San Juan Capistrano – San Juan in a million
A largely residential enclave of Orange County, San Juan Capistrano is known for its Spanish Colonial-style architecture, charming neighborhoods, and the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano. The city is home to thousands of acres of sprawling wilderness, and the sandy beaches of Dana Point are just a short drive away. Your centrally located San Juan Capistrano vacation rental will put you within easy reach of countless Orange County landmarks, like the Zoomars petting zoo, the O'Neill Museum, and the Historic Town Center Park.

The site also hosts an annual festival, the Battle of the Mariachis, where you can enjoy traditional Mexican music, dance, and cuisine. Zoomars Petting Zoo is a big hit with families, and you'll find plenty of interactive local history exhibits, as well as alpacas, emus, horses, pigs, and more.
