First and foremost, I would like to thank the owners of this spectacular piece of paradise for opening it up for us to visit! We have traveled all over the world and have never experienced anything quite like it.
I brought my wife out here for her 60th birthday and never told her where we were going. Needless to say, as we made the last turn on the driveway, the beauty of the setting almost brought tears to her eyes. We were fortunate enough to spend seven magnificent nights here.
For those reading this, I would like to share some of the wonderful things we experienced. We drove south on the coast through Brookings and saw the coastal redwoods. While not the largest trees in the world, they get the honor of being the tallest. They are truly amazing and worth a drive if you have never seen them.
The town of Bandon is only 20 minutes away. We played 2 rounds of golf at Bandon Dunes. Amazing place. We also thoroughly enjoyed crabbing in the bay. What a riot! We rented gear at Tony’s Crab Shack and actually had him cook our crab for lunch. Delicious.
More than anything, though, we enjoyed coming home to SeaWinds. Strolling the grounds of the property and visiting all the little bench areas was majestic. Spending the day walking the beach and finding sand dollars can wash away any cares. The setting of the house up on the cliff, and the views it offers is simply incredible.
Lloyd, the caretaker was just that....he took care of everything. He built us a fire in the fireplace that was ready to light every night. We listened to waves, while the firewood snapped and cracked, probably the two most relaxing sounds in the world.
As we pack up this evening to leave, one thought comes to mind: time is an infinite commodity that you can never get enough of. I feel the serenity of this place has added years to our lives, making the above statement false when you are blessed enough to be here. I hope everyone staying here has the same experience and build memories of a lifetime. We certainly did.
