One of the most popular visitor destinations in California is the central coast area between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Guests of California vacation rentals can take a scenic drive along the dramatic Big Sur coastline, visit charming towns such as Monterey, Carmel and Santa Barbara, or relax on the beach in Ventura. Don't miss a tour of the Hearst Castle in San Simeon.

Visitors staying in California High Sierra vacation rentals can explore the natural wonders of Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. Guests of Lake Tahoe vacation rentals can take a scenic ride on the Gondola, which transports visitors 2.4 miles up the mountain for skiing, hiking and incredible views.

Make a Sonoma or Napa Valley vacation rental your home base for exploring this beautiful area and sampling the fantastic wines of the region.

Guests of San Francisco vacation rentals can ride a cable car, visit the Golden Gate Bridge, stroll through Chinatown, enjoy seafood at Fisherman's Wharf, and take a boat to Alcatraz Island.

Guests of Los Angeles vacation rentals can marvel at the prehistoric creatures in the La Brea Tar Pits, ride the 1922 carousel on the Santa Monica Pier, tour a movie studio, or take a trolley tour of Beverly Hills. Catalina Island is a great spot for water sports and shopping, and the Venice Beach Boardwalk offers fun for all ages.

Orange County is a great family vacation destination in California, with Disneyland and other theme parks and lots of great beaches such as Surfside Beach and Crystal Cove State Park.

While you are searching for California beach rentals, consider some coastal options like Los Angeles rentals, San Francisco apartment rentals, Santa Barbara rentals, or San Diego beach rentals. Other California areas include Big Bear Lake cabin rentals and Lake Tahoe vacation rentals.
