LOCATION: Dana Point is a city located in southern Orange County, California. It has one of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, and with ready access via State Route 1 (the famous Pacific Coast Highway or PCH). Dana Point and surrounding communities of Laguna Beach and San Clemente are popular local destinations for sailing, fishing, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking, biking, golfing, tennis, and more. ATTRACTIONS: STARBOARD CHARM is just up the road from the Dana Point Harbor and downtown Dana Point. Located near the north end of Dana Point referred to as Monarch Beach, it is just a short 15-minute drive into the beautiful and artsy famous seaside town of Laguna Beach. It is also within a short 15 minute drive (or a 30 minute bike ride for the more adventurous types) from the historic town of San Juan Capistrano with the Mission San Juan Capistrano, quaint Los Rios District, antique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There’s even a petting zoo for the smaller members in your family! The city was named after the headland of Dana Point, which was in turn named after Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of Two Years Before the Mast, which included a description of the area. Dana described the locale, including neighboring San Juan Capistrano, as "the only romantic spot on the coast.” Although Dana described the anchorage as poor, it is now a developed harbor and contains a replica of his ship, the Pilgrim. The Ocean Institute, located at the harbor, uses the Pilgrim as a classroom. Come and explore Dana Point at STARBOARD CHARM! We look forward to having you as our Guests! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Gym - Heated pool - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 755 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33571900/33571896/1d0de0a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Trail Bungalow - Walk to Beach!

Stayed 30 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda S. 16 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### March 2025 Everything was good except we did notice a couple things during our stay. When we stripped the bed to morning we were leaving, noticed an empty waterbottle wedged in between the bed and dresser and an orange ball under that dresser. We just left them as didn’t particularly want to touch . There was a dish in kitchen which was put away but not totally clean. Other than that, it was fine. ##### Linda S. Stayed 11 nights in Mar 2025
