LIGHTHOUSE WAY OCEAN VIEW HOME

We loved our stay here and hope to come back again. This little gem is perfectly situated on a cliff overlooking a mostly private beach, right on the Pacific Ocean. There is newly constructed beach access right in the back yard that is easily navigable on the way down; however, the last steps at the bottom are a little dicey going down. There wasn’t any public access to the beach below, only homeowners or renters would have access from the houses above, which makes it a very private and quiet beach.

The house is nestled in between the state parks on one side and Bastendorf Beach on the other. We enjoyed the beaches and seeing all kinds of wild and sea life: Seals, a goose family, seagulls, sea anemones, mussels, orange, purple-ish, and red starfish.

The kitchen had several items already there such as salt, pepper, other spices, rice, etc. Remember ice! The windows in the living room were great to sit and watch the oceans and the boats go by. We rinsed off the windows with the hose after a morning of fog and rain and it vastly improved the view. We bought fresh fish down at the market by the bridge and had delicious salmon and cod for dinners. The fish was just delicious.

The two bedrooms are spaced apart and private. The upstairs, master bedroom has its own bathroom with a long, double vanity and a sunk-in tub that one steps down into from floor level. It’s huge and deep. The bed in the master bedroom is a double bed and was not great for two people. There is a deck off of the master bedroom that was fabulous. The other bedroom downstairs had a queen.

The drive into Coos Bay was easy. We ate the most delicious fish and chips down at the wharf, in a little place on the docks. We also had a nice meal at Shark Bites. The fish tacos and fish and chips were great.

When we arrived, the house looked exactly like the pictures. The house was very clean and the yard was well-maintained. I loved how it was furnished and decorated. When we needed to ask a question of the owner, she was very responsive and answered our questions immediately. Working with Kathy on this rental was a breeze.

The other thing my husband and I loved about this house was that this is a property that I can see us renting at virtually any time of the year. Because the windows face the ocean, even on cold and windy days in the house, we still got to enjoy the ocean. It was exactly the kind of vacation we wanted.
