CALIFORNIA - Now that Labor Day is behind us, it's a long stretch until the next work holiday. But who needs time off when your own home has a resort-like yard? If you're looking for a place that feels like a vacation every day try San Rafael, Moraga, Novato, Murrieta, San Mateo County, Napa, Gilroy, Ladera Ranch, San Clemente, Toluca Lake, and unbelievable, over-the-top Beverly Hills.

How would you like to live in the redwood trees - or have a weekend place there? There are currently two homes available - in Mill Valley and Santa Cruz.

A California Wow House overview wouldn't be complete without beach homes. Check out the mansions in Laguna Beach, Redondo Beach and San Clemente.
