Get to Lincoln City in Time for Beachcombing Season

With some of the state’s best seaside attractions and beach house rentals, Lincoln City, Oregon is known for its 7½ miles of beautiful beaches that attract visitors throughout the year. This is why it’s the perfect setting for Laura Joki’s beachcombing clinics that started in January of this year and are wrapping up at the end of April. If you want to catch one of these fun and free beachcombing clinics while they last, or if you’re just looking for an excuse to get away from it all, it’s about time to book your beach vacation rentals! Lincoln City is waiting to show you all the treasures that its beaches hold.

When to Visit and What to Expect

This year’s season of weekly beachcombing clinics started on New Year’s Day, and there are only four sessions left in 2019. Weather permitting, these clinics will take place at the SW 33rd Street beach access point on the following dates and times:

Saturday, April 13 at 11:00 a.m.
Wednesday, April 17 at 3:00 p.m.
Saturday, April 27 at 11:00 a.m.

The clinics each begin with a short orientation followed by a walk along the beach with stops to guide you through the process of hunting for seaside treasures such as gemstones, fossils, agates, shells, rocks, minerals, jasper, and petrified wood. Beachcombers are advised to follow strict beach safety precautions, wear good outdoors shoes, and to bring a raincoat, a pair of gloves, and a sturdy container or bag for collecting all your treasures. Over the course of the two-hour clinic you are also encouraged to ask lots of questions, so that next time you go to the beach, you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for.

Gem & Jewelry Lovers Are Always Welcome

Even when the beachcombing clinic season is over, visitors can always find Laura Joki at Rock Your World, a shop in Lincoln City’s Nelscott District run by her and husband Mike Joki. They sell all sorts of rocks, gems, fossils, and handcrafted jewelry made from these and other treasures from the seaside. It’s always worth a visit even if you just want to have a chat and see what they have in their collection. If you love shopping for unique and handmade items, there are also several other jewelry shops in Lincoln City as well as art galleries, glass and pottery studios, gift shops, and other unique stores where local artisans and antique dealers sell their wares.

WWII Sub Lookout Could be Your Next Beach Rental!

Did you know there are beach house rentals on the Oregon Coast that used to act as World War II submarine lookouts? That’s right, you can experience a bit of history and relax in style at vacation homes such as The Submarine in Lincoln City, Oregon. This is just the ticket to a perfect weekend away whether you’re a history buff or just want to experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean right outside the door of a property known for its added style and charm. This historic property is unlike any other beach condo rentals on the Oregon Coast, but this deal won’t last as long as it has!

The Submarine- Sleeps 2-4 guests (2 queen rooms). Sweeping Oceanfront views from North- South. Beach access and glass enclosed hot tub perched overlooking Surf & Sand on a quiet beach. Used as Lookout during WWII .Wifi….

Historic Home Above the Sea

The Submarine is a two-bedroom property with its own private entrance, deck, and hot tub that are separate from those of the Anchor condo, which is the master suite that sits above the garage. During WWII, the entire house was used as a submarine lookout due to its strategic views of the oceanfront. It is also possible to book the two attached properties together as the Anchor and Sub House. With two queen bedrooms, a comfortable living room, sun room leading to a private deck, and recently remodeled kitchen, the Submarine alone offers plenty of room for four people to live in luxury. You can step outside to the private, glass-walled hot tub or enjoy the sunset and views of surfers at Nelscott wave from the comfort of a deck chair. When you’re ready to hit the sand and surf yourself, it’s only 90 stairs down from the deck (with resting benches along the way) to an almost private beach with tidepools to explore and plenty of picnic tables and BBQs.

All the Amenities of Home and More!

The Submarine is fully furnished and ready to go with linens, towels, a starter kit of paper products, cookware, utensils, ironing board, washer/dryer, and a full kitchen that includes a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and toaster. You will also find cable television, Wi-Fi, DVD player, VCR, and gas fireplace to keep everyone entertained and warm indoors. There might not be much time spent indoors, though, considering the view from the deck (complete with deck chairs) and private beach access right outside your door! And if you need to run a few errands or keep the kids occupied, nearby you will find gas stations, mini marts, grocery stores, ATM machines, medical services, a post office and FedEx, playgrounds, community center, fitness center, library, and more.

Beautiful Lincoln City Outside Your Door

Being close to the ocean is, of course, one of the main reasons people book beach vacation rentals. Oregon is dotted with all sorts of beautiful beaches along its west coast, and Lincoln City is famous for 7 ½ miles of the most stunning coastline in the state. You would not be unhappy if all you did during your stay was go to the beach. You can take a walk and visit a lighthouse, or go beachcombing, biking, boating, kite-flying, tide-pooling, whale-watching, crabbing at Siletz Bay, or deep-sea fishing at Depoe Bay. The town of Lincoln City is full of surprises worth straying from the beach for, though. The Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Lincoln City Outlet Mall, gift shops, craft shops, antique shops, glass blowing studios, art galleries, museums, a golf course, a miniature golf course, a wide variety of restaurants, and other attractions are all nearby. It would be particularly fitting to visit local museums and learn more about the area’s history while you stay in this historic beach vacation rental!

Celebrating 20 Years of Finders Keepers on the Beaches of Lincoln City, OR

Looking for an excuse to get away to one of A1’s fabulous beach house rentals? Lincoln City, Oregon residents are celebrating the 20^th anniversary of Finders Keepers, a tradition in which “Float Fairies” hide blown-glass floats along the city’s beaches in a nod to the colorful spheres that used to float ashore from Japanese fishing boats in the days of yore. The “20 on the 20th” celebration kicks off on February 20th with a special drop of 20 limited edition glass floats, which will be a recurring event on the 20th of each month until May. If you’re itching to get away to Lincoln City’s 7½ miles of beautiful coastline, there’s never been a better time to book your beach vacation rentals! Lincoln City is waiting to share this special tradition with you.

Even if you don’t find a glass float on the beach, there are many galleries and blown-glass studios in Lincoln City where you can purchase an unnumbered glass float or other piece of beautiful glass art. It’s all part of the fun and a good excuse to visit this awe-inspiring stretch of coastline in Lincoln City, Oregon.

20 Years of Glass Floats on the Beach

Although Finders Keepers was first imagined by a local blown-glass artist in 1997, it was not until 1999 that Lincoln City sponsored the initial season of glass floats on the beach. The artist was inspired by tales and images of lustrous, blue and green, blown-glass floats that used to wash up on Oregon’s shores from Japanese fishing crews that used them to keep their nets afloat. The project was meant to mark the coming millennium and attracted tourists from across the country. Now, 20 years on, the tradition has cemented itself as a part of Lincoln City’s unique local culture and is sure to remain so for many years to come.

What to Expect on the Hunt for Glass Floats

The glass floats hidden on Lincoln City’s beaches are meant to be found, with their bright colors and inconspicuous positioning below the beach embankment and above the high tide line. The Float Fairies come along several times a day during daylight hours between October and May to place blown-glass floats made by local artisans in fairly conspicuous spots where visitors like you might find them. Barring extreme and unsafe weather conditions, these drops go on as scheduled rain or shine, and there are also special drops to commemorate holidays and other celebrations. If you’re lucky enough to find one, just make sure to register it online through the Explore Lincoln City website. You’ll be able to register your float with its unique number, learn about the artist, and get a Certificate of Authenticity.

More Special Glass Float Drops in 2019

The fairies drop a few floats every day during Finders Keepers season, and 20 limited edition Explore Lincoln City floats will be dropped on the 20th of each month for the rest of the season, so there’s always a chance to get your hands on one. There are a few other special drop dates to look out for as well if you’re thinking of booking a vacation home or one of A1’s cozy beach condo rentals. Lincoln City Float Fairies will be doing a special drop of 50 pink, red, and white floats February 16-17 for Valentine’s Day; 300 extra floats between March 23rd and April 7th for Spring Break; 50 Earth floats April 21-22 for Earth Day; 50 extra floats May 11-12 for Mother’s Day; and 50 red, white, and blue floats May 25-27 for Memorial Day. Even if you don’t find a glass float on the beach, there are many galleries and blown-glass studios in Lincoln City where you can purchase an unnumbered glass float or other piece of beautiful glass art. It’s all part of the fun and a good excuse to visit this awe-inspiring stretch of coastline in Lincoln City, Oregon.

Winter Rates Not Only Reason To Visit Oregon Beach Rentals in October

October is an ideal time to book one of the fabulous Oregon beach house rentals along the coast of Lincoln City, as rates are entering the lower-priced winter season. The summer crowds are also fading to memory as the calm breezes and warm sands remain, making this perhaps the perfect month to stay in one of our beach vacation rentals. Oregon is chockfull of indoor and outdoor pursuits to choose from during the fall and winter months as well. But if you’re still not sold, here are five of the top reasons why you should stay on the Central Oregon Coast this October:

Ideal Walking and Hiking

During the ‘tourist’ months, walking and hiking trails also tend to be busier. On top of that, the weather can sometimes be too hot for enjoying more strenuous walks in the direct sunlight. This is why early autumn is such an excellent time – the trails are clearer, and the weather is somewhat cooler but not yet cold and stormy.

Autumn Culinary Delights

The bounty of the harvest is on full display throughout Oregon during October and November, and the Central Coast boasts an idyllic sampling of this cornucopia. There are many ways to enjoy the bounty, from pumpkin picking to cider sampling. The Culinary Center in Lincoln City is one of the best places to gain a real appreciation of the food and drink that this areas has to offer, with its series of cooking classes and demonstrations complete with wine and food for one price. Upcoming events at the Culinary Center include a Fall Comfort Food Demonstration Class on October 12, Hands-on Tailgating Class on October 20 and Hands-on Baking Intensive Class on October 27.

Better Beach Time

When school’s out for summer and the weather is hottest, the beaches are sure to be busy wherever you go. Lincoln City is no different. This is one reason why some people prefer visiting its 7½ miles of beautiful coastline during October. It’s often still warm in October, so you can enjoy the feeling of summer once more and get your pick of the best beach rentals. Lincoln City, Oregon is always a beautiful place to visit, but when you can escape the crowds, you can appreciate it that much more.

Fun Fall Activities

There are more fall activities than one person could possibly dream of doing in Lincoln City during the month of October, and there is truly something to suit every taste. There are ghostly walking tours departing from the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Saturday Morning Matinees of classic films at the Bijou Theatre, the Farmers & Crafters Market on Sundays, the 15th Annual Dark & Stormy Night series with authors sharing their work at the Driftwood Public Library, numerous art exhibits throughout the city and, of course, several spooky parties and events on the weekends before and after Halloween.

The Best Booking Deals

With all of the above reasons, it’s plain to see why October is an excellent time to book a stay at one of our beach house rentals. On top of all that, there is also the price. Summer has drawn to a close and that means the end of summer booking rates. Winter boking rates, of course, are always bound to be lower. With the warmth of summer still remaining throughout much of October, you can get the best of both worlds: calm breezes and warm beaches along with lower rates and smaller crowds.

Low winter rates are already kicking in, so what are you waiting for? Book your stay today and enjoy the splendor of October in Lincoln City, Oregon!

End of Summer Romantic Getaways

Beach condo rentals offer the ideal mix of comfort, location and romance for a quick getaway to enjoy the last of the summer sun before autumn begins. If you’re thinking of getting away to the Central Oregon Coast through October, there are many beach house rentals to choose from. A-1 Beach Rentals still has several available bookings for the coziest and most luxurious condo rentals – as well as larger properties – in the best locations along the coast of Lincoln City, Oregon. There are even deals to be had, including on the restored 1927 property with hot tub known as the ‘Nantucket’ cottage. Keep reading to learn more about beach condo rentals in Lincoln City and book your romantic getaway today!

A Prime Location for All Sorts of Couples

One of the best things about Lincoln City as a location is the close proximity of the ocean to many of the city’s best beach vacation rentals. Oregon beaches are among the most beautiful in the world and offer exceptional sunsets as well as endless activities including beach walking, beachcombing, boating, boogie boarding, crabbing, fishing, surfing and swimming. It’s a great place for all sorts of couples to get away from it all, as there is something for everyone in this charming town. Local entertainment includes a world-class casino, craft shopping, hiking trails and wildlife viewing areas, golf and spa at the Salishan Resort, a historic lighthouse, miniature golf, movie house, museums, theatre and skate park. There are also a number of excellent restaurants, bars, cafes and even a culinary center offering cooking courses complete with a meal and wine. And speaking of wine – several world-renowned wineries are only a short drive away.

Consider a Quaint Little Cottage for Two

The Nantucket is an excellent example of what a romantic beach condo rental can and should be. It is the epitome of quaint and cozy, with its original wainscoting walls, crisp white trim, a handcrafted wood fireplace, comfy furnishings for two and beautiful French doors that lead you to a wooden deck offering a hot tub and lovely atmosphere. There is even a second deck to soak in some rays or observe the ocean from matching patio chairs. Quaint and cozy doesn’t have to mean rustic or roughing it, though. This cute cottage comes equipped with cable television, DVD player, VCR, movies, stereo and WIFI to keep you entertained, as well as a full kitchen with coffee maker, cookware, microwave, oven, refrigerator, stove, toaster and utensils. Other perks include fresh linens, washer/dryer, private yard with its own walkway and nearby amenities such as a fitness center, library, playground, medical services, ATM, FedEx and outlet shopping.
