Vacation Rentals by Owner

An Excellent Stay in an Amazing House

My friends and I rented this house as a base of operations for the groomsmen in a wedding. We were stunned by the beauty of the house and the area - the pictures definitely do not do it justice! While we had vehicles, it was certainly walkable to many nearby places, including the store and the marina (with the ferry to Catalina) as well as few decent bars. (Sidenote: I recommend Hennessey's Tavern for the younger crowd) For food, the Ralph's is nearby, just make sure you grab to Ralph's card in the welcome booklet or else you'll end up paying too much. The house is very well equipped, and we had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. Plenty of towels, linens, and beds! The kitchen is massive, and we easily handled a large brunch crowd. Each bedroom is fantastic, although the master bedroom is certainly the place to be. The decks are where we spent most of our time, and the views are great. As for the owners, Danielle and Charlotte were very friendly, and all of the lease arrangements were quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone staying the Dana Point area. If/when I get a chance to visit again I will certainly be calling Danielle!

Stunning Property!

This home is absolutely excellent. We were so very pleased to find it extremely clean and well equipped. It offers a gorgeous ocean view and lots of privacy. The small children traveling with us loved to explore the yard and beautiful grass park right next door. This home is close to all the major conveniences and freeway while still being in a quiet serene setting right off the beach. Danielle and Charolette were readily available to answer all of our questions and promptly returned our deposit. Thank you for a wonderful time in your home. It provided plenty of room for our entire party to enjoy each others company with lots of space for privacy.

The view really is breathtaking - absolutely gorgeous. This was the perfect place for our family to stay during our daughter's wedding weekend in Dana Point. Comfortable, well appointed, very nice, luxurious, everything that we could have asked for. Fantastic kitchen, great for entertaining. The owners were wonderful to work with, nice and very accommodating. This is our fourth VRBO rental (Kauai, Kauai, Monterey & Dana Point) and we have never been disappointed. This may be the best property ever!

We loved the views, coastal charm and décor, and felt the photos and description are an accurate representation of what you can expect. The house was very clean and the owners were responsive and easy to deal with. We plan to stay here again and would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.

We stayed here in your home from 5/31-6/7. We loved your home and the accomadations were more than we expected. You have a beautiful home with a great view of the ocean. The area of Dana Point is incredible and within close proximity to everything. We went to Salt Creek almost everyday and love the ocean and beaches. It was a memorable week for all of us. Our children were very comfortable and had a great time. Thank you for allowing us into your home. We hope to come back again.

Thank you for sharing your amazing house with us. We came to Dana Point for our friends wedding at the St. Regis and everyone agreed this place was ten times better than staying at the hotel. We wnt to (3) different beaches to surf and had a blast. Doheny Beach was perfect for the kids, and we even got a basketball game going at the court across the street. Had more than a few lunches at Chronic Tacos and enjoyed the rest of our meals on the beautiful deck. I'm sure all of us want to move here, and we will all be coming back again. Thank you for everything.

We had such a lovely and relaxing time in Dana Point. This house is even more gorgeous in person...it's quite beautiful. It is very spacious, yet warm and welcoming. Danielle was really great and helpful throughout the process. We all loved the kitchen, fireplaces, and showers! Highly Recommended!

This house was beautiful! Wonderful place to stay while in Dana Point, the kitchen is huge and great for cooking and entertaining. The master suite is bigger and more relaxing than any hotel I've ever stayed in. I would definitely rent this house again.
