Americans have always been determined to blaze new trails, whether wading through the waist-deep layer of tumbleweed covering Arizona or hacking through the petrified forest of national flags on the moon. Conquer the final frontier, the ocean, with today’s Groupon: for $110, you get a one-night stay for up to four guests in a 1,300-square-foot deluxe beachfront condo at Cavalier Beachfront Condominiums in Gleneden Beach (up to a $219 value).
The individually owned and decorated units at Cavalier Beachfront Condominiums feature hotel amenities, including daily housekeeping and WiFi, and offer spectacular views of the central Oregon coastline. Each spacious condo accommodates a quartet of travelers in two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open living area with a wood-burning fireplace that provides winter warmth and one-act plays starring fire. Guests can prepare homemade meals in fully equipped kitchens or on the facility’s shared propane barbecues; alternatively, they can dine out at nearby restaurants, such as Kyllo’s Seafood or the Side Door Café.
An indoor heated pool and two saunas beckon chilled guests, warming up muscles for inverted games of pool and ping-pong in the recreation room. The homey quarters boast proximity to whale watching, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and a number of challenging golf courses. Cavalier Beachfront Condominiums’ units are not handicap accessible.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Seeds
Seeds are tiny wooden eggs laid by plants in warm, moist soil where they hatch into the next generation of baby plants. What do you need to know in order to survive in the high-stakes world of seeds?
• Pumpkin seeds can be roasted over an open fire to make a delicious Halloween curse upon your enemies—usually temporary blindness or the “mittening” of their hands.
• Fluffy dandelion seeds aloft on the breeze are the most frequent cause of bunny sneezes. It might be cute for you, but do you think the bunny wants to sneeze?
• The Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway preserves seeds of countless different species in the event of global catastrophe or as a repository of cheap snacks to smuggle into the movies in a Ziploc bag.
• Acorns are more than a seed for a mighty oak—they are a blank canvas on which to draw a tiny beatnik who already comes with his own beret. Sell these at your local farmers' market in order to no longer have any financial worries, ever.
