I am the original owner of 'Coastal Accommodations', and after 8 years of residency in Southern California, returned home to the East Coast, met my husband and raised two young adult sons.
Much thought went into making our home away from home as comfortable as possible, and we hope you find it to be so too.

This condo is part of the Niguel Beach Terrace complex which is located across the street from the Strand Vista Park (http://www.funorangecountyparks.com/2010/07/strands-beach-dana-point.html). The complex is well maintained and has a pool with hot tub. Assigned parking spaces mean you always have a spot to park near the condo. A short walk across the street and you are viewing the Pacific Ocean in all its glory. My girlfriend, son, and I just spent a week here and had a great time. If peace and quiet is on your agenda this place has it. If you want to walk the trails on the Headlands or stroll the beach you can do that too. There are also some good waves for surfing or boogie boarding down at the beach. And the city of Dana Point, PCH, and Interstate 5 are only a few minutes away. You are about halfway between LA and San Diego so you can easily cover all of the south coast during your stay. To get to the beach you'll need to walk down some stairs (I counted 164 of them on one climb) or take the funicular (a funny word that means inclined tram railway). The main stairway is open 24 hours, but the funicular and some of the other stairways close at night. There are beach towels in the laundry closet. There is a complete kitchen with dishes and cooking utensils, full linens, bath towels, etc. This condo is very well provided. I found that the couch slept as well as the master bed which is to say that they both slept very well. ;-) I recommend leaving a couple of the windows partially open to enjoy the cool ocean breeze day and night. A nice thing here is that the front door uses a code instead of a key which means no key to lose and everyone can come and go as they please. There is no office on the property so be sure to get the code before you arrive. Look in the drawers in the living area for tourist info pamphlets, etc. and a membership fob for Ralph's to get the "local" prices. There is also a nice folder listing area restaraunts, things to do, etc. This place is certainly on our list of places we would return to.

My friends and I had the opportunity to spend a week in this condo and to really experience all that Orange County had to offer. The condo was very neat, well decorated and furnished. There were 5 of us and we slept comfortably with the extra linens provided. The fully furnished kitchen, washer and dryer, and two bathrooms, and wireless internet access were very convenient. The location was exceptional, with ocean views and easy beach access, we did not miss a sunset over the Pacific. Hot tub and pool access was a plus, and the complex itself was quiet and comfortable. A well-organized binder filled with restaurants and other attractions was provided and helped us plan our itinerary for the week. We went sportfishing, minutes away in Dana Warf, and spent a day in nearby Laguna Beach, exploring the boutiques and art galleries. We also visited the San Diego Zoo and explored Old Town, San Diego. We truly felt at home in the condo and did not want to leave! We will definitely be visiting southern California again, and we would love to return to this rental.

What a great place!I stayed in the condo last summer for a week with a couple of my friends and we had an absolute blast. Every room in the place is remarkably clean and comfortable- the perfect size for any group up to six people. There is a pool and jacuzzi within less than a minute walk of the condo which were really nice- and the beach is really close too. There are plenty of great restaurants and shops which you can get to with a short drive, and we went in late June when the weather could not have been nicer. It was 75 degrees and sunny every day we were there,with the temperature cooling down a bit at night so we never had to put on the air conditioning. Over all it was a great place and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Our family had an opportunity to stay at this lovely condo last November. The condo was the perfect size for our family of 4 and was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The location is perfect for walks down to the beach and is in close proximity to the harbor as well as easy access to pacific hwy. The owner is very quick to return phone calls and answer questions regarding the condo rental. The complex is very well maintained and the pool was clean and a fairly easy walk from the condo. There are 2 small private patios in this unit, both kept up nicely and with plants and nice patio furnishings. We would definately rent this unit again! Thanks Anna!

We feel extremely fortunate to have found this condo for our 2 month vacation this spring (April and May 2009). Our experience was wonderful and the condo truly felt like a 'home' rather than a 'condo rental'. The owner has made the condo extremely comfortable and warm. There is a wonderful ocean view from the living room area and we were able to enjoy beautiful nightly sunsets. It is a short walk to Strand Beach and we made daily walks to enjoy the beach and surfers. The condo's bedrooms were good size and having two full baths made it extremely convenient for the three of us. The condo was unusually clean and well equipped with plenty of linens and kitchen appliances. It was a wonderful 2 months and I would highly recommend this condo for either short-term or long-term stays.

We were fortunate to recently spend a week at Anna's condo. The comfortable, large, fully furnished conso was a joy. Four adults had plenty of room to move around, the beds were comfortable, with extra linens and towels. We enjoyed the meals outside on the patio, complete with live plants and flowers. The complex pool was clean, heated and never crowded. The beach was just a short walk away, but be forwarned, the treck back up the steps could be a challange. Yes, we would not hesitate to seek this rental out again if we plan on staying in the Dana Point area in the future. Thank you, Anna, for providing this restful, clean, relaxing place. Sue

The rental was very clean, the kitchen was very good. The given informations were all correct. We liked very much the maps and sightseeing information so we could plan our trips. It was only a short way to the beach. I can recommend the property to all of my friends in Germany where I live and hope my family and I can visit this place again.

My husband, my children and I spent a great 14 nights here towards the end of July 2008. This condo.is very well appointed. Lots of space for a family. Lovely, comfortable beds and the living area is spacious. There are two patio areas. Everything we needed was provided.The pool is great and the proximity to the Pacific ocean is terrific. The property was clean and well cared for. There were lots of towels and bed linen and the kitchen has ample equipment. I found the owner to be courteous and friendly in my dealings with her and attentive to our needs. I would heartly recommend this property to my family and friends and would love to stay there again if we visit this area of California in the future. There is so much to see and do around here we only got to do a bit. Dana Point Harbor is worth a visit very scenic place. We went to Disneyland in Anaheim about 45 mins away highly recommended. We also visited Universal Studios in LA worth a trip. Newport Beach and Balboa Harbour are truly beautiful and also Laguna Beach which is only a few miles up HWY 1. We visited Seaworld in San Dieo which we really enjoyed it is in a terrific setting. So many restaurants so much choice, we had many great meals in lots of different places and without exception the food was good. San Juan Capistrano Mission is an interesting place to spend a few hours. San Clemente has a nice laid back feel to it. Interesting little shops there. The sunsets are incredible, me perched on a rock on the beach near us taking it in, wonderful. The is a good shopping centre in Mission Viejo which has Macys and many other shops. Dined in Ruby's Diner there as usual lots of food, sometimes more than we could eat. Great thing about America is the friendly welcome and the can do attitude to everything I wish we could capture it! To conclude, we hope to return in the not to distant future, this place got the thumbs up from all the family. We had a great holiday here. Geraldine
