Good Locations for an Airbnb in California

[Leilani L.]

Hi all! I'm researching STR options for my first investment, and I'm wondering what areas of California are prosperous for Airbnbs? I know Joshua Tree is booming, but I'm wondering if I've missed that wave? I'm interested in an area maybe near a Natl Park/touristy area/town, but not really into a city situation (feels like the competition and prices are too high in cities in Ca and I'm not really a city girl turns out lol). Anyone out there invest in STR in California other than Joshua Tree and have success? Thanks everyone!
