"Absolutely perfect location to get away for the weekend. It was so peaceful and we saw osprey and deer in the back yard. You have access to a dock which is fantastic at night to see the stars. The house has everything you could need. They have 2 kayaks we intended to use but ran out of time. The best part was sitting outside at night with a fire. Would absolutely stay again! "

What’s a holiday rental in California like?

Holiday rentals are private properties where you can stay for a few weeks, or just a few days, in California. Holiday rentals offer extras such as laundry facilities and kitchens so you'll have a home away from home. If you're concerned about a clean environment, holiday rentals can provide a sense of seclusion away from shared hotel lifts and busy lobbies while still allowing you the experience of travel. You'll also find more space in a holiday rental than in a traditional hotel, which makes a holiday rental a great option for a small group gathering.
