Weather was a nice mixture of sun, clouds, fog, rain, hail, wind and rainbows! Above average temps in March. We watched every sunset, saw many whales and enjoyed daily walks of the beach. We ate every meal here and found everything needed to prepare it – even some spices.

Thank you will & Doreen for the opportunity to stay in your Beach House. We will have fond memories of our 27th anniversary!

Jan 10 – Feb 4/2015 Tom & Karen

First 3 weeks were awesome. Then came the storms, driving rains with winds up to 90 mph. Large waves crashing against the rocks & seagulls tossed in the air. Lots of golf at Bandon Dunes & Bandon Crossings. Hikes at New River & the South Slough Estuary. Bandon Dunes has some great trails also.

Shark Bites Seafood Cafe' in Coos Bay. Bandon Ranch Viajo. Bandon Baking Co * Dell\i good eats. Great ice cream at the Langlois Market....

We so enjoyed our time i Bandon. Thank you will & Doreen for sharing this magical spot. Look forward to our 10th return next year.

Oct 18th – November 8th 2014 the Fosters Very rainy & warm. Just a few sunny days. Walking on the beach with a (-) tide. Mussels wonderful. Nice it is OK to gather them. Crabbing not as good. Too much fresh water so the locals say. Farmers Market is a wonderful spot. Wonderful fresh fish at the fish market.

Great restaurants: Blue Pacific Pacific our favorite lunch spot. Great fish menu at the Wheel House and the Edgewater is a great spot for dinner.

This is our 8th or 10th year in Bandon & one of the many hears at the Beach House. View .. Fantastic! Our 52nd year for being together. Hard to believe! We are from such a dry area, we actually enjoy the rains. That didn't hold us back at all. Do love walking the beach & watching the different waves!

Oct 18th – 25th 2014 Jeff & Deb

Beautiful sunny, chilly, rainy, 50's -60's and one really excellent rain storm. We could barely tell the difference between the sea and sky! We took a trip to the Redwoods on a drizzly day and we are so glad we did – Unbelievable! We love Bullard's Beach – long stretch of sand! The dunes were amazing. Coming from the corn fields in MN, we were amazed at the rocks – ocean -the beached. Se loved the coast.

Great restaurants: Best chowder at Bandon Fish Market – good and ample portions for breakfast at Minute Cafe – The wheelhouse was a pleasant dinner surprise – We ate VERY well and as much fish and seafood as we could.

Our visit was a celebration of our 40th anniversary and we loved every moment. Having this little home as our anchor to return to helped to make our visit especially comfortable. Thank you very much !! We hope to return to Oregon's wonderful, awesome coast.

Weather was foggy upon arrival but sunny and spectacular Monday – Saturday. Beautiful!!! it was perfectly calm all of Friday. This was our kind of visit and after a busy summer, planned to simply enjoy this great spot. We spent the entire week in Bandon, walked on the beach, took countless pix, enjoyed a few meals “out”, simply loved this perfect get away.

Great restaurants: Face Rock Creamery is great! We had fabulous halibut at Allorio's on Sunday, our 40th anniversary ~ ate at Tony's Crab Shack & Bandon Fish Market, Both casual dining, good chowder & fish market.

This was a sentimental time, especially celebrating our 40 years of marriage. Truly feel blessed!! I have diabetes, so am very fortunate to have good health & very supportive husband & a large and loving family!! while here we received a call while down on the beach and heard our brand-new grandson cry, moments after his birth in the Midwest. What a thrill to hear that beautiful found for the 33rd time! Yes, 18 grandsons, 15 great grand daughters!!

Crabbing on the pier (Tony's Crab Shack makes it very easy!), Blueberry picking, Wildlife Safari was amazing! Lighthouse at Coquille is beautiful, hiking at shore acres was beautiful! Walking the beach at low tide is cool – kids love running up and down the huge sand dunes and climbing thru the caves. Amazing!

Great restaurants: the creamery at Face Rock is impressive - The Station House is less impressive! Edge Waters was great as were most other places in Old Town.

The weather was. Great sunny +60's some days no wind, today drizzle* crashing wave & wind, misty fog – the many moods of Bandon.

Our favorite adventures. We found Machu Pichu between Gold Beach and Port Orford. Incredible views of haystacks (rocks) from above and behind, watching the ocean crash into them from a unique ocean view. Poseidon's (sp?) mares were stampeding, manes + tails flying fiercely. In honor of my 60th birthday, and warm weather, waded into the ocean. It does beckon unexpectedly baptized, tug of war between sea and shore, finally established land mammal evolutionary niche. Beguiling, but beware, thrilling!

Great restaurants we discovered. Langlois Market grass few beef burgers+Great bacon. Tony's fish tacos. Birthday dinner at Bandon Dunes was excellent.

Other thoughts to share. Dear Doreen and Will, I chose your lovely home to enter a new decade, 60 today. You left treats and a birthday balloon for me, to greet our arrival yesterday. The day before I was walking on the dunes of Cape Kisande and saw a balloon float out to sea. I thought my angel family dear departed as I watched the balloon float higher into their realm, sensing we were having a little birthday celebration. No one ever gave me a birthday balloon before, so your gift was a little miracle. My family and I thank you for bringing a wish into reality. The balloon is a small symbol of the dreams you make real for all of us, you share this home with. Thank you!

Thank you for the treats!

Favorite restaurants: Crazy Norsetian in Port Orford, Bandon -wheel house, Billy smoth Boars, Lord Bennets (really great home made desserts)> Enjoyed the wonderful view every day from the porch out back. Had a crazy seagull visit breakfast, lunch & dinner almost every day. He would land on the deck and knock on the window with his beak. My son named min Eduardo. He had a giant friend that came with him we named Albert, he made quite a noise when he landed. Thanks for sharing your youse. We will be back.

Albert and Leslie 6-1-11 thru 6-7-11

The weather was warm and sunny for the first 3 days and kind of windy and rainy the rest. Favorite adventures were walking on the beach, going to the pier and shopping in Old Town. We went to the zoo and Port Orford for lunch. Went clamming in Charleston and overworked ourselves (:-))!

The Crazy Norwegian's in Port Orford was great!!! The chowder at Bandon fish Market was the best. Face Rock adds to the whole feel of the place. The people of Bandon are so friendly and thoughtful. Thanks so Much!

July 2010

Sharing this time with friends & enjoying the beautiful view from this cozy house.

July 2010

As always, our week at the Beach house was pure perfection. Although the weather did not exactly cooperate, we found many new, exciting things to do, and took the opportunity to enjoy Face Rock from the warmth & coziness of the living room. We all leave here with reluctance and hope that we will have the opportunity to return next summer (Bellevue, WA)

July 2010

Mon and step Dad are both gone now, but the memory of them out on the grass painting is forever etched in my memory... it was 20 years ago next month that Kimberly and I were here, yet it feels like yesterday. Thank you so much for the Note, I know mom and Dad treasured their time here. May 2010

This our fourth time in your beautiful cozy house – it feels like home away from home. Can't wait to come back next year!

March 2010

Very nice to learn about the history while in this area, being a family researcher in genealogy, one appreciates it more and in many variations.)or these placed, reflecting past lives here and the hard work they did to make what our world shows us today by the values handed down to the future generations). Thank you for this opportunity!! these rocks in view are sedimentary and metamorphic dating from the Jurassic period.

Dear Will & Doreen. Your enchanted cottage by the sea. Endearing charms endure in memory renewing us, regaining trust in loves eternal legacy you share so much with so many through your gracious hospitality. November 2009

This is the ideal beach house... My vision of what a beach house should be. So homey and well equipped for whatever one needs. We had great fun w/Boggle. Adults were shown-up by the 12 year-old. Loved walking out on the deck all times of the day and night to breath in the salt air and watch the waves. I don't want to leave!

November 2009

We'll be back! THIS HOUSE IS FABULOUS & PERFECT FOR FAMILY FUN.

October 2009

We thank God for giving us the opportunity to return to this cozy place with great tranquil scenery in order to visit our son. Relaxed but worn out, we are ready to return – hope to rest up.

This is our 3rd stay at this wonderful beach house and our 4th trip to Bandon. PARADISE! (Weyauwega, WI)

September 2009

We came here to celebrate 35 years of marriage so spent much time visiting about the many changes that the years have brought. At times, the beauty of God's nature coupled with happy conversations was almost overwhelming! We leave from here feeling refreshed, thankful and countless memories from this week return with us - memories that we will always cherish!September 2009

This place is great – we feel really blessed that we were able to spend a week here & that the weather was so nice. The views here are the best ever. We got to meet your wife – what a wonderful hostess. We will try to revisit if able.

August 2009

A rare week of sun, relaxation, and each other's company. The memories promise to last all year even after we return home to school, work and rainy days. (Prague, Czech Republic.)

May 2009 We always get a good rest and lots of books read while staying i ou5r favorite Beach House.

May 2009

Sleep well, relax, enjoy the view. There aren't many places with this view. Your didn't need a second floor to see the ocean, nor walk a lot of steps to a dock walk to the beach U watch for the low tides. Look for the orange & purple starfish- they are abundant & beautiful. Look for the sea-lions down the beach. This is my second visit and I could not think of a better place to stay! It was perfect!

April 2009

We will come back for a great vacation, so beautiful of God's creating, so many stories and so many sites. Never did see a whale, next time. Loved the people, Tony's CrabShack, Awesome guys that work there – They put up with us. SO FUN! Have fun, Go mad!!

April 2009

We've been to Bandon 15 times now. Our second stay at this wonderful house and we always discover at least one new thing every trip. We can't imagine a warmer, more welcoming place to stay. Cant wait to come back next year. (Dallas, Texas)

July 2008. mark and I don't want to leave! What a relaxing time we have had. Thank you for sharing this little bit of paradise with us! J&M, Madison, Wisconsin.

March 2009

Beautiful view from this house. We loved every minute in Bandon and plan to revisit.

Count not ask for a better view. Home is well furnished and cozy.

July 2008. this felt like a second home – a true beach cottage. S. lived in Bandon years ago and has always loved it. The house is “Old Bandon” to her, in the best sense of the word.

Daniel feels close to Bandon & is an inveterate birdwatcher. This was heaven. L. is S's. Sister visiting from Arizona. She was enchanted with the house & of course the fabulous location. Thank you so much for a place to rest and be. SA, LG & DR.

June 2008. what a great place. Every comfort of home. It was wonderful to wake up to the beautiful seascape. Don't miss the beach at low tide. It's amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

April 2008.

Jerry's Rogue River Jet Boats is fantastic! Try and fit that in!

The house is so wonderful. We have enjoyed our stay a lot. Weather permitting or not, we walked on the beach, shopped & are. Expressions is a great shop. My sisters favorite. I liked the Wool Co. , Macaroni & cheese at Bandon Bill's was great. Chowder at Bandon Boatworks was the best ever and fish & chips at Bandon fish Market was excellent also. Tomorrow is Coos Bay and Thursday is Jerry's Rogue Jet Boats. Friday more beach combing. Thank you for a wonderful week. We really have enjoyed our stay P of Idaho & G of Calif (sisters who meet just to see each other).

May 2008 We had a wonderful time in Bandon. The house is beautiful and cozy. The view is amazing and we will miss waking up and watching the waves crash over the rocks. Bandon is our favorite place to vacation and one we encourage our extended family to come visit. There are so many things we can do here. We spent our week relaxing, fishing, exploring the many beaches and tide pools, shopping in Old Town Bandon, trying new restaurants, and flying kites. I am glad we got to share some of these many wonderful things with our two small children. They loved playing in and near the ocean of “course. The Bandon vacation would not be the same without being able to stay in this house. You keep a welcoming beautiful home that has everything we need to make our Bandon vacation complete. Thanks, M., A., T., L., J & H. Mc.

May 2008. it way a very short stay – always is when I'm at the ocean! You have been so helpful & kind. It's wonderful that they share their ocean home with others. I just happened to find this home on the internet & gave them a call & they arranged for us to have a great week-end.

The home was cozy, the scenery was beautiful, being with family was wonderful. I'll be leaving with fresh, new, happy memories. I finally got to see the sunset on the ocean with clouds glowing pink & red. Beautiful enough to take your breath away.- Thank you and I'll be back!! R.H.

May 2008

We couldn't have asked for a better place to honeymoon. Thanks so much for making the week special for us. This really is a magical place. It was so much more than we expected. There were new surprises at every turn. It was fun to watch the storms roll in from the ocean and the sun sparkling on the water. Thanks for the wonderful memories! R&S P.

March 2008.

Jan and I had a wonderful stay as always! Hunkered down for most of the week watching the wind blow and rain fall. We read, sketched and watched movies. We celebrated our wedding anniversary last night on Good Friday at the Wild Rose (still excellent meals) and now we head home on a cloudless day. But that is OK – if we wanted sun all week we would have gone to Mexico. So Jan and I Hope you are doing well and thank you for the pleasant stay. D&J

March 2008.

Dad and I had a great time! The weather was nice about half the week and we enjoyed the view while the weather was clear. We celebrated Dad's birthday on Wednesday by driving down to Port Orford and eating at the Crazy Norwegians (we're Norwegian, so we got shirts)> We explored some tide pools. Drove up and down the coast, played cards and watched movies. It was a great week. Thanks for the great house & I hope we come again! M&L H.

Jan 2008.

Another sunny day and the Rock Lady is her usual lovely self. The tides have been high and around mid-day so we've saved out beach walks for late afternoon with gorgeous sunset shots. Even with a “flat” ocean, the waves on the beach by Flora's lake were spectacular; we'll put that on our list of wave watching spots.

Thanks again; the construction next door was not a bother. T&N.

January 2008

Another wonderful stay in your cottage by the sea. We experienced all types of weather. Even SNOW! Snow at the beach – how beautiful. The fish & chips at the Crazy Norwegians in Port Orford is worth the trip. Old Town Pizza & Pasta in Bandon has the best pizza ever!

Took a Hawaiian quilt class at “Forget-Me-Knots” and pieced together two quilt tops. What fun!

And we had a break in the weather that allowed 3 rounds of golf at Bandon Crossings. A fun and challenging course. Thank you for sharing your home. K&T m. Black Butte, OR.

December 2007.

Our month here was wonderful. We experienced the storm of the decade, read several novels, walked the beaches for agates and simply relaxed. We found the house and its history comfortable and interesting. Out daughter and her family enjoyed Xmas with us. We “beached”, played golf and also had fun playing with the sea gulls. Now we're off to the Southeast until May ---. thanks for your helpfulness and the use of your home in Bandon. T&D B. Bend, OR. thanksgiving 2007.

We have been so blessed to find this jewel, a perfect cottage on our wonderful Oregon Coast. Our weather was wonderful. Sharing it with our family has made a memory we won't forget. Thank you for all your hard work keeping your home so special & sharing it with all of us.

We hope to see Face Rock again. The Y's, Eugene, Oregon.\

I've been visiting Bandon for over 20 years and each time I struggle as the time approaches to leave! Your wonderful “Beach House” makes it all the more difficult. What a treasure in all ways! I hope to become one of “ your return guests”. The weather was amazing – walked on the beach in a T-shirt! Thank you for taking such good care of this little gem so we can all experience a little Bandon History.

K.S. Truckee, CA

November 2007. we have decided that this our favorite hide-away on this planet. We started out several years ago like staying here for a week but recently we realized that two weeks would be better. Now we think that three weeks would be more satisfying. We love this house. We love Bandon. We love Cape Arago & Shore Acres & we love you two. It was so nice seeing you. Thank you for sharing & we look forward to next time. D&J E, Garden Grove, CA

November 2007

Another wonderful week at Face Rock. Love walking on the beach even in the rain. Crabbing was successful and crabs delicious. Now on our way home. J&T B, Salmon, Idaho. :-(.

October 07

Our second stay was as wonderful as our first!! Glorious weather from warm sunny days to vintage coastal storms – all allowing us to get a lot of reading, golf, and watching the ocean done. Thank you for providing a warm, cozy cottage by the sea. The view remains breathtaking! The P's, Silver Springs, MD.

September 2007. thanks so much for a truly wonderful week. We've been wandering up and sown the Northwest Coast from British Columbia down to CA border over the last 12 years and here we found yet another unique jewel. Thank you! D., T. & R Seattle.

Sept. 2007.

Thank you for providing us with this wonderful, sun-filled week on the beautiful Oregon Coast. We will miss not seeing Face Rock and the glorious sunsets. J&P H. Chaska, Minnesota thank you for a wonderful week & getaway! D, L & I

August 2007.

Well... where should I start? I'll start by saying that this has been one of the most wonderful weeks I have ever spent on vacation; it's such a pity that we leave tomorrow! This house has truly been a home away from home, with its small cottage charm, cozy rooms, gorgeous view, and vast collection of puzzles (an absolute essential for a jigsaw fanatic like me). I'll never forget beach combing (and finding the most amazing tide pools!) or rushing down to the beach with my camera to catch a sunset. This September when I go back to school, I'll sit in my classroom, but rather than the algebra problem n the board, I'll be remembering the Face rock view in my mind. Thank you x 1 million. J.V.

May 2007. groups of “Ladybug” friends enjoyed retreat in beautiful guest house here at Bandon Beach. We were granted warm, clear weather and were treated graciously by local merchants. Had a great time & hope to return one day.

It was perfect. Thank you for all the comfort and convenience.

May 2007.

We are so thankful to have experienced a week @ the Oregon Coast thoroughly enjoying the natural environment around your cozy Beach cottage! Our children delighted in a game of croquet, discovering a mouse near the house, flying a kite in the ocean front yard, viewing the seabirds & fishing vessels from the picture window..... along the beaches, we explored rock formations @ caves, identified various marine life in the tide pools (starfish – gobies – anemones – shore crabs – eels – shrimp – mussels – barnacles – chitons ) & even constructed our own “beach fort” of driftwood for respite while meandering around the Face Rock environs.

Other adventures included a day around Shore Acres & “ Sunset Bay”, as well as several jaunts around old town in & out of the unique shops & appreciating all the public art projects along the marina.

This week for us was truly a blessed gift of much needed family connectedness & time to embrace both the simplicity & magnificence on God's beautiful creation!

Edmund, Colleen, Merritt & Madeline.

April 2007. what a wonderful and relaxing time we have had in your beach house! The view of the beach and Face Rock is beautiful. We've enjoyed gorgeous weather as our family explored the beach, had wonderful walks, intense croquet tournaments, some wandering in Old town, and fun riding ATV's on the dunes. Thank you for making this a home away from home for your guests – we appreciated the special touches – like the cranberry treats – yummy! Those didn't last long with a 15 year old boy and 11 year old girl!

We were certainly tell others of this great place!

Doreen and Will, we have felt sooo comfortable in your sweet house here on the bluff. Company came & left us with a dew days of solitude in between. Peeps greeted us most every day rain or shine. We hope to return at a different time of year.

G&C, Anderson, CA.

Feb/Mar 2007. we have so enjoyed our stay in your cottage by the sea. The first eight days brought rain, wind, thunder & lightening, hail and sits of sun. then three glorious days of sun and golf at Bandon Dunes.

Jan. 2007. once again how grateful we are to be able to come to this beautifully, unique spot. What a surprise this year to have a dusting of snow and morning temps in the 20's! I think we must have brought it with us from Colorado; we'll do our best to leave it behind next year. The days have been sunny; the tides extremely high and low. Beautiful beach walking; delicious frequent dining at the “Wheelhouse”. What a special treat to see “her face” every morning! Thanks, will & Doreen, and we hope to be back in 08.

Dec. 2006. a cozy cottage by the sea! A bit of heaven on earth! Bandon is our favorites spot to be and now we have found our favorite place to stay. We felt so comfortable during our stay and found everything supplied for us.

Nov 2006. we had a lovely week here in spite of the wind and rain. We took many walks on the beach. Crabbing was fun and of course the views very nice. Always changing. Now on our way back to the snowy mountains of Idaho. Thanks, J&T Salmar, ID.

Nov. 2006. we would like to thank you and congratulate you for your wonderful beach house.

Sept 2006. thank you so much Will & Doreen for sharing your home. The views are unbeatable! Great beaches to walk in every direction and many great restaurants. The clam chowder at the Boatworks was some of the best I've ever eater!

Bandon is one our favorite places and we look forward to our next return P&R, Weyauwega, Wisc.

Sept. 2006. two weeks of clear skies, a full moon, balmy weather {yes, temperatures in 70's & 80's}, almost no fog, one evening of mist --- and we were on the Oregon Coast! The Wrights not only have a lovely home, but clearly an “in” when it comes to providing terrific weather! 2 weeks of gorgeous sunsets put the digital cameras into overdrive – visual mind candy for the snowy winter to come at home. Our Oregon relatives were impressed too.

Many thanks for providing a wonderful spot for vacation & family gatherings.

The P's from Silver Springs, Maryland, Roseburg, Newport & Portland. August 2006 we really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. Spectacular views! It was a pleasure to be able to have all of our family in one home. Thank you so very much. a) Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. I've been to Bandon since I was one and now I got to bring my two girls (22 months and 6 months). It was so neat to watch my older daughter run and play on the beach. We loved the view and had a great time with family. b) Thank you so much for the use of your lovely beach house. What a perfect view of Face Rock! As usual, Bandon was fantastic and the time went far too quickly. c) Thank you so much. your house was lovely& very welcoming. Has it really been a week already?

It has been a wonderful, restful week for my family. I haven't slept so much in years – and I needed it. We have renewed our ties as family and found a place – a special place for it. Of all the communities that we have stayed along the Oregon Coast, Bandon tops the list of our favorite place to be. Thanks.

July 2006

R & S came for a week. They brought their dad. He's suck a geek. Mom just sat & read the papers... we think its cause she had “vapors. Grandma came along this time, mostly to keep dad in line. Seagulls begged every night, bag o popcorn, what a fight!

Made a castle, it was gramd

used a shovel & lots of sand,

sun came out and burned our skin,

fog rolled back and chased us in.

at low tide we looked for treasures.

A another vacation full of pleasures.

July 2006

We had the most wonderful week in your beach home; & look forward to coming back again! As you know, I arrived first and my husband & son came Sunday night from 102f at a baseball tournament to a delightful 62F here. We enjoyed shopping, the beach, wild animal park, Shore Acres, fishing, making “smores” and gazing at Face Rock. We had planned to cook more, but each day seemed to find such wonderful treats at the fish markets in Old town! Thank you so much for such a delightful getaway -

D, L, & L

June 2006

Thank you for sharing your home at Face Rock with us! We celebrated my xxth birthday here and fell in love with the shore, the starfish, the beach caves and the seals who kept us company all week. We look forward to our next chance to visit with you again – maybe with the kids – (they would love it here too!!) K&G, Oklahoma City, OK.

June 2006

As always, we thoroughly enjoyed staying in your Bandon House. A two-week sojourn is actually better than remaining one week. We relaxed the first week and they played host to our brother Dave and his family from Sacramento. It is tough going home, especially considering the arrival of summer heat in the I-5 corridor area. A few changes in Bandon, such as the closing of the cheese factory and the optical store, but two more golf courses are being built. A bit of Scotland on the Southern Oregon Coast. Your have done a great job with the house and we shall return Our Best! B&S D's YYreka, CA

May 2006

It has been a grand week --- napping whenever possible, eating the foods unique for the coast, and watching the surf. Our favorite time of each day was sitting in bed drinking our morning coffee & watching the surf.

We will take away our memories of the Oregon Coast and count the days until we return!

P&D Phoenix, AZ

Our first time here with our Mon, and her first time back since Dad passed away. We had a wonderful time this weekend, reading, napping, and laughing. We brought our own Scrabble” but forgot our tiles – so were delighted to find a complete Scrabble here!

S C M &Mom, Glide, OR. April 2006

Thank you so much for this memory we have of this past week. It has been a mixture of coastal weather. We purchased a house in North Bend until we build in Glasgow Heights. We are very excited to get out of the city and be part of this glorious country and coast. Thanks again for your hospitality and friendship. D&S.

April 2006

Jan and I had a great stay. The weatherman was wrong of course and we had 3 beautiful sunny days. We water colored, wrote, read and watched movies. We also ate out some. For funnest place for a martini was the Boatworks (Russ is a great guy) and Rosa's had the most excellent food – highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks for the lovely accommodations. D&J Ashland, OR.

March 06

Will & Doreen we want to thank you for letting us come here & spend our 10th year anniversary & our youngest daughter's 1st birthday. As soon as we walked in the door we felt the love that you put into this place. We felt right at home. We've had a great time, very relaxing. One of our favorite past times (especially the kids) is feeding the seagulls. They have ate very good this week. We love waking up & going to sleep at hight to the sound of the waves. Also with the roaring fire. It has rained pretty much every day this week. So thank you so much for everything. We definitely plan on coming back. This has been our favorite trip so far. Staying here has made all the difference. Thank you. K,A,B,K,B & M

March 06

Coming here after a beautiful “African/Darwish wedding has been a joy. Getting hitched at 57 meant needing a place to relax from all the stress of friends & family who had come from as far as New York City and Los Angeles. We had great walks on the beach and loved the sound of the 20-3- mph winds the last 2 nights. Your seagulls are great fun. We hope to come back again on a summer day and relax again. R&H Eugene, OR.

Christmas Day 2005

We arrived in the dark and windy rain. After many pee stops and shopping trips along the way from Ashland Oregon. Turning left and realizing our home for the weekend was right in front of up. Opening the door to a quaint, roomy, second home beach house, Happily finding a bedroom and bathroom for each couple. Motzart accompanied the turkey over dinner and Jewish instrumental assisted the lively mood of scrabble.

Being able to snuggle in bed and watch the clouds, just peacefully watch the clouds begin a precious, priceless day.

On our first day here we had a seagull visit us. He/perched himself on the deck outside our sliding glass door overlooking the ocean. Through fierce winds and tottering knees he stood, later joined by a friend.

Last night we had crab, caught that day from the pacific ocean. We've taken walks along the beach and had the joyful run up-shore as the waves threaten to lap at our shoes and socks.

Today is the last day, time to pack up, scour the house for forgotten items, and declare a sorrowful goodbye to all.

Oct 05

Our bags are packed - - time to return to our home in Ashland. On our last night, seated at the dinner table we shared our thoughts and memories we had gathered here in “beautiful Bandon”. I have been coming here off and on for forty years & fell totally in love with it - - have gone up and down the coast, but this will always be “my second home:. The days have been spectacular - - the days so ideal for taking Jan 06long walks on the beach, or sitting in the yard or on the sunny deck. A young seagull adopted us - - he was always peeping so we nicknamed him “Peeps”. One day I was outside reading a new book when Peeps arrived. He seemed to be interested in what I was doing so I decided to read aloud. He came to sit by my feet and finally drifted off to sleep. I felt a real connection to this little one. Another surprise was a baby bunny who came from the hedge to nibble the grass while enjoying the sun. As I read through the most recent “guest book” I realized one thing we all have in common. Once we have been “here” in this very “precious place” - we always want to return. Will and Doreen your love and joy have filled this place to over flowing. We appreciate all your thoughtful touches.- - everything we could possibly desire or need was right at our fingertips. Doreen, we so enjoyed your visit - hope next time we can spend time with the two of you. Will – good luck with your vineyard - - hope to sip your wine sometime. The cranberry wine was such an unexpected treat. Time to go – but we'll return in the near future.

Oct 05 Its hard to leave this gorgeous view – what a wonderful week this was. We hope to return next year.

Oct 05

We so appreciate the extra effort you have made out stay here the best yet. (we slept great!)

Your home is a Jan 06very special for Jim and I as over the course of 5 years we've come to love it as if our own. We've been blessed to have made memories with each other, our families and our friends.

This parting feels the saddest of all as hopefully we will be here as Bandon residents (next year).

Oct 05

Our first trip to the ocean and Bandon and we end up at the perfect beach house. The views are beautiful and the clean, fresh air is revitalizing. We have never slept better and waking to the sound of the ocean and the chorus of seagulls expecting breakfast is especially fun. We look forward to our next visit to Bandon and our stay in this most charming beach house. D & B, Colorado Springs, CO

We know how why our parents return to Bandon every year. What a absolute beauty this place is. You make it feel like “home”. The view, warmth, and friendly people – It's the Best! Mom and Dad returned home on Tuesday. Dad is still not 100% I must admit, somewhat weird without them with us – Lord willing we will return all together next year! Thank you so much. Looking forward to meeting you next time. J&J D, Utah.

October 04 Jan 06

Another great week in the Beach House at Face Rock. The amenities are excellent and we look forward to returning next year. The week doesn't hold enough days when your busy looking for mushrooms, crabbing and golfing.

Glad the furnace was working for us. Like bad pennies we keep "coming back" --

Don't need to tell you how we love it here - the view can't be beat.

July 04

This has truly been a vacation!

How can you not love getting up to this spectacular view every morning!

Great house, terrific view, wonderful time.

July 04

I have really enjoyed my first trip to the Oregon Coast. It has been a relaxing and fun trip - I hate to leave!

July 04

This place is really wonderful. It's everything my son Jim said it was and more. We really love it here. It's so peaceful & quiet with the sound of the waves and the beautiful sunsets! What a great trip to the Oregon Coast

Thanks again for the best view in Oregon! See you soon!

July 30, 04

We camped at Bullards Beach for more than 20 years. Whenever we took a ride and drove past this house, we thought it looked so cute and cozy. Well, it is all that and more, plus an absolutely wonderful view.

Thanks for sharing your peaceful home with us!

June 04 The house is just as nice as I remembered, your hospitality is/was appreciated. I enjoyed the weather rain and all. I chopped wood for the first time in my life - thanks!

This is a great, comfortable place to stay - I hope we can return next year!

Riding on the beach was fabulous too, I really enjoy Bandon and being so close to town makes this the perfect spot!

June 04

This was my 16-month-old nephew's first ocean experience. It has been so wonderful for us to see the excitement and amazement on his face as he put his toes in the water and gently touched an anemone. The sound of the ocean, the creatures in the tide pools and our "home away from home" have added to the enjoyment that we have experienced during our Bandon vacation.

Thanks so much for this lovely retreat. It way/is a fantastic place to vacation with our children, son-in-law and only grand child.

Best wishes.

May 04

Once again our life has been enriched by your gracious sharing of this delightful home - and rabbits, and birds, and the best view in the world! It has been our most precious time ever.

May 04

The end of another great week (our 9th time). We have traveled a lot but the beach house here is very special. We always enjoy our time here. Thanks so much.

May 04

We loved the house sooo much thank you and we enjoyed the view of the ocean and the pink sunsets. Thanks!!!

We went horse back riding, tried to go fishing and we all loved it!

April 04

We absolutely love the house! It is so comfortable & cozy with such a wonderful view. Lots of walks on the beach, lots & lots of pictures and some much needed relaxation. Everyday we would be met by the same 3 seagulls that would chase all the others away from "their" yard. Thank you for letting us celebrate our 16th anniversary in such a beautiful place. We will never forget it.

Until next time

March 04

Guest #1 - Beautiful house and great view! Nice not seeing sun for seven days!

My favorite kind of diamond.

Guest #3 - Enjoyed the vacation. Missed the sun! The house well stocked.

February 04

A wonderful weekend! The view is spectacular!

Thanks for having us on such short notice..

We hope to come again.

P.S. Thanks for the Cranberry Sweets!

January 04

This cottage is so wonderful - cozy, warm, comfortable and accommodating. Everything is close at hand for our comfort. What a joy it has been to watch the waves as they smash against the rock.

The guest book was very helpful for restaurants & churches. I particularly appreciated being able to have my elderly mother call me daily while I was gone and the use of the VCR. Even when we were buffeted with 60 mi./hr. winds and horrendous rain we were comfortable in front of the fire.

Thank you for a lovely vacation home.

January 04

We've had 3 beautifully sunny, warm days with a spectacular ocean! We've loved watching the waves here, at Shore Acres and Bullard's. Got to really watch them yesterday during our lock-out! Thanks for your rescue!

Halibut at the Wheelhouse was yummy as was the chowder and our not-to-be missed ice cream cones at the Cheese Factory. Creatures of discriminating habits!

We love the new sofa and chairs and range and appreciate all that you do for our brown bunny with white tail. He lives in the ground cover on the North side of the slider.

December 03

Thank you for the cranberry jelly candy and a wonderful week here at Face Rock. We love the view, the house and the friendliest people in the world. Had to use more heat and wood than we thought, but it was beautiful one day & we love the rain too.

November 03

November in Bandon was beautiful! Great sunsets, lots of wild life (bunnies, seals, etc).

We were the recipients of Mother Nature's beauties.

The new cook stove and microwave were very nice although we will miss the ambiance the old stove added to the cottage.

Thank you once again for your hospitality and use of this very cozy cottage with the beautiful view!

November 03

I've seen double rainbows over the LADY, hail and rain and gorgeous sun Doreen and I confirmed my first visit here was in October 1989. … The beach house is in stone center of my being, my heart, home… (look for the little brown bunny with white tail. He lives in the ground cover on the North side of the slider.

October 03

We had a wonderful stay here. Restful, relaxing, so much beauty. This is such a great place to stay. Thank you so much for making it available to us!

October 03

Another perfect week of lots of sleep, great fresh fish and rest! Looking forward to the 4th of July! This feels so much like "home" it is sad to leave.

September 03

Wonderful vacation! This is our third trip to Bandon, and we only regret that we didn't stay in your home earlier. We just loved it here. You have made it such a comfortable retreat, and we particularly appreciate the historic touches about the original homeowners and Bandon in general.

Thanks, too, for your kind and thoughtful welcome.

This was the first time we stayed in Bandon for a full two weeks. We had an absolutely perfect time and look forward to our next visit. We will certainly try to stay in this home again. Thanks for making it such a special place to stay.

Aug 03

The pictures on your website do not do justice to the beauty and coziness of your house at Face Rock has to offer. Our first Northwest trip will hold memories for years to come.

The scenic beauty from the golf courses to the redwoods is awe-inspiring. A week is just not long enough to enjoy all the things Bandon has to offer.

We were fortunate to have great weather - only two days of fog, and some great sunsets.

We hope to return in the future and your house will surely be called home when we do return.

Thank you very much for a great place to stay. July 03

Wow. What an interesting 4th celebration in Bandon. The best spot for viewing ii is the bar above Harp's. We keep it safe and sane. Thanks so much.

July 03

Thank you so much for the use of your lovely little house at Face Rock. It's hard to believe the scenery here could be any better than our own in Colorado, but the rocks and waves and sunsets have their own special beauty. The vie reminded us of every day, why we were here. Thanks again.

July 03

It's been a very special week - the weather has gone from foggy and misty to warm and sunny - every day perfect. We especially enjoyed the warm evenings and dining al'fresco.

This has been our first visit to Oregon, but it won't be our last. We've loved the house, the beach, the weather - everything. Thank you for creating a welcoming environment where our children would remark "let's go home" - meaning this house at Face Rock.

We'll be back - we can imagine a cold Christmas with walks on the beach and snuggle time by the fire. Thanks

June 03

You and your cottage have given our family a week to remember! Thank you for sharing it with us.

When we arrived Monday we spent the evening walking along the beach. It was our senior son's and sophomore daughters' first time to see the ocean. They were excited to experience the ocean here at Bandon.

Tuesday we drove to the sea lion caves north of Florence, and on to Newport to see the Oregon Coast museum. It was so much fun.

Wednesday we went out on a charter fishing boat here in Bandon (the Barbara K). All four of us caught our limit of Rock Fish. We are taking a cooler of fish home with us. We once again spent the evening walking the beach. Great day! Thursday was a must for everyone! We drove north of Bandon to the state parks by Charleston. Shore Acres and the botanical garden was a treat and Sunset Bay was so interesting. We ate our dinner at Charleston at the Fisherman's Grotto. Husband mike had the best salmon there. Friday was a fun day going through all the shops at Old Town Bandon. We got gifts for everyone. Tomorrow, we leave to go home to Nebraska. We take with us great memories of a time spent here at Beach House at Face Rock!

June 03

Beach House at Face Rock was all we expected it to be and more. During our last two weeks of teaching, we were giddy with anticipation for what was to come: - glorious views, restful mornings with coffee in hand, and mindless searching of agates on the beach

We enjoyed eating lobster at The Harp for our 32nd anniversary, visiting Florence, and roaming Shore Acres Botanical Garden.

Thanks again for a restful week. Look forward to visiting again next year.

May 03

After many years of visiting here, this was the vest visit ever.

It never changes in all the important aspects - kind hosts, yard and home so inviting, the best view on the coast, the restless sea and lovely, lovely groups of winged "droppers in" from sunrise to sunset. It is always a dream answered and begging a repeat! Our love and blessings on you -

The house was perfect for me and my newlywed husband. We enjoyed the breathtaking view immensely. Bandon has made a perfect honeymoon. We loved it!

As always we had a wonderful week. Weather was fantastic. We are always thankful to be able to come for a week to get away.

February 03

I came here needing peace and found it! My husband came here looking for crab and found them! We came with good friends, which made it all perfect!

How can we thank you for sharing this perfect place with us. There are no words to thank you enough!!!

With luck we will be back to enjoy it again.

February 03 Thank you for sharing this wonderful place on God's earth with us and all who come into your life. You are an example to us all of "God's Stewards". May both continue to be blessed by him.

You were so nice and pleasurable to talk to and this house is just a wonderful place to be. Thank you for the love that shows from you into all you have given to us and others, to, by furnishing and comforts here - and the view and the history are fantastic.

We are always "Making Memories" in our family - but this trip we're here with our special friends and the "memories" we'll take home are the best of all. Thank you again & again for your generosity. God's Blessings to you & our sincere thanks.

March 03 (a child's comments)

We are having fun. It is very homey. I love it here. It is cool!! Hope to see you again!!

January 03

What a gorgeous spot! We never tire of wave watching and walking on the beach, even if it is raining. Coming from Colorado, any form of moisture in marvelous. Yesterday during our walk we found a perfect sand dollar.

Thanks for the hospitality of this clean, well-equipped home. We hope to return in '04.

December 02

You gave us everything you promised. We've enjoyed the visit very much. You certainly have a view that can't be beaten.

December 02

The view is fantastic! This has been a great Christmas retreat. This is our third holiday in Bandon and we look forward to coming again soon.

December 02

Even though it rained all the time, we were here except the day we are leaving, my daughter & I had a joyous time, shopping, watching the ocean and feeding the birds. Thank you very much for all your kindness both big and small.

We had another wonderful week relaxing here. Perfect fall weather. Met many friendly folks. Thank you. See you next spring!

October 02

What a wonderful house - prefect for our great family get-a-way. We enjoyed two days of beautiful, sunny weather & two days of cozy, foggy days. The views are just spectacular! Thank you for providing such a great accommodation - we hope to be back next year!-

September 02

Lovely, Lovely, Lovely!

Three very tired ladies entered this house a week ago. Three very relaxed and rejuvenated ladies left today!

Thank you for sharing the cottage and the view.

August 02

Another nice stay in the wonderful place. The view changes frequently. This is such a great place to relax. Thank you for making it available.

Aug 02 What a welcome change from 110o in Phoenix. The view is magnificent. Everything is so well planned and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. Will see you again soon.

Aug 02

As usual our stay here has been wonderful as always. The rest, rejuvenation of body and soul and the many memories are worth so much to both of us.

This year especially was very much needed and almost missed…. This week has played a large part in helping both of us to heal and strengthen our bodies and our mind. Especially Lee who feels he's been given a new lease on life. We both realize what a precious and joyous gift we have been given from our Father in Heaven and we hope we never take it for granted again. Thanks again and God willing, we'll see you next year.

July 02

The small town of Bandon is so welcoming and this cozy home overlooking Face Rock is wonderful. This house had everything needed to make this a perfect vacation for our family. I cannot think of anything that I would have changed. We have made a lot of special memories and will always speak fondly of our trip to the Oregon coast. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. Best Wishes!

July 02

We have been coming to your charming cottage since 1987 and always completely enjoy our time spend in this little home by the sea!!

July 02

What a lovely cottage! The view is so nice and the beach is such a great place.

The history on the wall, puzzles, well equipped kitchen, meals on the deck all make for a relaxing time. Thanks a lot.

July 02

Thank you so much for making available this lovely home. It has an atmosphere that invites relaxation. The view & sound of the ocean waves are wonderful. Our children, ages 9 & 11, combed the beaches daily to gather treasures, and enjoyed the puzzles too. We enjoy the Oregon Coast and have really liked staying put in one spot for 4 days. Now back in the car!

June 02

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. We absolutely loved the house and the view. We had such a great time! This was our 1st time but we plan to come back at least once a year.

June 02

Our stay was wonderful. Beautiful view and very comfortable house. Very relaxing and lots of things to do.

June 02

My husband and I enjoyed a moment in paradise! Having lived in Lincoln City in my past, I always tell Jeff how beautiful the Oregon coast is. He finally got to see for himself! Now its back to Las Vegas!

June 02

Thank you for the house. The views are spectacular! The house is quite cozy and a little too cozy. I didn't get in enough time at the beach because I was too relaxed here (hahaha). Since relaxation was a major goal, however, I am quite pleased. Your information book is fantastic!! I hope to come back and enjoy your place again. Thank you again soooo much it is a great little house.

June 02

Thank you, Doreen and Will!! What a great place. We had a wonderful time with family & friends. This magical place has captured our hearts and your cozy, thoughtfully decorated house has added to our joy. We will be back.!! Cheers to you.

May 02

As we savor our 17th stay in this unique little cottage at Face Rock, we again appreciate its charm, roominess and setting.

Each year we carry our souls to Bandon for renewal and nourishment, pure pleasure, and another thrilling experience with the mighty ocean. Your friendship and provided comfort are treasures more that you know May 02

8 nights and 7 sunsets. How blessed were we? All sunsets were viewed from your deck of this cute cottage. We had a wonderful time experiencing rain, sun, clouds & being sandblasted during a windstorm. We explored the southern coast from Brookings to Reedsport. Saw all four lighthouses. Spent plenty of time exploring the shore outside the door. In Bandon we saw 15 breeds of birds and 2 breeds of seals. All fairly up close. What a treat! We even think we saw a puffin! The tide pools were an extra treat. We enjoyed petting the bear cubs @ the Safari: not as cheesy as we thought it would be. Best fish & clips in State @ Bandon Fish Market. We did so much thanks to your central location of the coast & near the wayside to boot! Yes we did relax to. Stayed our last two days @ the cottage flying kites, making sandcastles, reading etc. No TV here! Thank you so very much & hope to see you again.

March/02

Thanks for a cozy weather filled week!! We will certainly include Bandon in our future vacation spots.

More storms would be good!

March 02

What a wonderful, beautiful, quiet, relaxing week we've enjoyed. Thank you for sharing this incredible place with our families - we love it here. Thank you also for Go Fish, Crazy Eights and Old Maid - The kids loved them and couldn't stop playing them.

We hope to return here again and again.

March 02

We had a wonderful, extraordinary and so peaceful stay here in your great home. The kids have seen so much - actually all our heads are packed full of memories, sights and information of this great part of the world. The tide pools are beyond words - as are the whales, the view and the deep binding peace of this slice of heaven.

March 02

Ah, breath in - breath out, sitting in this lovely wingback I feel so content - a real gift you offer in your attentive nature to comfort. This is the first time I've felt what it is like to receive the same attention to detail that I offer my own guests, how lovely.

Feb/02

We chose this house to stay for our visit to Bandon because we instantly felt the welcoming kindness you offered when giving info about the area to us.

We hope - in the near future to make the Oregon Coast our home & your beautiful little house - with its gorgeous view of "Face Rock" provided us with a little Heaven- on-earth while we explored the area.

Thank you for your great hospitality. We hope to return for another stay soon!
