Of course, one need not have mobility challenges to take advantage of the mobi mats. Everyone is invited to use them to get way out onto the beach, closer to the water.

And the beaches are a big reason to come and stay in one of the great beach condo rentals in Lincoln City, Oregon. Sea shells, beautiful stones and rocks, the breeze, the calming sound of the surf, the beautiful sunsets, the glass floats, plus kites darting too and fro — all are ready to welcome you.

Spring Flowers Near Vacation Beach Rentals

The Pacific Northwest never has extreme weather. Winters are mild and summers don’t get hot. These predictable, and generally comfortable, conditions make it an ideal place to book for an easy-to-plan stay at any of our beach vacation rentals. Lincoln City, Oregon boasts a climate typical of the region.

But this climate also means the conditions are great for some kinds of vegetation and flowers all along Oregon oceanfront property.

Those who stay at Oregon coast beach condo rentals will be able to enjoy spectacular views at the Connie Hansen Gardens. The namesake, Connie Hansen, collected many different varieties of rhododendrons. You probably didn’t know there were so many types of “rhodies”! But the Oregon coastal climate is perfect for these flowering shrubs. And at the Connie Hansen Gardens, a short drive from Lincoln City, Oregon beach home rentals, you’ll see all sorts of rhodies — from tiny ones with delicate flowers and small leaves, up to massive ones that are more like trees.

But rhododendrons aren’t all you’ll see at the Connie Hansen Gardens. Lots and lots of azaleas accent the rhodies and giving their own vibrant splashes of color. joining the rhodies and azaleas, and also blooming big in the spring, are irises and other lower flowering plants. Ornamental trees and ground-covering plants complete the look, and guarantee that you’ll love your visit to the Connie Hansen Gardens.

Connie Hansen is an easy drive from Oregon coast vacation rentals, right in Lincoln City, Oregon.

But while the Connie Hansen Gardens provides the best planned and tended garden views you’ll see, you don’t need to go to a garden to be wowed by the spring flowers. The Oregon oceanfront property and even a mile or five inland sport many species of wild flowers. All along the roadways, across fields, and everywhere the landscape is left to its own devices, flowers will find a way.

You’ll see spectacular species as you go out from your comfortable Oregon vacation home. These include daffodils, crocuses, purple camas, pond lilies, wild iris, coast fawn lilies, Hartwig’s wildginger, and so many others.

Many places along the Oregon coast host events around their flowers. Connie Hansen Gardens host various events throughout the year, but they’re not alone. Take a look around for other public gardens and communities in easy driving distance from your beach rental — in Eugene, Corvalis, or even Portland, for example — to find events and opportunities.

But lodging in Lincoln City, Oregon is a great place to start. It also is a great place to use as a base for exploring further up and down the Oregon coast. Book your stay at a vacation beach home today, and get ready for a peaceful and colorful vacation!

Great Board Games for Family Vacations

Sometimes when you’re out on vacation you just want to stay in, order takeout, and do something together. This can especially be true when you stay in comfortable, homey beach vacation rentals. Lincoln City, Oregon has many of them.

And even though there are so many amazing things to do in Lincoln City, Oregon, we understand the impulse to have “a night in.”

Or, if you had plans for an outdoor excursion, but the weather doesn’t quite cooperate, you’ll be glad you’re staying in one of the great beach home rentals near Lincoln City, Oregon.

And during those nights in, many families enjoy a good board game to pit wits, test strategies, inspire conversation, and just have a good time together. Here are some suggestions for board games that would be a hit during a comfortable evening in Oregon vacation rentals.

First is Ticket to Ride. This comes in two versions, one featuring a game map of the United States and the other a game map of Europe. Players take turns building railroads and completing routes between far-flung destinations. The game is for 2 to 5 players, and it gets more complex and difficult with more players. But it is fast-paced, and groups can play multiple sessions in one evening. The drawback is this is a large-box game, so it would be better suited to those who drive to their Oregon coast beach house rentals.

Our second suggestion is Mille Bornes, which is a fairly old card game. Players draw cards and attempt to “travel” 1000 miles more quickly than their opponents. But opponents can cause havoc on the roadway or cause each other to run out of gas, or other calamity. This comes in a small enough box that it can be suitable for air travel, but since it is a game about driving, perhaps you should insist on making the breathtakingly beautiful drive to your beach condo rentals!

A third suggestion is Unexploded Cow. This is the most easily packed game among all of our suggestions, so it can travel with you no matter how you come to your Oregon beach vacation rentals. In Unexploded Cow you amass herds of mad cows and march them through the French countryside in search of unexploded ordnance from the First and Second World Wars. When one of your cows explodes, you get money. It’s a very fun game for groups of two to six, and each round goes only about 25 minutes.

Our fourth and final suggestion is Settlers of Catan. A global sensation when released, it pits settlers against each other to have the most dominant settlement on a deserted island. This game can be somewhat more cutthroat than the others, so it is a great one for families and friends who like some more intense competition over something that ultimately doesn’t matter — so it’s great for a “night in” at your cozy, homey beach home rentals. Lincoln City, Oregon has a lot to recommend it as a destination, and our many beach rentals are on that list!

So be sure to book your stay today!

Prepare for a Stress-Free Day on the Beach with the Whole Family

Every year, families of all sizes flock to the Oregon beach house rentals in Lincoln City to enjoy a few perfect days (or weeks) along this beautiful stretch of coastline. With such a gorgeous setting and wide array of beach rentals, Lincoln City, Oregon is an ideal setting for a family-friendly vacation. Whether your clan is large or small, though, you will need to do some planning before you set off from your rented beach house for a day at the beach.

Getting Ready – What to Bring for Family Fun

Whether you’re walking or driving to the beach, you will need to pack smart if you want your kids to stay happy and safe while you retain your sanity and even have a bit of fun yourself. The essentials include a mesh beach bag, water shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, lip balm, plenty of water, towels for drying off and big towels for sitting on (also consider yoga mats and foldable chairs for extra comfort), an extra bag for trash, any medications your family may need and, if you have a baby, whatever you’d normally pack in the diaper bag for a day out. If you’re bringing a picnic, also pack napkins, try to pack different foods in separate containers to avoid a sandy mess and consider a folding table for a clean place to eat. Here are a few more things you may want to pack for an extra touch of fun and cosiness:

· a pop-up beach tent to provide shelter from the sun and sand;

· a waterproof and/or washable toy for your little ones to cuddle while taking a nap;

· a blow-up pool that will be your “front yard” for the kids to play in; and

· toys such as noodles for the water, buckets and spades for building sandcastles, and whatever else will keep your kids entertained while you steal a moment to relax.

How to Keep Safe and Sane on the Beach

A day at the beach can quickly turn ugly if you’re not careful. Therefore, it’s of the utmost importance to think about safety when you’ve got a family in tow along the Central Oregon Coast. Firstly, try chilling your sunscreen to help cool down hot bodies and reapply about every 30 minutes to avoid cancer-causing rays. Pack some loose clothes and baby wipes as well, so you can help cool down any potential victims of sunburn as the day goes by. To avoid unnecessary hassle, think about things like going to the bathroom, keeping everyone well-fed and hydrated throughout the day, how the adults are going to carry everything to the beach, and how you’re going to get everyone off the beach when the day is winding down. And, finally, be wary of the waves and try to choose a spot where you can see a lifeguard.

You’re much more likely to have a full, happy and satisfied day along the Oregon Coast if you plan a few activities that everyone will enjoy. Exploring the local tide pools is a great idea, as you can teach your kids about respecting wildlife and show them magical creatures such as mollusks, snails and starfish that share the sea. Most importantly, let your kids be themselves as long as they aren’t putting themselves or anyone else in danger. A day on the beach should be fun for all!

With the right beach vacation rentals, Oregonand its majestic coastline is the perfect setting for a family vacation. And with the right planning you can create wonderful memories for years to come.
