About this property
Nautilus - Cute beach lodging, kitchen, fireplace
Reminiscent of a submarine, the Nautilus features an upstairs bedroom and bathroom with spiral stairs down to the full service kitchen (with electric stove and oven, microwave, full-size frig, toaster, coffee maker) electric fireplace, small dining table and couch.
Here's the fine print: The Nautilus has no beach view. It is on the backside of our building, and one cannot see the ocean from our condo :(
But step outside 20 paces and the whole panorama of the Oregon coast spreads out before you! Realistically speaking, The Nautilus is great for a short-term stay, but probably not 10-14 days...you will want to see the view!
Also, the bathroom door is 24 inches wide and the spiral stairs are only 20 inches wide and are a bit steep with 9 inch high steps. These could be physical challenges for some, and we want to give you full opportunity to understand this.
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!)
Upon arrival, if you have any questions or concerns, please call or text me.
Our property is located between the Pacific Ocean and Hwy 101.
You can walk one block up to the restaurants and souvenir shops on Hwy 101. And the Chinook Winds casino shuttle bus stops right in front of our place.
This condo, The Nautilus, comes with one, off-street parking spot in our lot. If you arrive and cannot find space to park, feel free to park on a side street. You can also park in the City parking lot across from us, just NOT between 1-5 am, because the city tows vehicles during that time :(
This condo has the spiral staircase inside, as well as exterior entrance doors to both levels. It is on the back side of our beachfront building, so beach access is as simple as walking down the steps to the beach! As crazy as it sounds, this is a beachfront condo without the view.
No smoking in the condo, or under covered walkways. No pets or companion animals allowed.
Please note: We do not provide chargers for electric vehicles. We recommend locating nearby charging stations in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host was welcoming, accommodating, and provided prompt replies when I reached out! The unit was clean and had everything we need when we cooked dinner. The bed and linens were also very comfortable and clean as well! Overall a great time.

Alexandra's group were wonderful guests! They communicated well, were tidy and respectful, and treated my vacation cabin as if it were their own home. It was a pleasure hosting them.

Property is described in great detail and we arrived to it being as listed. It had everything we needed for a weekend away which I greatly appreciated. Thank you for a great stay and checking in with us to make sure everything was good when we arrived.
It was a pleasure staying here. The little apartment was perfectly clean and comfortable. The bathroom is upstairs in the bedroom which is convenient, the cute stairs would be a trick in the dark.
Teresa's property is just as advertised. It's very close to the beach with easy walking access. The apartment is very quaint, providing just the right amount of room for two.

Christy, thank you so much for taking the time to review us! It was a pleasure hosting you in The Nautilus :)
Highly recommend! The place was as described, very cute and cozy and perfectly located right next to the beach as well as bars, food, shops etc. Teresa was extremely communicative and helpful and even called around ahead of our stay to find pool tables nearby when I asked if she knew where we could play! (We liked Zeller's and the Old Oregon Saloon.)
This was the cutes little place. Right in the middle of shopping areas and about 2 mins from the beach. 6 mins from the Chinook Winds Casino. The rl8ttle 2 story condo had everything you could need. Its absolute perfect for 1 person and cozy for 2. The bed was comfortable. The stairs are small but no worries there are 2 poinst of access. 2 doors upstairs and down stairs.This was a great place for a great price. I will definitely return.
The Nautilus is the cutest little place to stay in Lincoln City. It has everything you need in a perfect location! We wanted to enjoy the salt and sand outside so we just needed a place to sleep and this was perfect! Would definitely recommend to anyone (as long as you can get up and down the tiny little staircase haha) and we’ll be back for sure!!!

We just stayed for a single night as we toured the coast. Easy access to a beautiful beach. Room itself was delightful. It was a little small, but just perfect for two people. We especially appreciated the two stories connected by a spiral staircase but also having larger access doors from the outside. Very cool.

Clean, homey, comfy bed, close to beach and local eateries. We went to relax- it was perfect.
We wish we could have roasted a salmon- we get the stink. The seagulls enjoyed fresh fish. Didn’t catch your right up in time. 😬

The room was cute but we had no Tv service for 5 days of our stay. We could never get the internet to stay on for more then 5 minutes at a time then it shut off.. also it was a little hard for two people in our 70s to climb the stairs to use the
bathroom or change our cloths.
But the room was nice and a clean place.but no view of the ocean was a bit disappointing.
My girlfriend and I stayed there for a couple days.The room we stayed in didn't have a ocean view, it was the Nautilus room I think? It had two floor with a small spiral staircase, a fireplace a small reclining couch for two people, I wouldn't want to stay in this room with more than two people we are on the larger size of people and the spiral staircase was definitely not fun going up and down. To get to the bathroom. But other than that the room was cute and cozy and inviting. We will definitely be staying again but next time a different room, with an ocean view, even though you're so close to the beach it doesn't even really matter. Fortunately it was really nice weather the weekend we stayed.

Accessibility problems
Difficult to climb stairs between eating/living and bedroom/bathroom make it very inconvenient for older vacationers.
Dishes are in cupboards too tall for a short person to reach and there was no step ladder.
The space is dark, cramped and full of needless globes and sea chests making it even more cramped.
Otherwise it's good - nice location, parking was available.
This charming place was clean and just as described. The location is great for hitting the beach. The only issue was the spotty WiFi connection, but being at the beach we didn’t need it much. We would stay here again.
I stayed here by myself. This was a nice place I didn't need much the property mangers were great. I am a big guy and the spiral stair case was a little bit small. That would be my only compliant. however, there are doors to the outside on both floors so I didn't need the stairs as much.
We spent 2 nights in the Nautilus room while visiting the Oregon coast. We had a little hiccup with check-in (room code was wrong), but Teresa answered her phone immediately, and there was a property manager(?) on-site who was able to help anyway. The place was clean and super cute. Very quiet. The location was great; we were able to walk to an amazing restaurant less than a mile away and beach access was right next to the building. Gorgeous sunsets! We had a great time, and we’ll definitely look to stay there again if we’re in the area
We are a family of six who love the beach! Fifteen years ago, we bought a sailboat and took our kids sailing in the Caribbean for a year. The experience was priceless on many levels! We brought home a love for warm oceans and boats and all things nautical.
Why they chose this property
This condo is a recent remodel/addition to our beachfront property. It is at the beach, and 20 stairs from the beach. It has no ocean view or balcony, but is a great space to retreat after beachcombing! It is also walking distance to souvenir shops and restaurants on Highway 101. It's decor has alot of charm and character, but no beach view :( So the price is a bit lower than most oceanfront condos. When you want to see the beach, step outside and go around the corner for our unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean!
What makes this property unique
The Nautilus provides an affordable beachfront vacation, and access to the beach 24/7.
