DO NOT BOOK! I had multiple families coming into town for a wedding (which the host knew from prior messages) and she canceled on me just HOURS before check in! We were flying all the way from Buffalo, NY for my daughter’s wedding and didn’t know it was canceled until we were on route from LAX! I booked in July for March 2026, and since then there are MULTIPLE reviews stating that she canceled last minute. BUYER BEWARE

DO NOT STAY HERE!She has a 10% cancellation rate. She did not respond the entire weekend before check in, then 4 hours before check in cancelled on us. She left me and my family (2 children) stranded in LA. VRBO would not let us get a same day booking, so we had to do 3 separate bookings the week of Thanksgiving. I would not trust this person or stay here. Do not subject your family to the same torture we went through. She has done this to multiple people and I would avoid this property at ALL costs!

I reserved this location three months in advance. On the check in day I was told by the owner that my reservation was cancelled. My friends and I were traveling from out of state and had to find a new location with little notice. Thankfully they did refund me however I am frustrated that there was no proactive measures they had taken to avoid the last minute cancellation.

DO NOT stay here. The host cancelled on me less than 2 hours before check in after we had the house booked for over 2 months and paid in full. We were left stranded and no where to go for a destination wedding weekend. Very unreliable and horrible communication. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

Wedding Weekend in Dana Point
My brother and I and our families were invited to a wedding in Laguna Beach. We were thrilled to find Barbara's house and it worked just perfectly because each couple had their own bedroom AND bathroom and there was plenty of areas for us to hang out, eat and play games. The location was also great to get to the wedding and walking distance to some restaurants. I would highly recommend it.

Perfect place for a family wedding
The house set up that included 5 beds and 6 bathrooms was perfect for the large group that we had. We had a toddler who needed a pack and play and 2 of the rooms were huge with plenty of room for the pack n play. The back yard is a nice space to hang out during the day and is shaded in the afternoon. We had to reach out to the host a few times and communication was a bit delayed but we ended up working with the host’s daughter in law and she was prompt and wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond to help us when we had a family emergency during our stay. We would definitely book this house again!

Out of Code, insect infestation, unclean, facilities not functioning, holes in ceiling, great locale
Great location, TERRIBLE otherwise, dirty, insects, out of code, things not as offered! Master shower wouldn't shut off initially nor drain! Shower on 1st floor bedroom has a hole in the ceiling that is leaking into it from bath above, the second master bathroom toilet seat falling off, smoke detector in 2ndfloor bedroom missing and wires hanging out of ceiling, same bed bathroom shower window does not close and has no screen, insects are getting in house (moths ants flies found throughout house), 2nd floor bedroom shower has 1 glass sliding door that doesn't function and has a shower curtain in place of missing other door, numerous lights throughout house either not functioning or have burnt out bulbs (at least one in every room several in most), both outside grills are not functioning, carpet stained throughout house, master bedroom balcony has visible mold throughout and patio furniture visibly moldy, windows and treatments throughout house not functioning properly (not unable to open or close), patio doors rotted around frame and show signs of insect damage, ants in kitchen, Mold on ceiling in entryway, musty smell everywhere, Master has light fixture above tub/out of code. Worn dated, unkempt. Contacted landlord rep who was responsive at first when we feared flood from shower not draining or shutting off, promised to fix then just ghosted us. Not even a customary sorry we're not going to do anything call. Can not and do not recommend.

Great home for a quick stay
Home was aged in decor but beautiful at the same time. The moment I walked in it reminded me of my grandmothers. The stay was good all the way around. Quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking, close to things and we even walked to the water (drove back because it is uphill). Everything worked and the layout was nice.

Dana Point Home
The home was in a beautiful neighborhood, walking distance from the beach. We felt safe. It was easy to get to San Juan Capistrano and other destinations for food and other activities. The property was clean and the property manager was very nice and very helpful. VRBO does need to update the bathroom situation on the website, as it says a 1/2 bath for 5 bedrooms, and there were several full baths. I hope they will correct this throughout the description of the property.

The location was great! Very spacious and nice to have a bathroom for every bedroom. The interior was nice, but the exterior was showing wear. Had problems with opening and closing a number of the windows and also problems with manipulating a number of the blinds. The beds were comfortable. The discounted price made it worth it.

Property needs some updates/maintenance.
I would say that the house was in a great location and accommodated our large group easily. It was an ideal spot to get together because it was near to the wedding we were attending. However, I don’t believe the owner or manager has stayed in the house for a long time because not only could it use a deep clean but it needs to be better maintained. I’m not saying that the house wasn’t clean because housekeeping did a good job but the cabinets, shelves and closets could be decluttered. There was stains on the carpet, walls that needed to be touched up and windows and blinds that needed to be fixed. The master bedroom only had lights next to the bed so at night the room was quite dark (when we were trying to pack up for an early departure). The master shower did not have a soap dish, rack or any way to hold a bar of soap, shampoo or anything. Plus the water pressure was quite low and either very cold or quite hot….changing throughout the shower even when I wasn’t touching it. I will say the kitchen was fully stocked and the backyard was quite lovely. With a little love and attention, this house could be a great rental property!

Nice neighborhood
This house is in a great neighborhood but is in need of some upkeep. Check in requires you to track down to the house manager upon arrival, the garage is filled with old furniture and supplies, they furnace didn't work and required us to put the unit back together and replace the batteries in the thermostat. The view from the upper bedroom balcony is fantastic.
