Cupcakes & Cutlery Day at the Beach

Who doesn't LOVE a day at the Beach? Cupcakes & Cutlery joined us for a "daycation" to take in the Pacific Edge Hotel experience! 

Here's what Sharon had to say about the photo above: "This rad view is what you will see off your private patio in front of your private bungalow. What is a bungalow exactly? It’s like your own private living room only a few feet from the ocean!"  - We love this quote! The bungalows are exactly that! 

Cupcakes & Cutlery took some amazing photos during their stay! We can tell Sharon and her kids had a wonderful time enjoying the Pacific Coast and the luxury amenities that PEH offers to our Bungalow guests.

In just one day - you can feel like a VIP. Sharon mentioned that although they live only 20 miles away from the beach, it can be hard to schlep all your stuff to the beach with kids - which is the burden PEH takes away! We have everything you need for a daycation right here on site and the staff to take care of your every need! 

We can't thank Sharon and her darling boys enough for sharing their "daycation" with us! Make sure you check out Cupcakes & Cutlery and follow them on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram.

Popsicle Blog at the Bungalows

The Popsicle Bloggers took a bite out of the Bungalows!! Jill Parkin, the mom behind Popsicle Blog - Sandy Toes and Popsicles brought her three boys for a daycation at the Pacific Edge Hotel. Clearly these guys had a blast - hanging out in our Bungalows, dining on The Deck and enjoying fun in the sun on the beach! 

Jill, who's spent time at PEH before, took in this new experience of the Bungalow life and got to rest and relax in our stylized beachfront Bungalows - which gives guests a home base to enjoy the beach with VIP service and attendants taking care of your every "daycation" need. 

Thanks so much to Jill and her boys for spending the day with us! Follow Jill and her kids on their adventures in Southern California via social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram.

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!  

Connect with Let's Play OC online and via social media: facebook, twitter, instagram & pinterest.

BUNGALOW SPOTLIGHT: SAILOR JERRY

"Bold simplicity is the keynote to good design."

- Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins - 1970

The Bungalow life at Pacific Edge Hotel continues with our latest design by California Native Erin King to celebrate the Sailor Jerry brand!

While we’re sure your familiar with the spirit, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, this Bungalow celebrates the life and style of Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, father of the old-school tattoo. Back in the 1920s, when most Americans were chasing the American Dream, Collins sought a life of freedom and wanderlust and left home to travel the country, hitchhiking and train hopping. It was during these adventures that Norman took to his craft and began working the needle and ink to create designs freehand…one poke at a time. After meeting and working with famed-artist Gib “Tatts” Thomas in Chicago and joining the Navy where he developed his lifelong love for ships, Collins settled in Honolulu and built his legacy tattooing sailors, inevitably becoming, “Sailor Jerry.” 

Designer Erin King was inspired by the freedom and individuality of old-school beach, tiki and surf culture as a way of life, including surfboards, motorcycles, hot rods, tattoos, guitars, and beach bbqs. And since Jerry tattooed in Hawaii when tiki culture became huge, she made this Bungalow a tiki lodge – bringing island past into the beach present.

Of course the Bungalow style is retro-beach chic and includes a 1960s pinball machine, art that pays homage to the Sailor Jerry aesthetic and a tiki bar to craft cocktails with the famous spiced-rum! Ahoy mateys!
