About this property

Sparrow's Nest Charming Vintage Apartment with Bay Views


Discover this uniquely designed and beautifully, yet eclectically curated apartment home. If you adore whimsical decor, charming historical vibes, well-stocked amenities, and home-grown hospitality while adventuring on Oregon's southern coast, you've found the Sparrow's Nest for good reason!

With spoonfuls of magical character and many stories from it's 110 plus years, this unique gem has so much charm that you can feel it. Staying at the Sparrow's Nest is a truly divine experience!

The Sparrow's Nest second floor suite is accessed by a tall stairway, complete with authentic ship's railing. Rustic ship-lap walls are accented by soft and eclectic furnishings, vintage pieces, and artwork.

Charming rustic-chic decor with comfy linens, fluffy towels, treats, coffee, tea, and first morning's continental breakfast, among other amenities to make your travels feel like home.

Check out the vintage kitchen with well-supplied, modern amenities: everything one needs to whip up a batch of Sunday morning pancakes, and more! Delightful touches such as the double drainboard cast iron sink, open shelving, and no fewer than four different ways to make a hot cuppa Joe (French Press, percolator, drip, and of course coffee maker...or there are two charming coffee shops within walking distance!) compliment the uniqueness that is the Sparrow's Nest.

Discover the original butler's pantry, now the Secret Library, which has a lovely and diverse collection of books from local history, sightseeing, and maritime lore to interior design, fiction, and a darling array of children's books for guests to peruse, enjoy, and curl around during their stay.

Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, two twin folding floor mattresses, a sofa and love seats for petite guests in the living room are able to comfortably accommodate a myriad of sleeping arrangements. Deciding who gets to sleep in the lace-draped canopy bed, or the Paper Art Room with enchanting classical art prints may be coin-toss worthy!

Eastern bay views of the water can be enjoyed from the living and dining areas. Sunrises over the bay can be spectacular.

Walk to theaters, shopping, restaurants, pubs, and parks; a 15 minute-drive to beaches, sandy toes, and sand castles!

*Apartment is on the second floor of historical building, so there is a tall staircase of approximately 20+ steps upon entry.

*Being that the Sparrow's Nest is located downtown, city sounds such as traffic, among others, are inherent and unavoidable in an urban setting.

*Respectful nudes, as well as cultural images are present in the artwork inside of the Sparrow's Nest.

*While we do our sincere utmost to maintain meticulous standards of cleanliness, the space may contain allergens, including those of pets and gluten, among others, inherent in a vintage and historical building. Please communicate any special needs or requests prior to your arrival, that we may do our best to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible.

Home Rules:

*There are two parking spaces in the front of the blue building, and 3 parking spaces behind the sand-colored apartment building that you may park in. Parking behind the sand-colored building can be tight for larger, or full-sized vehicles, though we regularly accommodate minivans and smaller trucks back there. It is up to your own discretion, risk, and comfortability to decide where you would like to park. For larger vehicles, I recommend parking in one of the two parking spaces in front of the blue building when they are available. Parking is not assigned, and there is one space per suite, so your party is allowed one space only. If you happen to have multiple vehicles or guests with vehicles during your stay, they are welcome to park up the street, or in the free city parking spaces.

*Please note that our neighbors at the historic and beautifully remodeled Liberty Theater will commence the groundbreaking for further renovations. This may create daytime construction noise through March for which we deeply apologize. However, we dearly love the performing arts, and so support the preservation process of our beloved next door theater, as well as the beautification of our downtown.

*Well-behaved pets are welcome. We just ask that pets are on a leash at all times when outside, and that owners are diligent about picking up pet waste. There may also be other pets on the property with whose owners I have the same expectations. Pets should be attended at all times.

*No smoking/vaping of tobacco or cannabis products indoors. Both are legal in Oregon, and you are welcome to step outside, off and away from the property to enjoy.

*While families with children are welcomed, please know that there are potential safety risks, and children should be attended to at all times.

*For the sake of our guests, quiet hours are maintained between 8pm and 8am.

*Please do not cook crab, seafood, or other highly odoriferous foods inside of the home space as the smells are incredibly difficult to remove.

*These are shoe-free homes. Please curl your toes around the soft rugs and make yourselves cozy. This eliminates so much dirt from entering the place, especially in the wet months on the coast. Thanks for understanding!


*Thank you kindly!

Gotta be there to experience the magic!!

There aren’t really words for how amazing this day was. When you enter, you are pleasantly surprised by all of the amazing intricate details of this beautiful space. But honestly above and beyond that… How the heck does someone keep such a space so sparkling clean? I definitely would like to know that secret because this place was one of if not the most cleanest place we have stayed in! And, also the most thoughtful. I’m not gonna share all of their little secrets because I want you to feel surprised as well. What I can say is the owners of this property go above and beyond to really try to make you feel special and welcome and be able to enjoy your trip. I travel a lot nowadays, more than I ever thought With my own business, I’ve been across Oregon, and I will definitely say this was one of my favorites! Also, I have significant chronic pain due to arthritis and have a special bed at home just for that. With that being said, I had really wonderful, peaceful sleep in a very, very, very comfortable bed! Don’t miss out on this really awesome opportunity. If you’re going to stay in Coos Bay bypass the hotels and stay somewhere that has a little bit of sass, a whole bunch of class, and provides a once in a lifetime experience. 💗

Couldn’t be happier, excellence from start to finish

I got this place for my sister and her kids to stay, and I cannot speak highly enough about the communication and the thought that went into this Rental – it was exceptional. So many little things that made their stay so much more personal and exciting. The hidden library was my nephews favorite part. I have absolutely no hesitation. Recommending this place and look forward to using it again. Thank you so much!

Great home base for North Bend / Coos Bay visit

Sparrow's Nest was a great place to stay for a coast visit with our in-laws. The whole apartment was immaculately clean and the host provided both abundant information and a wealth of useful items like snacks and toiletries, above and beyond anything I've seen at any other short-term rental. As noted in the property description, you'll hear some road noise due to the proximity to downtown and the old house, but we had no trouble sleeping in the comfortable beds. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. You're in easy walking distance from various downtown restaurants, and a short drive from some beautiful spots on the coast. If you want a place to stay on the south coast, you won't regret staying at the Sparrows Nest!

Great Vintage Vibe

This was my second stay with my sister at the Sparrow’s Nest in North Bend. Shayla is a wonderful host who is very responsive and takes great pride in providing a charming apartment with a great vintage vibe. The location is great and the nest is a perfect place to use as a home base for enjoying the southern Oregon coast or for staying in and relaxing.

Home away from home

The Sparrow’s Nest was so comfortable and welcoming. The host left us some breakfast treats and coffee. The rooms are beautifully decorated— the photos don’t do it justice. Beds were comfortable and the whole place was spotless. Within a short walk are restaurants and cafes. We were in town for a work event and would stay again.

Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

My friends and I stayed here for a girls’ trip and we all LOVED this place. Charm, charm and more charm. The beds were comfortable and the special touches and goodies made our stay very enjoyable. Shayla is an excellent host and always responded to our questions promptly. I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and she is the most communicative host I have ever dealt with. The location was convenient to many of the beach hikes we selected. If I am ever in this area again, I will definitely rent this lovely apartment again. I’ve already referred it to others. Thanks, Shayla, for an amazing experience!

What a special home to be welcomed into! The muffins were ridiculously good, the kids ravished the snacks and candy, there we're coloring books laid out and ready for the little one, the views were amazing, every detail of this place just made me smile. What a great home base to explore the beautiful Oregon coast. We can't recommend this place enough! Thank you Shayla and Family!

it's ALL in the details...

have you ever looked at a piece of art and the longer you study it the more you see? that would describe the sparrow's nest: a feast for the senses. Shayla is amazing. there is not one little detail that she has overlooked. have a question? need a suggestion? she will point you in the right direction. the neighborhood is great - residential on one side (for dog walking) and commercial the other direction (yummy food, antiques, thrifting...) it truly feels like you are visiting a friend's house. we loved every minute of our stay.

Cozy Nest

This property is a real gem on the southern Oregon coast. The apartment has two comfortable bedrooms, a full size bathroom, a combined dining and sitting room and an ample kitchen. All the decor is nostalgic and clever and it is very apparent that the host, Shayla, takes great pride in catering to the needs and comforts of her guests. Communication is prompt and thorough and we would gladly stay at this property again when visiting the area.

Charming apartment

The apartment itself is extremely charming, welcoming and comfortable. The host obviously goes to a lot of effort to thoughtfully stock in provisions. Appliances and kitchen gear all work well. The location is good - walking distance to an old North Bend neighborhood. Parking is safe and convenient. The whole effect is to make one feel at home right away. We loved it.
