Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.

Convenient OC home base, near Irvine Spectrum Center and Laguna Beach.

Rooms take ya back to the romantic Victorian era (without forgoing mod cons like oversized marble showers, WiFi + gas fireplaces).

Dreamy location, perched right on a bluff overlooking sand and surf.

Basic neutral palette rocks the occasional bold blue accent wall or a pop of sunny yellow just to keep things interesting.

Coastal style aplenty, ocean views, tech-y app-controlled lighting/temperature and massive flat screens in every room.

Revamped property transformed from motel to Cali-casual digs.

Complimentary breakfast kick-starts both your metabolism and your day.

Perfect beach-goer practicality right on the PCH. Capitalize on a Cappy's breakfast with a TidePoole's sandwich for lunch, both are flip-flop distance.

The vibe is sleek and chic yet warm and welcoming.

A 10-ish-min drive to the Irvine Spectrum Center, home to a dizzying number of dining options, shops, and even a Ferris wheel.

Low-key home base, perfect for a road trip stopover or beach town getaway. (San Onofre = one of the world’s most epic surf spots.)

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

Pop into the Panini Lounge for Happy Hour (5pm-7pm) or to catch the game on 55" HDTVs.

Perfectly situated within walking distance of shops, eats and the sands.

Originally opened as ‘The Airporter’ (for obvious reasons) way back in 1969. And still going strong today.

On the house loaner beach amenities, from towels to toys.

Hotel pool hits the spot when you need to cool off or swim it out.

Cliffside locale means stunning scenery, and the beach & harbor are walkable (free cardio on the way back!).

Located within walking distance of Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor.

History buffs will heart the proximity to the Mission San Juan Capistrano ruins (walking distance!).

Palm trees and pool: that’s all we need. Got ’em.

Those cookies though.

Playful design mixes casual surfing-themed art with upscale touches.

Leisure-chic style’s trendy without being in-your-face about it.

Unbeatable location just steps from Treasure Island Beach and Goff Cove makes it easy to unwind.

Hey hey, free breakfast every day.

24/7 BridgeMart has your back when you forget supplies and want to enjoy the full kitchen.

In the heart of Seal Beach, a short walk to Main Street and the water.
