Ground-level condo, fabulous view! Wifi, smart TV, and 50 easy steps to the beach. The Oceanfront bedroom has a queen bed and balcony. The remaining two bedrooms are on the street side with one queen and one king bed. The couch in the front room also folds out into a queen-size bed. Sleeps 8 quite easily! Please let us know at time of booking the number of guests in your party, since our rates are based on occupancy, and my manager does count noses :)
Captain's Quarters is one of ten condos in our building. Since it is perched on the low sea cliff, we can enjoy winter storms and balmy summer breezes in the condo. Or campfires and long walks on the beach. An oceanfront condo with a fireplace is the best place to be in the world! Cuddle up to the fireplace, or step outside onto the ocean balcony, and enjoy the amazing sight and sound of the mighty Pacific!
No smoking.
Our Cancellation Policy is Relaxed and allows 100% rent refund up until 14 days prior to your stay. FYI, if you find it necessary to cancel at any point between booking or 14 days prior, we must charge a small 5% processing fee to cover our expenses.
No pets allowed. Please do not ask to bring a favorite animal. It just doesn't work to mix animals and folks with allergies in our private condo. I cannot host guests with dogs, because I have other guests, who specifically ask me for "allergen-free" rooms.
The condo is equipped with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, oil, a drip coffee maker, filters, an array of cooking pans, pots, bowls, a crock pot, blender, waffle iron, casserole dishes, and utensils.
For your planning purposes: our rates are based on occupancy. Extra guests over the number of two cost only $12/person/night, and are quoted in your price when you include the total persons in your party. This makes our condo affordable for couples or families. If you arrive with additional guests who are undeclared, our extra person charge is $20/person/night.
Location, location, location! Captain's Quarters has the exploding horizon of sand and surf, which is always interesting, no matter the weather. No more beachfront is being made, so this unique cliffside condo with a fabulous view is a treasure to us.
Beach access is via 50 gentle stairs (with two handrails) or a paved ramp to drive onto the beach! In fact, during April - Sept, many people like to park their cars on the beach (right below the condo) when the tide is out! But twice a day, the tide rolls in, and clears everybody out!!!
Parking in a beach town is challenging but manageable. We have 11 off-street parking spaces. Some will accommodate large vehicles, others will not. If you are driving a small vehicle, please be considerate and choose a small parking space. Please be aware that a large 4-door truck may find parking in our lot challenging, and you might find it more comfortable to park on a side street.
Please note: We do not provide chargers for electric vehicles. We recommend locating nearby charging stations in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
Extra vehicles can find parking on the side streets of 15th and 14th Streets. Please be advised, that Lincoln City writes tickets if vehicles park in their lot across the street between 1-5 a.m.
Bring your own BBQ to enjoy at the beach, or bring some newspaper and kindling to light a campfire on the beach! (The driftwood is often wet and hard to start without dry wood from home!).
At the time of booking, you can access AirBnb's House Manual, which contains my Welcome Letter and access info. With that, you can let yourself into our condo anytime after 4 pm :)
Beach access is just outside your door! Walk to the beach, looking for glass floats among the cliffs and seagrass. Fly kites, or enjoy a beach campfire. Spin a doughnut in the sand with your vehicle...yes, they are permitted on this section of beach!
There is three public electric vehicle charging locations in Lincoln City. Lincoln County Transit provides busing in the city. Siletz Bay Airport at Gleneden provides Flight Transportation.
This is a vacation rental condo. In an effort to offer an awesome beach experience at a minimal price, we provide clean towels and linens for each guest's stay, but we do not have daily housekeeping, nor provide daily clean towels.
We do provide bath soap bars, complimentary shampoo and conditioner in separate bottles, as well as complimentary coffee for a day or two (depending on how much one consumes :)

Bring some firewood, starter, and roasting sticks, and enjoy a campfire on the beach. It's the state-owned property and perfectly legal without any permit! 'Keep the fire small as a lawn chair and west of the vegetation line and extinguish with water, not sand.' (Oregon State Parks rules)
The local Chamber of Commerce sponsors a fun program called 'Finders Keepers' and annually hides 3000 hand-blown glass sand dollars and Japanese sea floats along the 7 1/2 miles of Lincoln City beach! Be sure to walk the beach in front of your condo and look along the cliffs and among the grass and driftwood for these valuable collector items!
Devils Lake, deep only in terms of historic folklore, is 1/3 mile wide, 3 miles long, and reaches a depth of only 22 feet. Nine species of freshwater fish beckon the fisherman, while water sports such as windsurfing, water skiing, knee-boarding and jet skiing engage other sports enthusiasts. Flowing from Devils Lake is the 'D' River, which holds the title of one of the World's Shortest Rivers. From its source at Devils Lake, the river reaches its destination of the Pacific is a mere 120 feet.
Just 30 miles south is the town of Newport on Yaquina Bay, with its working fleet of fishing vessels, plus sea lions basking on the docks and dozens of quaint bayfront shops and curio stores and restaurants.
