Email me if you have any questions prior to booking and I will get back to you, usually within the hour.

My dad was looking for a house to make his home for when he grows up :) and after years of searching, we finally found the perfect place. Naming it Mingus Park Place was his idea. It’s a very nice house and he’s a funny guy, so I think the name fits.

Why this house? His main concerns were that home have at least one bedroom, a full bathroom & the laundry room on the main floor. This house has all that and more & had been updated beautifully.

He was looking for a neighborhood that was “walkable” to stay active. This place is perfect in that regard. There are no hills to climb to get downtown and it’s directly across the street from Mingus Park.

A small lake with a wide, paved walking path sits at the center of the park. There are many benches facing the water along the way, and to complete the walk around the water, it’s about a half mile. There’s a beautiful Japanese garden with another pond nestled in the woods at the north end of the park.

Everything downtown is just a few blocks away and there are many great restaurants and shops to explore on this section of Highway 101 (known as S. Broadway in Coos Bay.)

If you love Mexican food like we do, it’s about a five minute walk to Margarita’s Mexican Grill. That’s our closest restaurant. McKay’s grocery is across the street from Margarita’s, and a Dutch Bro’s coffee shop, Dairy Queen and convenience store are all located on that same corner. Very convenient.

So, dad found his dream home, but until he is ready to make the move up here, we are sharing it with fellow travelers who need a place to feel at home while exploring our southern Oregon coast.

If it’s chilly when you get here, or in the evening after a long day of adventures, just flip on the gas fireplace with the remote control and snuggle up with one of our many cozy throw blankets. You’ll feel right at home.

The house was built in 1952 by Herman Ewald Finell, a local craftsman known for his fine woodwork and was elegantly updated in 2015.

Highlights & Features:

When you book with us, you can be certain the house will be clean. I don’t hire someone to clean for me. I clean and sanitize everything myself. I do a regular clean & then I go over it again & sanitize all the surfaces.

All bedding is laundered for each guest and all the bed pillows have hypoallergenic covers as a double layer of protection.

From our home it’s a flat, easy walk to the park and everything downtown Coos Bay has to offer!

There’s a covered back patio area downstairs within the large fenced backyard where you can BBQ & play and private rooftop deck with a good view of the Coos Bay boardwalk firework show on the 4th of July.

The large soaking tub on the main floor, and on demand hot water throughout, means you’ll never get stuck with cold water. Soak to your heart’s content, and never have a cold shower!

There’s a great view from the king bedroom. You’ll see Mingus Park and then to the east, the baseball field and skate park. Beyond the park is a small mountain covered in beautiful evergreen trees. It's a lovely view, and there are no houses directly across the street from us, so you’ll see just trees and the park looking north.

The gas fireplace in the living room is very efficient and warms up the house really quickly. Come back after a long day and enjoy the fireplace on a chilly evening. Quickly turn it on with the remote which we keep on the wall to the right of the TV.

In the kitchen, a beautiful gas cook top with two ovens, plenty of granite countertop space for food prep and a large dining table.

The wide, gradual staircase is well lit in the daytime by many windows, and at night you can use the wall switches at the top and bottom of the stairs to light your way.

We provide all the basics you may need to wash, dry, iron and fold, in our spacious laundry room with full size washer and dryer. You’ll find plenty of counter space in the laundry room, as well as a large utility sink for whatever your need.
