Rental + Artist Retreat
This hand-built fisherman’s cottage and flower garden is an ideal location for a solo or couples vacation or an introspective artist retreat — nestled on a pond / wildlife estuary and two blocks from the most stunning beach in Southern Oregon.
The cedar-walled main bedroom sleeps two on a queen-sized Nectar memory foam mattress—and has a window nook with a view of Redmon Pond. Imported stained glass windows and recently refinished Douglas Fir floors accent the beautiful cedar walls and open-beamed ceilings throughout. Custom beach-rock entry and hearth with cozy Jötul wood burning stove will keep you warm. The kitchen is equipped for light cooking. There is a 32” HDTV with Apple TV (netflix, hulu, hbo) available for your use in the den. There is a walk-in shower with wood walls and slate floor in the bathroom. Once home to a local ceramic artist in the 1970’s and 80’s (her studio is out back) the cottage pays tribute to her with an eclectic collection of ceramics and fine art that has been curated (read : scrounged) from galleries, thrift & antique stores for the last 25 years.
Bandon, OR, USA
The South Jetty Cottage is located right on Redmon Pond, which is populated with seasonally migrating birds and 2 resident geese that will no doubt come through and say hello at some point during your stay. South Jetty Park and Black Rock Beach (stunning sunsets, tons of agates and the best surfing in town) are a two block walk - and Face Rock is a 20 minute walk South along the driftwood lined beach. Historic Old Town Bandon is a 15 minute walk away (3 minute drive) - with shopping, crab shacks, restaurants, bars, fish + seafood markets, and a weekend farmers market for you to explore.
The South Jetty Cottage functions part of the year as a vacation rental—profits from which fund our multi-disciplinary artist residency program. In addition, our Artist Retreats offer rented stays in the cottage at discounted rates for working visual artists. Artist retreats do not have airbnb service fees, etc. and are offered on a limited first-come basis, within a 3 month window from inquiry.

The cottage was hand-built in the 1950’s by a master carpenter with driftwood and salvaged lumber that washed ashore on nearby Black Rock Beach. There are four other houses nearby that he built as well. See if you can spot them! Fall asleep in a piece of Bandon’s unique hand-crafted artisan history—along with the peaceful sounds of Redmon Pond frogs, beach waves crashing—or the soothing South Jetty foghorn in the distance. The stars are insane here.
