Second-level condo with king bed, oceanfront balcony, warm electric fireplace, kitchenette (small counter space complete with stove, oven, microwave, toaster, full size frig, coffee maker) wifi, Samsung smart TV.
The Quarterdeck is up 15 stairs with two handrails, on the second floor. It is one of ten condos in our building.
New king bed (2020) right by the sliding glass door to the ocean balcony. The fabulous ocean view makes this condo unique and romantic. Nothing compares with sitting on the balcony with a cool drink, watching the beach action below! The fireplace is electric, which means one can run "flames" for ambience but no heat. It's nice to be able to lie in bed and watch the "fire"! There are two kitchen table chairs, and one soft "easy" chair by the fireplace.
Table games are in the closet.
No couch. If you make arrangements with us, we can provide a camping cot for a small child.
The condo is equipped with basic spices (salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, and Italian seasoning) plus oil and oil spray. We also have a drip coffee maker with filters, and an adequate array of cooking pans, pots, bowls, casserole dishes, and utensils.
Seafood odors linger long and strong. So please, no cooking fresh seafood in the condo.
No smoking in the condo, or on the balcony. No pets or animals allowed.
Shower stall only in bathroom (no tub).
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.
One block away from Highway 101, easy walking to restaurants, souvenir shops, and a grocery store.
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!!!
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. I do not have pet-friendly rooms.
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.
At check-in, we issue one parking permit for our lot, and vehicles without permits will be subject to towing.
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, but burns great once going!)
At time of booking, you will have access to the House Manual under "Basics" and receive a code for the key lockbox at the front door, so you can check yourself in anytime after 4 pm on your first day.
We love the immediate beach access from the Quarterdeck condo! Walk the beach, looking for glass floats among the cliffs and sea grass. Fly kites, or enjoy a beach campfire. Spin a doughnut in the sand with your vehicle...yes, they all are permitted on this section of beach!

It's very easy to step outside and walk around to the edge of the lawn and enjoy the ocean air and sights, downlooking from the bluff to view the tide pools and people on the beach below.
