Sand and Surf Vacation in Dana Point, California

“Not as advertised. One bedroom is basically on the stair landing with no privacy. No bathroom upstairs. Outside, both front and back, despite the gorgeous oceanfront, had rusted out firepit, gross dirty cushions on chairs. We had to put towels over the cushions. The trash closet door and the door from driveway to back deck were both off the hinges and dangerous. Inside the house was clean but there were so many signs around the house with rules, it was insulting-we weren’t having a frat party there-we were there for a short vacation with our 2 grandchildren.”

“The place was very clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are very comfortable. It wasn’t as close to the beach as we understood and is quite a trek. Also they wanted a high early (2-3 hours) check in fee which most other properties have not charges for if they can accommodate you. Other than that it is a great property and would recommend it.”

“The host is wonderful and the views are spectacular and sleeping by the ocean felt very tranquil. Communication was excellent at all times, we had issues with the house that were fixed. However, we unfortunately came at a super hot week during our stay and due to the lack of air flow in the house (the one window that provided air flow from the beach was shut and broken) some days were hot even with the doors open and A/C fans. We booked knowing there was no A/C, so we knew this was a possibility. Again, views are gorgeous but just wished there was more ventilation in the house given the weather conditions.”

“We had a pleasant stay overall — the home was very clean and met our needs. A few downsides: there were a lot of posted rules/signage around the property, and only two extra rolls of toilet paper were provided, which wasn’t nearly enough for a family of four for a week — guests are expected to supply their own after that. Appreciated how quick the host was to respond.”

“We had a great stay at this beach house in Dana Point! The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was fantastic and made it really easy to enjoy the beach and everything Dana Point has to offer.”
