Spacious SoCal Getaway + Pool
Escape to this spacious 2-bedroom hillside retreat 20 minutes from Disneyland and 30 minutes from Newport Beach. Enjoy a private suite with a steam shower, pool table, kitchenette, and beautiful surroundings. Relax by the shared pool or in the jacuzzi, and explore the 6-tree orchard on the property. Perfect for families or couples looking for comfort, convenience, and a peaceful stay. Some overhead noise; parking can be tricky. Your SoCal getaway starts here!
The space
Welcome to your private getaway in North Tustin! This spacious (1,800 sq ft) 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom basement apartment offers comfort, privacy, and a touch of fun. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while the large living room includes a cozy sectional and a computer desk for work or planning your adventures.
Enjoy access to a shared swimming pool, jacuzzi, and even a waterslide—perfect for sunny California days. Indoor and outdoor dining areas each seat four, and there’s a pool table for your entertainment. The kitchenette is ideal for simple meals, and outside, a small orchard with six fruit trees adds a charming touch of nature.
While part of the property is separated by a functional fence that’s not picture-perfect, the rest of the surroundings are lush and serene—an inviting space to relax and recharge.
Other things to note
We have an unattractive safety fence in the backyard (see photos) temporarily.
Also note that the only bathroom is in the master bedroom.
Jacuzzi is heated upon request (2 hours notice).

About the host
Hosted by Christe
Hi, I’m Christe! I’m a travel advisor, writer, and mom based in beautiful North Tustin, California. I’ve lived here for many years and love sharing the charm of our hillside neighborhood, just a short drive from Disneyland, Newport Beach, and all that Orange County has to offer.
As a host, I value comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches. I believe travel should feel both exciting and restful, and I’ve designed our guest space to give you the best of both. Whether you’re here for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a local staycation, I want you to feel welcome, supported, and at home.
When I’m not helping others plan unforgettable trips or caring for my family, I love hiking local trails, exploring new restaurants, and taking day trips up and down the California coast. I’m passionate about creating peaceful, inspiring spaces and experiences.
I’m just a message away if you need anything during your stay—and always happy to share recommendations for dining, local gems, or kid-friendly adventures. I look forward to hosting you!
