Getting Outdoors
Sunset State Beach is made up of glorious stretches of golden sands followed by rolling dunes. If you have a fishing license, one of the most popular activities is throwing out a line and trying to catch perch and sardines. In the dunes, there is a remote-control glider port where enthusiasts come and send their creations into the air. Even if you don't have one yourself, watching the model crafts flying above the beach can be great fun.

We have rented a lot of vans to adventure out west and this was by far our favorite experience to date. Anthony gave an indepth guide to all the features of the van prior to departure. As it is an older van, it does have a smaller gas tank as to be expected so plan gas stop accordingly. We camped with our infant and had space for a bassinet. Even with lows in the 40s the van was warm without an additional heat source with just sleeping bags. The head space with the pop up and additional bed were awesome as we had some rain and were able to have additional space to stay out of the elements. Plus Chewie is just such an awesome fan and experience if you never experienced a VW camper van.

I recently rented an RV for my trip, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic! The vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a smooth and enjoyable journey. Driving it was surprisingly easy, and all the features from the kitchen setup to the sleeping arrangements made the trip feel both adventurous and cozy.

I had a fantastic experience renting the Winnebago van from David for a trip to Yosemite. I rented it as a birthday gift for my 4-year-old son, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. David was very accommodating and took the time to show us how to use all the features, which was especially helpful as first-timers. A lovely surprise was when he delivered the van with a birthday balloon for our son—such a thoughtful gesture! He also was punctual with both delivery and pickup, making the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend renting from David for a seamless and enjoyable adventure!
