Market Overview
This profile covers Bandon, Oregon, a city of 3,304 residents, using short-term rental data for the central and southern Oregon Coast. The metrics are reported at a shared regional level that also covers Coos Bay, Gold Beach, Florence, and Brookings, so every performance figure below describes the Oregon Coast STR market rather than Bandon alone. In September 2026, that market averaged an ADR of $285, occupancy of 60.9%, and monthly revenue of $4,750 per listing. Compared with September 2025, occupancy is up 5.3%, ADR is up 4.8%, and revenue is up 7.2%. Entire-place listings averaged $288 per night. Demand is anchored by Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, which opened in 1999 and now has five 18-hole championship courses, along with Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Shore Acres State Park, and Cape Blanco Lighthouse. South Coast visitor spending reached about $561 million in 2023, and lodging and food services account for 56% of it. Peak demand runs spring through fall, and golf travel extends the season beyond typical summer peaks. The longer trend shows annual occupancy falling from 71.0% in 2021 to 52.2% in 2025, while ADR rose from $221 to $252. Through September 2026, the year to date figures are 56.4% occupancy, a $268 ADR, and $4,211 in monthly revenue, which points to a recovery from the 2025 low. Bedroom, channel, and listing-type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Bandon, so this profile omits them. Investors should read these numbers as regional benchmarks and review Bandon’s permit rules, covered in the regulatory section, before underwriting a purchase.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Bandon, but only with a permit. Bandon requires a Conditional Use Permit as a Vacation Rental Dwelling (VRD), and VRDs are allowed only in the CD-1 zone (with the VRD overlay map), CD-2, CD-3, and C-3. A saturation limit applies: fewer than 30% of detached homes within 250 feet may already be VRDs, and checking this requires a paid saturation map ($25 from the city). Permits are non-transferable at sale, so a buyer cannot assume an existing rental right. Permits renew annually. Neither owner occupancy nor primary residence is required, and enforcement severity is rated moderate. Bandon levies a 9.5% local transient occupancy tax on stays under 30 days, plus Oregon’s statewide lodging tax, which rose from 1.5% to 2.5% on January 1, 2026 under HB 2977, for a combined 12% in 2026. Neighboring jurisdictions differ. Coos Bay caps vacation rentals at 75 citywide, requires a Type II land use permit, and lapses the permit if the home is rented fewer than 10 nights per year. Gold Beach city limits are highly restrictive and new permits are effectively paused. Brookings permits rentals with specific zoning, primarily on the west side. Port Orford requires an operating license under Ordinance 15-2023, with caps under consideration. Unincorporated Curry County requires an STR permit plus an annual business license, and its Transient Lodging Tax rose from 7% to 10% on July 1, 2024. Verify the rules at the city or county level before buying.
Market Comparison
The Oregon Coast market performs solidly in September 2026, with occupancy of 60.9% and an ADR of $285. Entire-place listings at $288 and professionally managed listings at $308 sit above that average, and luxury listings reach $461. Revenue per listing is up 7.2% year over year, supported by gains in both occupancy and rate. Seasonality is pronounced: occupancy runs from 35.9% in January to 78.3% in July, so annual results depend on summer and the golf season more than the September snapshot suggests. Annual occupancy for 2025 was 52.2%, while the 2026 year to date figure is 56.4%. Investors should weigh these rates against a permit system that restricts new supply in Bandon.
