General overview
We live in beautiful Bandon-by-the-Sea, in what I think it the most beautiful and charming town on the Oregon Coast. Our home is a comfortable older home at the end of a quiet dead end street, with giant Monterey Cypress Trees around us. We are only a few blocks to the ocean and charming Old Town. We have a very nice private backyard, perfect for sitting in and enjoying the peace and fresh air here. We are about 5 miles from Bandon Dunes Golf Resort with 5 18 hole courses and beautiful hiking trails, and several exceptional restaurants. We have wonderful places to ride bikes and many good hiking trails within a half hour drive, as well as the most beautiful beach in the world just down the street. We are 3 hours from Crater Lake National Park and close to many beautiful rivers and beaches. We are a great place for nature lovers and beach lovers, who enjoy a slower pace.
The space
We have a 4 bedroom home, however only two of the bedrooms are guestrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs. The bedroom upstairs has a built in twin bed into the wall and could used for a 3rd person in that room. There is a full bathroom with shower and tub upstairs, and a half bath with just a toilet and sink downstairs. (more pictures to come soon) We have a beautiful large fairly wind protected backyard, great for hanging out or playing games.
Guest access
The only bathtub and shower are on the 2nd floor. There are 2 steps up to the front door. Two of the bedrooms will not be accessible to guests, but it is possible that we could make arrangements to open up a 3rd bedroom upon request.
Notes
We are a pet free and smoke free home. We take our shoes off upon entering. We keep our home neat and tidy. We have space heaters and baseboard heaters and we have a pellet stove as well. My adult son lives nearby so he is available to help with any issues that may come up with the house while we are away.
We may consider swapping cars in a reciprocal exchange.

Neighbourhood
We are located at the end of a very quiet dead-end street, surrounded by majestic Monterey Cypress trees. It is just a few blocks walk to our Old Town on the Coquille River, and another few blocks to get to the Pacific ocean itself. Our favorite restaurant Edgewaters, is just down the hill from us, a 5 minute walk at most. We have a wonderful City Park about a half mile away with a great playground, a disc Frisbee course, a library, and a nice performing arts theater with frequent music and drama productions. We think that we live in the best part of town and on the best street. Our neighbors are all very friendly.
Getting to my home
We are about half way between San Francisco and Seattle, so we make a good half way destination. (about 8 hours to either place)
Nearest airport
We have a small airport in North Bend which has flights between OTH and SFO on United. In the summer time there are also flights added to Denver Colorado.
Eugene Airport is about 2.5 hours away and Medford about 2.25 hours, for domestic flights or connections to PDX. Portland/PDX is about 4.5 hours away for international flights.

People Like Us Local Guide
If I am available, I always love to meet new people from other parts of the world and learn from each other. If my husband isn't working, he may like to join us too.
Camy and Tom are such lovely people that we sincerely hope their plans to visit us in England next year come to fruition.
We got to Christen their new annex and it was a perfectly self-contained and sizeable unit - think spacious one-bed condo.
The location is right near downtown Bandon, in a quiet street with friendly neighbours that is a short distance from the all-important beaches and stacks, but also the old town proper.
Camy and Tom are easy to talk to, conscientious hosts that took the time to show us the key features of Bandon. It is people like them that make PLU what it is: the friendliest home exchange website.
It was a pleasure staying in Camy and Tom’s home in Bandon last week. The accommodations were comfortable and quiet, in a lovely setting. We especially enjoyed being close to the town of Bandon with its beauty and charm. So much to discover with the amazing coastline! Camy and Tom gave us great recommendations of what to see and do. They were very communicative and welcoming. We highly recommend an exchange with Camy and Tom in Bandon!
Camy and her husband were wonderful guests. Communication was easy and we felt comfortable having them in our home! We recommend!
It was very spécial To met Camy and Tom ! They havé bene xonderful guests and left thé House impeccable ! Wesh We were not living so far away in ordre To see each ôter pf t’en… it was like meeting friends!
Our exchange with Camy and Tom is non-simultaneous. We welcome them here in Bend at a time that works well in the future.
We were contacted by Peter and Teodora for a 1 night hospitality stay for their extended trip on the west coast of the USA. We decided to say YES and I am so glad that we did. They were a charming couple and we were able to have them for a dinner and show them around our beaches afterwards for the sunset. We offered them our newly completed studio cottage to be our first guests, before we start renting to traveling medical professionals. Peter had created some original artwork based on photographs that he had seen of the Oregon Coast, and he let us choose one of them, and even put it in a nice frame for us. We are so glad that we said YES to this hospitality stay and will likely do it again in the future if it works for our schedule. We might even try it ourselves and hope to visit them in England some day :-) They left our cottage in perfect condition and were perfect guests!
We really enjoyed our stay in Jeanne and Kevin's home. It is located in a nice older neighborhood in Napa with many older well maintained homes., about a half mile walk from the center of town. The home was beautiful and clean and very well equipped in the kitchen. We enjoyed being able to sit outside in the private backyard and enjoy the evening. There were gas heaters outside, but it was not cool enough to use them. The covered front porch was nice and we appreciated being able to keep our bikes in the garage. We rode our bikes along the bike path to Yountsville one day, and took a hike another day along the Skyline Trail, which we recommend. Everything was absolutely perfect in the home and Jeanne was excellent about responding to questions and so friendly. I would recommend an exchange with them any time :-)
We had the most wonderful stay at Richard and Julia's place in Chianti. Their charming restored farmhouse is lovingly decorated and very comfortable and well equipped for a longer stay. We really enjoyed the area for how easy it was to get to many places which we wanted to explore (Sienna, San G. and the lovely towns and villages in the Chianti region, Radda, Greve, Gaiole, and the small hamlet of Monti nearby.) There are electric bikes which you can rent next door at B & B, and it is a wonderful area to ride bikes around. Lots of rolling hills with beautiful vistas, dotted with vineyards and olive and cypress trees. It was very green there, even in September. We loved the shaded yard overlooking the vineyards and the views were so peaceful and serene. It is a very quiet place to rest and restore and have a comfy home base.
If you are fortunate, like we were, Richard and Julia may be there as well in their home upstairs, and that only added to our experience, as they are such lovely people, kind and generous. Thank you so much Julia and Richard for hosting us and sharing your lovely place with us. You are the best!
Ted and Susan were our first official exchange, however due to unforeseen circumstances ,we were unable to stay at their home at this time. We look forward to being able to visit sometime in the future if it works out, as we love the Bend area and their home looks perfect for us.
ed and Susan were our wonderful first guests, and although I did not get to meet them. my husband did we also were able to "meet" through a zoom meeting once we decided to make the exchange. They were excellent about communicating with us and left our home in perfect condition. We were unable to stay at their home due to some unfortunate weather events, but hope to be able to visit them and their home in the future.

Camy
HI we are Camy and Tom and we love living on the Oregon Coast. We love to hike, bike, spend time with our grown children and grandchildren, and explore the world. We previously used to rent out a room in our home with Airbnb and we loved hosting people from all over the world. We love to travel to Europe, and across the Western USA in our little trailer. We live in such a beautiful area half way between San Francisco and Seattle, in the cutest little town on the Oregon Coast with the most scenic beaches.
"Anytime in the winter or early spring...Kauai is our preference, but we love the other islands as well."
Dates flexible
"We have a son who lives on the border of Oakland and Berkeley, whom we like to visit with every few months if possible. Usually 3-4 nights is long enough but we are willing to stay for longer if someone wishes to stay in our home longer than that."
Dates flexible
"Possibly in 2025? This year we are going to Italy!"

"Possibly in 2025. Our trip this year is to the Dolomites in Italy!"
