We loved our stay in this home! Jon responded quickly to all of my questions both before and during the week we were there. I didn't interact with the house mgr except by text, but we met the owners and housekeeper (Sandra), & they were very nice. The property is VERY clean and well-maintained. We flew to LAX and then drove to the home in about 1.5 hrs. It was only about 45 mins (in traffic) to Disneyland, 1.5 hrs to Universal, 1.5 hrs to Beverly Hills, and an easy 20 minute drive to Laguna. We all loved the Dana Point beaches, marina, fresh air, and found the beaches to be less crowded, yet still well equipped. The neighborhood is gated, and is very safe. Dana Point in general is a safe little town, and we loved being so close to the beach. The kids walked to the beach, which took them about 20-25 mins. each way, there is a pedestrian bridge across the PCH to get to the ocean. The beds were all comfortable, with high quality linens, pillows, and towels. Each guest is provided with a big beach towel, and a set for bathing. The 4.5 bathrooms were nice & clean; there is a powder on the main, 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, (including the master)and one bedroom with ensuite access, this bathroom also has a second door to the hall, so the guest in the bedroom without an ensuite can use it. This worked perfectly for our group since we had 6 teens that were a mix of boys and girls. All of the girls had ensuite baths, and the 2 boys were in the 2 bedrooms that shared the hall bath. The master suite is palatial, and very comfy. It has TWO W.C.'s, so the home has 4.5 baths, but 6 toilets. All of the furniture was comfy, & all 8 of us could easily dine together at the kitchen table. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to prep large meals in, with several people cooking at once. The sunny backyard with the salt water pool and hot tub are perfect. We would absolutely recommend this house and would return. The only things that I would improve or clarify in the listing are: you're expected to launder ALL of the towels before check-out, but there was no detergent, they had only1 hair drier, no dish soap, foil, etc, & no beach chairs or coolers. The paper work it referred to a "welcome package", unless the 1 garbage bag & 1 DW tab was it? You do not have access to a walk-in pantry. They need instructions for the TV's, kitchen faucet, & TV parental control passcode added to the house "info book". Shop at Ralph's, the Albertson's is terrible. House is a 9.9/10!!
