Breathtaking Views

You couldn't find a better place to stay in Dana Point - or anywhere else, for that matter. The listing can't adequately describe the view, you've got to see that for yourself. Bo was a pleasure to deal with, the condo was very clean and spacious, and there wasn't a thing we needed that wasn't provided. We saw spouting whales and dolphins from the balcony, and were entertained by surfers from dawn to dusk. Access to the Headlands walking paths and switchbacks/steps to the beach (and mulit-million dollar mansions) are at your doorstep. Convenient to many restaurants, shopping, you name it. Friends of ours had recently stayed at the Ritz Carlon (within view down the beach), but we much preferred staying in this condo. We're pretty picky as long-time owners of a 2 bdrm beach condo in Delaware, but have nothing but praise for this place. Thanks for letting us stay!

The location is wonderful. Breathtaking views from the balcony. The condo is very clean, comfortable and includes a great washer/dryer. We enjoyed walking to the beach or do the trails. The owner was very helpful and communication easy. Definetly recommend it! P. S. We had a delicious lunch at the Dana Harbor, the restaurant is called Wind &Sea. Mai tai & mahimahi, yum!

Spectacular view, wonderful place to stay

We came down from No. CA to take a brief, college graduation (in March) trip with our son. Last minute planning was aided by Bo, our host, and all went as anticipated. The condo has a spectacular ocean view from inside or from on the deck, warm fireplace at night, comfortable beds,a clean environment and many amenities. The condo is on a bluff above the beaches but the walk down is steps away and the area is easy access to nearby towns and beaches. We had someone to contact if we had problems (which didn't occur) so no worries about that. The place and the people together made for a memorable time--which is what we wanted. We weren't disappointed and do recommend.

Wonderful Last Minute Graduation Trip

Our son had just graduated from UCLA in March, and since ceremonies aren't until June, we decided to come down from No. CA for a little family celebration trip with last minute planning. Bo was exceptionally helpful in coordinating needs/dates and in helping us to make it a memorable time. The condo is lovely and sits on a bluff overlooking the ocean right next to the beach access walk.. Weather went from resolving rain to heavy fog to warm sunshine while we were there, and all were enjoyable from either the living room window wall or the ocean view deck.(I even got up in the night just for the privilege of sitting at the living room window and looking out over the waves breaking in the moonlight.) All the extras we needed (and more) were available in the condo and parking was easy for us and for a visiting relative. A close drive to everything and a wonderful vacation spot with a great host. Recommend.

Beautiful views!

We had a wonderful time over the holidays in this house with spectacular views! It was very comfortable and homey and we would stay there again in a heart beat. We hiked down to the beach everyday and it was such a beautiful view the entire walk. The owner was very responsive to any questions and clearly wanted to make sure we had a great time. The only hard part is that the bathroom/dressing area off the master bedroom doesn't have a door so we bought a curtain rod and put up a temporary curtain - very easy. If you're a family, it's not an issue at all, but if you have 2 couples, it's a bit harder. Thanks, Bo, for a wonderful vacation!!!

Fantastic ocean views! The condo worked out perfectly. It was exactly as depicted in the photos. The walking path to the beach was very close. Bo was a great host.

Vacation 9/2010

We were looking for the perfect place to spend time with family, our 7 week old grandbaby and friends. We wanted to be right at the ocean And this place was PERFECT. It was big enough for 4 adults and 1 baby to stay and not get in each others way. The place was clean, had everything we needed to have friends over for lunch and dinners The Ocean Views were OUTSTANDING. The beach is very close. You can walk down the steps or go to the other end of the parking lot of the beach and take the little elevator. We were so happy with this condo that we will be going back yearly for a vacation. Thank you again Bo for sharing your condo. Sincerely, Connie Pierson

Owner response:Thanks Connie! Come back any time....you guys are great. Bo

Memories That will Last A Lifetime

Hi Bo, Thank you so much for allowing us to spend time in your home for our special occasion! Our visit with our Marine son before he was deployed to Afghanistan was priceless. Thank you for allowing our family to rent it around the Holiday and for the extra day you gave us at the end of our trip. Your place is so beautiful and comfortable. The view is beyond description. Our sunsets everynight were amazing. We loved watching the surfers and walking the path to the harbor. The fire place was so cozy on those cool nights. The beds were one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in. My son Steve told me "that he had not slept that good in months. He had a must needed rest in your home. We also took a trip with Captain Dave and his Dolphin Safari. It was fantastic. We saw a pod of about 1,000 Dolphins. There were babies jumping. We also saw a Blue Whale which was on my bucket list to see as well. He was about 70 feet long. WOW! My son Steve and I got to spend some one on one time together something we rarely have time to do. We walked the beach and watched the kite surfers. It was a priceless time with our son and we just can't thank you enough. Even though he has lived in California for three years now he had never been to Dana Point. He wants to visit again when he returns from Afghanistan. It was one of our favorite places we have been in California as well and we have traveled all over California. I have to tell you about what happened to Steve and I when we walked the beach the night before we left. We were admiring all the beautiful houses on and when we came to a point we could not walk any farther because of the tide I suspect, Steve notices a flag waving on a flag pole facing the ocean. It was the Marine Corp flag. I saw the American flag above it but had not seen the Marine flag until Steve pointed it out. I thought it was such a special moment. It was a good omen. Thank you for your card for Steve and all your support. It meant the world to all of us. I wished you could of met Steve before we left. Thanks for trying. I saved yur card for his Marine book that I am making for him. God Bless you Bo and your family Cindy and Alan from Michigan Proud Parents of Cpl Steven 3/5 marines
