The country meets the sea in this laid-back, picturesque surf town. Shell Beach is halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles on California's Central Coast, which makes it the perfect stop for some wine tasting and outdoor adventure.

Per guests requests, I made few upgrades — new windows, space heaters in every room and a dishwasher to boot!
