Vacation Rental Homes-R & R

by Sara Mendez

Oregon has unlimited options for a vacation site so picking one should be easy. You can go to Sunriver, Bend, Portland or the beach just to name a few. The hardest part about picking a destination is deciding how long you want to be there and where you want to stay. Spending time with your loved ones should be exciting and full of happy memories. You should not have anxiety and frustration in them what so ever. So pick your destination and time carefully but most of all pick a good place to sleep!

Most people decide to stay in a hotel, they are easy to find and usually located in central locations. For instance, staying at Lincoln City, a popular vacation site at the Oregon Beach, there are many hotels to choose from. Some offer ocean views, beach access or breakfasts. But as a smart consumer you should consider what you are getting for your hard earned dollar.

On reason people go to the beach is so they can look at the beach. So one thing that draws people to a specific hotel are the ocean views or beach access. After researching hotel prices in Lincoln City, a popular beach destination, I found that a hotel with a beach from or ocean view can run anywhere from $80.00 a night up to $200.00 a night. Even if you decide you do not need a beach front or ocean view room, hotels can still range from $50.00 to $100.00 a night. Everyone has different criteria, but I think we can all agree that a hotel needs to be within your selected price range and have some of your wants such as a beach view.

Let’s look at what we get for the price. Most hotels try to lure you by offering continental breakfast. Some people think they will save money by having a continental breakfast, unfortunately this is not always the case. Typically a continental breakfast offers donuts, pastries, coffee or juice. Now I don’t know about you but this is not enough breakfast for me. When I am on vacation I want pancakes, waffles, bagels and many options for drinks. If you eat the continental breakfast most likely you will be hungry quickly and you will need to buy more food.

Other hotels offer clean quite rooms. If you have ever stayed in a hotel, you know that house keeping usually comes around nine in the morning. When I am on vacation I want to sleep in a little and relax. Sure my room might be clean but I have to get up early and rush out before they come. Not to mention the check out time is usually eleven in the morning which means I need to be up no later than eight if I want to not be woken up by house keeping and check out on time. This is not relaxing to me. Quiet rooms, now when ever I stay in a hotel, there are always people running around the halls at all hours of the day and night, slamming doors, yelling and usually I can hear the TV from the room next door.

So right about now I am sure you are questioning where you are going to stay. So where is your solution, vacation rental homes. The first thing that pops into your mind is money I am sure. Don’t write them off just yet and stay in a hotel. At Lincoln City there is a vacation home to fit all budgets. Most homes run from around $100.00 to $250.00 a night depending on your wants and needs. Vacation homes are the best kept secret in vacationing. Sure they might be a little more than you bargained for but the benefits far out weigh the extra money. You can bring your own groceries and cook in the comfort of your own home so if you want pancakes you can have pancakes! No more strange muffins and weak coffee. Usually the homes in Lincoln City have ocean views and the beach is only a short walk if not right in back yard. There are no annoying people next door with a loud TV and no children running the hall ways. House keeping simply comes when they see you have gone. Assuring you will all have a nice quiet sleep in a clean home.

A vacation home might cost you a few extra bucks but in the long run it is worth every penny. You don’t have to worry about so many things that, spending the extra money just makes sense. You need to decide what is most important to you, is it saving a few extra dollars or is it spending a peaceful, relaxing vacation with your family, the choice is yours but hurry your sanctuary awaits.
