I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.

To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Southern California is a vacation destination for many reasons, from the nearly year-round great weather to charming beach towns to our famous attractions.

Balconies enjoy courtyard, pool, woods, or Downtown Disney views. Some have outdoor fireplaces for beautiful evenings watching the theme park lights come up. Many balconies also have great views of the park’s fireworks show.
There are three pools on site - the Fountain, Redwood, and Mariposa. Go for a swim, get some sun on plush poolside lounges, or soak away stress in a whirlpool hot tub. Children love the pool’s tree and waterslides.
Two of the pools offer private cabanas where you can unwind and spend the day in a stylish, shaded oasis. Cabana rentals come with luxury seating, an LCD television, a ceiling fan, a mini-fridge with complimentary bottled water, towel service, and a complimentary fruit platter.
Up to six guests are able to enjoy each cabana, and servers are available for food and drink orders throughout the day.
In addition to the grandeur and amenities of the Grand Californian, guests are able to take advantage of convenient proximity to the California Adventure theme park. Perks also include special access and early entry to both theme parks.
Tenaya Stone Spa is a full-service spa where travelers can relax, rejuvenate, and indulge in luxurious facial and body treatments, massages, steam rooms, and salon services.
A tranquil relaxation room with soothing music, light refreshments, and the sound of babbling water extends the benefits of treatments. Luxury amenities are among the many reasons that this is considered one of the best hotels in Southern California.
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa offers wonderful amenities and luxury and is great for the entire family. Have you ever stayed at this hotel in Anaheim, CA?
