Welcome to turtlejanes bed and breakfast
Turtlejanes is a delightful, small bed and breakfast in the lovely, coastal village of Oceanside (one of Oregon’s best kept secrets!). Each room has its own private bath with heated floors. The view of the Pacific Ocean is magnificent from every room. Windows open to allow the sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep. Guests schedule their own breakfast times so they can plan their days the way they want. Breakfasts include farm fresh eggs and other natural wholesome local products, fruits and vegetables, and homemade baked goods prepared daily. There is a library in the entry way with a variety of books and a little community borrowing library out front. It is a very short walk to the beach. There is a tunnel leading to additional beaches north where there are tide pools, caves, and agates. Guests love turtlejanes and return again and again.

Storm Watchers
The Oregon Coast is ideal for storm watching and the quiet, off-the-beaten-path village of Oceanside is a great place to be during winter storms. Turtlejanes is located high enough above the beach for safe viewing and yet close enough for observing the fury of coastal storms while enjoying all the amenities of a great bed and breakfast.

Whale Watching - (Whale Migrations)
If you are in the area to catch a glimpse of whales and need a place to stay – come to turtejanes! We will pack a lunch for you to take with you.
Gray whales migrate south from their feeding grounds in the Bering and Chukchi seas around Alaska from mid-December through January to head to their breeding grounds in California and Mexico. In late March through June the whales migrate north back to Alaska. Approximately 18,000 gray whales pass close to the Oregon coast while making this trip. The summer months are also a great time to spot gray whales as 200-400 do not go as far north as Alaska to feed and from July through October whales are often close to the shore while feeding and are spotted from higher view points.
