This guest suite is perfect for your escape to a tranquil and peaceful retreat. With 2 queen beds, heating, AC, WiFi, smart TVs and more (see below), guests will have everything they need for a wonderful stay. This cozy space offers a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring the area. We look forward to welcoming you to our place.

NOTICE: The guest suite is a completely independent and private section of a larger condo. It is separated by a hallway. The suite includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom (towels, soap, shampoo, hair dryer are provided) NOTHING is SHARED and you won’t meet anyone. It’s self check-in. One bedroom opens to a large furnished terrace with enchanting views. The terrace is exclusively yours. Step to the terrace from your bedroom and relax on the comfortable furniture, meditate while beholding the serene view. Drink a glass of wine, cup of coffee or work on your laptop. It’s very peaceful & quiet. Only bird song and fresh weather. Enjoy the enchanting views and sunny southern CA weather.
Please notice that your ACCESS is LIMITED to the suite & terrace.

There are plenty of free parking on the adjacent street (30 sec walk to suite). No parking on the premises is allowed at any time. Your car may get towed. The guest suite does NOT have a KITCHEN. Just two single rooms. We provide a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, 2 large screen smart TVs, fans, heaters, cups, hangers, etc. (See photos). There’s also a good size closet and hangers in the second bedroom. Plenty of restaurants within 5-15 minutes drive. That includes lovely Laguna Beach & Dana Point. For brunch we recommend Plumeria. Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria and Montage resorts are within 10 min drive. Disney Land is about 30 min drive. John Wayne airport 25 min. Fashion island in New port beach about 25 min drive.

Quiet and clean. Host was nice and communicative. Guest suit is separated by wall not a hallway just to be clear. Didn’t ruin anything because we just slept there, and couldn’t hear anyone next door until checkout, but it is not an independent unit.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Jun, 2026
Thanks. You didn’t mentioned I allowed you bring few guests (3 extra) and offered you late check out and checked on with you couple of times and you said the stay is great. Disappointed as you disrupted our perfect streak of 10/10 after 15 guests or so. A bit of generosity and appreciation goes a long way. As for the independence of the unit as it’s described and you experienced and stated, you didn’t share anything, you didn’t meet anyone, you didn’t see anyone or even heard no one. Totally separated, independent unit. Part of suite (2bdr) is separated by a hallway if you paid attention and part separated by a wall. It’s the same type of wall that separated you from the neighboring condo. No difference. Totally separated and independent guest suite. If it was not part of a bigger condo and stand alone structure you’d have paid few hundred dollars more. So you got a bargain price for the location and exceptional view and privacy. You experienced same thing the 20 guests before you and they gave perfect scores, plus the extra flexibility on my part to allow 3 extra guests (a violation) but nonetheless no perfect score. Well, we continue to strive to offer best service and make our guests happy. You say: we didn’t hear anything until check out. You mean the landscaping staff that mow the lawns etc. I guess. This location is not just quiet! It’s EXTREMELY quiet, peaceful, safe and serene! And charming!

The Host was great. Rooms were clean and nice!. Its in a nice quiet area near a golf course. Found shops nearby for shopping and a nice Nigel Donuts/bakery for breakfast and many other places in Dana Point. Host helped us a beach with free parking and we were able to enjoy a couple of days in a nice quiet area in the hills of Laguna Niguel. It is a Condo which part was converted into a VRBO.

Thank you Doug. We appreciate guests who read the descriptions and come with the right expectations. Those are happy guests like yourself. Unfortunately once in a while we get folks who come here complaining there was no pool or the host didn’t serve us stake dinner and give poor reviews. We are responsible for what we have promised not what we have not promised. We think that’s indicative of emotional or cognitive deficit which afflicts a low percentage of any society. We are confident our seasoned guests will ignore the reviews written by such troubled folks. We are taking our responsibility very seriously and are committed to make your stay a pleasant and comfortable one. Thank you

Thank you Shawn for your honest review. We appreciate guests like you who read the descriptions correctly and have the right expectations and end up happy. I want to take opportunity here and respond to another guest, (VRBO’s system is deficient and can’t let me respond to reviews coming from Expedia! (Welcome to hosting nightmares) I’m taking about Randall’s review. Randall unfortunately is as ignorant as they come. He has complained about lack of access to pool which was never among the amenities. Also he complained about lack of access to the golf course which is a separately owned private property and is clearly mentioned in our listing with capital letters that there’s no access to it. He’s also written some twisted description of the property as it being “dark and musty”! This can’t be farther from the truth! Our property is lovely & feels like heaven. Lots of natural light with immediate access to a terrace with stunning views and tranquility all over. Please ignore Randall’s misinformation and twisted review. We have 9 out of 13 perfect scores and we make sure you will have a pleasant and comfortable stay. You’ll love your stay 🌺

Home away from home

What a bargain! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, with breathtaking views right from your suite. You can’t beat the price for two fully furnished, separate rooms. Plenty of street parking nearby.Arya was wonderful—always available and attentive. Check-in was seamless, with clear and detailed instructions for easy self check-in. No gates, no confusion, no need for a guide. Check-out was just as simple—shut the door and leave.The place was peaceful, private, and tranquil. It was also clean, comfortable, and located in a safe, serene neighborhood. After searching through most vacation rentals, this was by far the most affordable option in pricey South Orange County. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and sightseeing spots nearby.

Randall

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The good: two separate sleeping rooms, a must when you have a snorer in the family. Cheaper than two hotel rooms. The operator is also responsive and friendly over text messages. The bad: This is a crudely separated two bedroom, 1 bath carve out from a larger place. The inside door locks only from the inside and does not lock when you are gone. Upon checkin, you will be given explicit instructions not to walk anywhere on the grounds - a major bummer because there are nice walking paths around the golf course that I would have enjoyed. There is also a pool in the complex, but there is no access for that either. I suspect that the HOA and/or city do not permit short term rentals - otherwise I have no explanation for why we were strictly forbidden from enjoying the amenities. The place itself is on the bottom floor so it is dark, dank, and musty. We ran the bathroom fan all day and our towels were still damp. Also, there are security cameras on the porch so a complete lack of privacy in the only area where one could have comfortably sat and enjoyed the view of where they are forbidden to go.

Simple, No Frills, Economical StayThis property is as advertised. The space was private. The toiletries, snacks, and drinks were appreciated. The beds were comfortable. One was firmer, one was softer, so good options for guests. The view from the back patio was nice. The area and property was quiet and felt safe. Communication with the owner was clear and effective. Communication was a bit excessive. The rules seem VERY important here, and are communicated almost excessively. I’m sure there are likely past guests that have had a hard time following rules and directions, leading to the owner feeling the need to ensure clarity and understanding. But for those of us that can follow directions and respect rules, the level of communication made things feel less at ease or comfortable than I would’ve liked. If we were looking for a staycation on property, this property probably wouldn’t have been for us. For our plans, we needed a bed to sleep in and this did the job.

Thank you. Precise description though a bit dry (no frills). Like the view, is VERY nice not just nice :-) You’re a very thoughtful person. You guessed it quite right and thank you for mentioning it. YES, we emphasize many times that access is limited to the suite and porch. We text it, include it in the house rules, post in on the door and next thing we know the guests are out in the grass saying oh, sorry we didn’t know it! If we mention something if we insist it’s EXACTLY because of past experiences. And for that THANK YOU!
