Location: Monarch Beach, Dana Point, Orange County, California, USA (1 hour South of Los Angeles, 1 hour North of San Diego)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Enjoy your vacation only steps from the world-class beaches of the California Riviera. Bask in the sun at the same beach visited by guests of the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel and the five-star St. Regis Hotel.
* Steps from the Beach
The only other accommodations this close to the beach are the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which directly overlooks Salt Creek beach!!
The condo is even closer than the St. Regis Hotel and Spa, which boasts that it's right on the ocean. But staying in this condo is much more economical for your family and friends.
* Comfortable accommodations
This two-bedroom, two full bath upstairs condo is ideal for couples or families with children. The high ceilings make it feel even more spacious, and the upstairs location means no noisy walking over you. There is a kitchen, family room and dining area, plus two balconies. A pool and two spas are available for use.
* Attractions Galore
Orange County has miles of beaches to explore, world famous attractions such as Disneyland and Knott's Berry farm, hundreds of fashion-setting stores and boutiques to be explored, and restaurants, cafes and microbreweries to suit every taste.
* Ocean activities
About a three-minute drive away is the famous Dana Point Harbor, which offers boat cruises to Catalina Island, whale-watching and sportfishing expeditions, and picnic and barbecue areas. Newport Harbor, about 20 minutes north, offers boat tours to celebrities' homes, and endless shops and restaurants on Balboa Island.
* Coastal towns
Just north on the Pacific coast are countless more beaches in the coastal towns of Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. The towns, though close in proximity, are sometimes worlds apart in their character, each offering different adventures and environments. Just 6 miles north is Laguna Beach, home of the world-famous Pageant of the Masters and Festival of the Arts. The quaint town is a Mecca of galleries, unique restaurants and boutiques.
* World-class shopping

Thanks for sharing your condo with us. We all agreed, one of the best vacations! We really enjoyed the beach, steps, squirrels & some wild waves. The beach chairs were very nice, we're gonna get us some. Lying on the beach, sipping our Pepsis, listening to the Angels, felt a little like heaven! Andy & Marilyn Cert; Ryan & Christine Rusich
