Day 1: Getting Settled
At Your Renter’s Club Rental

Our rentals are full of comfortable furnishings, cozy beds, and more that will keep you completely relaxed throughout your stay. A fully equipped kitchen means you won’t miss a meal, and lovely outdoor spaces allow you to spend time in the comfortable year-round Thousand Oaks weather.
Dining Arrangements
It’s always relaxing to know where and when you’ll be enjoying each meal of your vacation. You’ll likely make use of the fully equipped kitchen in your rental to prepare some meals, but sometimes there’s nothing more relaxing than going out and letting someone else take care of the cooking and serving. Thousand Oaks and the surrounding area has a myriad of restaurants serving up every meal of the day, and cuisines including delicious seafood, authentic Mexican dishes, Italian fare, Asian, steakhouses, bar & grill fare, Brazilian, and more.
Sightseeing Tours
See the sights of Thousand Oaks and the surrounding area and let someone else do the driving. There are a variety of companies that offer guided tours of some of Thousand Oaks’ best landmarks, parks, and attractions. They’ll even take you further afield to places like Hollywood, Malibu, and more. Depending on the tour, you can spend just a couple hours, or even the whole day getting to know the town you’ve decided to call home for a while.
Day 2: Entertainment Options
Beaches
The beaches of Malibu, Santa Monica, and other oceanfront cities near Thousand Oaks are the perfect day trip. Once you’re there, all you have to do is spread out your beach blanket and relax. Almost all the beaches and beachfront parks offer services like restrooms, picnic areas, BBQ grills, and more. Splash in the waves of the Pacific, go fishing, or find your spot to just lay out in the sun.

The Gardens of the World
There’s nothing more relaxing than a stroll through a serene garden. These beautiful botanical gardens cover hundreds of acres in Thousand Oaks.
