Top Thousand Steps Beach Hotel Reviews

Montage Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with great views and location."

Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Booked a last minute staycation and had such a lovely experience. The property itself is stunning and rooted in Laguna history, it’s been upkept and modernized with care. I especially had an amazing experience with Eric who helped me check in and brought my welcome drink. I mentioned not thinking I’d have time to enjoy breakfast before my early departure and he offered to pack me a to-go bag which was very hospitable and thoughtful. He truly went above and beyond and made my stay memorable. I can’t wait to return and stay for a longer experience sometime soon."

Most affordable listing in area. Breakaway to a peaceful, charming sanctuary!

10/10 Excellent

"Very responsive and friendly host. They responded quickly with any questions. The terrace is beautiful, space was clean, and complimentary snacks, coffee, and water provided. I will say the bed in the room not connected to the terrace was not very comfortable, but overall the stay was great, especially for the price. Recommend for sure!"

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."

Walk to, Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach and Salt Creek Beach.

10/10 Excellent

"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."
