Need to take a vacation but don’t want to spend a fortune? An Oregon Coast getaway doesn’t have to be a huge expense. With a little bit of planning, it’s totally possible to take a trip to the coast on a modest budget.
Lodging is one of the biggest expenses of any vacation, and according to Hopper’s Consumer Travel Index, U.S. hotel rates averaged over $200 per night in 2023 and that’s before taxes and those ever-growing fees are tacked on at the end.
Here’s a list of the best bargain Oregon Coast hotels we found under $200 per night to help you plan your next beach vacation without blowing your budget.

👍 Rating: 10/10 A Bayfront Experience with a Walking Trail, Fishing Boats and a Great Restaurant Nearby “We loved the seaside design of the room, with driftwood paneling and related decor. The bed was super comfy, important for my husband’s bad back. The large room had a separate area with a counter, coffee maker and fridge that made it easy to keep breakfast and snacks on hand. We were pleasantly surprised with a walkway next to a tidal area of the bay with a view of a pier and the bay. We liked walking across to the harbor to watch the fishing boats. Portofino’s restaurant was a short walk, great food and waiter, very convenient and recommended. Overall, a great catch!
