    Top 10 West Coast Winter Weekend Getaways

    You've been killing it all winter, closing deal after deal. And while you're eying two weeks in Italy this summer, you've got to get away and celebrate. Here are 10 great spots to escape for a long weekend.

    1. Maui

    1. Maui

    Best Place to Stay: The Four Seasons, 3900 Wailea Alanui Dr

    Hottest Restaurant: Gerard's Restuarant

    Why Here: The wait list for this hotel can get long, but it's a one-of-a-kind getaway. And like any tropical hub, you can get into all the outdoor stuff Maui has to offer, including scuba diving and zip lining. Plenty of oppurtunities to catch up with some jetset real estate moguls.

    2. Santa Barbara

    2. Santa Barbara

    Best Place to Stay: Canary Hotel, 31 W. Carrillo

    Hottest Restaurant: St. Clair Brown Winery

    Why Here: Santa Barbara is calm and cool, but there is certainly stuff to do at night. Check out Eos Lounge in the city's downtown, which is just a few steps from State St. It's a good spot for cocktails or dancing.

    3. Napa

    3. Napa

    Best Place to Stay: The Carneros Inn, 4048 Sonoma Highway

    Hottest Restaurant: St. Clair Brown Winery

    Why Here: There are few places in California that are more relaxing than Napa. Get yourself some good wine, get a massage and recuperate from the stressors of a real estate life.

    4. Carlsbad

    4. Carlsbad

    Accommodations: OMNI La Costa Resort and Spa, 2100 Costa Del Mar Road

    Hottest Restaurant: West Steak and Seafood

    Why Here: In the same vein as Napa, this isn't the place to go clubbing. Not far from San Diego, where you can get some more nightlifte, Carlsbad is a seaside town where troubles can wash away. There's a killer beach, good restaurants, and if you're more daring, balloon rides.

    5. Oahu

    5. Oahu

    Best Place to Stay: Turtle Bay Resort, 57-091 Kamehameha Hwy

    Hottest Restaurant: Azure

    Why Here: You may not even leave the hotel, which just got a $45M reno, upping the game of this already-stellar spot on Oahu's fabled North Shore, where lavishly furnished beach cottages and oceanfront villas overlook Kuilima Cove. And there are plenty of celebs hanging out.

    6. Ensenada

    6. Ensenada

    Best Place to Stay: Encuentro Guadalupe, 22750 Ensenada, Mexico

    Hottest Restaurant: Le Pinche Frances

    Why Here: There is a ton to do in Enseneda, including its share of nightlife. Be aware of the cavalcades of cruisers, who will flood Papas & Beer nightly.

    7. Bodega Bay

    7. Bodega Bay

    Best Place to Stay: Bodega Bay Lodge, 103 CA-1

    8. Dana Point

    Best Place to Stay: The St. Regis Monarch Beach, One Monarch Beach Resort

    9. Cabo San Lucas

    Best Place to Stay: Capella Pedregal, Av Camino del Mar 1

    Hottest Restaurant: La Roca
