"We have stayed in this property may times now. The house is always clean and ready for us. The kitchen is complete, so we are able to cook when we want. The balcony off the kitchen has a view of the ocean and we have witnessed many sunsets from there, as well as eating some meals out there. There are plenty of towels to use. There are beach necessities in the garage to use. The host keep up with the needs of the property and the guest. They have been very responsive when we have had an issue. We look forward to returning there in 2027!"

BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY CONDO, GATED WITH WALKING TRAIL TO BEACH!

10/10 Excellent
"As desert dwellers, we were looking for a fairly local place to get a break from the August heat. This condo fit us perfectly. The location to the beach and free summer trolley stop was perfect. We tracked a lot of miles with our daily walks down to Monarch Golf Course, the beach and around the harbor. As daily swimmers, the pool and hot tub were in great shape and so close to the condo. The interior of the home was decorated in a cute beachy fashion. The two king sized beds were comfortable. The large,well-stocked kitchen was great - for what little cooking we actually did. Dana Point experienced a hot/humid weather pattern during our stay and having air conditioning, made life comfortable. Otherwise, if the weather had been cooler, opening the doors allowed for a great cross breeze. Access to a washer and dryer right at the condo was great. We have already been talking about a possible return in the next year."

"We’ve been spending part of the summer in the Dana Point area for about eight years, and rented this condo three times. It is, by far, the best property we’ve stayed in. Great location, comfortable furniture and the owner couldn’t be more responsive to our questions. Highly recommended."
