We didn’t always love monthly minimums. Our original bread and butter was the summer week-long family trip with full days of sand, sun, nature, and our beloved North County culture.
But then we realized that monthly minimums offer the best of both worlds. You get to feel at home, and on vacation. You don’t have to choose.
September and October are our favorite months: the natural beauty is summer on steroids, but there are way fewer crowds and way more dog-friendly beach hours. We’ve just added last-minute discounts to Seaview Cottage and Zuni Delight, so book direct for the very best prices and the very best getaway.
Here are our monthly minimum favorites and insider tips, always written by our 100% California-based, 100% human team. No AI writing or recommendations, all high design and high passion.
- Find your perfect mix of repetition and novelty
Find your favorite stands at the farmer’s market, stroll the beach with routine and intention, maybe even sign your kid up for a summer camp. Join weekly bike rides, ask Brenda for recommendations on the best Yoga Six classes. Revisit that gem you just found. Feel at home when you want to.
You get to really feel on vacation, too. There’s still that time-bound incentive to really enjoy it. When you want to feel adventurous, try Temecula for olive oil, downtown San Diego, the world famous Zoo. Take the train to LA, riding along the coast the whole time: you can have breakfast in Solana Beach, and then Japantown sushi by lunch. Or just work your way up and down North County’s amazing trails - Have pals or family drop in for a long weekend — perhaps with a private photo shoot, pilates, or on-site chef
Your friends and family can drop in for the weekend: maybe it’s the adult kids and grand kids one weekend, or your own favorite pal the next. These serve as wonderful multigenerational and multiparty bases, and you don’t have to pick whether to have a quiet sweet vacation or a big social one because there’s plenty of time for both.
We have facilitated dozens of photography sessions with Georgia Gregory photography, especially as Georgia is our hospitality lead! She can bring you to the best beaches for golden hour time. It’s playful, meaningful, and a lot more fun than a typical photoshoot. In as little as 45 minutes she can both capture beautiful moments and help you connect with your group or yourself.
We are launching a new collaboration with Alaina Henderson, our nights and weekends guest specialist and a veteran pilates instructor. Her on-site private mat classes are rigorous, thoughtful, and uniquely adaptable to your goals and interests.
We also work with area private chefs, and are happy to facilitate introductions. Or—in the name of lean savvy local living—just throw some Cardiff Crack Steak on the grill from Seaside Market, supplement it with some salad and bread from the farmer’s markets, and ask Brenda for her husband’s favorite wine shops. - We can help with mid-stay cleans
After your friends leave, or just when you’re tired of making your bed, our deeply trusted and talented cleaning staff can refresh your place on whatever cadence you like. Our Director of Operations has been with us since day one and she has built an amazing crew, culture, and ethos of cleanliness and beauty. We have, essentially, no turnover. So our only requirement is treating our cleaning crews with utmost respect, and therefore you’ll get that sparkling cleaner-than-a-hotel feel with all the comforts of a BeachHaus home. - Feel good, more deeply
Ocean air, fresh food, a chance to really set habits and systems and deeply restore. We build luxurious sustainability into every step of our properties: low chemicals, low fragrance, natural cooling and cross-breezes, refreshed landscaping. A long weekend’s great, but after a month here you’ll feel deeply restored.
Let us know how we can help. We pride ourselves on fast responses between 7 am and 10 PM Pacific, and love connecting with anyone interested in our beloved North County San Diego.
