How to Plan the Perfect Getaway in Orange County

Did you know that Orange County is the No. 4 golf destination in California? Our championship courses offer challenging gameplay and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Due to the mild weather on the Southern California coast, golf season lasts all year round! It’s no wonder why golfers come from near and far to play at Orange County’s most popular golf courses.  

Three of our favorite courses include Pelican Hill Golf Course, Back Bay Golf Course, and Newport Beach Golf Course. After an afternoon on the green, head to one of our favorite Newport Beach restaurants and bars for some après-golf fun!  

If you have the luxury of working remotely, why stay home? Sometimes, a change of scenery is just what you need to increase your motivation and productivity. For this, we recommend a midweek getaway. It’s an especially great option for Southern California residents, as Orange County is just a short drive from Los Angeles, San Diego, and Irvine.  

When you arrive, simply connect to your rental home’s free WIFI and get to work with a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean! Even better, you receive the best available rates on rentals when you stay Sunday-Thursday!  

Between the stress of work and everyday life, it can be difficult to find the time to connect with your special someone. If your relationship needs quality time, consider a romantic getaway to Orange County! There are many romantic things to do in the area like a sunset dinner cruise, a bike ride on the beach, a couples’ massage, and more.  

Many of our rental homes sleep just a few guests, so you can find a property that’s the perfect size for you and your sweetheart!
