About Kathy & Wayne Jacobsen Cell 503-679-9236

We are retired (both worked in education - Neakahnie, Sweet Home and Riverdale School Districts). We've been married for 27 years and lived in Lake Oswego for 17 years before moving to Washington. We currently live in LaCenter Washington. Wayne grew up in Pilot Rock (near Pendleton) Oregon and I grew up in NE Portland (David Douglas HS). In blending our families, we are blessed with seven kids (ages from 37 to 53), grandkids (ages 5 to 32)- and three great grandkids (2, 3 and 6). We have kids and grandkids in the Northern Oregon coast- Nehalem/ Manzanita area and Cannon Beach- and kids and grandkids in Lake Oswego OR, Hood River OR, Vancouver WA & Truckee CA.. When the opportunity to purchase Cottage by the Sea came up, it was perfect timing and the perfect location. Life changes (maturing issues) will keep us from traveling as much as we have in the past. And one day when we are not able to manage where we currently live, we may even move to the Cottage full time. We've both lived at the coast year-round and have always loved it-- yes- even the rain! Seaside offers wonderful amenities for all ages (including medical--important for that maturing thing). It's close, but not too close, to some of our kids. And what a great place to have family and friends come visit us. :) We are active, social people and love the outdoors, fresh air and projects. Between our two homes, we have lots of opportunity for all of those things. Right now, we'll be at the coast in between sharing it with people like you. We are thankful and appreciative for the opportunity to do just that.

Why Kathy & Wayne Jacobsen Cell 503-679-9236 chose Seaside

Having lived on the north Oregon coast in the past, we were very familiar and comfortable with the Seaside area. Cottage by the Sea was a successful VRBO when we purchased it in October 2014. The main cottage was built in the 1920's and used to connect to the yellow house on the corner with another cottage in between. About 10 years ago, the Cottage underwent a major remodel with the addition of a garage, laundry room, 3rd bedroom, 2nd full bathroom, and dining room. There were some upgrades that we wanted to do (and did!) to make it 100% comfortable for us and therefore also for you! Our projects included converting the garage into a wonderful 14x22 fully carpeted, insulated family room; carpeting the living room in the main cottage; adding a new storm door to allow more natural light in living room as well as air circulation when desired; new door and storm door in dining room; upgraded shower heads; support rails in bathrooms (maturing thing again!); quiet toilet seats (weird- perhaps, but important to us); new concrete walkway to front door and around hot tub; completely fenced in yard and other smaller amenities. We make sure to keep it updated, stocked and ready for us AND YOU to enjoy. We hope you love it as much as we do!
