Tag: Oregon Beach Condo Rentals

Lincoln City, Oregon offers one heavenly slice of the Great Outdoors with a wealth of beach house rentals that allow you to enjoy every inch of it from the moment you step out the door. Once you book one of our oceanfront homes or beach condo rentals, you will quickly find that there is something for everyone in this beautiful patch of the Central Oregon Coast. Here are a five of the best ways to explore the Great Outdoors in Lincoln City this summer.

5. Crabbing and Tide-Pooling Clinics

With 7½ miles of stunning beaches to explore, Lincoln City is one of the best examples of the Central Oregon Coast. There are even local experts who are more than willing to share their knowledge of coastal activities such as crabbing, clamming, tide-pooling, and beachcombing at free clinics throughout the year. An upcoming tide pool clinic on July 19 (starting at 8:30 a.m. at Lincoln City’s Northwest 15^th Street Beach Access) will give attendees a chance to learn about the colorful sea creatures that live in the rocky intertidal pools along the beach. If you’re in town on July 25, you can also learn more about the local beaches while crabbing on Siletz Bay following a brief introduction starting at 11 a.m. at the pavilion on Southwest 51^st Street.

4. Lincoln City Farmers & Crafters Market

The Lincoln City Farmers & Crafters Market takes over the Lincoln City Cultural Center from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. every Sunday during the summer with a wide range of items for sale. The outdoor market only features items that were homegrown or handmade, so whatever you buy, you can be sure it’s fresh and local. Prepared food, beverages, and entertainment are also offered.

3. Finders Keepers on the Beach

Beachgoers from far and wide come to Lincoln City in the hopes of finding their very own blown-glass float hidden on the beach by “float fairies” between October and Memorial Day each year since 1999. The tradition began as a celebration of the new millennium inspired by the colorful globes that used to wash ashore from Japanese fishing boats sailing the sea around the turn of the previous century. The city will be celebrating 20 years of this ongoing tradition, known as Finders Keepers, by “dropping” 20 unique floats inspired by the new Explore Lincoln City brand along public beaches between Siletz Bay and Roads End on the 20^th of each month.

2. Local Summer Festivals & Special Events

Lincoln City and its surrounding areas are buzzing with local festivals and special outdoor events this time of year. The popular Lincoln City Summer Kite Festival that took place in June was one of the most successful yet, but don’t worry if you missed it – there are still plenty of fun fests to enjoy! The Dory Days Festival in Pacific City, for example, will take place the weekend of July 19-21 with a fish fry, parade, and much more to celebrate the local dory fishing culture. The Annual Summer Whale Watch Weekend at Boiler Bay State Scenic Viewpoint (north of Depoe Bay) will also take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on July 27 and 28. The Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society hosts this event and volunteers will be on hand to help you better understand the local wildlife and make the most of your time outdoors.

The best things to do in and around Lincoln City are what things you want to do. Lucky for you, there are plenty of options to choose from. Book your stay today and get outdoors!

Once you’ve booked your beach vacation rentals, Lincoln City will be yours to explore with music, movies, theatre, art, culture, and so much more to delight your senses. Here are a few of the local venues where you are likely to find something to tickle your fancy this summer:

Summer Morning Matinees at the Bijou Theater

The Bijou Theater is a favorite among locals and a real treat for visitors looking for an authentic cinema experience. The Summer Morning Matinees are a longstanding tradition that returns every Saturday at 11 a.m. throughout the season, so if you’re visiting Lincoln City over a weekend you have a great opportunity catch a classic flick on the big screen. This summer, the theater is even adding extra weekday screenings, so you won’t have to miss out if your schedule conflicts. Upcoming screenings include the 1986 film Castle in the Sky on July 20, 22 and 25 and the 1988 film The Land Before Time on July 27 & 29 and August 1.

More Events Around Town

There are plenty of other upcoming events all over Lincoln City at a wide range of bars, clubs, restaurants, and many other venues as summer rolls on. For example, Oregon State University’s After Dark Dance Team will be performing everything from the Lindy to Ballroom at 6:30 p.m. on July 24 at Driftwood Library if you’re looking for something really lively and unique. Black Squid Beer House is also celebrating its two-year anniversary July 25-27 with a special edition of Thursday Trivia, a Buoy Beer Company tap takeover and Black Squid IPA tapping on Friday, and Retroactive Gamma Rays performing live on Saturday night.

A1 Beach Rentals is offering a huge “fill in the gaps” discount on one of the best beach condo rentals Lincoln City has to offer. The quaint Seabird Cottage, which still has several shorter bookings available in between longer bookings throughout July and August, is now discounted by $50 per night for all of these remaining dates. With a view that has been described in the guestbook as “awesome,” “marvelous,” “fantastic,” and “spectacular,” there’s no wonder why so many guests leave Seabird Cottage happy. The question is: will you book while this deal lasts? Here are a few reasons to book your discounted summer getaway ASAP.

It’s All About the Views

As already mentioned, the breathtaking views set this cottage apart from other beach vacation rentals. Lincoln City is already known for its 7½ miles of stunning beaches that are easily accessible and viewable from countless locations, but not all locations offer floor-to-ceiling windows with 180-degree views of the surf, sand, sea creatures, and (most importantly) sunsets. You can also choose to relax in comfort on the oceanfront deck, patio, and hot tub while enjoying these views – talk about a picture of paradise!

A Home Away from Home

With a wide variety of hotels and beach house rentals, Lincoln City, Oregon has its fair share of accommodations for visitors to choose from. Few accommodations offer the beauty, style, and comfort of a home, though. Seabird Cottage offers all that and more with custom trim, hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove white wooden walls, a ‘great room’ with a granite slab kitchen and island, 4 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, an oceanfront deck/patio, and a hot tub. There’s also a media room with WIFI, two televisions, DVD/VCR players, and a music center. There’s a good chance you won’t even notice these creature comforts, though, because beach access is just a few minutes away from the front door.

Amenities Galore

It’s true that beach access is the best amenity that money can buy in Lincoln City, but you’ll get a few more amenities to make your stay worthwhile at Seabird Cottage. It’s the little things that make a stay great, after all. That includes things like beach chairs, cable television, Internet access, utensils and cookware in the fully stocked gourmet kitchen, modern appliances such as a dishwasher and icemaker, washer and dryer, gas fireplace, fresh linens, and much more.

So Much to Do

You might find that the perfect weekend at Seabird Cottage consists of nothing more than walking and beachcombing during the day, enjoying the sunsets in the evening, and cooking gourmet meals with locally sourced ingredients in the fully appointed kitchen. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! There is so much to do, though, if you’ve got a little bit of adventure in mind. If you’re looking to play on (or around) the water, there is boating, boogie boarding, crabbing, clamming, fishing, hiking, surfing, whale-watching, tide-pooling, and more. Local businesses also offer craft shopping, outlet shopping, golf, movies, sight-seeing, art, fine dining, wine tasting, plenty of fun for the kids, and a world-class casino resort.  What more could you ask for when all of this is available at a discounted rate throughout the end of summer? Don’t wait until every last date is booked up, though – contact A1 Beach Rentals today and look forward to your future stay at Seabird Cottage.
