Avoid the Stress of Thanksgiving Travel in Coastel Oregon

Posted on 11/23/2013 in Uncategorized.


Stressful travel is a tradition during Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, especially for folks whose immediate family members live in distant places, but some travelers prefer to get away to a more relaxed destination such as one of A-1’s Oregon beach vacation rentals. Lincoln City, offers seven miles of splendid coastline reachable by the famous Highway 101, where friends, families, lovers and loved ones can enjoy this holiday with the most majestic views imaginable. Now that A-1 Beach Vacation Rentals is open on Thanksgiving, there’s an excellent alternative to the stress of traveling to the big cities or hosting a huge dinner on this busy travel weekend.

Relief from Thanksgiving Travel Stress
One of the most compelling reasons to consider getting away to the Oregon coast during Thanksgiving is the hectic nature of holiday travel this time of year. Just consider some of the statistics:
  • According to the American Automobile Association, the number of Thanksgiving travelers in the United States is expected to reach over 43 million this year.
  • Approximately 3.14 million of these people will travel by plane for the Thanksgiving holiday.
  • Nearly 39 million of these people will be traveling by car – a nightmare on the roads
  • About 37 percent of Thanksgiving travelers will depart on Wednesday, November 27, the day before Thanksgiving.
Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, bus or automobile, it’s going to be stressful out there. All this stress can easily be avoided in the pleasant, charming town of Lincoln City, and the surrounding areas of oceans, lakes, mountains, and other natural wonders, where the only “traffic” will be fellow hikers, cyclists, joggers and nature lovers on the beaches and trails.

Thanksgiving Celebration Options in Lincoln City

Just because you and your loved ones have chosen to escape the stress of a traditional Thanksgiving doesn’t mean you can’t have a lovely meal and enjoy special time together while staying at one of A-1’s Oregon beach home rentals. Lincoln City, offers several options to choose from for the Thanksgiving Day feast. Fathom’s Restaurant at the Inn at Spanish Head, Siletz Bay Buffet at Chinook Winds Casino, The Dining Room at Salishan and Mist at Surftides each offer a Traditional Thanksgiving buffet for under $40 per person. Maxwell’s and Lil Sambo’s will offer a traditional sit-down meal, the Side Door Café will be serving special Thanksgiving dinner entrée options, and Grandma’s Kitchen will be serving a ham or turkey entrée with traditional sides. Many of these establishments will shut down by 6 p.m., however, to allow staff to enjoy a dinner of their own. Safeway, the local grocery store, also offers semi-prepared ham, turkey or prime rib dinners, which can easily be heated in one of our rental homes or Oregon beach condo rentals. Lincoln City, has no shortage of options to enjoy your Thanksgiving in comfort, style, and above all, relaxation.

Make a New Years Resolution to Travel to Oceanfront Property in Oregon

Posted on 12/28/2013 in Uncategorized.

It’s that time of year when everyone’s making New Year’s resolutions, but have you thought of resolving to enjoy more relaxing getaways where you stay in beautiful beach vacation rentals? Oregon is an ideal destination for such a resolution. It might seem strange or even selfish, but this could be just the right kind of New Year’s resolution if you’ve been feeling stressed and unfulfilled. Doing more things for yourself – positive, refreshing, healthy things – is a great way to begin feeling more energized and inspired. Coastal Oregon is also a great place to spend more quality time with loved ones. Here are a few reasons why Oregon coast beach house rentalsshould be in your list of resolutions:
 
Feed Your Inner Self in the Great Outdoors
There’s more than enough to do in the great outdoors when you’re staying in one of our beach house rentals. Oregon coast beaches offer endless activities such as beach combing, clamming, crabbing, surfing, and whale watching. Aside from beach activities, the local landscape also offers opportunities for bird watching, cycling, eco-excursions, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, golfing, skateboarding, wildlife viewing, and more. Not to mention Lincoln City’s Connie Hansen Garden, the History Buff Tour and Haunted Tour, the state and national parks around the coast, daytrip destinations, outdoor activities for kids, and various festivals and events that take place outside throughout the year.

Get in Touch with Your Culinary Side
The Oregon coast is about much more than oceanfront property. Oregonseaside towns such as Lincoln City also offer various activities that feed your five senses, including cooking classes, cook-offs, and other culinary pursuits. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Sharon Wiest, the Lincoln City Culinary Center offers group and private cooking classes that celebrate the seasonal cuisines of Oregon, from fresh seafood, grass-fed meat and free-range chicken to organic fruits, vegetables and grains. You might even get to dig for clams, visit a farm, or attend one of the many cook-offs held throughout the year in Lincoln City, including the Chowder, Fish Taco, Jambalaya and Wild Mushroom Cook-offs.   

Shop for Treasures That Last a Lifetime

Coastal Oregon boasts some of the most unique, inimitable shops and businesses you’ll find, and did we mention tax-free shopping throughout the entire state? Vacationing to the big cities might leave you with bags of mall-bought items that you can find in many other cities around the world, but shopping on a trip to the Oregon coast will leave you with something you won’t find anywhere else. Just consider the glassblowing studios throughout Lincoln City, where you can purchase one-of-a kind glass art, or even create it yourself while staying in one of our beach vacation rentals. Oregon coastal towns also offer numerous art galleries and gift shops where you can view and purchase unique treasures to remind you of your time here. Chances are, though, that you’ll be back for more sooner than later, once you’ve gotten a taste of what this splendid stretch of coast has to offer.

Three Reasons to Get Away to Oregon Coast Beach Rentals this Winter

Posted on 12/28/2013 in Uncategorized.

While we may think of summertime when we think of adventures and getaways, winter can be the best time to plan a vacation to one of our beach house rentals. Oregon coast is an ideal destination, and winter can actually be an ideal season to visit. Many of us have extra time off during the winter holidays, and even if you have to use some vacation time in January, it’s worthwhile because the summer crowds are conspicuously absent from most destinations. The winter weather may scare some folks off from destinations such as the Oregon Coast, but if you’re creative about activities and enjoy beautiful scenery, it could be your ideal place to get away and enjoy some special time with loved ones. Not to mention the beauty and charm of our Oregon coast house rentals on the beach. Here are three winter activities on the Oregon Coast if you’re still curious about what this wintry vacation might look like:

1. Find World Class Entertainment at the Casino

Chinook Winds Casino is conveniently located in walking distance to many of the Oregon coast beach house rentals in Lincoln City, and an easy drive from many popular accommodations in the surrounding areas. The casino features frequent tournaments and promotions, but it’s about much more than just gambling, so if you’re not the betting type don’t be put off by the title of this entertainment destination. Chinook Winds also offers world-class golf, concerts and comedy shows with performers from far and wide, a play palace and games for kids, and all sorts of special events throughout the year. A variety of dining options are also available, ranging from buffets and casual fare to fine dining, delectable seafood, and swanky lounges.

2. Stroll the Beach or Main Promenade

While you may think a coastal town will be all shut down during the winter, coastal Oregon towns such as Lincoln City are home to local residents and visitors year-round, so most businesses are still open on the main street. In Lincoln City, Highway 101 is the main street, where you will find everything from gift shops to glass blowers to charming eateries to enjoy. And with more than 20 beach access points from central Lincoln City, this is a great place to start a stroll on the beach as well, which is equally beautiful in the winter as the summer, as long as you have a coat.    

3. Catch Your Dinner by Digging for Clams

Razor clamming by lantern is a popular activity on the Oregon coast this time of year, due to the frequent minus tides. There are still several days to enjoy minus tides this winter, including those from December 30 – January 3 and January 28 – February 2. There are even clam digging lessons available for beginners. Or if you’re not interested in digging for your own dinner, most Oregon coast beach rentals are within walking distance of local restaurants where you can let someone else do the work and simply enjoy the delicious results.

Why January is a Great Time to Get Away to the Oregon Coast

Posted on 01/24/2014 in Uncategorized.

While some people prefer taking tropical vacations in June and July, other travelers prefer getting away to Oregon coast house rentals on the beach in January and February for a wintry, wonderful vacation like no other. Not only are activities like whale watching ideal in the winter, but there also isn’t as much foot traffic throughout the coastal towns during this quieter time of year. If you want to enjoy whale watching and other wonders of the ocean, and maybe even get a chance to feel like you have the whole beach to yourself, right now is the perfect time to book a last minute trip to the charming beach enclave of Lincoln City. There are plenty of great deals on Oregon coast beach rentalswaiting for you and your favorite companions to take advantage of.
Great Deals for January 

It’s not too late to get great vacation deals to ring in the New Year. A-1 Beach Rentals of Lincoln City is offering a third night free for a stay in January, for example, if you book two nights in one of Lincoln City’s many charming beach vacation rentals. Oregon travelers can choose from such marvelous oceanfront properties as The Pacific Escape, a 3-bedroom home with hot tub that offers huge panoramic views and easy access to whale watching, or The Prince of Whales, an exquisite oceanfront condo located in Depoe Bay. (The Seabird Cottage and Moonbreaker, however, are excluded from this special.)
A Great Time for Whale Watching

Whale watching is one of the most compelling reasons to get away and rent a piece of ocean front property. Oregon coastal properties provide the ideal accommodations to get out early every day and see some of the most stunning creatures that grace our oceans. The Central Coast, where Lincoln City is perfectly situated, is one of the best places in the U.S. to spot gray whales, as they make their way along this stretch of the coastline to migrate south every winter. You will find whale watching charters that leave from the coast daily, and while you’re at it make sure to stop by The Whale, Sea Life and Sharks Museum in Depoe Bay. This museum is unique in that it focuses exclusively on gray whales, which you won’t find at any other museum that we know of on the planet.
Other Great Winter Vacation Activities

Aside from whale watching and enjoying some rest and relaxation in one of the many Oregon coast beach rentals around Lincoln City, you and your loved ones will find a nearly endless list of activities to enjoy around this beautiful area in the winter. The beautiful crashing waves will mesmerize you for hours, and for the more adventurous types the many miles of kayaking trails will provide more than ample space to enjoy such active pursuits. The Oregon coast is also known for sumptuous seafood, award-winning craft-brewed beers, and much more. It’s simply a great time to plan a coastal trip to the Pacific Northwest.
