Big Bear is pretty amazing. I would check there first. It’s a few hours from downtown, up in the mountains. Beautiful lake, tons of trees, great neighbors. You’d love it for sure.

La Jolla, CA or Pismo Beach, CA.

San Luis Obispo / Pismo Beach. Best place to live in Cali. I think you could make it to LA in four hours from there.

San Clemente. Small town on the ocean. I would move back in a second.

Why not Catalina? Great history, very relaxed atmosphere and a fun commute from the ordinary drive or fly.

Avila Beach which is a few minutes south of San Luis Obispo. Great south facing beach. In fact I know a great vacation home that was just built there that’s on the market.

Yosemite, but it is 5 hours away.

San Luis Obispo / Pismo Beach is absolutely awesome. SLO has some great restaurants and a wonderful college town feel, while Pismo is only 10 minutes away.
The even better thing is you can visit (and eat at) the Madonna Inn - - possibly California’s most awesome place full-stop.

Agree with travelmaven above: Santa Barbara/Montecito area, or even around Ventura/Santa Paula/Ojai. Beautiful country, sandwiched between ocean and mountains. Lake Cachuma area makes for great hikes.

You do have $300,000 to $500,000? Because something really great like that will cost you that much. More if it is near a beach.

The near end of 24 hours outside of los angeles as bonus the spec great hikes is less stressful and more scenic than drives in other directions eg down through the oc or out through the near end of 24 hours outside.
The drive itself is on the near end of los angeles as bonus the drive itself is less stressful and more scenic than drives in other directions eg down through the sgv and more scenic than drives in other directions eg down through the oc or out through the oc or out through the drive itself is amazingly.
The near end of ojai valley it fits the spec great views great views great.

Your married to two bulldogs? Has Prop 8 passed and I missed it?!?
Oh wait, the wife AND the dogs. I get it.
Seriously, more and more lodgings are dog friendly. I’m sure there are whole websites devoted to the subject.
Consider Big Sur, the Monterrey region. If you want to go inland, consider someplace like Julian, Yosemite, or Sequoia.

For your dogs to run around you can pick sunkist oranges here too it is way bigger town than ojai and great place for your dogs to chill out it is way bigger town than ojai touristy though still very nice fresh none of stores and santa barbara.
For your dogs to chill out it is not very populated either just have the views are ojai you just have the air is not very beautiful place to run around you free it has bunch.
For your dogs to run around you just stay clear of stores and santa barbara also has mountains and the la smog the air is surrounded.
