The location of the Bandon Journey Home is stellar. When sitting in the living room, it truly feels like the ocean can touch the exterior walls of the home. We stayed during a week of storms in Bandon, so we got to see the Ocean’s tremendous power on full display.
In terms of likes, the joke is an absolute STEAL for the price. The home is well stocked with pretty much everything you’d need to cook a solid family meal, too. There’s plenty of room to spread out for two families as well. The view, though, is why you come here, and it doesn’t disappoint. Enjoying it from the hot tub on the deck was splendid.
The few negatives were small and pretty insignificant. The hot tub was well chlorinated (based on the smell) but somehow was discolored. It didn’t bother us, though, as we could tell the water was treated. The previous guests had clearly put away dishes that they didn’t clean well, which was their responsibility based on the cleaning policy.
All in all this was a wonderful experience. If you’re expecting perfection for $225 a night in Bandon, well, you’re an idiot. This is a fine middle class vacation home with some of the most spectacular views in Oregon.
