    Seeking Clean Spa Environment To Rent Private Bath

    Happy Friday!!

    I just moved from Santa Cruz, where we have a couple of nice spa like environments where you can book a room with a private Japanese style soaking tub. I just adore a body of warm water to relax in and my bathtub is too small for my partner and I to soak in… is there anything like this in Orange County?

    Many thanks in advance!!🤗

    HOA Management Company

    Hey All, long story short… our community’s HOA management company (PCM) is terrible and we’re trying to find a new company to sign with. Does anyone have any positive recommendations for a local management company? Thanks in advance!

    Any steakhouse in OC as good as STK?

    Hey OC folks,

    I recently tried STK Steakhouse in LA (and also in San Diego), and honestly, it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life. The vibe, the quality, everything was just top-notch.

    Now, instead of driving all the way up to LA or down to SD, I was wondering is there any steakhouse in Orange County that’s just as good? Something with that same high-end, delicious steak experience?

    If any of you have been to STK before and know a place in OC that compares, I’d love to hear your recommendations! Thanks.

    Signature Authentication

    Anyone know of any celebrity signature authentication places in orange county? I'm willing to go to Long Beach too.

    I have a picture that Ronald Regan allegedly signed 🤣💀 I didn't believe it until I looked up his signature. It still could totally be a fake, but if not why not sell it?!

    Most of the ones ive seen in OC seem to be more catered to sport or athlete signatures.

    What exactly is the ocean institute in Dana Point?

    I can’t find any pictures of what’s going on inside the building. Do they have exhibits with animals? Is it toddler friendly? Is it mostly school events?

    Has anyone been?

    Good espresso in South County?

    Idk what’s up with the coffee culture in OC but I need some recommendations. What cafes or coffee shops actually know how to operate an espresso machine?

    My partner and I are on vacation from Portland and we’re dying for a good (or at least decent!) latte. Every place we’ve tried this week has been extremely disappointing and bleh.

    Fellow coffee snobs, help us out? 🥲🙏☕️

    Edit to add: we’re in Mission Viejo area but willing to drive anywhere in south county.

    Good food/drinks/activities?

    My friends are visiting for my birthday in a couple of weeks and I want to show them a good time in OC. Would love to go out for some good food and drinks, and any other fun activities that you’d recommend. Preferably on the cheaper side. I recently moved to Irvine, and I haven’t experienced much here yet but I’m open to anything!

    Balboa Fun Zone

    Why do they call it that? There is one tiny ferris wheel there, feel bad for tourists lol, call it Balboa Whale Zone, makes more sense.
