Oasis of calm, charm, and comfort in great location near the ocean, resorts

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!"

"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."
