For the most part we enjoyed our stay in SoCal, but there are a few things to note with this property: - 2 bath rooms not enough for house of this size and supporting more than 6 guests - excessive amounts of “security” cameras and felt being watch, as towels were set out on upper deck overnight to dry and by 9am, had text regarding HOA violation - instructions were to take trash cans to street Monday night, for Tuesday morning pick up and by time we got back from beach 8p - they were already moved to street and then put back after emptied, the next day. This again felt like invasion of privacy and someone / neighbor being too involved in watching over the property. - lastly the 2 hrs we requested for heating the hot tub (6p-8p), only worked 1 of the 3 nights family sat at pool. We enjoyed SoCal trip and we visit annually, not sure I would pick this property again.

Wonderful communication, gorgeous and comfortable home in a lovely location. Nice spa and home amenities. Perfect home and large enough for our group of seven. It was a great week we spent there and everyone had a great time. I would rate the home, host, and area a 10/10! Hope to stay there again in the future.

House was centrally located to restaurants and stores. Entry to the house was without issue. Beds were comfortable. House was roomy enough for 4 adults. Spacious back yard and pool and jacuzzi. Clarissa that managed the property was very responsive. Remote control /tv responded with delay. Could have been due to WiFi speed. I would stay there again

Nature, Culture, and Endless Fun Await at Your California Vacation House

From beautiful beaches to thriving metropolises, snowy mountains to redwood forests and expansive deserts, California offers something for everyone. Stay in a beach house in Southern California where the ocean is your backyard, or pick a luxurious home in Palm Springs with your very own pool. How about a quirky apartment in the heart of San Francisco or a stunning view of the mountains from your window in Lake Tahoe?

What are the best activities for families in California?

Traveling with Children in California

If you are traveling with children, keeping them entertained will be easy due to the endless number of family-friendly attractions. Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Knott's Berry Farm are some of the popular theme parks in California. There are also many aquariums and zoos, including Monterey Bay Aquarium and San Diego Zoo.

San Francisco's interactive museums are great for inquisitive young learners, and if they love the great outdoors, take them to witness the wonders of Yosemite National Park. Lake Tahoe also offers activities all year-round, from hiking and water sports in summer to skiing in winter.

What are the best places to discover the arts and culture of California?

California’s Art and Culture

There is a wide acceptance of diversity in California and a love of innovative ideas. This is, after all, the birthplace of the 60s hippie movement, home to Hollywood, as well as some of the greatest artists in the world. So if art is what you're looking for, base yourself in Southern California where you'll find all sorts of wonderful outdoor art.

Located in the middle of the desert, Salvation Mountain is an art oasis by local resident Leonard Knight. Made entirely of adobe, straw, clay, and half a million gallons of paint, its combines religious scriptures with colorful flowers, trees, the sun, and birds.

Or check out the Integratron, a dome built in the 50s by George Van Tassel, a self-proclaimed UFO abductee who claims that the planet Venus's inhabitants gave him the instructions to build the structure. Supposedly capable of rejuvenation due to its magnetic fields, it proves that nothing is too eccentric for California.

Did you know that California has more national parks, historical sites, and monuments than any other state in the US?

The Yosemite National Park is known for its awe-inspiring, plunging waterfalls. Named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, it has huge granite cliffs, dramatic valleys, and unforgettable nature. All on a gigantic space of 1,100 square miles! It’s no wonder that over 4 million visitors flock here each year. Meanwhile, the Joshua Tree National Park enthralls with its freaky-yet-cool-looking trees that dot the land. Catch glorious sunsets over the grand desert rock formations.

Wine lovers can savor the experience of the Napa and Sonoma wine countries, with their more than 600 wineries. Besides a world-class culinary scene, Napa is known for its meticulously cultivated grapes, which produce wines that rival French produce. Enjoy tasting the wines while feasting your eyes on rolling hills, beautiful plains, and endless vineyards. The agricultural diversity of the fertile land remains one of Sonoma’s greatest prides—and rightfully so. Enjoy it all from the comfort of your California vacation house.
