Whether you are looking for a place to rejuvenate and relax or a family vacation, we have the perfect place for you.
Our newly renovated beach home is a 5-minute walk from Salt Creek Beach, rated the 3rd best beach in the country according to Men’s Journal magazine. We are located just a few miles South of the artists’ haven Laguna Beach, and situated between Los Angeles and San Diego. The St. Regis and the Ritz-Carlton Hotels and Spas are both a short walk away.
We have thoughtfully furnished our place with décor and amenities that we would personally enjoy at a “coastal home away from home”. Our living room has cozy couches, lots of natural light, 42" LCD big screen HDTV, wireless Internet service, and much more.
The living area opens into the dining area which can seat 4 to 6 people. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and appliances you will need to create delicious meals. The master bedroom is furnished with a King Size Bed, flat screen HDTV with DVD player and a newly refurbished master bathroom that includes a Jacuzzi tub.
The second bedroom can easily be converted into a second master suite. It is furnished with a convertible day bed to accommodate a king, two twins or a single twin. There is also another flat screen HDTV with DVD player. The second bath has also been completely renovated. Both bedrooms and bathrooms have high quality linens and plush towels.
Our beach bungalow is the perfect place to unwind. Watch a beautiful California sunset from the balcony after spending the day at Salt Creek beach with the dolphins and sea lions, relaxing by the pool, visiting one of the many local amusement parks, shopping at specialty boutique stores, or sightseeing in Southern California. We’re sure that after one vacation at our luxurious rental, you will keep coming back!

Great stay for German family

Review Submitted: 11/27/11
We - a german family with 3 kids (5, 9, 11) - spent 2 weeks in Oct 2011 at the Beach Condo. It was a perfect holiday home - very clean, very silent, full equiped, next to the pool area and just 10 min. walk to nice Monarch beach. We surely will do it again !

Perfect for a Relaxed Stay at the Ocean

We had a fantastic and relaxed stay this summer at this condo. It was all as it was supposed to be: the condo was clean and well-maintained, you can believe what you see on the photos (although the sliding doors ... - see previous reviews) and what is the most important point: the beach was quick and easy to access. The owner even provided for beach toys for our kids. The owner was also very responsive and it was a pleasure to deal with him. In particular if you are not used to living close to the Pacific Ocean: You will love this place - just because stepping out of the condo and watching the ocean in the mornings or evenings or any other time of the day is so unbelievably "mind appeasing".

Relaxing Dana Point Vacation

Wonderful location in a beautiful neighborhood! The pool and the beach were conveniently located. The beach was very clean and not too busy. The condo was also very clean and comfortable. There was a pleasant cross breeze when you opened the windows and door. However, we also noticed, as was noted by a previous reviewer, that the sliding doors were a bit hard to open. Overall, our family had a relaxing vacation -- we especially enjoyed the weather. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with.

Condo was centrally located to all the activities we wanted to do, it was clean,neat and had everything we needed for a great vacation. Property was well maintained but it does need some attention on the deck sliding doors that are hard to open and the grill was rusty. Owner is exceptionally warm and friendly and helpful with all our questions. Beach was beautiful and within walking distance. Pool was also centrally located and was a great option for the teenagers. One of our best vacations ever. Would love to come back again in the future.

Great family vacation location

Quiet, clean top floor unit in attractive condominium complex not far from downtown Dana Point. No need for AC - just open the windows for the cooling ocean breezes. Close enough for easy access to pool and hot tub, but far enough not to be disturbed by bathers. Within walking distance to a beautiful beach just north of the point. Our children loved riding the funicular. Owner is very professional and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

The perfect getaway...

What a fantastic weekend getaway! The condo is "beach chic" (I've coined my own design term) - so clean & comfy with tasteful design features. I love the dark floors with white walls - feels airy, beachy & sophisticated. The condo has all the amenities & the location is AMAZING. Right across the street from the beach. My friend and I needed an escape from the hectic city and that's exactly what we got - peace, serenity... the condo feels very homey, comfortable & relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. The exact opposite of the city. Was the listing description accurate regarding the location? YES Did the listing photos accurately reflect the rental’s appearance and amenities? YES Was the property clean and well-maintained? YES Was the owner helpful in answering your questions or concerns? YES Would you recommend this property to a friend or relative? YES What nearby activities, attractions and restaurants would you recommend? Don't deal with a car - show up to the condo prepared with food, cook for yourself, enjoy the patio with amazing ocean & sunset view, and walk to the beach and spend the weekend at the beach, walk up and down the beach, enjoy bbq on the patio... true relaxation. That's what I did!

Orange County Dream

Being our second visit to the property, we couldn't wait to return. The condo unit is clean, bright, and very accommodating for a family with a young child & the location is fantastic to see everything to your heart's content. We were pleased to be located to close to so much but also feel away from everything being so close to the beach. The unit has internet access which is great and TV's in each room (1 in LR and one in each of the 2 BRs). The only issue is I get poor cell reception in the area (then again, I'm on vacation, right?), but that is more attributed to being close to the ocean. The complex's pool was clean and other people there were pleasant & courteous. Covered parking right outside the unit is a huge plus & we barely saw any of the other residents around. The two balconies are nice, with one having an ocean peek, but the second bathroom really helps keep family travel sane. The owner is responsive and helpful in any needs that you may have. We can't wait to come back again!

Dana Point Place

We've just returned from our 10 day vacation where we stayed at Dana Point condo. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend the place. It is tastefully decorated to have a beach cottage feel. The kitchen is fully equiped and good size. The bedrooms are nice and comfortable, and our daugters just loved the bathrooms. It is an easy beautifull walk down to the beach. And the beach itself is really, really nice.There are long paths along the beach perfect for morning or an evening stroll. Dana Point is a nice quiet place that is very close to Laguna Beach and LA. We drove many days to LA and the nearby attractions and if you avoid the early morning traffic, it is very comfortable drive. Nihar, property manager, is very responsive and has addressed any questions we had in a friendly and proffessional manner. Again, we would highly recommend the place and are hopin to be back in the near future.

Great Family Condo located across from the pool and a short walk to beach.

Great location. Quiet complex and friendly residents. Beautifully maintained safe property, minutes to Laguna Beach or Dana Point Harbor. The complex is located just across from the beach parking and it is a short walk down the stairs to the beach. Great location for active families who enjoy the excersize up/down the stairs to and from the beach. Our family visited Disney and it was an easy 35 minute drive. It was great to get back to the quiet condo, beach, and pool after long days at Disney. We would stay again and highly recommend this condo.
