About this property

Captain's House: Historic two-story home overlooking the Pacific Ocean

The Captain's House vacation rental—with four bedrooms, three baths, and a game room—is a cozy and historic, two-story home located on the bluff on Bandon's scenic Beach Loop Drive. The house is a blend of original vintage charm and modern amenities. Combining comfortable furnishings with commanding views of the coastal rock formations from the picture window in the living room and the Coquille light house from the porch. The perfect location for a relaxing stay whether your interest is in the ever changing ocean view, whale watching, bird watching, storm watching, stargazing, or any of the other wonders found on the southern Oregon coast.

The original House was built in the 1940’s by the City of Bandon's newly hired Harbor Pilot. The residence features the original living room with picture windows looking over the bluff, an intimate second floor master bedroom, and unique second floor wood paneled bedroom. The house has been remodeled, enlarged, and updated. In addition to the original house, the property now features a large kitchen, expansive dining room, a small library, a first floor bedroom, a game room/bedroom, and a studio bedroom with additional living space.

The two standard bedrooms and the studio room are furnished with queen beds. The vintage wood paneled bedroom is furnished with a double bed and vintage furniture. The Library is stocked with a variety of books and cozy furniture, a variety of games, and a small music collection. The upstairs studio bedroom features extra living area with its own view of the rugged Oregon coast and a queen bed. The game room features a large table and a full size futon. There are outdoor seating areas for enjoying our coastal climate and a fenced back yard. The fully equipped kitchen features a downdraft stove, convection and microwave ovens. There are flat screen TV's upstairs and downstairs.

For vacationers who just want to kick back, the living room is the perfect place to watch the waves and the white water as it crashes over Table Rock.

Golfers will appreciate the courses at Bandon Dunes and Bandon Crossings. They are a few minutes drive. The house has a clean, protected place to store golf gear.

The Captain's House is a few minutes walk to a beautiful sandy beach with unique rock outcroppings and some wonderful tide pools with lots of marine life to explore. If you happen to be there at a minus tide you can walk out and touch Table Rock.

Bandon also has excellent fishing—for Chinook or Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon, Halibut or Rockfish—or you can catch your own Dungeness crab. (You’ll need to buy a license, available locally).

At The Captain's House we use green cleaning products everywhere we can.

Captain’s House Visit

We had a terrific time in Bandon. The Captain’s House was the perfect place for us. Right across a quiet road from the beach and walking distance to shops, etc. There were several living areas and lots of dining space.

Perfect Place

We loved the size and layout of the Captain's. Plenty of sleeping space and spots for those needing privacy. Nice balance of still being rustic, but with upgraded amenities. Beautiful, unobstructed view and close to a stairway to the beach and also a pathway to the jetty area. It fit our extended family perfectly.

Super cool house with amazing view

My family spent multiple days at this house. Very clean and had everything we needed. The sunset view from the front window was amazing. Location was great with easy access to everything. Great fenced in yard for the dog that was brought along. I would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful

We enjoyed our stay at the Captains House. The view by far was the best. The house itself was nice and accommodating with everything you need plus a lot of games, movies, etc. the walking path was a favorite. House was a bit dated but really cool. It’s advertised as a 3 bath and it is but just know, one has a jet tub only, one has a claw tub with a very tiny short shower head. the third bath is a full shower. We made it work but with 6 adults and only one full sized shower it was cumbersome. Overall, beautiful stay and Sam, the property manager was amazing. Overall, beautiful trip

Gorgeous views

Our family really enjoyed staying at this property. It is a rambling home with lots of nooks and crannies to explore . The access to the beach is very close to the trail. The views are incredible. We checked the low tide schedule and walked the beach every day.The home is well stocked. We will be back!

Perfect location!

The Captains house was in the perfect location for trip to Bandon. You have amazing views and a nice trail to walk and watch the ocean. The house was large enough to hold my family and have space to not be on top of each other. It is a older home with some quirks but I knew that when I rented it. The only reason for the four stars was the house keeping was lacking. Overall we had an enjoyable stay!

Easy Beach Access

Enjoyed the maze of stairs. So many interesting rooms. This place could easily sleep 8 adults and a couple kids on the futon. Easy access to the beach right across from the house and sunsets through the front window every evening. A hose with personality.

Captain’s House Review

Great location for view and walking on the beach. Only 2 of the 3 bathrooms had a shower. Only 2 bedrooms had queen beds which wasn’t as described. The cable box in the living room should set on top of the cabinet so the remote will work.The garden hose worked well for cleaning the windows and improving the view. Would be nice to have the windows and screens cleaned prior to our arrival so we wouldn’t have to deal with it. The many ups and downs of the stairs do not make for easy access for 60+ adults. We did enjoy our 2 nights. Thanks

Breathtaking Location!

Though this house is dated (and the layout is odd, and the master shower is a bit funky), I promise that you will absolutely fall in love with the house once you open the blinds! Yes, it is THAT amazing! And there are plenty of bedrooms, and each has ocean front views as well! I would definitely go back again:)

Another memorable stay at the Captain's House

Third year to gather with family for Labor Day in Bandon. The Captain's House is one of a kind ... homey, ample room for a group of three couples to have their own baths. The location is unbeatable. Steps from the beach where you can walk forever and explore the tide pools and watch the surf roll in. We're hoping the owners will invest in new stove, cooktop and microwave. While serviceable, they've seen their best days, and this historic getaway deserves it!
