Oregon Coast Lodging Report for Week of Aug. 25 and Labor Day

Newport

(Oregon Coast) – It’s a jungle out there on the Oregon coast in late summer, with lodgings big and small sucked up in no time by beach-hungry and sleepy travelers who’ve actually made their reservations well ahead of time. For those last minute visitors, however, BeachConnection.net may have become your coastal guardian angel.

Like every Friday, BC posts lodging availability for the weekend and weekdays, but this time we’ve included some openings for Labor Day weekend as well, as most lodgings are currently already booked up for that weekend.

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. Prices range from winter $85 to summer $230 per night. www.getaway2thecoast.com. 541-994-8778.
