Welcome to Siletz Shores!



Set right on the bayfront in Lincoln City’s Taft District, this inviting condo places you in one of the Oregon Coast’s most charming and walkable neighborhoods. From the private deck, you can watch the tide shift across the sandy shoreline and even catch a glimpse of where the Pacific meets the bay just off to the right. With the beach only steps from the complex, it’s easy to spend your days walking the shore, exploring the water’s edge, or simply taking in the view.



Inside, the home feels bright, beachy, and comfortable, with pelican decor throughout that adds charm and a playful coastal feel. The open living area includes a sleeper sofa, cable TV, a DVD player, and a wood-burning fireplace that makes evenings feel especially cozy. The dining table seats four for easy meals, games, or takeout nights, while the kitchen offers full-size appliances, warm wood cabinetry, and generous counter space for everything from coffee to beach snacks.



Step onto your private bayfront deck and take in the water and sandy shoreline as the tide rolls in and out. Look slightly to the right and you can spot where the Pacific meets the bay, an unforgettable view that makes it easy to slow down and stay awhile. When you’re ready to get your toes in the sand, beach and bay access are right outside, and the shoreline invites long walks in either direction.



The condo sleeps up to four guests across two comfortable queen bedrooms. Two full bathrooms provide flexibility, with one walk-in shower and one tub and shower combination, and the in-unit washer and dryer make longer stays even easier.



From beach walks and bay views to Taft’s shops, galleries, glass art, and great local eats, Taft Bayfront makes it easy to park the car and enjoy Lincoln City at your own pace.
