Than you,Peter, for letting us stay in your lovely house. We really enjoyed the views and the sound of the sea. The pool was great too. We managed to relax and yet did so much- San Diego Zoo, USS Midway carrier, Gas Lamp District in San Diego. Also the beautiful Mission in San Jaun Capistrano (what a surprize), we aslo visited the beaches at Doheny, Laguna and Newport including Balboa. All had such different and lovely characteristics.Some of us also went cycling along the coast. We had a good time at Dana Point. Thank you again, Joanne, Michael, David and Anna Surrey UK

Week long getaway with all the ammenities

Guest: HG (Simi Valley, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/11/11 Review Submitted: 08/24/11

Dear Peter and Eve, We had a wonderful time exploring the Dana Point and Laguna areas. It was great to have a home base to come back to get recharged, relax and then go back out. You have definitely created an oasis here and thought of what your Guest would need to feel at home and to enjoy the beach. We loved the kitchen, patio and the bedrooms were spacious. We hope to return again next year. Thank you so much. The Gordillo family Simi Valley, Ca

2011 Winter in Paradise

Our 3 months (Jan_March 2011) in Peter's Condo were absolutely wonderful. Getting away from the Midwest Winter, was made even better by the accomodations we enjoyed in the Condo and Peter's allowing us the same freedom and comfort we enjoy in our own home. Peter was an attentive owner and was "Johnny on the spot" when we had any questions or issues. This property has an absolutely fabulous view of which our family and guests who visited could not get enough. We had some awesome sunsets and will miss these nightly views that we had come to expect as normal. The area also offered lots to do in addition to its easy drive to both San Diego and Los Angeles. Thanks again Peter for a Wonderful Winter and for sharing this "Jewel". Again, thanks for allowing us to have a great Winter here in SoCal!

Owner response:Dear C & K, Thank you so much for your gracious comments. Both of you really knew how to enjoy the property to the max and yet were able to take excellent care of the place. We want you back soon. Best Wishes, Peter

Beautiful Condo in a Wonderful Spot

Guest: Norma (Tahoe City, California)
Date of Stay: 10/04/10 Review Submitted: 10/16/10

The condominium, beautifully decorated, really made our visit to Southern California so extra special. The location is lovely, the Association property is well maintained and, of course, this condo was perfect for us (two couples). We were so comfortable and really could not think of anything that was missed. I would recommend this property to anyone and hope to be able to return. The description and pictures say it all. No exageration, except maybe accessibility to the beach.

Excellent Dana Pointe Jewel

Guest: Peter (Portland Or / USA)
Date of Stay: 05/29/10 Review Submitted: 07/27/10

Having the opportunity to stay in this well maintained condo near the beach with the fantastic view was a dream come true. The amenities of the condo were the best. It was well stocked with items that were needed to make any family feel right at home. The off street parking in the garage made it convient for us to come and go as we pleased. The layout of the place was perfect to our home away from home. The pictures on the internet do not give this place justice to how it really is.... it is clean spacious and very well decorated. We recommend this condo to our dearest friends and family. In fact we have placed this on our bucket list for next year and many years to come. Mr DeSilva was very professional and trustworthy and a pleasure to communicate with during our stay. Thank you for sharing your Dana Point Jewel with our family.

Luxury with a Fabulous Ocean View!

Guest: Tom and June (Chicago, IL)
Date of Stay: 01/18/10 Review Submitted: 05/05/10

This is the most fabulous condo! The only question to ask now is WHEN ARE WE COMING BACK??!! We were here for a very extended (3 month) escape from the Chicago cold and never wanted to leave! From the moment we walked in, the condo felt like our home - luxurious in every way, as the photos will well attest. It is well -appointed with an amazing, convenient location and the very best ocean view in Dana Point! The gourmet kitchen is appointed with high-end appliances and every utensil/cookware/dishes you will ever need! The flat-screen Sony TV and stereo with surround sound and cable was also provided. The property is clean and well-maintained as the owner, Peter, kept it well-stocked with everything you need, from paper towels, vanity napkins, etc to shampoos, conditioners and hair dryers! The washer/dryer is conveniently located in the two-car garage and came with ample laundry soaps. Beach towels were provided as the beach is a 5 minute drive from the condo.The harbor, Costco, grocery stores, etc. were within a 5 minute drive as well. Be sure to buy some of Costco's fantastic wine. The selection there was outstanding. Our guests enjoyed their accommodations in the guest rooms, but moreover, relished on the back deck at the firepit listening to the waves and sea lions at night. Making Some'ors was never so much fun. The area provides a wealth of activities, as it is situated near the quaint charms of San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Beach and Corona Del Mar...many beach, sight-seeing and restaurant opportunities await you. L.A. and San Diego are easy to reach via the nearby freeway. In closing, we would highly recommend staying in this condo. You will not be disappointed! We would especially like to thank the owner, Peter, for his generous hospitality and professionalism. We truly enjoyed meeting you and having the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Southern California at the "Jewel".

Owner response:Dear Tom and June, Thank you so much for your heartfelt comments that left us teary-eyed. It was a pleasure meeting both of you and you are welcome back anytime. Also, a big 'thank you' for taking excellent care of the condo for others to enjoy in the future. All the best to Tom in his new job venture. Peter & Eve.

Dear Peter and Evelyn, You have an amazing condo with a truly magnificant panorama of the ocean! We have traveled the world and stayed in so many places - this is the BEST in our opinion!. You have magically combined luxury and elegance with comfort and practicality. We just love the Old World bathrooms, beautiful fireplace and killer kitchen! The children enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Thank you for all you put into making this condo a perfect place to stay!

Dear Peter and Evelyn, We had a great time at your wonderful condo and the few friends we had visit , were also very impressed! What we enjoyed best is how we right away, from the first step into the condo, felt right at home. There is a welcoming warm vibe that radiates through this place and the memories we made here will radiate in our heads for years to come. Finally, you did a great job with the little things, bedding, home decor, home theater system- all could or could not have been here, yet you chose to provide a luxurious experience for your guests, and we noticed! Hope visitors to come will have a great time here and add to the well of memories created here. All the best to you, A G Family. Michigan
