Oceanview Escape - Depoe Bay, OR

When you come to the Oregon Coast, stay in this cozy Lincoln Beach home with ocean views and enjoy a fun-filled and relaxing escape from the daily grind. With room for your large family, group, or multiple-couple getaway, this vacation rental offers all the comforts of home with beach access a few houses away and nearby in-town conveniences.

Located just a short walk from the sand and water, you'll be able to take a break and head out for a seaside stroll anytime. Depoe Bay proper is less than four miles to the south and Lincoln City is only nine miles to the north. This neighborhood is quiet and the beach is secluded, and you'll have a grocery store right across the highway for easy supply runs.

The interior of this home is clean, open, and modern. Relax in the living room for a cable or movie binge with the flatscreen TV and DVD/VCR players. In the cooler months, get warm with the gas fireplace and a steaming cup of hot cocoa. In the summer, hang out on one of the decks while you take in views of the Pacific Ocean and listen to some music with the iPod dock. And the free WiFi will help you locate local restaurants and attractions so you can plan your itinerary.

The well-equipped kitchen makes preparing delicious meals and cleaning up afterward easy with plenty of cabinet and storage space, as well as standard appliances including a dishwasher. There's room for you all to eat together in the dining area at the table for eight and the adjacent breakfast bar with seating for three. The two west-facing decks are a prime location for enjoying barbecues thanks to the gas grill, while you listen to the sound of the waves and breathe in the salty sea air. The east-facing deck is great for morning coffee.

Up to 10 guests (eight comfortably) can stay in this four-bedroom, two-bath rental. The master has a queen-size bed and a wicker chaise for those moments when you want some alone time to read or nap, as well as an en suite bath. The other three bedrooms have a queen, a full, and two twins. There's also a washer and dryer in this home, allowing you to pack light for your travels.

In the evenings, you can slip off and watch movies in the cozy den area or play board games or a rousing game of air hockey. There's a third TV in the basement so the children can enjoy their own time away from the adults. During the day, you can wander down to the beach to do some combing and snap some photos. Or head just six miles north to Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge Area to view birds and waterfowl. Take a kayak or canoe out on the bay and make your way through the refuge's watery channels for an even closer look at wildlife.

If you're in the mood for some in-town activity, go just three miles farther north to Lincoln City for gallery browsing, shopping, and dining. The Lincoln City Mall, just nine miles away, offers plenty of shopping options. Maybe do a little gaming at Chinook Winds Casino, then get away from it all and take a hike on one of the many trails in the area. Or head south to Depoe Bay for whale watching, then Fogarty Creek State Park for a picnic. Closer to home, Gleneden Beach has a few restaurants and shops to check out.

When you come to Lincoln Beach and make this vacation rental your home base, you're sure to leave with happy memories of your time spent with loved ones. Book it today, and get ready for your next tranquil Oregon Coast retreat.
