Boogie boards, beach towels and chairs, an umbrella, beach blankets, tote bags, and a cooler are all available to you, so no need to bring anything. After a day out, come back to this Airbnb to fire up the grill, catch the sunset on the ocean view terrace, then soak it all away in the private hot tub. From this little paradise, you can walk to the famous Windansea Beach, see sea lions, kayak the cove, and more.

We never even make it to the big local attractions, beyond the Birch Aquarium at Scripps. La Jolla is one of my family’s favorite low-key getaways. Windansea Woods Bungalow by the Sea in La Jolla But once you’re here, in addition to the delights of sleeping in a floating cabin, families can enjoy fishing, boating, playgrounds, walking trails, and birdwatching the hundreds of bird species on the property. It’s a little more rustic and you’ll need to bring your own linens (or sleeping bags), pillows, and towels. While you can rent dockside cabins, the real treat is the three cabins that float right on the water on one of the lakes. The 190‐acre park has seven beautiful recycled water lakes. The Floating Cabins at Santee Lake in SanteeĬabins sleep 3-5, floating cabins sleep 4. If you’re coming with a bigger group, or want Grandma and Grandpa (or older teens) to have their own space, the owners also have a vintage trailer on the property for rent. If you want to get out and explore the area, the ranch is just 15 miles from Oceanside Beach and 20 miles from Temecula Wine Country (and hot air balloon rides). The animals on the ranch LOVE attention and the hosts are avid bicyclists and happy to set you up with some great bike routes. This 4-acre animal ranch hosts a menagerie of friendly animals, which makes this getaway great for kids.
