Bungalow vacation rentals in Orange County

Our #1 favorite place we’ve stayed in Cali. We’ve been here several times to visit our sons who live here. We have stayed in 7-8 different places between Culver City and Newport Beach over the years and there’s no place else we’d rather stay. The bungalows are cozy and comfortable, on a quiet street, and when it’s not a good beach day, the patio is perfect! We walked everywhere with our two dogs. The Strand and dining are just a short stroll away. Alexis is a meticulous and super friendly host, and thought of everything! The bed is super comfortable, the fire pit was awesome, the kitchen was well stocked, and Alexis’ only focus was making sure we were taking it easy and relaxing and not worrying about a thing. The complimentary slippers were a nice touch too. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had an awesome stay at the Crafstman Retreat. The house was so fun and beautifully decorated. The kids loved the carnival themed room and the backyard was calming. The area felt very safe and private. Parking on the driveway was ideal and something hard to find in Long Beach. We loved the fully stocked coffee bar (complete with our favorite San Francisco Bay coffee pods!). The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and we felt very much at home. The beds were very comfortable. We loved staying here, thank you!!

This is a great little spot with exceptional location. Close to all the shops and restaurants as well as the beach. A cozy and comfortable bungalow with everything you could need. The bikes and all the beach equipment are a great touch.

Enjoyed our stay! We were in town for a wedding and looking for a place in town that had some space. This place met our needs in every way. We were greeted by a bottle of wine when we arrived which was a nice touch. Bed seemed very new. While driveway is extremely narrow as others mentioned, street parking was easy enough for our rental minivan. Would come back if I’m ever in San Clemente again!

We had a fantastic experience staying at Paul’s home. From start to finish, Paul was an exceptional host; responsive, helpful, and incredibly thoughtful. He offered great local recommendations for our family around Huntington Beach, and when we had a last-minute schedule change, he handled it with empathy and flexibility. Paul was gracious in every way, and it’s clear he takes pride in providing a welcoming and respectful experience for his guests. I would gladly stay at any of Paul’s properties again and recommend them without hesitation. He’s a host of true integrity.

The Speakeasy Cottage was fantastic. Part of our trip this year was Disneyland, and this Cottage is themed as good as any imagineer! It looks and feels great, and has a perfect location. It’s just 50 yards from the water’s edge, and it is down at the quiet end of the island. If you want to take the ferry over to Newport Beach, the Catalina Flyer, or the ocean, it’s just two blocks away. Well stocked; it had everything we needed and more. Fair warning - it is a 1.5 bath house with a shower outside. We were here in March and it was a little cold for the outside shower. Our family of three fit perfectly and enjoyed every minute. If you’re going to Balboa Island - stay here!

Doug's place is so adorable! It's in a great location and walking distance to all restaurants/amenities in Corona Del Mar. There were three of us, my husband and I stayed in the one bedroom and our friend stayed in the room with the murphy bed. We loved having coffee and chatting in the mornings. The only bummer was that there was dew in the mornings, so the patio furniture was wet and we couldn't sit on it and enjoy our morning coffee on the patio - which is great! Splitting the cost to stay at Dougs was cheaper than any hotel we looked at for two rooms. It's a great option, and it's like your own home away from home. Not to mention free parking in the back as well as in front on the street. We will definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking for a good central location near the beach in the Orange County area.

I absolutely adored Adelle’s cottage! It’s a darling space, I felt like I was cozy in a friend’s home. The bed was sooo comfortable, and all of the amenities were perfect. Adelle‘s communication and responsiveness was top-notch, very professional and friendly… It was obvious how much she cares about her family home. I will look forward to staying here again someday!

Had a great stay. A tranquil little gem tucked away from the street and foot traffic. I was looking for a little quiet retreat, and was able to book with an hour notice. Clean, comfortable and calm. It was perfect.
