Our second stay at California Dreaming, and it’s still the perfect place for our girls’ getaway

California Dreaming was everything we hoped for and more! The location is outstanding, with incredible beach views and a balcony we could have enjoyed forever. This was a much-needed getaway for our family, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The home has everything you need—we stayed for three days and never felt the need to leave. The layout is perfect for spending time together while giving everyone plenty of privacy in their own rooms. The kitchen is well stocked, the water pressure is excellent, and the couch is incredibly comfortable. We loved having games to play in the evenings, too. An amazing property from start to finish. A solid 10 out of 10! I wouldn’t change a thing—except to book a longer stay next time.
