Crystal Cove Beach Cottages

The Crystal Cove Beach Cottages quaint bungalows offer a serene escape for those looking for some fun in the sun.

And after a day of sun and surf, guests can experience the Crystal Cove State Park Historic District, where you can rent fire pits or enjoy a meal on the sand at The Beachcomber.

Beach House Rentals

For those who prefer a little more living space or are traveling with kids, consider a beach house rental! While resorts offer perks like maid service and pool access, a vacation rental comes with its own advantages, such as additional bedrooms, indoor, and outdoor spaces. Live the island life with a rental on Balboa Island, or enjoy beach access and some of the best waterfront dining in Orange County with a beach house on the Balboa Peninsula!
