below the house. Good steps down to the beach are located at the Face Rock Viewpoint, which is just four houses south. The beach is wide and sandy with caves and spectacular rock outcroppings along the shore. At low tide there are fascinating tide pools and sometimes many colorful starfish around the bases of the rocks. (It is illegal to take live marine pecimens from the beach.) The beach is lovely for beach combing, picnicking, sunning, swimming (though cold!), or just walking. If you wish to ride on the beach, horses can be rented from stables south of our house along Beach Loop Drive.
HEAT
Electric units in each room are controlled individually. There is also a fireplace and firewood.

FISHING...
There is information at the Chamber of Commerce or at the boat basin at Port of Bandon near Old Town.

There are many other interesting things to do nearby -- take the
historic river boat trip on the Coquille River, climb the Oregon Dunes or ride a
dune buggy, tour a lumber mill in Coos Bay, pet and walk among wildlife at the
Wildlife Park, go crabbing or clamming, visit a cranberry bog, Tour a myrtle
wood factory, or visit Oregon's vineyards. And best of all....enjoy Bandon's
beautiful beaches!!
