California beach vacation
rentals are so incredibly easy to
find that all you need do is be looking for a
real, full-time place to live and get hit with
the hundreds of ads for California beach
vacation rentals, instead. It is maddening for
a desperate person in transition, but for one
who is looking for actual weekend fling space,
it is Valhalla in disguise.
So, how do you find these California beach
vacation rentals with little effort and even
fewer lies? Go to Craigslist and look in the
HOUSING section. See? That’s pretty deceptive a
category, for most of us would interpret it to
mean places to “house” yourself for longer than
a dip in the sea. Anyway, type in a minimum and
maximum dollar amount, say 100.00 to
300.00.
Here is an example of what you will be made
privy to, year round (I am doing this in
August, so the offerings are going to be either
plentiful (with no one taking up California
beach vacation rentals because they are
strapped—because of the damned war—or with very
few options because most are all taken, in use
right now, having been advertised MONTHS
ago…say in February):
In
Cedar Pines there is a large one-bedroom loft
that sleeps six, for $125 a night. The ad says
staying here is like “roughing it” in a
five-star resort. Hmmm. I’m thinking woods, a
sleeping bag, a knife, and a first aid kit, but
evidently, it’s a sprawling cabin deal with
appliances, electricity, lights, gas cooking
and heating, etc.. Whatever floats your
summertime boat….
In
Santa Cruz there are places like the “mid-week
special”, a bed and breakfast inn deal for $165
a day—which is right on (or a few yards away
from) the Santa Cruz Beach
Boardwalk.
Emeryville touts a
$225 special, a fully furnished condo on the
bay, with double bunk beds and views and local
sites that make this a contender in the
California beach vacation rentals market
despite its price…for it is for the upcoming
Labor Day, when it for many it is well worth a
grand to get away.
And, of course, there is Tahoe, with
everything from Incline Village prestige to
West Shore (North Tahoe) remodeled and rustic
cabin play.
Much further south you can of course find
California beach vacation rentals that run from
$200 a night for a Mammoth Lake condo to the
7900! On the ocean Malibu spread.
So hey, what’s your weekend sanity
worth!?
