Taking a vacation is a time when you can get some well earned rest, relaxation and spend quality time with your loved ones. When deciding to go on vacation there are many things to consider, such as where you want to go, how long and most importantly where you want to stay. Oregon has unlimited options for vacation sites such as Mt Hood, Bend, Sunriver and the beach just to name a few. Deciding where to go is easy but deciding on where to stay and for how long is a whole other matter.

The logical place to stay is in a hotel. Why not, they are usually easy to find, centrally located and almost always have vacancy. 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 money.

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.

So let’s look at what that hefty price tag will get you. Most hotels offer a continental breakfast which let’s be honest usually leaves something to be desired. Most continental breakfasts offer muffins, bagels and other pastries along with coffee and juice. Now let’s be realistic, most people are going to be hungry shortly after eating, this is just not enough to keep someone satisfied. So what do you do, you go out to eat and get some real breakfast like bacon, eggs, waffles and pancakes. So by staying in a hotel you might think you are saving money on food but really you are not.

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.
