Serene Nature Escape Near to Beach
Apple Blossom Farms is a hidden gem—peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly located. Lexie is an incredible host, and her family is so warm and welcoming. I always feel safe, cozy, and completely at ease here. The sit is surrounded by orange groves, blooming flowers, and towering eucalyptus trees. The smell of all of the orange blossoms is incredible! At night, you're serenaded by hooting owls and distant coyote howls—it’s pure magic. There are occasional car / helicopter noises in the distance but it didn't bother me at all. I slept like a baby.
You get the feeling of being immersed in nature, while still being just a 20–30 minute drive from the conveniences of the city. I stayed at the campsite where I could cook, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, then drove into Oceanside daily to surf and check out the local cafes. There are lots of nearby farm stands and farmers markets to pop into and get local produce as well.
It’s the perfect spot for nature and beach lovers who want a quiet escape without feeling too off-the-grid. I absolutely loved my stay and can’t recommend it enough.
