Rent by the month, come and go as you please . **Testimonials** Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our time at your beach condo. Strand Beach is a beautiful beach and it was nice being so close. While we didn't have the view we had hoped to have, being walking distance certainly made up for it. And we really appreciated the?beach toys, umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels that you provided. That was great! Our grandson had so much fun playing with all those toys. We all had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean and had most everything we needed.' - Carolyn Corona, CA,
'We really enjoyed the condo in Dana Point. It was a great location for all our activites. Great with the 10 month old with the master bedroom and the private bath. The play pen worked well. Thanks much!' - Jim , Wausau, WI,
'We found this property to be absolutely perfect! We only had to walk across the street to get down to the beach. The neighborhood was nice, the boys LOVED the pool, the layout of the home is perfect - having two bathrooms. I appreciated very much having the laptop that I could use - so thank you for that extra! We were THRILLED to see beach items at the home so we didn't have to buy any extra things and were very appreciative of the toiletries and cleaning supplies. We would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone. We rented it with my husband, myself, my mom and our two boys and it worked wonderfully! The area is FANTASTIC!! We never had to travel more than 10 minutes away in the whole time we were there. Everything is SO close! We will be keeping this in mind if we visit again. Jon ! Canon City, CO,

'We very much enjoyed our vacation with the grandchildren in California. The weather was great and they enjoyed all of the activities that we were able to undertaken including the beaches, swimming pool, Disneyland and the San Diego zoo. We even took them to the museum at San Juan Capistrano. The annual return of the swallows was one of those early childhood memories of mine, so it was Grampa's time'! Doug, Canada.
'We so enjoyed our stay at your condo. The amenities were ideal for our family of four. It is in the perfect location -- beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, close to Disneyland, and it's not too far from San Diego. The views in Dana Point are spectacular. We took advantage of a whale watching/dolphin watching excursion and ate at The Brig almost every day. We had a great time, and we sincerely appreciate letting us use your condo for our most enjoyable vacation! We will definitely consider renting this condo again. Judie Phoenix, AZ ' - Judie

Also we also appreciated how organized and professional you were with regards to the rental agreement and how we enter the place as well as how to leave it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is FANTASTIC! Right across from Strand beach which connects with Salt Creek Beach which were fun to walk. Dana Headlands nature area with ocean cliff walk is at the end of the street. Walk to town easily with a mile depending on where you want to go. Other city parks and trails close by. Costco and grocery stores with 10 minutes.The owners were friendly, responsive, and helpful. The unit was clean. It had a newer refrigerator and dishwasher as well as newer washer and dryer. There is no A/C but ocean breezes kept it cool. Space heaters in different rooms.Furnishings and the condo is worn, but functional. Master bed was comfortable. Kitchen is tight for 2 people but we made out OK.All in all- we were happy to have this unit in an amazing location.

It was nice having you and your lovely wife.
I am very happy you had a great time.
Any Feedback greatly appreciated and noted. Thank you for choosing us and next time you are in the area let us know. Take care and enjoy a healthy and peaceful rest of the year.
The place was cozy and had everything we needed. It’s across to Salt Creek and the Harbor was terrific. We had several questions when we first arrived and we were responded to immediately. We would definitely staff there next year.

Very NICE!!!
This is a 3 bedroom very nice condo with superb views of the beach. The condo is large, nicely laid out and well-equipped. Multiple rooms with beach views. The owner is responsive and easy to work with. Deposit was returned within one week of the stay. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants a great price for a great unit!

We loved having you and I'm happy you had a fantastic vacation time with your family. My job is to keep our guests comfortable, and enjoy their stay. Thank you and you are very welcomed in your next trip to the area.
Condo was fine for 4 people, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. New washer, dryer, fridge. Kitchen very well equipped. Only needed to pick up wine cork puller !
Location very good. Excellent ocean viewing walking path one minute away. Could walk to downtown restaurants (30 minutes).

Bill. Thank you for the feedback. We enjoyed having you and family. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Except for the never ending rain. We got more then we asked for. Glad you arrived well back home. Take care and stay well. Dee
We stayed from mid Dec to end of March. The condo is located in a n excellent location across street from the beach,near restaurants, shopping and walking paths. The floor was poorly cleaned by the cleaning crew when we arrived so I started by cleaning the floor. The owner told me I should have let her know and she would have sent them back to clean it but didn't want to wait. The living room furniture is well used and could be upgraded but adequate.
The kitchen is well stocked. The beds were comfortable and clean. We had a issue and the owner responded promptly and was available to assist for further issues. We had a wonderful winter as we thoroughly enjoyed the beach and the area.

Very Nice Vacation Rental in an Excellent Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay in this condo. It was a very clean unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It had all the amenities we expected and actually exceeded our expectations. It was nicer in person than in the pictures, and 2 of the 3 TVs had recently been upgraded to flat panels. The WiFi connection was good thru-out the unit. We had a couple of minor issues while we were there (trouble with key, Kitchen sink leak), but both were addressed within 2 hours (you can't do any better than that!). The hot water also went out for several hours 1 day and the pool was closed a few days for maintenance, but both of these issues were beyond the unit owner's control and the owner's were very responsive to our inquiries about them. The location is fabulous and you can walk almost everywhere. Overall, the unit is an excellent value for the money. We would definitely come back and stay again.

Worst Experience!! - Renter Beware!!!
Bottom line is that our rental experience at this condo was completely unacceptable. Instead of a relaxing / rejuvenating vacation we were constantly being contacted by the owner to be the go between to get broken items in the condo fixed. For example:
• Dishwasher was broken the entire visit. We were forced to deal with multiple parties to try to resolve; to no avail. In fact, one day, we lost part of our day waiting on the plumber that left because the owner chose not to pay for his services. However, no one informed us! We shouldn’t have been dealing with this issue at all. It’s the property owner's responsibility to have a manager that takes care of these issues when they arise. We had to hand wash dishes the entire visit.
•Dishes in the cabinets were dirty upon our arrival - GROSS!
*Patio had major hole from water repair that brought repair men in
•Electricity went out 3 times
•Hot water was out for a day
•Ceiling fan in guest bedroom was broken
•No can opener of any kind in kitchen
•Broken hairdryer in guest bath
•No portable crib when we arrived. That was additional wasted time for us versus it being in place as promised.
•I was on the phone with the owner, Frank, or a repair person EVERY DAY of my vacation…sometimes 3 times per day. I don’t think that’s a vacation when I’m dealing with the condo’s shortcomings.
*The crowning moment was when we were singing happy birthday to my husband's mother and 2 repair men joined in. Really? Some vacation!!
I’ve rented many times from VRBO and by far this was my worst experience.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar, 2020
We are sorry for these things that happened during this particular stay. We have never experienced anything quite like this, because we take care of everything in a timely fashion. Everything was in working order prior to guests arrival. The crib was there by 3 pm, but the guest arrived by 1 pm. The contract states that arrival is at 3pm stat. Electricity and water went out for a short time, however we have no control of this because the association is responsible for these matters and the repairs were speedy and taken care of once we called. We are proud of our vaction condo business dealings with our guests because we are always there when issues come up and we solve it promptly.
Enjoyed waking up and walk by the beach and looking out to the ocean. The sunsets were beautiful. We did some boat rides in the marina and also visited a concert in the park. The Ritz hotel was a great place to have lunch an watch the waves come in. The best was the cool weather while everyone back home was experience ing 100 degree weather.
Dee’s condo is located in a beautiful area! The condo has lots of sunlight and directly across from Strands Beach and the ocean-we loved that!
However, the condo itself could use a little TLC. and attention. We were disappointed that some of the everyday necessities that you would need for a stay, was not supplied. We went ahead and purchased the items ourselves needed for us and future guests.
The neighbors are very nice in the connecting units!

Thank you Tim for staying with us again. We ask you if you needed anything during your stay and you said the following in a text.
"Thanks Dee. The fireplace works great. Everything here is fine and we are enjoying ourselves. " The only thing you mentioned before you left the condo was the wine opener was missing but you got one. We are available for our guests, before they arrive, during and after. So any concerns just let me know right away so we can take care in time so you are comfortable and enjoy your stay.
We stayed for nearly 2 months and we enjoyed it very much. The apartment is in the best possible location and the neighborhood and neighbors are wonderful. You have immediate access to the beach and with a short walk you will find plenty of restaurants. Grocery shopping is in reach within 5-10 minutes by car.
The apartment is well equipped. Some of the furnitures are a little dated but you will find everything you are looking for.
The only concern for some of the future renters might be the circumstances that the owner/tenant upstairs takes his DAILY shower at 5.45 am.....sunshine or rain.....Monday or Saturday. They also use the bathroom at least 3 times a night and you can hear them using the bathroom and flushing the water. If you have a good sleep that might not be an issue but I woke up early every day.
The property manager is very responsive and friendly!!
Overall it was a very pleasant stay with no issues!!
The location of this unit was perfect for the two of us and for our grandchildren who came to visit. There is a grassy area right outside this lower unit to sit or play on. We are right across the street from the parking lot that overlooks Strands Beach and the furnicular entrance to the beach. The unit is cozy and comfortable with plenty of natural light for a lower unit. The owners were responsive to our needs. We hope to stay here again!
This is such a perfect location! The hosts were kind and responsive to any needs we had. Comfy beds, bright lighting, and spacious rooms were perks! We would definitely come back to this place.
I just want to let everyone know that he was a wonderful host I would recommend this property to anyone that enjoys a beautiful sceneries of Southern Orange County and the teachers are to die for D the property manager was exceptional

Fabulous ocean breeze condo!
Many thanks to owners Dee, and husband Frank, for their immediate responsivness to questions upon our arrival. We escaped 2 months of Arizona's summer heat to enjoy the very comfortable open air condo, Dana Point, beaches, restaurants, parks, pool, people, the wharf, two near-by Trader Joe's, and so much more. The condo is well maintained and furnished as well as stocked in a welcoming manner. We hope to return. Thanks so much!. Barbie and Brent...

I stayed at this condo for about 45 days during March and April and loved every minute of it. It is literally right across the street from the entrance to Strands Beach, is very quiet, and had everything I could ever want or need while I was there. Everything in the unit worked perfectly. The ocean breezes blow right through the unit creating a beautiful cool retreat. I would stay here over and over again!

Wonderful vacation rental!
We truly enjoyed staying here for the month of Januray. We especially liked the location, near the beach and harbor, next to a park and bike/walking trail. We used the trail and the tennis courts the most. Our condo was comfortable, clean, well stocked,quiet and has designated parking right outside. Dana Point is a fun community with great restaurants and fun activities. We went to the marina and harbor several times per week. We give Dee and her place our highest recommendation.
