Loved it!

The cottage was perfect because it made the ideal staging area for all the furniture and equipment we needed for my nieces wedding and reception. The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to loan us moving equipment for all the items we had to transport to the venue. Thank you very much!!

Great location - uncomfortable couch

Overall our stay was great. Perfect location for moving our daughter into Chapman University. The couch and chair in the front room are incredibly uncomfortable and nearly impossible to enjoy an evening sitting on. As noted in other reviews, the shower stall is very small and there was a lot of mold.

The location was great, the neighborhood look safe. Close to many attractions

My stay was good, I really enjoyed and my family too but it really bother us that the kitchen windows do not had covers it all, they were wide open. I felt that it was no privacy between the host and us and that it was left on purpose like that. On the pictures of the property the kitchen window it was covered.

This little cottage was perfect for our week long stay. The only downfall was that we didn’t receive check-in instructions ahead of time. We had to be on the phone with the Expedia team for about an hour because our host was not responding. After everything got worked out, we had a great time. The drive to Disneyland was super short! Very nice neighborhood.

Disneyland/Beach Family Vacation

This place was accommodating for our family of four! We enjoyed our stay as Disneyland only 15 minutes away and the beach was 20 minutes. The owners were very nice of not having to wait around or be around while we were there and given us privacy, which was important for us. The negative feedback was that the bathroom was not as clean as we expected and the local playground was not inviting for kids to play. There was homeless people in the area and the activities were frightening and the police did not intervene. Overall the trip was great and the house was stocked with everything we needed. Thank you for a pleasant trip!

This is our second year staying here and we loved it even more this trip. The neighborhood and Old Towne Orange are super charming and very well maintained. You can tell everyone is aware of how lucky they are to live in such a fantastic area. We saw people, children, and pets out for walks constantly. The weather was beautiful and we're only 15 minutes from the Disneyland Resort. The property is well maintained and everything was clean and ready to use. The kitchen has all the utensils, pots, pans and dishes you'd need to make a meal though we had our meals planned for the parks when we visited. The Nest thermostat helps maintain an comfortable temperature and everything works as expected. I wish we could stay when we're not out of the house from the parks' open to close. We travel with our two small dogs and they enjoyed having a safe, enclosed yard to sniff around and enjoy the weather too. We would only stay somewhere else if this unit was unavailable because our host does a such an outstanding job of making sure everything is just as you'd hope. See you again next year!

Perfect location when staying in Orange. This is the second time we have stayed at Daves’s place in Orange. It is a short walk to downtown Orange in a quiet residential neighborhood. We absolutely love the location. It has everything you need. It is also very clean. Dave lives next door and is quick to respond if needed. Will definitely stay again. Couldn’t ask for more.
