Hi Alex! Finding Airbnb or VRBO vacation rentals in Oregon can be tricky, especially along the coast. The prices go up during the peak travel seasons. And you’ll find higher prices for rentals close to the beach or the attractions in the area. If you don’t mind a bit of a drive to get to those things, then expand your search farther away from the main tourist areas. Our biggest tip for vacation rentals is to read the reviews and comments. AND we now only book rentals that allow full cancellations a few weeks prior to the trip because you never know anymore, right!? We’re finding there aren’t many “cheap” areas in Oregon anymore, so find the location and amenities that work best for your family and just enjoy the trip!

I wanted to know if you could suggest which towns to stay in airbnbs. I have been looking at some expensive options but I don’t know if staying in a town a bit less known would be a better and cheaper option.

I am traveling with my 4 kids (13, 12 , 10 and 4!) and my wife.

Thank you for your help!
