We love them & we apologize, but no pets or service animals due to host allergies.
CREATING A MEMORY
In the evening have a cup of herbal tea or a glass of wine and watch from one of the decks as the sun sets below the horizon of the truly majestic Pacific Ocean. And if it gets a bit cool just pull out one of the warm-n-cozy freshly washed blankets your hosts provide in a convenient outside bin.
CHECK-IN
We'll send check-in information immediately after you book your stay with us, and someone on our team will meet you on arrival to show you where to park.
BEDS
Your enchantingly delightful guesthouse studio-apartment has a comfy queen bed, a daybed/sofa & two big overstuffed chairs. Your hosts also provide extra blankets in the suite. It will sleep two adults, or two plus a child, but three adults is a tight fit.
BATHROOM & SHOWER
Your private bathroom features a tiled shower. It also has loads of extra towels plus a few travel necessities such as feminine products, toothpaste, dental floss, shaving cream & safety razors. There is even a small sewing kit - which in fact saved a bride's dress one fine day! (Please note: The sink in the kitchenette is used for hand washing and there is a mirror above that sink for shaving.)
ROBES & SLIPPERS
When you get up in the morning put on one of the freshly laundered robes with slippers provided by your hosts and relax into your day.
KITCHENETTE
In your suite you'll find a small kitchenette located off to one side of the main living area. It features a mini-refrigerator with an ice tray in the freezer section, a toaster and a microwave oven, along with a pour-over coffee making system. A hot plate is available to warm up soup, cook eggs and such - but no aromatic foods please like bacon or fish. That is because the kitchenette does not have an exhaust vent for cooking odors.
COFFE, TEAS & MORE
The cupboards are stocked with great coffee and a large selection of top quality teas, plus makings for hot cocoa and hot cereals, and individually sized cold cereals. Some fun snack treats are also provided, along with a few juices, small bottled waters and half-n-half milkette creamers (single serving half-n-half's) for your coffee or tea.
LIVING & DINING AREA
Your cozy living area is a small living room with the kitchenette off in one corner. It has a coffee table, a couch and two big, comfortable overstuffed chairs. There are a few books for children of all ages plus some thought-provoking books for adults, such as "The Four Agreements" and "The Power of Now". The coffee table-top easily articulates upward and back toward the chairs to serve as a small dining table.

OUTDOOR DINING AREAS
The unit has a glass-topped dining table just outside the entry that is the perfect size for 2 to 4 people. There are also outdoor dining areas with dramatic ocean views on both of the decks! (See pictures.)
WI-FI
There is excellent Wi-Fi but no TV, so plan to relax, read or take your coffee out to sit on one of the decks to enjoy the breathtaking views; from there you can see rocky outcroppings, large sea stacks & sandy beaches all along the coast.
BEACH ACCESS
We're located on a cliff directly above the beach with no current access down the side of the cliff to the beach below, but it is just a two minute drive to beach-level parking on North Harris Beach at Harris Beach State Park.
SOUTH HARRIS BEACH
South Harris Beach, which is one of the best ocean beaches on the Oregon coast, is even closer; it is just a ten minute walk or a one minute drive to get there. And it almost never has people on it.
LONE RANCH BEACH
Lone Ranch Beach with lots of tide pools with starfish and other sea life is a four minute drive north.
HARBOR BEACH
The driftwood covered beach at the harbor is just 5 minutes south.
SECRET BEACH
Secret Beach is wild and scenic and it's just a quick 10 or 12 minute drive north on US Highway 101.
WHALE WATCHING
Resident gray whales can be seen all year but they are more frequently spotted in the summer and fall when they feed closer to shore. We also have thousands more migrating whales along the Oregon coast every year, going south, between mid-December & mid-January and they start returning up the Oregon toward to Alaska every year in between late March and June.
REDWOOD NATURE TRAIL
Walking under the canopy of a redwood forest is like being in a natural cathedral. The mile long and quite walkable Redwood Nature Trail is just 9 miles away. And world famous Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park is just 22 miles south on US Highway 101.
WILD RIVERS
The Chetco River, with some of the best salmon runs in the world plus a lot of trout and steelhead, runs right through Brookings. And the cold waters of the Smith River, just a few miles south of Brookings, also has plenty of fish, especially salmon and trout.
OCEAN FISHING
Thee are well over a dozen ocean charter fishing companies and fishing guides available in the harbor just two miles south of our property.

PARKING
If your car leaks oil or other fluids please park in the gravel area just outside the property wall; otherwise please park in the courtyard parking area near the entry to your suite near the sign that says "STUDIO 7 Parking".

This is a small town and the neighborhood is quiet. Harris Beach, one of the best in Oregon, is just an eight to ten minute walk from your suite, or about two minutes by car.

There is bus and taxi service available if preferred, plus our little town is s a 'bicycle friendly'. :)

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS – by Barbara
Patrick & I were (and still are!) grateful & amazed at the good fortune that came our way when we acquired two 'diamond in the rough' coastal properties on the Southern Oregon coast that are right next to each other. Both sit on their own cliffside acre overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean.
We did not plan on being vacation rental hosts - it just sort of happened - but we are glad it did because we are always delighted to share these amazing properties with our guests.
I was recently retired from a job in the medical field and Patrick had sold his real estate office when, in March of 2019, we found the coastal property we now live in while we on a road trip through Southern Oregon.
The house that is now our home had been on the market 5 years as part of an estate sale & it needed a lot of work, but we loved it the moment we saw it. **We made the best offer we could afford and our offer was accepted! The separate guesthouse that came with it became our first vacation rental.
Then in 2022 our elderly & very kind next-door neighbor, a widower, decided to move to Portland to be with family. His circa 1950 house also needed a lot of work. We were experienced hosts at that point and we knew the location and layout were absolutely perfect for another vacation rental. **So Patrick worked out a deal with the seller that included some seller-financing and we bought it. Then we put in granite counter tops, tiled showers, redwood decks, heated floors, bigger windows and much more.
Our objective was to create a magical space where people can come to relax in quiet comfort with lots of privacy & stunning ocean views. It worked out perfectly and now we love sharing these magical side-by-side properties with our guests!
Thank you for considering a stay with us while in Brookings. Patrick and I wish you safe travels and an enjoyable visit.
Sincerely,
Barbara :)
PS.
1. No one has better coastal views
2. Best price/value - nothing comparable at this price
3. W always treat people the way we would want to be treated
