$$$$, North Coast
Fodor's Review:
Celebrities and other bigwigs frequent this luxury residential resort, but with privacy paramount and security tight, you'll never get anyone to say whom you might see. All the rentals have a maid and private pool. (DSL lines are available.) Examples include No. 2, a lavish, four-bedroom, oceanfront villa on the cliffs, and two new villas, No. 77 and No. 129, both so perfectly appointed that they are ideal oceanfront retreats. Particularly sophisticated, No. 77 has a romantic gazebo, a home cinema, and flat-screen TVs in all the rooms. An older four-bedroom home (No. 97) with a cascade at its pool, and intricate tile and stonework, has character and charisma. Various packages are available. Overlooking a cove, the beach club has an international restaurant and offers deliveries to villas. This is often referred to as a thoroughbred community -- and not just because of its international equestrian center.
