Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1996
My husband and I have lived in the Bay area for 18 + years. We fell in love with this 3/4 acre property after returning from a trip to Greece in 1996. We started listing it as a vacation rental almost 5 years ago after we sold our smaller main home in North Bend and built another larger home. Prior to that, we hosted large parties there and spent our entire summers, weekends, and holidays at the beach-house. Many birthdays with sleepovers happened as well as family reunions. It is just ideal for entertaining. We loved it so much, we did not want to sell it so making it a vacation rental gives other people the opportunity to enjoy it. The name ERATO refers to the Greek goddess of love poetry. For me as the owner, this is Eva's Retreat at the Ocean.
Why the Owner Chose Coos Bay
It was ideal. The view is so spectacular. My family likes to surf, surf kayak, have bonfires on the beach, go tidal pooling, watch ships, whales,sunsets and storms and this is where they do it.
The property has 2 yards-- both ideal for children to play safely or kick a ball around, tent, picnic or just run around.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Cozy wood fireplace while watching storms or a gorgeous sunset with Cape Arago Lighthouse in the background.
Walks on the secluded Lighthouse beach. Walking distance to Sunset and Bastendorff beaches.
Numerous hiking trails, the marine estuary, Charleston shops/restaurants/fish sellers, docks, fishing charters and clamming are within a mile or two.
The covered entryway with skylights is superb for entertaining.

We just stayed here in October for the second time. It is a stone's throw from beaches, crabbing, clamming and boating. The views of the lighthouse at sunset are simply spectacular! I have rented many homes through VRBO and Eva is one of the most accommodating owners I have dealt with. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. Now that I am back home I am so missing the sound of the ocean at night. We are already planning on staying here again next summer. I feel very at home here, and I'm sure you will too.
Owner response:Thank you so much for your great comments. I love the home and so much want renters to love it, too. I travel a lot so I rarely get to meet my renters. Since you are coming back for a third time, I hope I get to meet you next year.

We had a great time at your place, and the views were wonderful! We crabbed everyday, and actually limited out daily, which is a first for us. We usually rent a home in Waldport, however we plan on returning to Coos bay again next year. The Master bedroom was amazing, and the bed..oh so comfy. The only small challenge for us was pulling the boat in and out daily, as we had to go onto the lawn a little. Thank you again for letting us share your magnificant home, we loved it!
Owner response: I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I am sure the crab tasted great. Going slightly onto the lawn to turn the boat around is not a problem for me. Thank you for your kind review.

Just spent a week there with my family from So. California. Was so clean, relaxing and a great place for kids! Where else could you stay with an 18 month old child and have everything you needed? Very impressive. The only issue we faced was that the sliding glass door to deck from the master bedroom was extremely hard to open and close. Hopefully that will get fixed when the new deck is completed! Thanks again for a wonderful week. Hopefully we can experience your hospitality again!

We recently stayed at this wonderful home a weekend ago. It was fabulous. Comfortable with plenty of room. The fireplace was great to have on a chilly night. Beds were great and the view was amazing. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear and plates with plenty of room for a few cooks at a time. This was the best home we have stayed at yet and we will for sure use it again. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Owner response:Thank you so much. I love this home and feel blessed to be able to share it with renters.

I have already written a review but found a mistake in my information. The restaurant is on Boat Basin Dr and on the left hand side, not the right.. Please edit this information if possible. Thank you.

This house was perfect for our weekend trip. The location was great. Close to several beautiful beaches, Shore Acres and Charleston Marina. For the nature lovers, there is a great walking trail from Sunset Bay up to Shore Acres. There are some really great restaurants close by. I had the best fish tacos ever at a newly opened restaurant on Kingfisher Drive. Sorry, I can't remember the name but Eva might know. It's on the right hand side going to the harbor in a building that holds several businesses. We enjoy crabbing and fishing in the area and come over as often as we can. We would love to stay here again given the opportunity.

I spent the weekend here with my Mom and just regret that we weren't staying longer than a weekend. When I walked in I was amazed that the ocean was RIGHT THERE! The house is lovely and set up so that you can have privacy if you want. Over the weekend I mentally planned several more get togethers there. A lovely place. Can't wait to go back.
Owner response:I have so many renters that write wonderful reviews in the home guest book. Those that go on-line to vrbo to leave a review go the extra mile. It takes time and time is always so precious. All my renters have been lovely. I wish I had the time to meet all of them. My phone conversations with them have always made them seem closer than just renters. I am beyond glad that they love my rental and I am so happy to share it with them as I love this coast. Thank you.

Icing on The Cake

Review Submitted: 09/26/10
After travelling extensively to California and Maui for the last couple of weeks, I ended my trip here in Cape Arago. To my amazement, it was the icing on the cake! This was the first time for me to rent a home from someone I didn't know. From the very first encounter, the owner, Eva, put my mind to rest. She was helpful and informative. Upon arriving, I found the home in PERFECT order, and I am not easy to please. :) She had everything you would need for a large group, although I rented this home just for myself! To listen to the sound of the waves, crashing at your feet, while 3 porpoises swim toward the lighthouse, is truly an unforgettable moment. One you take with you forever. Trust me when I say, you will not be disappointed here! Sincerely, Kristen in Douglas, Alaska

A few of my friends and I stayed at this beautiful home during our high school reunion. It was perfect. Very spacious with all the amenities you would need (not to mention breathtaking views and very close to Sunset Bay, in my opinion the best State park in Oregon). It is also only a short drive to Bandon Dunes. There is also cab service that is responsive and reasonable, too, if you don't want to worry about driving. My only regret is we didn't stay longer. I hope to visit this wonderful oceanfront home again.
