Surfhouse Boutique Hotel

This unique boutique hotel in Encinitas, California gives you the ultimate laidback SoCal lifestyle experience. It offers individually designed beach-inspired rooms, surf lessons, beachside yoga classes, and free beach cruiser bikes you can ride around the surrounding neighborhood. It’s conveniently located next to a plethora of coffee shops, delicious restaurants, and bars. The best part is that Surfhouse is only a 5-minute walk or less to a beautiful cliffside and beach, so you’re sure to get some breathtaking sunset views.

Pelican Cove Inn

If you’re looking for a bed and breakfast experience, the Pelican Cove Inn in Carlsbad, CA should be your first stop. The family-owned Inn consists of 10 uniquely designed, vintage style rooms that are cozy and quaint yet spacious and comfortable. The Pelican Inn is only a few blocks from the beach and the Carlsbad Village where you’ll find boutique shops and restaurants. The best part, however, is the welcoming owner and host, Nancy, who personally makes breakfast for her guests each morning.

Surfrider Hotel Malibu

Exclusivity and relaxation are what you’ll get when you stay at the Surfrider Hotel in Malibu. The sought-after California beach house is made up of 20 rooms located right on the beautiful and secluded beaches of Malibu, which is clearly embodied in the boho decor of the rooms. The amenities of the Surfrider are unbeatable – complimentary mini coopers, a rooftop deck, and heated outdoor showers? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Pacific Beach is basically the party epicenter of San Diego. So if you’re looking for a bit of fun along your coastal trip, reserve a room at Tower23 Hotel.

  5. I’ve been surfing online more than three hours
    today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
