Located in beautiful Orange County, our stunning condo, situated across the street from stair/pathway access to Strands Beach, has an ocean view and is centrally located to many shopping and dining options. The romantic and upscale Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, is only a 5 minute walk up the beach. Within another 10 minute walk east is the St. Regis Hotel, and south of Laguna Beach, The Montage Resort. Many great restaurants are among your choices!
This property is in a prime location in Dana Point, Orange County, (between Los Angeles and San Diego). Due to it's proximity to popular destinations, you can enjoy day trips to Hollywood, Disneyland and Legoland, with shopping at Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza.
There is also Big Bear for skiing in the winter and the California Desert. You can even catch the ferry from Newport Beach to Catalina Island, or simply enjoy the beauty of pristine Dana Point Harbor and all it has to offer.Southern California has so much for your family to do... Enjoy!!
When looking aat the map, it is helpful to know that we are physically located on a bluff, with ocean views. There are homes down below the edge of the bluff that are not visible as you look out to the ocean. There are also cement tables and benches at the bluff edge, where you can enjoy a picnic and the view or you can go on down to the beach itself! Lots of choices!
Please note that the unobstructed ocean views are from the Master bedroom patio and windows and the Guest room windows. The master patio has a table and 4 chairs, where you can take full advantage of the views and enjoy the sunsets. The kitchen/living room patio does not have an ocean view. It looks out on the street and at the next condominium building.
When looking at the variety of vacation rentals, be sure to ask where the ocean view is from- so you are well informed upon arrival and not disappointed with a 'peek' view or "stand outside the front door" view.
We welcome your questions and suggestions!

We stayed in Seaclusion for a week in July 2010. We were 4 Adults and 3 teenage girls!! It is impossibe to overstate how good seaclusion is. I have stayed in many vacation properties in bith Europe and the States and none have compared to the thought that has gone into Seaclusion. Pam has thought of everything, and i mean everything, from toileteries to boogie boards etc we had nothing to provide other than food. The property is fantastic and perfectly situated for the beach and pools. Also really good for gaining access to beach communities (Laguna etc) as well as Orange County, LA and San Diego. Also Pam and her team are so attentive, friendly and accomodating - they really give you the sense that they want you to have a great vacation and will do anything to make this happen. They even apologised for the lack of Sun and even the most unreasonable of renters cannot attribute this to the rentor!!!! If you are considering staying at Dana Point i would highly recommend that you base yourself in Seaclusion - you won't regret it.
Owner response:We are so glad that you enjoyed Seaclusion! Thank you for the review.We really appreciate it when our guests take the time to let us know how they enjoyed their stay. You experienced the worst summer in 70 years for sunshine, and you have such a wonderfully optomistic attitude about it! Please come back--we loved having you and appreciate that you took such great care of our home! Pam

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and have no hesitation recommending this property and renter. The booking process was friendly and efficient as was the arrival. The property has everything we wished for and more. We had one minor problem with a bed that was resolved instantly. The local beaches are great as are local restaurants.
Owner response:Thank you James for your great review! We are so pleased you selected Seaclusion as your home away from home while you vacationed in Southern California. As you requested, we provided an inflatable single for an extra guest...unfortunately, we had not been informed by prior users that it had a leak!! So sorry! Our manager made it her top priority to purchase a new one for you immediately! We strive to provide the absolute best service and accomodations for our visitors. We know ourselves how important it is while traveling. Thank you again and please come back to see us soon!

We found the condo exceeded our expectations and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. The location was perfect and it was so well equipped. The washing machine and dryer were a great asset. We found the beach cart useful and the beach towels were most welcome! We only did two days on the beach but thoroughly enjoyed them both. The condo was especially clean and well maintained - linen, towels etc were immaculate. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was particularly well stocked and we made good use of the waffle maker! It was good to have a welcome from Heather who explained the facilities etc. Although we did not need to contact her during our stay, it was good to know she was available if needed. We cannot think of any improvements or suggestions to make. You seem to have thought of everything! We hope that one day we may return to Seaclusion and maybe some of our friends may do so too. Thank you for all your efforts and for helping to make our holiday so special.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the opportunity to review Seaclusion...we appreciate you taking the time to share with others your experience and viewpoint of the condo. We are so pleased that you had a great time and that we exceeded your expectations. From our side, we would like to express our appreciation that you left the condo in wonderful shape and treated it as you would your own. Come back and see us soon!!

Beautiful condo with ocean view

Review Submitted: 08/07/11
We loved staying at this condo, it was just as beautiful as the pictures! Equipped with everything you need and more. It was so nice to sit out on the porch and look at the sun set and the ocean. The area was really nice, it was lovely to walk on the foot path along the sea and down to the harbor. The pool was really nice. We would love to come back! Best regards Venke (family of four from Stavanger, Norway)
Owner response:Thank you Venke for your wonderful comments about Seaclusion. It is very heartwarming to hear that you had a wonderful visit and enjoyed all that our area has to offer. You are welcome to return anytime!! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Outstanding Condo in beautiful location

Review Submitted: 07/31/11
Seaclusion is a fabulous condo located above the beautiful Strands Beach. This was our first experience of renting a private condo and we really did not know what to expect, particularly as we were travelling from the UK and everything was organised over the internet. However, Pam and her Team were absolutely fantastic and very easy to deal with - our deposit was returned before we landed in the UK! The pictures on the website were very accurate; the apartment is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. However, it is Pam's personal touches that make this place special. The bedding and towels are luxurious and far better than any of the 3 hotels that we stayed in during our US trip. Likewise, Pam has thought of everything from beach chairs, boggie boards, trolley cart, toiletries, bbq, first aid kits - in fact it really felt as if you were in a private house. The master bedroom is en-suite and has a fantastic balcony which overlooks the ocean. Whilst small, it easily seated 4 adults to allow us to watch the Pacific sunset whilst enjoying a glass of wine! The other 2 bedrooms (one a double and the other a twin) were also spacious and tastefully decorated. The living room has cable TV and WiFi, and I have never seen a more fully equipped kitchen. We were also given a discount card for Ralp's supermarket in Dana Point and loved the wide selection of fresh produce available. The small complex pool was also a welcome bonus. Originally, we had wanted to stay in Laguna Beach, but we were all so glad that we decided to pick Dana Point. It is quieter and less touristy than Laguna, but had a fantastic marina with some great restaurants (Harpoon Henrys did excellent fish and is thoroughly recommended). We also had our last meal at the Chart House which was outstanding - the prices compared with London restaurant prices, but the view overlooking the marina made this meal very special. Strands Beach was relatively quiet during our vacation (July 16-23) which made for great morning jogs along the beach and glorious afternoons messing around in the surf. There are quite a few steps to the beach but there is a lift. We also took surf lessons with Ocean Academy who we can thoroughly recommend - Jimmy and Dylan were fantastic. We did travel up to LA but the traffic on the I-5 was a nightmare. On a trip to Universal Studios, a 90 minute trip took nearly 3 hours. My thanks go to Pam and Heather for making this the best holiday ever.
Owner response:Richard and family~ Thank you so much for sharing your vacation memories and such a glowing review. We appreciate that you chose us! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and have planned to return next year for an extra week. Your dates are available and we look forward to your next visit. Thank you too for the great care you took of our property as well as the pristine condition you left it in... our manager was impressed! You were the perfect guests--thank you!!

Words cannot describe how wonderful our time was at Seaclusion. We were there last week as our daughter was married in San Juan Capistrano. Every comfort has been thought out ahead of time. The mattress in the master bedroom is divine; I will be looking into purchasing one like it. Our family has memories that will last forever. We were able to entertain at the condo one night very comfortably. Walks on the beach, beautiful sunset. So much is furnished that we overpacked and when we return will remember all the very nice extras that are provided. Upon arrival we were made to feel right at home. Although we didn't need them there were toys, beach chairs, etc. there for us. Thank you so much The Fechter Family
Owner response:Thank you Leslie for your kind words! We strive to make every stay a comfortable and memorable one. The pictures of the happy couple made our day and we were glad to be a small part of such a beautiful family event. Best Wishes and we look forward to your return visit!

This condo and the owners/managers are so wonderful! We have stayed at this condo a few times. The beds are comfortable. It's very roomy. The kitchen is well stocked. We have a toddler and they are very accommodating, supplying toys and bed rails. They have beach chairs, toys, umbrella. The beach is a very close walk. The patio has an amazing view of the ocean. Every night we sit on the patio, sip some wine, eat some apps & watch the sunset. We stayed at a few other condos in this complex before finding "Seaclusion". Seaclusion is way superior in so many ways: great easy to deal with management, comfy beds, beautiful views, quiet. We will most definitely return!
Owner response:Thank you so much Sarah for your review of Seaclusion. We appreciate that our vacationers comment on the comfort, convenience and level of service provided. Our manager does a wonderful job of making sure you have everything within her power to provide! She is working on getting year-round perfect weather! :-) Seriously, thank you again for sharing your opinions and for being a repeat visitor... that speaks volumes in and of itself!

A wonderful trip to Dana Point
Guest: CMcC

Review Submitted: 09/08/10
My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time at your condo. The property was really lovely; we have stayed in many rental houses over the years and we all agreed that this one was without a doubt the best equipped, which made cooking particularly easy and enjoyable. We also appreciated the bath products, sunscreen and first aid kit that were left for us, and beach mats/umbrellas/body boards. You had thought of everything! The property is also in a wonderful location - it is exactly mid-way between L.A. and San Diego, so is very convenient for visiting the many sights the area has to offer. It is, however, still very peaceful, being slightly removed from the busier tourist areas. Strand Beach is beautiful - the sea was a little rough for swimming a few days we were there, but it would be perfect for anyone interested in surfing. We really liked the complex's pool, which was shared but generally quite quiet . Dana Point is an ideal place to stay with many restaurants, activities and a pretty harbour to walk around in the evening. We felt we were getting a taste of real life in Southern California, which was great. We would definitely recommend this property and very much hope we will be able to come back in the future.
Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind review! We value your thoughts and impressions and appreciate your confidence in recommending our condo. You were delightful to work with and were thoughtful and caring guests. We look forward to your return to Seaclusion and Dana Point!

7 Fantastic Days in July 2010!!

Review Submitted: 08/22/10
This property is located in a lovely, quiet location, without being off the beaten track. If you want to visit Disneyland or any of the LA tourist sites, they range from 30 minutes to one hours drive away. San Diego is just over 1 hour in the opposite direction. The owners are brilliant to deal with, are extremely hospitable and do everything to try to ensure that your stay at the property is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The property itself is immaculate throughout and has all the facilities you could need to enjoy your stay. The property is ideally situated for the beach, which is only a short walk away and Dana Point Harbour is a short drive or a 30 minute walk (with children). All in all we had a brilliant time and would not hesitate to return in the future!!
Owner response:We are so happy that you had a memorable visit to Southern California and that our condo added to your enjoyment! We look forward to hosting a future stay for you and your lovely family. Thank you again!
