My wife and I wii spend about a week on the Oregon coast in mid-February. We're looking for a rental with a direct ocean view --nothing between us and the beach. We're educators, and would consider something around 100--225$ a night. We would love it if you have suggestions to share.

Do you have a general idea where you would like to be on the coast or are you talking about anywhere on the Oregon coast?

We love Cannon Beach. Our favorite hotel is the Surfsand resort. Ocean front rooms may be available!

For the view - perched on a cliff overlooing the ocean at Depoe Bay (south of Lincoln City) - it's hard to beat the Surfrider resort. It's a fairly modest place - but again - the view is amazing and some times during the year - you can see the whales from your room.

Can't bring up their webpage right now - but check out these pics; https://plus.google.com/114484447652729044199/photos

Another vote for the Surfsand in Cannon Beach. We have been going there for years and love it. Very nice hotel with a great location. The rooms that are ocean front have views right out to Haystack Rock. They have a special going right now for through about March or so for rooms starting at $89/night, which is a steal!
