- Doggy Day Care: Arroyo Burro Beach
- Hawaii Calls: Mondos
- Hide and Seek: El Matador State Beach
- Million Dollar Baby: Carbon Beach East
- Family Matters: Avenue 26
- Game On: Hermosa Beach
- Lone Ranger: Ocean Trails, Trump National Golf Club
- Windy City: Cabrillo Beach
- Rustic Retreat: Crystal Cove State Park
- Fireside Chat: Montage Laguna Beach
