Oregon is unique. There are many places to vacation for all types of people. You may choose to
vacation at Sunriver, Bend, Mt Hood, Portland or as many do, at the beach. The Oregon beach offers
many different accommodations and activities as well as beautiful scenery. Taking a vacation is a
common practice for most families. Often the vacation is for an anniversary, summer break or a three
day weekend. As a smart consumer I am sure you are always looking for the best value for the
dollar.
Setting criteria is vital when selecting a hotel or other vacation lodging. Maybe you really want a
hotel with a beach front or ocean view. Maybe serving continential breakfast is important as well or
you may want a quite hotel. Often price is the deciding factor but don't be so quick to take price
over reality.
No one wants to go to the beach and see the parking lot from their hotel room window. You came to
the beach to see it and enjoy it. After researching hotels in Lincoln City, most beach fronts' range
in prince from $80.00 to $200.00 a night before taxes and other fees, varying on the weekend.
Typically the search ends here, it is expensive and no beach view.
Even if you choose to go this route, hotel rooms even without an ocean view are still $50.00 to
$100.00 in Lincoln City, and then they try to lure you with the always questionable continental
breakfast or free cable. Typically the continental breakfast is simply coffee, orange juice and some
sort of pastry such as a donut. I don't know about you but a single donut for breakfast isn't going
to do much for me except ruin my diet. Cable, who needs cable I am on vacation, I can watch TV at
home!
A vacation should be a time to catch up on rest, relax and not feel rushed. Most hotels and
guarantee a beach view and a donut for breakfast but what they can not assure you of is peace and
quiet. Anytime there are over 200 rooms that are occupied you know there will be noise. Guests can
be loud simply by taking the elevator up or getting a soda, you hear doors slamming and talking all
night long. You can always count on house keeping showing up usually around ten and the front desk
calling to be sure you check out by eleven. You simply can not relax when you have to worry about
deadlines and noise at night.
The solution to a happy relaxing vacation is this, a vacation rental home. A vacation rental home
provides many things a hotel can not. You are able to prepare all of your own meals, which will save
some money since you are not eating out. You know your sleep will not be disturbed from other
guests, house keeping will not beat down your door early in the morning and you may come and go as
you please. This makes your vacation much less stressful. You are able to spend quality time with
your family and have more meaningful candid moments together. You can enjoy ocean views and relax
feeling no pressure to go anywhere or do anything quickly. Best of all, if you have a large group or
others who want to tag along, a vacation home can be very inexpensive if you split the cost.
Regardless of your price range, you should be able to find something within your budget and criteria
for a vacation home. Some beach front vacation homes are around $100.00 per night and can range up
to $250.00 a night. The benefits of a vacation home far out weigh those of a hotel, this much is
clear. Paying a little extra money might be worth it if it means you will have more time and less
pressure while spending time with the ones you love the most. Do your research and decide for
yourself, but remember people don't often say they went to a hotel and had a fabulous, relaxing
time, but they do say that about a vacation home.
