Experience the Nirvana of California

"The Golden State." What an appropriate name for California, where golden sunlight filters through the towering branches of redwood trees and glints off the Pacific surf. Where miles of golden sand beaches stretch along the shore. Where you can still find reflections of Hollywood's golden age and the Golden Gate Bridge. If you plan a trip here, you first have to decide what kind of California vacation you want: mountain, beach, desert, or lively, sparkling city. The easiest decision, though, will be where to look for California lodging: at Rentalo.com. We have the best selection of California vacation rentals throughout the state.

Maybe you'll choose from our California hotels and California condos along the Pacific shoreline for a delightful beach vacation filled with fabulous weather, loads of activities and a relaxed, fun atmosphere. In southern California, very little rainfall and year-round warm temperatures that rarely rise above 90 degrees Fahrenheit mean you can savor your time here no matter when you travel. Your only problem will be fitting in all you might want to do on your California vacation at the beach. You might want to try your hand at surfing, snorkeling or sailing. Maybe you prefer spending your time on the sand, enjoying the sights and sounds of the rolling waves, letting the sun warm your face, and occasionally rousing yourself for a game of volleyball. Many beaches boast trails along the oceanfront, where you can take advantage of the glorious views and fresh ocean breezes as you walk, jog, skate or bike here.

Perhaps your California vacation will be in the mountains. Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year. It is well worth the trip. You can venture into the National Park for incredible vistas. The cliffs, waterfalls, steep mountains and deep lakes in this area were all formed over millions of years by earthquakes, glaciers and other forces of nature. The resulting brilliance almost makes it seem as if Mother Nature is showing off. One of the most famous sights is the granite face of El Capitan, which juts 3000 feet into the clear blue skies. During your time in Yosemite, keep an eye out for adventurous rock climbers scaling its massive heights. You won't want to miss the spectacular waterfalls which drop hundreds of feet, including the famous Bridal Veil falls and Yosemite Falls. Your excursion may also take you by giant sequoias, mountain lakes and grand meadows. One of the first wilderness parks established as a National Park in the United States, this stretch of wilderness high in the Sierra Nevadas will leave you in awe of its beauty. And you can be a part of it by staying in one of our California vacation rentals tucked away in this amazing part of the country.

Other mountain areas offer extraordinary skiing opportunities. If you plan your California vacation in the wintertime, you'll be thrilled with the outdoor winter activities. You can cross-country ski through various parks and recreation areas, or downhill ski or snowboard at resorts covering a vast array of terrain for skiers of all abilities. And the mild winter weather will keep you outside day after day. Perhaps you'll choose from California vacation condo rentals or other California lodging right by the slopes.
The state's spectacular cities hold their own allure, and each has a distinct personality. Up in San Francisco, you'll find a fascinating mix of architecture and people, and you can visit the Golden Gate Bridge, more than 65 museums, and ride the cable cars. If you stay in one of our California hotels in Los Angeles, you can spend your time in outdoor pursuits like surfing, golf, or rock climbing, or visit famous spots like Hollywood and Disneyland. Down in San Diego, you can visit the famed San Diego zoo, home of the giant pandas. You may choose California lodging near the Hillcrest area, filled with vintage shops and quirky buys. Or you can choose one of our California vacation rentals in the downtown area, which is located on San Diego Bay, where you can check out some of the seventy miles of beaches.

No matter what type of personality you'd like your California vacation to take, your time will be golden if you make the smart first move by arranging your California lodging through Rentalo.com.
