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!

Travelfluential Dream Daycation

"This summer we vowed not only to go to the beach - but to make it special."

Well, there's no place like the Bungalows at Pacific Edge Hotel to make a day at the beach SUPER SPECIAL. Travelfluential blogger Angela (also known as Momfluential and Latinafluential) took her daughters and son on a "daycation" to Pacific Edge Hotel.  As expected, they had a blast "watching the tide, soaking up the sun, and relaxing in a chic beachfront day suite."

While her Teenfluentials (see a pattern here) found the beachfront Bungalows to be a chic "mini-paradise," her son made new friends in the sand while Mom relaxed with cocktails! An oceanfront lunch by The Deck brought the family together to share in a delicious meal during their Laguna Beach daycation.

It's a dream that we can DAYCATION year-round in California. Join us any day in the Bungalows! Reserve online or call for availability - 949.281.5711.

"Daycation" Stay with Let's Play OC

There's no question that the Pacific Edge Hotel is the ultimate beachfront spot to DAYCATION! If that's a new word in your book, there's no need to look it up. Our favorite bloggers covered their day-stays in our Beach Bungalows for a bit of fun-in-the-sun!

Let's Play OC had a lovely afternoon hanging in both the Gorjana & Griffin and the Sailor Jerry Bungalows, which are available from 11am-8pm daily (based on availability). The Deck served up a tasty tray of meats & cheese and provided lunch to our guests on the patio so they could take in the fresh ocean air with the best view of the Pacific Coast. Of course, Let's Play OC had to take advantage of the beach access and our hospitality team set them up with chairs, umbrellas and towels in the sand. 

This is what a DAYCATION is all about -- living it up like it's a vacation, all in a day's work!
