A Weekend in Laguna Beach

Ashley Brooke Nicholas joined fellow bloggers Mash Elle and Diary of a Debutante on their west coast "girls weekend" trip from Florida - while all were in town for the GenBeauty Conference in LA. However, the Pacific Edge Hotel was definitely their DESTINATION! 

As Ashley states on her blog, "The Pacific Edge Hotel has a relaxed, beachy vibe the screams California cool. Our room's orange walls, driftwood headboards and surf-inspired photography provided the perfect background for a weekend getaway to the beach. As much as I love the design of the hotel, nothing beats an uninterrupted view of Laguna Beach."  

All three gals were very impressed with Driftwood Kitchen..and we can't say we blame them! Ashley states, "The view from Driftwood Kitchen is my idea of heaven, and their food and decor are FLAWLESS." 

Once again, PEH was honored to have these three lovely bloggers enjoy our property in Laguna Beach! Thank you Ashley for your fabulous post on Pacific Edge Hotel and Driftwood Kitchen! We hope you join us again soon!

Carrie Bradshaw Lied Takes a "Staycation"

Carrie Bradshaw may be a household name but life and style blogger Kathleen Barnes from Carrie Bradshaw Lied takes a more realistic approach to living the good life!

Kathleen and her husband Christian escaped to the Pacific Edge Hotel for what we locals love to call a STAYCATION!

"Usually when we travel...we spend so much time researching the area - from extracurricular activities to restaurants, beaches, hikes and so on. With a STAYCATION, you don't have to worry about any of that - you know the area, and instead get to see your town as an outsider. Honestly - it's so much fun!" 

During their stay, Kathleen loved sleeping to the sound of the waves crashing, as she describes is "what dreams are made of." Her hubby especially enjoyed taking in the surf only a few steps away every morning and collectively dining at the Driftwood Kitchen (which has recently been nominated as "Best Restaurant of the Year" by the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce.) 

"The hotel embodies the California vibe, blending surf and beach cottage...the whole weekend has me thinking I need a little condo on the beach. Dreamy!" 

And while we think Kathleen's photos from her stay are "dreamy" -- we can all agree that Pacific Edge Hotel is the perfect spot to getaway from your everyday life and enjoy a "staycation" at the beach!
