Pool Panoramas at Elizabeth Street Inn
Have you seen the view from the Elizabeth Street Inn’s indoor pool? Swim or relax in the Jacuzzi while gazing at the majestic Pacific Ocean. Elizabeth Street Inn, 232 SW Elizabeth Street in Newport, (877) 265-9400.
On the Prom at The Seaside Oceanfront Inn
The Seaside Oceanfront Inn’s cozy lobby reminds us of a comfortable living room. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine from Maggie’s on the Prom (at the Inn), and sit by the fireplace or watch the waves roll in through the large picture windows. Seaside Oceanfront Inn, 581 South Prom in Seaside, (800) 772-7766.
Readers Retreat at Sylvia Beach Hotel
Curl up in a window nook with a view of the ocean or in a comfy chair in the library and read (or write) a chapter or two. Sylvia Beach Hotel in Newport has defined itself as a reader’s and writer’s retreat. Rooms are named for, and decor is inspired by, famous authors. What room will you choose? Sylvia Beach Hotel, 267 NW Cliff in Newport, (541) 265-5428.
A Great Room in Lincoln City
We love the great room at Oregon Beach Vacations’ Pine Lodge in Lincoln City. It’s spacious and cozy at the same time with its vaulted open-beam ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, lots of seating and a wide open kitchen for great conversations while you cook. What a fantastic space for a group get-together or family reunion! Oregon Beach Vacations, www.oregonbeachvacations.com, (800) 723-2383.
