About the neighborhood
Our home is tucked is at the end of a dead end street, in a peaceful North Bend neighborhood where coastal forest and water views along the Oregon coast come together. The neighborhood offers a private, residential feel while keeping you close to the beaches, waterways, outdoor recreation, and local attractions that make this area so special.
North Bend is a wonderful home base for exploring the Southern Oregon Coast because it gives you easy access to both nature and town. You'll find a mix of longtime coastal communities, local businesses, waterfront spots, restaurants, breweries, shops, and outdoor adventures throughout North Bend and neighboring Coos Bay. It's a great area for travelers who want to experience the Oregon Coast without feeling like they're staying in the middle of a busy tourist district.
One of the biggest draws of the area is the incredible variety of landscapes within a short drive. The coastline here feels rugged and wild, with long sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, forested headlands, quiet coves, and expansive views across the Pacific. Head toward the Oregon Dunes and you'll find an entirely different coastal experience, with massive rolling dunes stretching for miles and opportunities for hiking, sand boarding, and off-road adventures.
For beach lovers, Horsfall Beach and Bastendorff Beach are nearby favorites, while Sunset Bay State Park, Cape Arago State Park, and Shore Acres State Park offer some of the most beautiful scenery on the Southern Oregon Coast. Take a scenic drive, explore a coastal trail, wander through tide pools, or find a quiet overlook and watch the waves roll in. Wildlife is abundant throughout the region, and depending on the season, you may spot seals, sea lions, whales, bald eagles, and countless coastal birds.
The bay and surrounding waterways also make this area especially appealing for anglers and water enthusiasts. Fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, and whale watching are all popular ways to experience the coast. If golf is your thing, the world-renowned Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is also within reach for an unforgettable day on the links.
When you're ready for a little town time, Coos Bay and North Bend offer plenty of places to grab a meal, enjoy fresh seafood, pick up groceries, browse local shops, or have a drink at a neighborhood brewery. The Coos Bay waterfront and boardwalk are great places to spend a leisurely afternoon, while The Ko-Kwel Casino offers additional dining, entertainment, and gaming.
One of the things guests love most about this part of the Oregon Coast is that you don't have to choose between adventure and relaxation. You can spend the morning exploring the dunes, the afternoon walking the beach, and the evening back at the house watching the water from the deck. Or don't make a plan at all. Grab a cup of coffee, watch the hummingbirds, breathe in the ocean air, and enjoy the view.
The Southern Oregon Coast has a slower pace and a wonderfully authentic coastal feel. It's less about rushing from attraction to attraction and more about enjoying the scenery, discovering little local gems, and making time to actually relax. Whether you're here for a family vacation, a fishing trip, a golf getaway, an outdoor adventure, or simply some much-needed time away, North Bend puts you in a perfect position to experience it all.
And at the end of the day, there's something pretty special about coming back to a quiet coastal neighborhood, stepping onto a huge wraparound deck, and watching the light change across the bay. That's the beauty of staying here; you get to experience the Southern Oregon Coast at your own pace, with nature, adventure, and beautiful water views right outside your door.

Getting around
A car is highly recommended for enjoying your stay on the Southern Oregon Coast. North Bend and Coos Bay are easy to navigate by car, and having your own vehicle gives you the freedom to explore the beaches, state parks, scenic viewpoints, Oregon Dunes, restaurants, golf courses, and surrounding coastal communities at your own pace. Many of the area's best experiences are spread along the coastline, so having a vehicle makes it easy to turn a day at the beach into a scenic drive, a hike, a seafood lunch, or an afternoon exploring the dunes.
The home is conveniently located for exploring both North Bend and Coos Bay, with local restaurants, grocery stores, shops, waterfront attractions, and everyday conveniences just a short drive away. When you're ready to venture farther, you'll have easy access to some of the area's most popular destinations, including Horsfall Beach, Bastendorff Beach, Sunset Bay State Park, Cape Arago State Park, Shore Acres State Park, and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
This is also a great location for road-trip-style exploring. Follow the coastline to discover quiet beaches, dramatic viewpoints, forested roads, charming coastal communities, and hidden gems along the way. Head south toward Bandon for a day of exploring or continue toward the world-class Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. Wherever the day takes you, having a car makes it simple to come and go on your own schedule.
Parking is available on site at the property, so you won't need to worry about finding street parking or searching for a place to leave your vehicle after a day of exploring. Simply park at the home, unload, and settle in. Having on-site parking is especially convenient for families and larger groups traveling with beach gear, fishing equipment, golf clubs, coolers, luggage, or outdoor recreation equipment.
For guests flying into the area, the property is within driving distance of the regional airports serving the Southern Oregon Coast. A rental car is recommended for the easiest and most flexible experience once you arrive.
Public transportation and rideshare options are more limited than you would find in a larger city, and many of the area's beaches, parks, trails, and attractions are not easily accessed without a vehicle. If you want to experience the coast beyond the immediate neighborhood, plan on driving.
The good news is that driving here is part of the experience. Coastal roads wind through forests and along the water, and it's easy to turn the journey into an adventure of its own. Leave a little extra time for scenic stops, unexpected viewpoints, beach walks, and the occasional roadside discovery.
With convenient on-site parking and a location that makes exploring North Bend, Coos Bay, the beaches, dunes, state parks, and surrounding Southern Oregon Coast easy, you'll have everything you need to make the most of your stay.
