Stayed 30 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kelly C. 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not as advertised and gross The apartment (which is what it looks and feels like) sits directly facing the parking lot and all car ports. It’s very noisy and your view is of cars parking in and out (not nice cars either) and their headlights blaring into the house. No outside area to sit or play or hang out at the subject itself. Everything in the kitchen was dirty, gross and not usable. The AC was LOCKED out also and it was so hot and humid I actually left and checked into a hotel for my stay! Shame on you for making it look like something is isn’t. ##### Kelly C. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 1 May 2019 #### Too many problems My wife and I needed a place to stay for a month between escrows closing. We have been VRBO owners for the past 4 years, so we know how things should be. At arrival, my wife immediately knew that it was a mistake to live here. Shall I start--Unclean floors, drawers, and linens. Luckily we had our own linens and used them. Cable TV did not work. A sliding door did not work. Five vertical blinds were broke or missing. Owner's food was left in the kitchen and fridge and did not smell good. Owners stored their stuff in the closets, leaving us less room for ours. The bath sinks could not be stoppered. The bed frame is a total danger to one's shins. One bath had a loose toilet seat, no waste basket or toilet brush. Kitchen utensils are sparse and no fresh sponge. Both shower's H/C controls were extremely difficult to move, and my wife nearly scalded herself. The washing machine smelled moldy. I know it is not my own house, but come on. What really is poor is that the owner is not local and is still trying to manage it himself. No one is there to come over and see the problems and correct them. I had to manage the repairs or do them myself. He even gave me some push back with the TV since it had been working 3 days earlier when he was there. Wound up the cable had a bad connection. It took a second call because it was never set up right and I don't know how he did not realize how screwed up it was, and let it continuously malfunction. He did call his cleaning service who came over the next day and swept up a baseball size of dirt and long black hairs in just one room. We had to clean the floors daily because it had a layer of waxy substance on it; and washed all the kitchen items, throws, etc because we did not trust their cleanliness. I must say he tried to be responsive to some of the issues, but really could not do it from afar. All aside that which could be corrected, there is no garage just a carport; only one TV in the living room; and a poorly equipped kitchen for one staying as long as we had to. It is a gated community and seemed safe, which is important to us. We could not wait for escrow to close on our new place and luckily we were able to leave 8 days early. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 31 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris W. 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Chris W.

Stayed 31 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennie k. 5 Oct 2018 #### Perfect for our stay! Loved the condo. This was our second time staying in this condo complex. We were in town for OhanaFest - we had 6 adults total. Manny's condo was nicely updated. The beds comfortable. I gave it four stars because we had a couple issues with the freezer beeping and with the smoke alarm beeping - both fixable things, but were a little annoying. That being said, our group would rent the condo again. We loved it. ##### Jennie k. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy S., Phoenix, AZ 11 Sept 2018 #### Great Location and Comfortable Well located, secure property. Had fast access to beach and dining/shopping. Perfect location for the wedding we were attending at a nearby venue. Bathrooms were not prepped with supplies for 6 although Manny fast to respond where additional towels were kept! The requirement to wash all laundry (sheets/towels) or be charged an additional $40 fee was unexpected and not included in the original contract. We left the laundry but were refunded the entire deposit amount so the comments from previous guests were taken to heart by the owner. Thank you! Would have made a nice trip very chaotic at the end. ##### Cindy S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Theresa-Marie K. 30 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful and relaxing along with some funny cleaning responsibilties We loved our stay at Monarch Beach! Everything was clean. Bedrooms, dining area and living room were all very comfortable. Having a washer and dryer on site was also so helpful. The only downside is the bizarre amount of cleaning you are asked to do even though you are charged a cleaning fee. Nothing says “your vacation is officially over” like waking up early to wash all the linens and towels in order to not be charged and out the door by 11am. Even my husband looked over the “rules” of the property and laughed at just how many there were. Overall it’s a beautiful location! ##### Theresa-Marie K.

Our Dana point stay was really nice. no problems with the property. I didn’t enjoy washing all the bed linens before departure. First time I had to do that with vrbo. Anyway lovely condo in a great location. I would recommend it to a friend. ##### Lee ann H.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrae S. 13 Aug 2018 #### Great vacation stay It was very comfortable and in quick access to local shopping center and food. (Walking distance) The only problem was the parking, they have recent construction on the parking lot, so the eliminates many spots because of the work that’s being done. Very clean and refreshing modern look to the VRBO. I would recommend and stay again. Great communication with the owner, quick response every time. ##### Andrae S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim G. 2 Aug 2018 #### Monarch Beach Condo Summer Vacation 2018 We visited SoCal for the first time, myself, two daughters, and my mother. Overall our reviews are slightly mixed but on average around a 4 star. We really liked the property and enjoyed our stay alot. We will be back next summer. Pros: Location was really good. Within 10 minutes of everything we needed including the beach, restaurants, shops, grocery store, etc. Security was excellent, with a gate and guard onsite at all times. There is a very nice pool and hottub on premises, with a small gym available as well. The complex itself is very nice and felt safe at all times. The condo was nicely decorated, especially the living room which had more than ample "living space".; the furniture was comfortable and entertainment sufficient. Large wrap around deck with 3 separate entryways was very cool. Beds were relatively comfortable and there were plenty of towels and sheets. Washer and dryer in the condo was convenient. Landlord/owner was very friendly and helpful Cons: There were only two chairs for the deck and no tables. We would recommend getting some inexpensive but nice patio furniture. Light from outdoors was not blocked sufficiently in the guest room making sleeping a bit difficult--perhaps some curtains to help block the light. The guest room could use a small table/nightstand between beds, and maybe another small dresser to share. The dresser in the main bedroom was huge and perfect. I would like to see a few more kitchen supplies. Lastly, the requirement to wash all laundry (sheets/towels) made checkout by 11am quite difficult. I would recommend striking this requirement or moving checkout time to noon. We literally had to wake up by 7am in order to get all laundry done in time. ##### Jim G. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah D. 30 Jul 2018 #### Quiet and nicely decorated We enjoyed our time at this nicely decorated, clean and spacious condo. It was perfect for our family of six. Enough places to sleep and relax. Quiet area and close to my favorite beach and shopping areas. My only suggestion would be to add a few more towels. We didn’t quite have enough. Thanks for the relaxing stay. ##### Sarah D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate P. 30 Jul 2018 #### Awesome Decor furnishings beautiful. Spacious.
