Vacation Beach House Rentals: Southern California Style

Vacation beach house rentals are part of the latest trend in travel shopping. Privately owned two, three, or four bedroom fully furnished homes are being made available to travelers to rent by the day, week, or month at very reasonable prices. Vacation beach house rentals in Southern California today offer space, luxuries, and a level of security that motel chains can't begin to offer at these same sensible prices.

California beach house rentals lodging ideas:

If travelers would like to rent a motel room along the shoreline in Southern California, be aware that many of these tiny oceanfront communities zoned their shorelines long ago as residential property. Motel rooms also come with hidden costs: staff tips, restaurant fees, storage fees, and sometimes extra parking fees. Vacation beach house rentals on the other hand, come located beside the sand and do not have any of these extra costs involved.

Pets: Many vacation beach house rentals in Southern California will allow visitors to bring their pets. This allows a cost savings on boarding fees. An example of this type of home can be found on a Balboa Island beach that has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a two car locking garage, washer/dryer, newer appliances in kitchen, kitchen equipment, bar-b-que on deck, wireless internet, and plenty of room for 8 people plus your pet to sleep. Cost: 2,200 per week. That's what a motel would charge for 2 bedrooms without a pet.

Honeymoon: An example of a vacation beach house rental in Southern California that is suitable for a honeymoon would be a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that is only about 500 yards from the sand. A newer home with cathedral ceilings, leaded glass windows, locking garage, tiled Roman Jacuzzi, electric fireplace, televisions, internet, washer/dryer with free soap, and a host of other amenities. Cost: 1900.00 per week in Sunset Beach. Vacation beach house rentals in Southern California are nicer than motels.

Groups: San Diego has a six bedroom home with pool and Jacuzzi near the sand that will sleep 22 people for just 750.00 per night. For about 35.00 each, you can have this large luxury home and free rentals of child care items, fishing items, beach toys and gear. The kitchen is fully loaded and ready to cook dinner in, the furnishings are lovely, there are lots of televisions - some big, free long distance phone calls, and so much more. This is a perfect place for the next family reunion, and Aunt Tilley can even bring her poodle!

Singles: Some vacation beach house rentals are perfect for singles, or a couple on a budget. Southern California Venice Beach is located for easy access into all of the downtown Los Angeles attractions. Venice has a fully furnished, newly built, little backhouse for rent at just 650.00 a week which is less than motel lodging for this desirable area. This vacation beach house has a bedroom, bathroom, washer/dryer area, living room area and a patio.

Luxury: Marina Del Rey is a luxury vacation beach house rentals area, and everything you find in Marina Del Rey is going to be nice. A typical example of a rental house includes 4 levels of home just a few steps from the beach; 4 bedrooms, luxury furniture and architecture, 3 car garage, bicycles, pool table room, wet bar, 400sq. ft. deck with tropical garden, and just a few more steps to the beach. Rentals along these lines will run between 4,000 and 7,000 per week, which is still a bargain when you consider that 12 people can split this cost.
