There's only one pier in California with accommodations built over the ocean-right on the pier! Crystal Pier Hotel in San Diego's Pacific Beach features tidy, white cabins known for their blue roofs with matching trim-and restful sleep. With approx. 25 stand alone cottages and much demand to experience this hotel, suggested booking times for a winter vacation range between 4 and 6 months, and summer bookings are secured up to 8 months ahead.

The public can walk on a portion of the pier or fish there during the day but at night time, the gates are closed, allowing lodgers quiet time with only the sound of the waves crashing against the pier for an experience like no other.

Other unique accommodations in California include a water tower house you can rent in Seal Beach, an African tent in a jungles of Santa Rosa, and haunted places ranging from the Historic Cary House in Placerville to the Bella Maggiore Inn in Ventura. Vacations don't have to be ‘just OK' when California has so many extraordinary places to stay.
