Thank you, thank you! My family and I spent a wonderful week in Dana Point and having a beautiful condo like yours to spend it in made it even more special. When we arrived at the condo the first thing we did was step out onto the balcony and took in the beautiful view of the ocean. We were all so excited to be there. The condo was like being at home, it was sparkling clean, roomy, comfortable and the decor was absolutely charming. We found plenty of local restaurants to dine at (which were minutes away, we could have even walked) and other activies were a 10 minute drive either way. Laguna Beach and Dana Point Harbor were wonderful for shopping and we love to shop! We spent another day at San Juan Capistrano, the weather was perfect. We also had use of the pool which was great for my granddaughters. And of course the beach, which was just a short walk from the condo. And after our little daytime excursions it was so nice to be able to go back to the condo and spend some quiet evenings, relaxing...just like home! And for those days that we didn't feel like eating out, the condo offered all the conveniences of home, fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ grill...can anyone say yummy to grilled Shrimp and Steaks! Della, thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us, you gave us a place to create some wonderful memories. After spending the week at your condo, I don't think we will ever stay at a hotel again because your condo is better than a 5 Star hotel! We hope to do it again next year. Again, thank you, thank you for our wonderful week in Dana Point. Sincerely, Regina & Family.

Best Vacation Ever

Our stay at this condo was above any expectations I had for a rental. It is located across the street from the beach. There is a beautiful park overlooking the ocean and walking trails on the bluffs with spectacular views. The condo was so clean and had everything you would have in your own home. The decorating was like something you would see in a magazine. From the deck you could watch the beautiful sunsets. It is centrally located and there are stores close by and so many wonderful restaurants. Dana Point Harbor is only a short distance where you can dine or just enjoy watching the boats. Next door is the quaint town of San Juan Capistrano where there are restaurants and small shops as well as a Mission that is so beautiful. Laguna Beach is also close by with great galleries and shopping. I would highly recommend this property. The owner was very gracious and did everything to make our stay worry free. It was a wonderful vacation.

Our family of four found your condo to be the perfect place for our vacation. We have rented other places before throughout the U.S. through VRBO and your place is one of the best. The two lanai provided a nice cool cross breeze into the condo when we had the doors open and we can often hear the waves from the Pacific during the quiet of the evening. Our boys enjoyed using your provided boogie boards for the beach, which we found to be clean, quiet and primarily family oriented. All they wanted to do was boogie board the entire time we were there. Your location is close to shopping, restaurants and other amenities. Also your attention to the minor details such as providing a booklet for your guests of local restaurants made our stay more enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend your place to anyone who is looking to stay in the Dana Point area.

We really enjoyed our stay in Dana Point. The condo was very well appointed and they thought of everything! The complex is centrally located and just a short walk to the beach and pool. I would recommend this property and am planning on staying there again when we visit Dana Point.

Della's condo is an exceptionally well appointed with wonderful views and a great location. All of the rooms are generous and very well maintained. My wife is a picky interior decorator and she loved it.

We had a great time in this well equipped Beach Home. It is in a good location between LA & San Diego with plenty of attractions in easy reach. We thoroughly recommend it to friends.

Thanks for sharing your charming condo, we have been coming to Southern Calif. for years and this was one of our best trips! The ocean breeze, views and beautiful furnishings made it so special. We will definitely be back next year!!! The Sullivan Family Dallas, Tx

Being in extreme need of a "getaway", I was fortunate enough to stay here for a relaxing few days. Great location - right by the beach; shops, restaurants, etc. nearby. The condo is cleaner than my own home & decorated beautifully & cofortably! It also has everything you need in the kitchen (if you want to cook) as well as sheets, towels, etc. Highly recommended!

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in your condo. Easy beach access, walking distance to the Dana Point Harbour and close to a variety of restaurants. The condo itself was like being at a beach cottage. I loved that you had two lanais, that scored extra points with us. We used one to relax on your outdoor furniture while grilling our salmon. The smaller lanai we sat around your bar table drinking champagne while watching the sunset. We definitely will be returning for another girls getaway!

I enjoyed myself very much. This is a perfect little hide away. The beaches are so beautiful and Laguna is so beautiful to visit. The view from the patio is fantastic and it was so calming to hear the ocean while relaxing . in bed. we had a great dinner at the Cliff House over looking the beach and a very elegant lunch at the The Beach House. I feel rejuvenated and ready to go back to work. P.S. I loved the way you have this place decorated. It's so homey yet elegant. I would love to return some day soon.

Thanks so much for sharing your "home away from home". Had a great(but too short) time. Your decorating talent gets an A. Coming from Colorado, I loved to sit on your patio and look at the ocean. If you ever need a baby-sitter for your condo-let me know....

Thanks so very much for this special treat to stay in your beautiful condo. The view from the balcony is so relaxing and impressive. We loved our walk down the beach with so many picturesque scenes to enjoy. Breakfast at Las Brisas was lovely as always along with the walk along the beach and tidepools. We could'nt ask for more beautiful weather. All the decorating is so well done. I'm so impressed!........
