Oregon Coast Waves Vol 1.3

A FLOATING B&B WITH A STUNNING VIEW
This newly remodled 1990’s steamboat is the perfect getaway
The Newport Belle Bed and Breakfast has to be one
of the most unique lodging accommodations the
central Oregon coast has to offer, and it happens
to be located right across the bridge in South Beach! The
Newport Belle is a 97-foot paddlewheel boat that was built in
1993 and specifically designed to be a bed and breakfast. The
boat is registered as permanently moored, so there will be no
cruising up the Yaquina River during your stay, but enjoy the
sunroom from 5 to 6 p.m. for happy hour.
This adults-only accommodation features four rooms — soon
to be five — thoughtfully curated by Randy and Paige. There
are no cookie-cutter rooms here — they’re all different and will
leave you eager to return to try them all. All rooms have their
own bathroom, sparing guests the awkward tip toeing in the
middle of the night, half asleep, to find the bathroom that
can come with some bed and breakfasts. You will find hand
sanitizer in each and every room created by their neighbors at
the Rogue Ales Distillery. Coffee pots are also in each room,
allowing you to sip your first cup in bed before you head to
breakfast!
rooms! Well, she joked, not all ideas — sometimes Randy will
give her a little “grr,” which means he’s got to think on it. Prior
to her newest endeavor as co-host of the Newport Belle, Paige
was a senior program manager at MGM in Las Vegas. Now you
can find her in the kitchen whipping up the three-course meal
that comes with your stay.
The Newport Belle Bed and Breakfast has spectacular views
of the Yaquina Bay Bridge and harbor, rain or shine! Plan on
sending the kids to grandma and grandpa’s, book a night and
get ready to hop aboard the Newport Belle.
Randy, who has a background in maintenance and repair, has
made all of Paige’s ideas come to life in the newly remodeled
