Big Sur Campground and Cabins is offering accommodations in Big Sur. This 3-star campground offers a mini-market. I just loved the wood cabin surrounded by giant redwoods. The cabin was so well equipped and so comfortable. Tubing (free tube rental) was such fun. Great to have individual fire pits and outdoor seating. We struggled to light the firewood so maybe some extra fire-lighting supplies would be useful

Coastal Hideaway in Carlsbad provides adults-only accommodations with a garden and barbecue facilities. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are available at the homestay free of charge. I booked this property on a whim without much research and so was incredibly surprised at how nice it was! The host (Janie) was incredibly communicative and gave clear check in instructions. Parking in front of their house was very easy. The property is incredibly clean and well equipped - they provided bottles of water, dressing robes etc. which was a lovely touch. The bed was very cosy and I slept like a log for those three days! Yoghurt, granola and fruit is provided for breakfast which was perfect, as well as access to their lovely back patio. Janie herself is also a delight - I was lucky to have a long chat with her and learn a little bit about her life and the area! Would definitely recommend if you want a quiet, safe and peaceful stay (important as a female solo traveller), close to but outside the hustle and bustle of San Diego.

The recently renovated ViewPoint Suites features accommodations with outdoor swimming pool and fitness center in the heart of Los Angeles. It was very clean and comfortable! We enjoyed having the gym and hot tub. Mike was very responsive and helpful. The self check-in process was very easy. It was nice to have a parking spot, too!

Catalina Courtyard Suites offers accommodations in Avalon. A 9-minute walk from Descanso Beach, the bed and breakfast features a garden and a terrace. We had a room tucked off the courtyard down in the corner, very private and quiet. The courtyard was so inviting with the beautiful plants and fire pit. We loved the proximity to the frontage of Catalina and easy walking distance to shops and dining.

Featuring free WiFi, The Squibb House and The Black Barn are 2 bed and breakfasts which offer accommodations in Cambria. Free private parking is available on site. The hotel is more like a relaxing place in a quiet village than a business hotel in a commercial centre. It has definitely retained a serene setting coming from days past. Very lovely place to visit. Breakfast was simple but good. Good restaurants were also within close walking distance.
