Lifetime Private Rentals

Pricey but worth every penny, these four gorgeous self-contained stone-and-timber houses dot the hillsides above beautiful Snelling Beach (actually, they're not that pricey if there's a few of you: from $600 for six people in three bedrooms). Expect decks, big windows, quirky artworks and knock-out views. Food-and-accommodation packages also available, including dining under the ancient Enchanted Fig Tree.
