Mission Viejo: talk about location, location, location!
Situated in TV-famous Orange County, Mission Viejo is a year-round family destination sporting picturesque tree-lined streets, warm California sun, and of course, those golden sunsets along the Pacific Ocean, just 11 miles away. Plus, it’s only 24 miles from Disneyland Park, so it’s no wonder Mission Viejo vacation rentals tend to book up early. Mission Viejo offers live theater, shopping, and wine tasting - what would a California vacation be without wine tasting? You can get your exercise while soaking up the sun in loads of parks, 3 golf courses, or during several running events held throughout the year.
Mission Viejo: beaches, wineries, & Disneyland, oh my!
Mission Viejo vacation rentals are popular due to their central location where you’ll be about 20 minutes from picturesque Laguna Beach and 30 minutes from Disneyland Park. Note to self: while the waters of Lake Mission Viejo may look tempting, it’s off limits to everyone except local residents. Sorry! Take in a seasonal theater performance at the Saddleback College campus or check out competitive swimming at Mission Viejo Nadadores. But no California vacation is complete without enjoying their world-class wines, so be sure to embark on a tasting tour or to savor a glass after a day of sightseeing.
Live the active California lifestyle - then drink some wine
Let’s face it, Californians love their sunshine as much as they love being active. And shopping. They love to shop. Hit the stores at Kaleidoscope Center and The Shops at Mission Viejo. And don’t miss the swap meet every second Sunday at Saddleback College. Play a round of golf, compete in a 5K or a triathlon event, or join in on the fun with paddle yoga. You can even drop-in for a barre or a pilates class. After a day of wilderness hiking, wind down with a glass of that delicious California wine.
