About this property

Sand Dollar-Oceanfront balcony, kitchen, fireplace

Ground-level condo with one king bed, kitchenette, fireplace, ocean balcony.

The Sand Dollar is a ground-level studio that sleeps 2 people in a brand new king bed (2020). The bed is right by the sliding glass door to the ocean balcony. This is one of ten condos in our building.

The fabulous ocean view makes this condo unique because it is so affordable. Nothing compares with enjoying the electric fireplace on a cool evening, or sitting on the balcony with a cool drink, watching the beach action below!

32" Samsung smart TV.

The condo has a microwave, oven, refrigerator, sink, and basic spices (salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, and Italian seasoning) plus oil and oil spray. We also have a drip coffee pot with filters, and an adequate array of cooking pans, pots, bowls, casserole dishes, and utensils. If something you need is missing, please feel free to call me!

Since seafood leaves strong odors in the condo, please no fresh cooking seafood.

Extra folding chairs and table games are in the closet.

No smoking in the condo or on the balcony. No pets or animals are allowed.

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.

If you make arrangements with us, we can provide a camping cot for a small child.

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 the time you book the condo, you can access AirBnb's House Manual in this reservation for the Welcome Letter and get the access code for the key lockbox to the front door, so you can check yourself in anytime after 4 pm.

We love the immediate beach access from the Sand Dollar 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 are permitted on this section of the beach!

Only one off-street parking spot is included with this condo. But feel free to park on any side street. You can also park across the street in the City Parking lot, but NOT between 1-5 am, or they will tow your vehicle :(

There are three public electric vehicle charging locations in Lincoln City.
Lincoln County Transit provides busing in the city. Siletz Bay Airport at Gleneden provides Transportation ( (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) .

This is a vacation condo. In an effort to offer an awesome beach experience at a minimal price, we provide clean towels and linens at the beginning of each guest's stay, but we do not do daily housekeeping, nor provide new towels daily.

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 :)

For your planning purposes: our rates are based on occupancy. Extra guests over the number of two cost only $8/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 $15/person/night.

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.

BRING BINOCULARS for your trip! From here, you can watch ships, whales, people, birds, and vehicles stuck in the sand...great fun!

The Sand Dollar is in the upscale Oceanlake Historic District, conveniently located close to a ramp to actually drive onto the beach sand!

For the shoppers in your group, Tanger Mall on Highway 101 in Lincoln city has name-brand outlet shopping for those who wish to cruise the shops, as well as many antique stores and curio shops.

The Chinook Winds Casino and Convention Center is just 2 miles north, with an indoor golf resort, seafood dining, concerts and entertainment, and 23 table games.

Bring some firewood and a starter 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)

Bring roasting sticks, marshmallows, hotdogs, and kindling firewood, and you can enjoy a campfire of your own making on the beach :)


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 it's working fleet of fishing vessels, plus sea lions basking on the docks and dozens of quaint bayfront shops and curio stores and restaurants.

World-famous Oregon Coast Aquarium is also located in Newport, as well as the Maritime Museum and the Hatfield Marine Science Center. Your days will be delightful, whether beach combing for glass floats or shopping or dining or reading in front of the fireplace!

Good and could be better

Pros: Great view, comfy bed, clean. Cons: inadequately stocked and appointed. No place to put suitcases or unpack, no closet, no bathroom shelf to put personal hygiene items. Box of foil contained a two inch piece. Suggest the owners stay a night or two in this unit and you will see what I mean.

Funky

The room was funky. Not a lot of care put into it. Carpet was dingy and cold. Though sold as a 'full kitchen' - but it wasn't very usable (no counter space). I wouldn't come back here.

Amazing View, Easy Access

The main attraction of this property is definitely the balcony overlooking the ocean, providing stunning views and a pleasant place to sit back and read. The kitchen is small but functional, although limited counter space would make it hard to make anything too involved. The bathroom is small, giving just enough room for one person to maneuver. There is no fan in the bathroom, and the only ventilation is a window that opens onto the main walkway. The living area is open and spacious, and could easily accommodate a cot if needed. We could hear neighbors walking around in the unit above us, but there was no one in the unit next to us so I don't know how well the walls are insulated. The headboard was loose and would hit the wall whenever we got into or out of the bed, so I put a pillow between the headboard and wall to solve that problem. As for amenities, the WiFi is marginal, but the satellite TV provides numerous movie channels as well as local news. The price is reasonable and the view is spectacular. This is an 8-unit building, almost like a small motel, so you won't get complete privacy on the balcony. Overall, I was happy and would recommend staying here.

Perfect weekend getaway

The property was exactly as designed in the listing, a smaller studio with an amazing view. The unit was clean and obviously well kept and cared for. While not applicable to us, unit 4 would be very accessible if that is a concern for your stay, with no stairs to climb for entry into the unit. That balcony, oh my! I seriously could have spent the entire weekend sitting there, sipping coffee, and just watching the ocean do it’s thing. An amazing view from high atop the beachside cliff. Access to the beach is right there, with gentle stairs or a vehicle ramp if you so choose. If you are more inclined to get out and see town, you are within walking distance of both shopping and dining, and also within a short drive to many more options. I would recommend a short drive to SALT for a breakfast sandwich and a latte. Teresa lived up to her high ratings as a host. This was my first use of VRBO, and she made the experience as smooth as could be. Communication during the week prior to our stay was informative in a general sense, and when I posed specific questions, Teresa’s replies were both prompt and informative. She proved herself to be a great host. Overall I could not have asked for a better experience, and our hope for a quick weekend stay to get away from real life was more than achieved.

Wonderful Stay!

Everything was wonderful for our second time coming to this cozy place. Last night there, the tenants above the room were very loud and obnoxious. Of course that has nothing to do with the property, so it does not limit my love of this place.

Come for the view and the location with easy access to the beach. Sitting on the back deck to watch the sunset get's pretty windy most of the time but a blanket that is provided is perfect to huddle or cuddle in to stay warm. <3

Great Location

The view from this location is unbeatable! The checkin process was very easy and we even got to check in early. I would have appreciated somewhere to put clothes (like a dresser) as we were there for a week. Lastly, the faucet in the kitchen makes it difficult to do dishes. We have stayed at this location before but in a different condo. When will be back.

Awesome studio with view.

We had a great time, the place was just as advertised! Very clean, cute, and comfortable. Delicious restaurants nearby so we didn’t cook. The only suggestion would be a power strip on both sides of the bed so 2 people could charge phones close by at night, but that certainly didn’t detract from our stay! Excellent little getaway on the beach!

Lovely coastal studio.

Great little place to visit. It would be to small to bring the kids but was great for two people. Love hearing the waves and feeling the ocean. Only gripe was there not assigned parking so one day had to be on the far side of the property, but there was always at least one spot.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Reich

Host profile image
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 of warm oceans and boats and all things nautical.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the ocean and beach immensely, and keep finding ourselves vacationing at Lincoln City! The interior decor is vintage, and we are intrigued with the possibilities for more fun decorating. And the view here is unsurpassed by anything we've seen at the coast.

What makes this property unique

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!
