Perfect location for visiting Charleston and the parks just south of there. The rental was clean and the hosts very friendly and helpful. View from the common patio of the Charleston boat basin is wonderful.
John and Candy are amazing hosts. Coos Bay is me and Jays home away from home and we are so grateful we were finally able to stay on their property. The views are amazing, everything is clean and it really feels like a second home. We cant wait to stay there again. When chatting with Candy we discovered some connections with people we both know and look forward to connecting more. We appreciated our space as well but loved the connection we made.
The apartments are small but comfortable and very nicely furnished. The hosts are extremely friendly and accommodating. The view from the common areas is great - especially the ability to use their telescope to look at birds, etc. on the water. Shore acres and Sunset beach are mere minutes away. All round an excellent experience- well worth coming back to.
Very Nice cottage for a long weekend. We played golf at Bandon during our stay so we didnât utilize the cottage much. Very good restaurant called Millers in town to eat. Overall good stay
This is the second year I have stayed here and it was every bit as delightful as last time. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly, the cottage is very clean and comfortable. It was a wonderful place to unwind and rejuvenate! I will definitely be back
We had the chance to stay in Coos Bay. Cottage was cute and quaint. Only downside is room "A" was right next to the road that links Charlestown to Coos Bay so bring some ear plugs. Ear plugs were perfect for me and I slept soundly.
Great Sushi bar up the road. The owners were very welcoming and that was also a bonus. Would stay again!
First, if u don't like cigarettes, this isn't the place to stay. Otherwise it was great. Very cute and cozy. The kitchen has everything u need including dishes, cutlery, cookware. There's also some basic spices and tea and coffee for those who like to still make their own while vacationing. There's plenty of blankets and pillows as well as toiletries. We adored this rental and found ourselves wishing the cigarette smell wasn't so bad so that we could come back. The cigarette smell was a very current and long time smoked in smell. This is confusing as it's supposed to be a nonsmoking rental. We used some air freshener and that helped. However the next day when we left we smelled like the ashtray smell. It was a bit embarrassing. The housekeeper mentioned to the hosts the presence of the air freshener and the owners apologized about the odor. They said that they were unaware of the issue. Although this is a mostly thumbs up review all together, we would never have stayed at this rental with knowledge of the odor.
This was our second time staying at the cottage. Itâs cozy and welcoming with everything we need. Candy and John are great hosts! The location is perfect for yummy seafood and Shore Acres State Park. Weâll be back next year for holiday lights!
Cute cottage, a little bigger than I expected. Nice view. It's to bad the city doesn't allow guests to use the hot tub. Unexpected refrigerator in the unit a big plus. John (property manager), is very nice and helpful. The availability of a crab pot cooker is wonderful. The cottage was very clean (just one unwelcome big spider, my husband took care of). The road by the unit is busy and noisy. The best part they use unscented laundry detergent/dryer sheets for all bedding materials!!! Highly recommend staying here and we will be back. Thank you.
I was greeted in the morning at the local ocean park by a mother deer and 2 fawns who graciously allowed me to watch & take pictures. I spent the day wandering around the area and looking for various ocean views and beaches to enjoy - ended the day by watching a mother whale and her young one swimming out in the Pacific. Then I came back to the cottage and enjoyed a good night's sleep. Great way to spend my 70th birthday!!!
Pictures are accurate (really). Very clean with comfortable furniture and larger, well-stocked kitchen (really). Space to move around. Liked the hardwood floors. Great for a vacation get away or a business stay. I had Unit A which did not have a direct water view and was close to the road so there was some traffic noise. But doable. Other units would be preferable if available.
Restaurants around and short jump to town.
Don't forget to ask about George!
I had an amazing experience while in Coos Bay and part of it was because of my accommodations. The price was very reasonable, the rental unit totally exceeded my expectations and the hosts were the most friendly and gracious hosts I've met. I usually go to Coos Bay once a year for a get-together with fellow swimmers, so I will definitely be visiting here again! Thank you John and Candy
We are a retired couple, John a federal wildlife biologist, Candy a swim coach and airline employee, and both former Nebraska farmers. We consider ourselves adventurous, spontaneous, budget travelers and love meeting new people to share travel experiences.
We have lived in the immediate area since moving to Coos Bay from Corvallis in 1999. We recently moved into a home that we thought would be a perfect place to share with others in beautiful Charleston, on the southern coast of Oregon. We enjoy outdoor activities, birdwatching, hiking, kayaking and just observing the wonders of nature.
We felt fortunate to happen across this wonderful part of our country, the best overall climate we have ever encountered, fresh air, and plenty of room to wander to our heart's content, without the hustle and bustle found in so many other places. We love the diversity of habitats in the area and the associated diversity of bird species that are regularly seen. The views and solitude of walking on a private beach provide a never ending source of enjoyment and relaxation. We felt even more fortunate to have the opportunity to acquire additional similar property within 500 feet of our home. We always considered this property as having great potential as a vacation rental, and now we are trying to make that dream come true.
