Top Dana Strands Beach Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location. Best value in South Orange County"

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! The location was perfect and made it easy to walk to all the places we wanted to visit. Our room was roomy, the bed was super comfortable, and the view was amazing. The wine hour was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast offerings every day. As early risers, we would have loved breakfast to start a little earlier, but we appreciated that coffee was already brewed and available. The only improvement we'd suggest is adding more drawers for clothing storage. Overall, a fantastic experience!"

Stunning Multimillion Dollar Oceanfront -interior by Artist SPECIAL 2026 PRICES

10/10 Excellent

"The property was perfect and Jill, the host, is absolutely amazing. We have already booked again for next year because we were so happy with it. The views can’t be beat in the location, puts you walking distance, not just from the beach, but easily into town. There were plenty of linens, and the beds were incredibly comfortable as well. Great place!!"

Casa de la Ballena, back available on VRBO. Permit STR15-0329, walk to the beach

"We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the property over the July 4th long weekend. It was cozy and comfortable and well stocked! Bob was very friendly and helpful and we definitely hope to be back- great experience!!"

Spectacular Oceanfront - the Best Views in Dana Point !!!!!

8/10 Good

"It was a busy holiday weekend. The host was very friendly and helpful in planning places to go see fireworks and any other help we needed. It was a beautiful place with stellar views! Would definitely go again. Close to everything."

Dana Dream Coastal Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town for a wedding and we brought our 11 month old baby. Everything was very clean, easy to use & the backyard is also very clean along with the Hot tub. They had a pack and play so we did not need to bring ours for the baby to sleep in. They had a couple beach chairs, little beach umbrella for our visit to baby beach. It was great! we were able to put our little guy down in the evenings in time to enjoy a little relaxation in the Hot tub at the end of each night. Farmers market on Saturday was perfect and able to walk to no problem for a cup of coffee, light breakfast and some shopping with some local vendors. Thank you,Bo"
