It was very quiet and we were very comfortable. There was a full kitchen, with stove, refrigerator, coffee maker microwave, all the pots, pans, glasses, cups and utensils. There was a patio and a barbeque. It was very close to the beach about a 2 minute drive. The beach was gorgeous. There were alot of fun dining places near by. Coleen was a great host. We definately would stay there again. ##### Laura L. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin Elizabeth G. 16 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious home away from home Villa del Mar exceeded my expectations. Though I did not make use of all its amenities, it has been set up as a home away from home. Do not hesitate to book this for an extended stay in Orange County. (Young families, the owner provides a pack and play in the very large closet!) I did not give five stars for location and neighborhood because, on Mondays and Tuesdays, regular street sweeping means moving your car by 8:30am on those days. Parking on Sunday and Monday nights can be tricky because of this. Otherwise, Villa del Mar is in a walkable neighborhood with quick access to several good cafes and shops. ##### Erin Elizabeth G. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Havilah S. 18 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Great Location Things We Loved About the Property: My husband and I loved the location of Colleen’s 1 bedroom unit. It’s walkable to the beach, dining and shopping without being in a super busy or loud area. We appreciated the curated list of restaurants and support for local artists in the unit. The kitchen was well stocked and it was really fun to grill on the patio. Things we didn’t like: There isn’t actually a parking spot for the unit, it should say street parking on the listing. We parked on the wrong side and got a ticket. We did not find the bed or pillows comfortable and bought our own topper and pillows during the stay. The couch and chairs in the living area are quite aged and not that comfy. I know hosts need signs and rules to keep their unit in good condition, but I didn’t appreciate the sign on the AC unit saying not to run it while we were out. It was unseasonably warm while we were there and the unit stayed hot and humid most of the stay. ##### Havilah S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerard H. 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gem in Corona del Mar My wife and I have been vacationing in CDM for the last 6 years during January-February timeframe. We have stayed at many rental properties and this property is one of the best for the accommodations offered, the location, the pricing, the privacy and the ease of check-in/out. The resident owner is delightful but not intrusive in any way, just wants you to have a pleasant stay. The property is just as pictured, is very clean and comes with a generous supply of paper goods, laundry and dishwasher detergent and bathroom toiletries (the shower is powerful, great!) The washer/dryer is a stackable unit on the lower level, easy access and free to use. The kitchen is well stocked with every appliance, pan, and utensil you will need. There is an outdoor space with umbrella table and chairs that we did not get to use because of the "Pineapple Express" rain we endured for 4 days (host not responsible!!!) It is located just two blocks east of Pacific Coast Highway so you have ready walking access to CDM, the beach and all its offerings. Parking is on-street but no problem finding a nearby spot. I would highly recommend this property to a couple who want to enjoy CDM and the surrounding areas. We will be back next year!! ##### Gerard H.
