About the neighborhood
This cozy beach cottage sits in a quiet Lincoln City neighborhood where you can enjoy a more relaxed, residential feel while still being close to everything that makes the Oregon Coast such a fun place to visit. It’s the kind of location where you can slow down, hear the ocean, take the dog for a walk, and enjoy the neighborhood before heading out to explore.
One of the best features of this location is the proximity to the beach. You’re only about four blocks from the sand, making it easy to head out for a morning beach walk, search for shells and agates, watch the sunset, or simply let the kids run and play. Lincoln City has more than seven miles of sandy coastline and numerous public beach accesses, so there are plenty of places to discover during your stay.
Lincoln City is actually a collection of several distinct coastal neighborhoods, each with its own personality. From the Roads End area in the north to the historic Taft District and Siletz Bay in the south, you can spend days exploring without ever running out of places to stop. Highway 101 runs through the heart of town, making it easy to get from one end of Lincoln City to the other.
For beach lovers, there is plenty to do beyond simply sitting in the sand. Beachcombing, tidepooling, surfing, kite flying, whale watching, and searching for Lincoln City's famous Finders Keepers glass floats are all part of the local experience. More than 3,000 hand-blown glass floats are incorporated into the annual Finders Keepers tradition along the city's seven miles of beach.
You'll also find plenty of shopping and dining nearby. Lincoln City offers everything from casual coastal restaurants and fresh seafood to coffee shops, bakeries, breweries, candy shops, galleries, and locally owned boutiques. The Lincoln City Outlets provide another option for shopping, with more than 40 stores, while the historic Taft District is a great place to wander, browse galleries, enjoy the waterfront, and experience Lincoln City's glass-art culture.
For families, there are parks, playgrounds, trails, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. Devils Lake offers kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing, while Siletz Bay is popular for crabbing, clamming, wildlife watching and sunsets. Lincoln City has 26 parks and nine trails, so there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors beyond the beach.
Art lovers will find plenty to explore as well. Lincoln City is known for its glassblowing tradition, and you can watch artists create glass pieces or even try making your own at the Lincoln City Glass Center. The Connie Hansen Garden is another peaceful little gem, offering a beautiful garden experience tucked into town.
And when you're ready to venture beyond Lincoln City, you're perfectly positioned to explore more of the Central Oregon Coast. Head north toward Roads End and Cascade Head for hiking and dramatic coastal views, or drive south toward Gleneden Beach, Depoe Bay, Newport and beyond for even more beaches, shops, restaurants, lighthouses and coastal adventures.
The beauty of this cottage is that you get the best of both worlds: a quiet neighborhood where you can relax and recharge, with the beach only a short walk away and the restaurants, shopping, attractions and outdoor adventures of Lincoln City just minutes from your door.

Getting around
Getting around Lincoln City is easy by car, and this cottage is conveniently located for exploring both the immediate neighborhood and everything the Oregon Coast has to offer. Highway 101 runs through Lincoln City and serves as the main route connecting the different areas of town, from Roads End in the north to the Taft District and Siletz Bay farther south. Most restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, attractions, and beach access points are just a short drive away.
The beach is only about four blocks from the cottage, so you can easily walk down when you're ready for some sand and surf. Lincoln City has 28 public beach access points spread throughout the community, so you're never far from another stretch of coastline to explore.
If you're venturing farther, Lincoln City makes a great home base for exploring the Central Oregon Coast. Depoe Bay is about 15 minutes north, while Newport is approximately 25–30 minutes south. You can continue south toward Yachats and Florence or north toward Tillamook and Cannon Beach for a day of coastal sightseeing. A car is recommended for exploring these surrounding communities and attractions.
You'll find grocery stores and everyday conveniences along Highway 101, including Safeway and 1st Choice Fresh Market, making it easy to stock the cottage for your stay. Lincoln City's major attractions are also spread throughout town, so having a vehicle makes it simple to come and go without worrying about long walks between destinations.
Parking at the cottage is available on-site, providing the convenience of being able to park at the home rather than searching for street parking. Please use the designated parking area and be mindful of the compact nature of this cozy beach cottage and its residential setting.
For beach days, parking availability varies by access point. Some locations offer ample parking, while others have limited spaces, particularly during busy summer weekends and holidays. For example, the city's SW 51st Street access has ample parking, while SW 35th Street has limited parking.
Once you've arrived and settled in, you'll find that this is a great little home base for exploring Lincoln City by car—or simply parking the car and walking down to the beach.
