Great place in Dana Point
This was a great base for us to stay in Dana Point when we were visiting for a wedding. The house had everything we needed and was a great location to walk down to the lantern district and explore the coast.

An Oasis
We loved coming “home” to our little oasis after a day of activities. We were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect spot to stay. It was very comfortable for us - two couples. And the courtyard was so beautiful.
Thank you for providing such a great rental.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stay, especially the backyard mini-oasis! The house was on a high traffic road, but we didn’t notice any noise once inside. Everything was clean and comfortable.
