Raucous Oregon Coast View in Lincoln City or Depoe Bay Spotlighted in May

(Lincoln City, Oregon) – Few things are as monumental as a lodging with a view on the Oregon coast. Snagging an oceanfront or the top of a cliff along these shores can be quite a score, and if you're also getting an outdoor hot tub in the mix it's a sweet – very sweet - deal. So fire.

As May starts ramping up towards the busy season, prices are going up too. Yet a few deals can still be found, though most end a week prior to Memorial Day Weekend. Among those with wowing oceanfront spots and a few deals include Lincoln City and Depoe Bay. Keystone Vacation Rentals has the good stuff in both towns, and it's hosting a few specials during the month, running until May 16. There's around $20 off per night, depending on the home. It's already taken off the list price when you book.

Oceanfront Vista is one of the rentals part of the special for May, and it's part of a condo complex in Lincoln City. You are definitely right above it all and not far from the NW 15th St. access and its wild little tidepools. When storms arrive, this also means an eyeful as those rocks create more of a barrier for the crazed wave action than simple sands. You get a bigger wallop.

However, this time of year it's prime territory for watching whales.

The place sleeps four and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and there's even elevator access - providing more accessibility. You'll find a large living room, a master suite, and then there's that incredible balcony with the private hot tub. You get good doses of ocean air here as well as sights and sounds.

Bedroom windows also look out onto the surf and all its moods. There's a big TV in one of them.

A fully-stocked gourmet kitchen is at your fingertips at the Oceanfront Vista, plus you have access to the heated pool and game room at the Pacific Winds condo. (503) 443-1414. Keystone Vacation Rentals

Dancing Dolphins is another central Oregon coast gem under the spotlight, and the Lincoln City charmer also hosts four and has two bedrooms. There's a balcony as well, and that features a hot tub out in those ocean breezes.

In dramatic Depoe Bay, there's hardly a dull moment. There's enough basalt shelf here that even if it's not raging surf it's close to that.

Right up against all this raucousness are two of Keystone Vacation Rentals' prime properties under this special, including the Ebb Tide condo unit and the decidedly old school vacation rental known as Snuggle Inn (which is actually two units in one).

At Ebb Tide, it's a condo that's oceanfront floor level – you're literally in front of all that crazed surf goodness. It's a luxury and thoroughly modern 2-bedroom spot that takes four people. You open the door and there's a small stretch of lawn between you and the rocky black shapes the jut out into the Pacific, daring the ocean to smack it. It's a sizable rental, with a large living room looking out onto this watery world.

A gas fireplace lets you dig into these sights with lots of atmosphere, and it's exquisitely furnished with marble tabletops and an enormous comfy couch. Ebb Tide comes with a huge HD TV, Blu Ray DVD player, a lot of puzzles and books, and then the kitchen looks out onto the expansive view as well. There's the jetted bath in the bathroom and the second bedroom has a queen bed. You also get access to the clubhouse, which has a pool, fitness center and 19-seat theater room.

Also a part of this is the unique Snuggle Inn, a clever moniker for a Depoe Bay lodging that goes well beyond that cutesy title with its vibrant amenities and soaring qualities. Snuggle Inn comes in a somewhat older-looking package with its exterior, a kind of old-school Oregon coast vibe with a touch of '70s historic. Yet inside – where there's Snuggle Inn Second Floor and Snuggle Inn Top Floor, it's thoroughly modern and gleaming..See Snuggle Inn Top Floor - See Snuggle Inn Bottom Floor
