The chances are you’re seeing ‘workcations’ filling up your news feed! It’s the latest buzzword that is shaping the post-Covid-19 era of remote working, as many businesses make a permanent transition to a remote workforce and employees go in search of the ultimate work-life balance. New data from Airbnb shows that property reviews mentioning ‘remote working’ or ‘working remotely’ have tripled since last year!

As the entire world learns to move to the beat of a different drum amidst a global pandemic, we’re loving this new travel trend, but what exactly is a workcation?

‘Workcation’ is defined as “a working vacation, where you go to an exotic location and complete specific tasks or accomplish a goal before you leave”. It’s the silver lining of the changing workspace where we’re seeing an emphasis on a healthy work-life balance, combining work with a healthy lifestyle, and being able to take a vacation from the workplace, (which for many is a small space within their home right now), but not the work. 

Workcations are a source of creativity! A simple change of scenery and stepping away from your environment and the daily grind fosters free-thinking and increased productivity. A chance to lower your stress levels, recharge your batteries, and restore some equilibrium to life. Immersed in nature, no distractions, no honey-do lists … yet all the comforts of home, luxurious amenities, and new inspiring activities to discover in your downtime.

You can’t beat the 180-degree ocean views from this 3 bedroom luxury vacation rental. Whether it’s home-schooling at the dining table, catching up on emails from your private ocean-facing deck (you have a choice of 2!), or having a corporate meeting from the privacy of the master suite, Blue Horizon has an ocean view from every workspace. A prime location less than a mile from town and the beach … and you can bring your pooch!

Rancho del Mar – Arch Cape

This exceptional 4 bedroom home offers both space and privacy and is an all-time favorite when it comes to family-friendly Oregon Coast vacation homes. If you’re traveling with the kids, don’t pass this one by, they get their own nautical themed retreat with a playroom and workstations that make learning fun! With impressive ocean views, a gorgeous outdoor fire pit, and amazing lifestyle amenities, Rancho del Mar is a winner for a stress-free workcation. 

Chapman Cove – Cannon Beach

For the ultimate work-life balance, this is it! Chapman Cove is a hop, skip and jump from the sandy beach, perfect for a quick pick me up between Zoom meetings! This stunning 4 bedroom oceanfront home has space for the whole family to set up their work gear with a large dining table and extensive reading library and workspace. And, if it all gets too stressful … a long beach walk followed by a private sauna and long bubbling soak is the perfect downtime.

When you want to be REALLY remote, Santo Cristo offers the finest in space, privacy, and home comforts with high-end flair and luxurious amenities. This 5 bedroom home is newly renovated and perfectly appointed for large groups with dedicated workspaces and a 12 seater table for gathering! Remote and off the beaten path (with great WiFi!), this quiet retreat is a top pick for a workcation away from the city!

With the ongoing need for social distancing and Covid-19 related travel regulations, travelers are opting for drive-to markets you can reach on a tank of fuel, scenic landscapes, and the privacy, space, lifestyle, and easy social distancing that a traditional hotel room fails to provide. A workcation provides an opportunity to create a seamless work environment, blending work, and vacation into one! With the evolution of the virtual office, we do believe the workcation is here to stay!
