Five Affordable Seaside Hideaways

Newport Bayside Inn, Newport, Rhode Island

Stay close to the attractions but far enough away for some peace and quiet (and views of Narragansett Bay) at the Newport Bayside Inn. This Dutch Colonial B&B, centrally located in historic and nautically inspired Newport, Rhode Island, has several specials to make a getaway more attainable. For example, you can save up to 25 percent on midweek stays, Sundays through Thursdays. If you can only get away on weekends, you can still save by tacking on an extra night or two.

Ocean Point Inn & Spa, Arch Cape, Oregon

If your idea of a seaside getaway includes bonfires on the beach, head to the Oregon Coast. The Ocean Point Inn located in Arch Cape near famous Cannon Beach has all the cozy fixings and more. Find deep relaxation with a massage either at the onsite spa or in the privacy of your suite. Even better, those suites are on sale. Save up to 20 percent at the last minute with no minimum stay requirement. Plus, if you stay midweek from October 10 through December 22, you get 50 percent off your second night or your third night for free.

Glendeven Inn, Mendocino, California

A serene and romantic Mendocino B&B by the sea is an amazing proposition indeed. But what puts the Glendeven Inn over the top is that it's truly a farmstead, set on eight acres of meadow with, yes, grazing llamas. The property, considered a distinguished inn in North America by Select Registry also gives nod to its wine country locale by offering local wines by the glass at its Wine Bar[n]. All of this comes at a good price, too. For stays through July 31, you can receive up to 30 percent off the room rate, depending on how many nights you stay. The inn also offers a slew of packages and last-minute room discounts, often up to 20 percent off.

Amenities include complementary wine and hors d'oeuvres every evening, free yoga classes, and three-course, in-room breakfast with the inn's own farm eggs. Glendeven has mostly 5s on Trip Advisor.

Windward House, Camden, Maine

A list of seaside escapes wouldn't be right without an option in coastal Maine, complete with a captain's house and Windjammer sail. Built in 1856 by Elijah Glover, a sea captain and ship builder, the historic Greek revival Windward House has been updated to ensure the comfort of visitors exploring Camden and its surroundings, which include mountain and ocean views, rocky shores, a beach, and a marvelous small-town harbor. Current packages include a four-night stay for a family of four in the Crows Nest Suite, which comes with lodging, breakfast, trail maps, kayak rentals, and tickets to a guided schooner tour on Penobscot Bay for $1,330 (or $332.50 per person).
