Wonderful Vacation
The property upon arrival was very clean, had everything we could ever need, and the host had left us some tasty treats! We were impressed the moment we walked in. The view, ocean breezes and proximity to the ocean were added highlights for us. We enjoyed our time immensely and have never had a more responsive, and kind host. Our host was wonderful. We hope to enjoy many more vacations here.

Best VRBO Property Ever
We have stayed at VRBO properties all over the US and Vida’s property is by far the best we have ever stayed at. The property is better than what was advertised. The location is perfect right across from the park with panoramic ocean views and is within easy walking distance to all of our favorite restaurants in the Lantern District in Dana Point. The property is immaculate and has everything that you need. The kitchen is completely equipped, there are great linens on the beds and plenty of quality towels and beach towels. There are beach chairs, beach umbrellas and beach toys for enjoying the beach that is only a few minute walk away. The community is quiet and well maintained and there is plenty of convenient off street parking. Vida is a great host and has thought of everything to make a stay at the beach comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend this property and we will definitely return for another stay!

A Wonderful Stay!
We certainly enjoyed our month long stay at The Sea & Sun at Strands Beach. The ocean views from everywhere in the home are unmatched, and the sunsets are breathtaking. It is a comfortable and well-equipped vacation home with all the amenities. Vida was a wonderful host and provided everything we needed during our stay.
