Dream Beach Houses

I’m so excited to have Brooke Wise of StyleWise over on the blog today. She’s dishing on fabulous beach homes, and she has me swooning over more than one. 

It has always been a dream of mine to have a beautiful vacation home on the beach. There is no better vacation to me than a beach vacation. I have always imagined a home somewhere in California where the sun is always shining and the temperature hovers perfectly around 70.

How does one choose which part of California they will own a dream beach home? Will it be somewhere in Southern California like La Jolla, Laguna, Newport or will it be a little further north somewhere like Santa Barbara or Carmel By The Sea?

As I have been researching where to take our “Babymoon” I have been swooning over images of vacation rentals and beautiful hotels on the coast.  I think we have decided to go to Carmel, which I couldn’t be more excited about!

Let’s take a look at some of the dreamiest “humble” abodes on the coastlines of California.
