It is common to see dolphins and sea lions while visiting the beach. This is the same beach that guests from the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel and The St. Regis at Monarch Beach use.

  • My wife, 3 year old son, and I had a great time staying in this condo in May. The closet full of beach gear came in handy. The condo was in great condition. Everything you can think of is provided, even discount club cards for grocery shopping at Ralphs and Albertson's! Patrick was great to work with. The only negatives were the much longer walk to get to Strand Beach (due to construction) and the fact that the condo pool was under renovation. A membership to a local health club was provided, but it was not the ideal setting for a 3 year old to play in the pool with lap swimmers. These are not big issues, unless you are planning to stay with young ones, then it might be a minor issue. Overall, a great place that we would stay at again and recommend to anyone.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Andy,when you arrived last May the construction on the path was almost complete as well as the pool. I'm happy to say that the closest path to the beach is complete along with a nice shower area and restrooms. Our pool/jacuzzi refurbishment was completed last June. Next time you visit, you'll see the incredible upgrades that have been made to our community.

  • We enjoyed a weeks stay in Dana Point at this condo over Easter week 2009. It is a lovely, centerally located place to stay in southern California. My husband and 2 children (2 and 5) had a great time. It is very well stocked, impecably decorated and in a delightful location. The owners were accessable and it was an easy process! Highly recommend!

  • We stayed at this condo for a week during spring break, it is spacious and very nicely decorated, actually better than it looks in the pictures on the web. Kitchen is well equipped which helps a lot with young kids!! Owners handled our transactions efficiently and are very helpful. Best part of the area is strands beach with a spectacular view of the ocean and surrounding hills, we enjoyed watching sunsets and surfers. This beach is perfect for small kids and also for body boarding fun, water is bit cold though! Condo location is about 30-40 min drive from various attractions like Disneyland, Legoland, Flower fields etc, great for day trips Overall great place to hang out and relax !!

  • Thank you for your quick credit of our deposit. I could not click on the link for comments for some reason, however, we had a great time in Dana Point. Your condo was wonderful and I would highly recommend it to all my friends. Everything was very clean and more comfortable than I would have ever imagined. It was a great home away from home! Location was fabulous - next to the beach and halfway between L.A. and San Diego - a great place to stay in southern California! Thanks for a great time,

  • Our girls weekend in California was fun and relaxing and staying at your condo made everything perfect. Having the luxury of staying in the same complex as my daughter was great. We really enjoyed being able to BBQ and spend quality time with friends and family. The condo was very clean and making the arrangements was easy and stress free. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in California...which will be very soon! Thanks.
