Love, love, love
We loved our stay at The Nest. It was cozy, very clean and complete with everything we needed. Just a short walk to the beach and into Dana Point. The owners were so attentive and took care of our every need. I would highly recommend this condo and hope to return soon myself.
It is a JOY to us to have such nice people enjoy our Beach Nest. Thank you for making and sharing memories in our condo and Dana Point.
It really is a home away from home!
I agree with the other renters, it was great staying here at the Nest. We were there for over a month and liked it so much we even looked at places for sale in the community. We'd definitely come back.
Even though it was a horrible heat wave during September, while we were there, and there is no ac, it's surprisingly tolerable with all the doors and windows open. We only had two semi rough nights, but understand that was with very odd temperatures of over 98 degrees.
It was just my hubby and myself there, so it was a nice quiet time. You will have some neighbors around, but for the most part, they are very respectable and quiet. You do get some odd weekend renters there off and on who aren't used to being quiet and that can be interesting. It helps to use your library voices around there, unless you'd like your neighbors to be part of your conversation. Everyone has their windows open, most of the time.
The owners of the Nest are a pleasure to deal with and really keep the place up to their own standards as they also stay their part of the time when not renting out.
The place is every bit as lovely as the pictures describe, they keep it very clean and it's a great place for folks like me, that like it hypoallergenic, non-smoking and pet free.
I think if you are a respectful and quiet vacationer you will be very happy here. The beach is beautiful and quite a walk down and quite the walk or run up (think steep and long) if you are in very good shape. I walked it, hubby ran it. lol On the weekends from Sept-May you can take the funicular back up the hill from the beach and it does run all summer.
Side note: Angelina's is a great pizza place in the area, they are from Italy and make true Italian pizza, right on down to the imported flour, espresso and other items.
It's hard to write this review because we want to go back, and it's funny I feel oddly protective of the owners so treat them right! :) They're good folks and they'll treat you right.
Thank you for the kind words and for being a part of our Nest family. We hope our guests will make special memories and make the Beach Nest their home during their stay. It is a joy for us to make new friends with our guests in the condo. Thanks for taking such good care of the condo too. Hopefully, you will return to our NEST.
Great Vacation Rental.
This condo had everything I could have needed for cooking or baking. It was stocked like my home.Thank you Shirley and Rick for putting so much thought into what people would need. Very clean and beautiful location. We stayed here a month last year and it was very nice. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. Pete and Marti
Rick and I are sooooo appreciative of the guests like Pete and Marti who can enjoy the condo and make family memories in our Beach Nest. It means a lot to us to have families who take such good care of the condo too. Thank you, Pete and Marti, for being part of our NEST family. Rick and Shirley
Deluxe condo at Dana Point
The Beach Nest is by far the best vacation rental we have stayed in. Its location can't be beat for touring the many attractions in So. Cal. including access to the beach. The condo was immaculate with many upgrades including granite counters, wood floors, high ceilings, and comfortable beds. The owners have thought of everything. Shirley and Rick were a pleasure to work with and were prompt in answering any questions that I had. We look forward to returning to The Beach Nest.
First Class Everything!
Thank you Shirley and Rick for making our trip to Southern California a memorable and relaxing one!!
To any visitors considering this unit, your search should end with this unit. The furnishings are luxurious yet comfortable. The condo is very clean and well stocked. The owners, Rick and Shirley provide you with just about everything you can think of or dream of. Appliances are new and top of the line. Washer and Dryer actually made doing laundry less of a chore.
More than anything however, Rick and Shirley are very attentive and quick to answer their phones if there are any issues or questions. We would have booked the unit again for our trip in July but its already booked - and now we know why!
It means a great deal to us to have such a nice family who come to our Beach Nest to make family memories. Thank you for being a part of our Nest family. We want you to feel welcome in the condo and also want you to feel like it is a home and not just another rental. You are the type of family we want to be in The Nest. Please do return again. Many Thanks,
Rick and Shirley
Smash Hit!
This condo is a SMASH HIT! You would be hard pressed to find a condo like this one-----squeaky clean, beautifully done----the master suite a true delight with a new bathroom, a kitchen equipped with all the extras you could imagine, a living room so very comfortable, two porches on which to relax and enjoy an evening, beach within sight for some awesome sunsets, excellent restaurants close by, trips to Disney, a snap, the wonders of Laguna Beach just up the road with it shops and restaurants---try C'est La Vie for a real treat---just charming. Dana Point, while being close to the action, has an atmosphere that is quiet and relaxing----just how you want to end the day. The owners, Shirley and Rick, are a pleasure to work with and their Beach Nest shows just how much they care.
We have been renting on vacation websites for years, all over the country and found this one to be in our top three!
YOU CANNOT GO WRONG!
