Citrus Cottage in Old Town Orange near Chapman U & Disneyland
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (25)
"Christina & Daniel are the perfect hosts! Their beautiful cottage sits behind their home in a quiet neighborhood blocks from the circle. The cottage was cozy, clean & wonderfully stocked with more than what we needed for our weekend stay. Keurig, water, breakfast bars, hairdryer, nice linens & bedding, books, puzzles, etc. We slept well & enjoyed our morning coffee while looking out at their peaceful backyard. We honestly could not have asked for anything more! Looking forward to our next stay....

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (29)
"The house is located in excellent proximity to highway, grocery, beach, dining, etc. The neighborhood is very peaceful (we sat out every night in the backyard and rarely heard any sounds at all!). The kitchen has a TON of equipment if you are keen to cook any of your own meals. Beds were comfortable, fold out sofa was fine (fold out sofas are what they are). Dining table is amazing and was the central hub for our stay. Wifi works great, parking is easy. Driveway is steep, but we were able to...

A California Dream Escape
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"We recently stayed at this charming spot and overall, it was a great experience! While the place has an older vibe, it’s incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a cozy home away from home. The outdoor setting is truly a highlight—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. The only downside was the lack of a few essential kitchen supplies, which made cooking a bit tricky at times. If they could address that, it would elevate the stay even more. However, I would definitely recommend this...
