Great spacious condo with every amenity that you need to enjoy your stay in Dana Point. Clean, nicely decorated, comfy beds and stocked with lt all. Thank you !
From start to finish, it was perfect for our family. We found it really central for trips up and down the coast. Owner was responsive and very professional and positive to deal with. The neighborhood was super clean and safe with plenty of food and grocery options available.with plenty of food and
Such a great location to everything you’d want to do! The place was a great size for a family of 5. The beds were SO comfy we slept amazingly each night! We would totally stay here again & hope to within a year. Having access to hot tubs & a pool was another plus for us. Just a great place!!
Our unit was clean and the appointments were first class. Nice large kitchen for cooking. Beautiful location, nice ocean view from jacuzzi and wonderful trail from condo to Salt Creek Beach.
This place was perfect for my husband’s conference at the Ritz Carlton. Although it was a steep long walk it was a pretty one. The condo had everything we needed for the week. It had all the beach items which was so helpful! The area is very beautiful. Very upscale for sure. It was our first time to that area of California. And we were not disappointed.
We found this condo to be comfortable, clean, and quiet. It provided us with everything we needed to enjoy a very relaxing stay. No lack of good restaurants close by, including 3 within walking distance. For great pizza try Truly Pizza, located on the north side of Dana Point, reservations recommended. We found great hiking trails in and around Dana Point. Maps found in condo were helpful. We also enjoyed the walking path to the beach from the condo, quite pretty especially in the evening.
Would stay again and recommend to others.

Clean, great location. Kitchen, bathrooms modernized. All else - somewhat dated - eg furniture, carpets. Needs new coffee machine. Contradictory parking instructions. Late arrival . Complimentary bottle of water would be appreciated. Successful stay but not 10 score in my opinion.
Casa de Awesome actually was awesome! We loved everything about it and will stay again when we visit my family. The master bedroom closet was so big (and had a skylight!) that my toddlers made a fort in it and slept there for the week :)
The only thing I will mention, which didn't matter to us, but was a bit of a shock - the 'walk' to the beach is 1.25 miles and LOTS of hills. It would be fine for a couple, but not for dragging along 2 little kids and all their stuff. We walked half way and then realized that the kids were already done, and even if we had a blast at the beach, they'd never make the walk back. If you rented electric bikes, you'd be set though!
When you drive into a neighborhood named Ritz Pointe, you expect a certain level of classiness. First the positives: Cynthia was very responsive to our requests. The kitchen was very well equipped. The fireplace was especially cozy.However, there were several problems. The sofa in the living room was not usable. With a strong demand, Cynthia was able to get a new one to us in 3 days. The Kitchen lights did not work. At first they only stayed on. Then they wouldn’t turn on. We had 3 visits from electricians before they were fixed. On a very cool morning, the furnace was broken requiring another workman visit.It is not an easy walk to the beach and that was disappointing for sure and misleading in the description..The plethora of plastic plants was both unattractive and dust catching. The woven rugs were frayed and tripping hazards. The bedroom carpets were worn and dirty. The patio looked like it had not been cleaned in months so was also unusable.We appreciated Cynthia’s availability and quick response. However we will not be returning.
Perfect vacation home for a family of 4! I loved the layout of the condo and the rooms were cozy. My 2 kids slept great in the king bed and so did we. They provided all the essentials to last us the entire week (soap, TP, laundry detergent, etc.). The pool was nice to have although we only used it once since the beach was so close! Dana Point is so beautiful and staying in this condo so close to the beach felt like a dream.
Everything was wonderful, loved how much space the condo had it was perfect for a family of 4. The sofas and King size beds were very comfortable. We cooked a lot of meals and the kitchen was well equipped! Loved the hot tubs! Beautiful area, we had so much fun!
We've just spent a delightful stay at this beautiful condo, and didn't want to leave! It had everything we needed, loads of space to relax in, and in a fantastic location. Breakfast on the balcony watching the Hummingbirds will live with us forever.
