Watch the ocean, walk the beach, cook or dine, read, golf, relax, walk the dog. Repeat as needed, so we did. Property was a dream come true, especially selecting from the more limited list that accepts dogs along with people, with a stunning view of the beach and the ocean, including playful dolphins and even a peek at a whale. As our first VRBO trip, we were concerned about how it all works, and it was great. The listing and photos were accurate as to the location, the property, and the area. The place was clean and well-maintained, and the owner was available and helpful via email in the days leading up to and during the trip. We would definitely recommend this property and area. Dana Point is also rich in beautiful and well kept parks, and the restaurants we tried were excellent as well, especially Casanova and Luciana's for Italian, Stacks for breakfast, and Beach Cities pizza. It is entirely likely we will be back.
