The Real Orange County?

For a place that has such a glamorous glow about it (it’s pretty hyped up on TV, anyway), Orange County might be a bit of a mystery to you. Is it really as idyllic as people say? Is it a good choice for your next vacation? Time to find out...


Designer duds, blonde highlights and days that revolve around surfing, sunbathing and scoping out the scene certainly characterize this destination in some ways, but there’s a lot more to the story if you scratch beneath the surface. Laguna Beach holds an art museum and live theater venue as well as the Heisler Park Ecological Reserve, which will put you in touch with the truly wild side of the region.


Farther north is Huntington Beach, the quintessential beach and surf town. The people-watching opportunities are top-notch, as are the shops, restaurants and Frisbee golf courses. An endless pier will let you walk your cares away as you get used to staring out at the ocean and finding the whole scene to be delightfully drama free.


Whatever piques your interest – canyons, high fashion, Asian Fusion dinners – you’ll find that renting a vacation home comes in handy for just about everything. The condos, townhomes and houses in Orange County range from ultra-luxurious to family-friendly and modest; you don’t have to be a superstar (or even a pseudo-celebrity) to find yourself comfortably situated as you enjoy sun-kissed afternoons, gentle sea breezes and the chance to see what the real soap opera locales of California are all about.
