Home to world-class cities like Los Angeles<\/a> (the country\u2019s second-most populous city) and San Diego<\/a> (eighth on that list), sunny Southern California \u2014 otherwise known as SoCal \u2014 is an enormously bustling go-to destination. And for good reasons. Among the popular attractions and hidden gems in Southern California, you\u2019ll find fabulous beaches galore in addition to unbelievably warm weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides their SoCal settings, you may notice a theme for several of these hidden gems — you can book them through Peerspace<\/a>! That’s right, fall in love with any (or all) of these venues and you’re just a couple of clicks away from booking it by the hour for a photoshoot all your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you imagine, this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what Peerspace<\/a> has available in Southern California, so look around and see what spaces speak to you the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This El Cajon estate<\/a> is a magical hidden gem in every sense of the word! Above all, what sets apart this standout among hidden gems in Southern California is its view. When you\u2019re standing on its oversized deck, you\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019re perched in a treehouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can gaze out at the city lights of El Cajon, which is close to San Diego, to your heart’s content. But in addition to the view, this space is also decorated in a unique yet classically SoCal fashion, with lots of beautiful earth tones and wood that perfectly complement the natural surroundings. If you\u2019re wondering how to find Airbnb-style party venues like this in San Diego<\/a>, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of amazing views, this funky Casa Blanca stunner<\/a> in Joshua Tree has them in spades. It’s a custom-built home perched above boulders and a cacti garden for gorgeous mountain, boulder, and valley views as far as the eyes can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This six-bedroom mansion was professionally designed and managed by Fieldtrip and is an exclusive property that’s also pet-friendly. While it is jaw-dropping gorgeous indoors, the exterior design doesn’t hurt either. Take a soak in the outdoor pool and Jacuzzi and relax by the firepit under a blanket of stars at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
