Rooms Still Available for Big Weekend on Oregon Coast

(Oregon Coast) - At this late hour, little is to be found in lodging on the Oregon coast anymore. Many lodgings report being booked up solid already a month ahead of time; some three or five months ago. If you haven't already made your reservation for your lodging, you may be sleeping on the beach.

But not all is lost, intrepid tourist, as BeachConnection.net discovered some availability. These rooms or vacation homes were available as of Thursday, June 29 - so that could have changed by the time you read this.

Seaside

Lincoln City Vacation Homes There’s something for everyone among this selection of wondrous homes: smaller homes with a view to a large house that sleeps 15. All the homes are either oceanfront or just a few steps away from the sand – all with a low bank access and fantastic views. Most are in the Nelscott area; one is close to the casino. You’ll find a variety of goodies, depending on the home: fireplaces, multiple bedrooms, dishwashers, Jacuzzis, washer/dryers, hot tubs, cable TV, VCR, barbecues; there’s a loft in one, and another sprawling home has two apartments. Pets are allowed in some homes – ask ahead. Each comes with complete kitchens so you’ll have a home away from home. Most have the seventh night free.
